There is a growing interest in understanding learning in and through work and its relationship to what is required to be learnt for effective and productive working lives. This book offers a range of emergent perspectives based on current research on learning through and for work. The common focus among these perspectives is to understand how individuals engage in and learn through their work. This includes how they learn about, manage and respond to change in their work and develop approaches and responses to learning in, through and for their working lives. The key contribution of this book...

A curious ambiguity surrounds errors in professional working contexts: they must be avoided in case they lead to adverse (and potentially disastrous) results, yet they also hold the key to improving our knowledge and procedures. In a further irony, it seems that a prerequisite for circumventing errors is our remaining open to their potential occurrence and learning from them when they do happen. This volume, the first to integrate interdisciplinary perspectives on learning from errors at work, presents theoretical concepts and empirical evidence in an attempt to establish under what...

The International Handbook of Research in Professional and Practice-based Learning discusses what constitutes professionalism, examines the concepts and practices of professional and practice-based learning, including associated research traditions and educational provisions. It also explores professional learning in institutions of higher and vocational education as well the practice settings where professionals work and learn, focusing on both initial and ongoing development and how that learning is assessed. The Handbook features research from expert contributors in education, studies of...

Bildungsarbeit. Es werden theoretische Modelle entwickelt, konkrete Evaluationskonzepte vorgestellt und der Stellenwert von Evaluation fur die Weiterbildung beschrieben."

Christian Harteis untersucht, inwieweit Beschaftigte in ausgewahlten Industriebetrieben Bedingungen vorfinden, die sowohl die Entwicklung als auch die Anwendung ihrer individuellen Kompetenz fordern und fordern. Er verdeutlicht die Defizite der bisherigen Theorieentwicklung, fuhrt mit dem Regensburger Konvergenz-Konzept einen neuen theoretischen Ansatz ein und zeigt Anschlusse fur weitere Forschungsvorhaben auf.
