Synopsis

This text covers professional education and developing the required knowledge and skills to equip students for the pressing needs of professional practice. Imogen Taylor explores how professional education can develop approaches to teaching and learning which both help learners to be reflexive, self-monitoring practitioners and meet the requirements of professional accrediting bodies. She draws on her own research into students experiencing professional education based on small group, problem-based learning and on an extensive range of relevant international theory and research.

Review

"...a coherent, complex, balanced portrait of a non-traditional programme of professional preparation which supports yet challenges both graduates used to more traditional approaches and non-traditional students who are strangers to university education...refreshinglyrealistic, drawing attention to a diversity of students' problems..." - Higher Education Review
