Developing Learning in Professional Education

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.

Imogen Taylor is a Lecturer in Professional Studies at the University of Bristol. To her experience of professional practice, training and education she brings her recent ethnographic research into student learning. She has published widely in professional journals.
