Learning in Landscapes of PracticeBoundaries, identity, and knowledgeability in practice-based learning\nAuthor(s): Etienne Wenger-Trayner, Steven Hutchinson, Chris Kubiak, Beverly Wenger-Trayner, Mark Fenton-O'Creevy\nFormat: Hardback\nPublisher: Taylor & Francis Ltd, United Kingdom\nImprint: Routledge\nISBN-13: 9781138022188, 978-1138022188\nSynopsis\nIf the body of knowledge of a profession is a living landscape of practice, then our personal experience of learning can be thought of as a journey through this landscape. Within Learning in Landscapes of Practice, this metaphor is further developed in order to start an important conversation about the nature of practice knowledge, identity and the experience of practitioners and their learning. In doing so, this book is a pioneering and timely exploration of the future of professional development and higher education. The book combines a strong theoretical perspective grounded in social learning theories with stories from a broa.
