Practice Learning in the Caring Professions

Giving clear guidance on the practice and theory of practice learning, this book draws on 15 years’ experience and argues for a central role for practice learning in the education of the caring professions. Dave Evans makes a convincing case that practice learning occupies a central role in the education and training of the caring professions. In doing so, he affirms the activities of many service agency staff involved in practice teaching and assessment and offers them clear models and illustrative examples to aid their development. He also explores ways in which practice learning and assessment can be effectively developed in academic settings.
