Riassunto:

This book addresses professionals across multi-disciplinary fields and provides an insight into the way in which students and teachers interrelate. An interpretive approach to teaching and learning is explored in this volume. It gives rise to a series of dilemmas for the tutor of professional people; dilemmis which arise from attempts to apply educational values in a social context- shaped by previous expectations of learning and institutional pressures. Such dilemmas are explored by interweaving accounts of teaching, the author's reflective fieldnotes as a course tutor, students' evaluative commentaries, and fictional accounts, in order to uncover how teaching and learning are experienced in these settings. They give rise to an understanding of the relationship between tutor and student which emphasises the control which the professional people are able to exercise over the development of their own understanding and practice. Following an outline account of an interpretive approach to teaching and learning, the chapters consider the stages of learning from negotiating the learning context, encounteringthe unknown, reflecting upon experience, developing new understanding, course evaluation and a reconsideration, professional competences which such courses might serve.
