Teachers and Teaching in Vocational and Professional Education

<p><em>Teachers and Teaching in Vocational and Professional Education</em> introduces a critical understanding of how teachers deliver occupational or vocational courses at various academic levels. Including wider coverage of work-related programmes and based on empirical research this book uses the term occupation-related to refer to programmes spanning several academic levels and education sectors including the further and higher education sectors. </p><p>The book disassociates the English context of work-related studies where issues of the academic-vocational division and socio-cultural dimensions have hampered critical investigations of this under-researched topic. Also it offers a conceptual framework from the perspectives of teachers in their teaching and work-related settings derived from the understanding and development of Bernstein’s recontextualization process. </p><p><em>Teachers and Teaching in Vocational and Professional Education</em> will be of great interest to academics researchers and postgraduates who are engaged in the study of education and occupation-related programmes. The programme areas include accounting dental hygiene equine studies fashion and textiles health and social care medical training of clinicians and emergency medicine and travel and tourism.</p>
