In Education and Expertise, the intricate relationship between expertise and professional education is thoroughly examined through a collection of original contributions. These insights stem from a diverse group of educationalists, philosophers, and psychologists, each bringing their unique perspectives to the forefront. The book delves into the ongoing debates surrounding the essence of know-how, particularly within the realm of mainstream analytical epistemology. This exploration not only highlights the theoretical underpinnings of expertise but also addresses its practical implications in various educational contexts.

The authors illuminate the complexities involved in achieving professional expertise, emphasizing the necessity for a nuanced understanding that can significantly influence professional education practices. The discussions extend to curriculum design and assessment, revealing how a robust comprehension of expertise can enhance educational outcomes. As the contributors engage with these themes, they provide valuable insights that are both philosophically grounded and reflective of interdisciplinary advancements in the understanding of expertise.

Rooted firmly in philosophical debates about knowledge, practice and expertise, the book also features contributions that draw extensively on psychology, and engages with work from the sociology of scientific knowledge.’
