Education and Expertise cover

The relevance of expertise to professional education and practice is explored in this collection of original contributions from educationalists, philosophers and psychologists.

  • Discusses the increasingly prominent debates about the nature of know-how in mainstream analytical epistemology
  • Illuminates what is involved in professional expertise and the implications of a sound understanding of professional expertise for professional education practice, curriculum design and assessment
  • All contributions are philosophically grounded and reflect interdisciplinary advances in understanding expertise
  • <

‘This recently published book is a challenging and very rewarding contribution to the debate on expertise in professional and vocational education. 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.’
