Session Information
22 SES 13 B, Re-thinking Professional Formation: Towards New Imaginaries (Part 2)
Symposium, continues from 22 Ses12 B
Contribution
This paper reviews research on professional formation in teacher education and nursing. Benner et al. (2010) describe ‘formation’ as the formal and informal learning that lay persons undergo as they become nurses or teachers. The contributions of individualism-collectivism, competitiveness-conflict and relational/communication competencies to professional formation in teacher education and nursing are critically analysed. Key international journals in teacher education and nursing are reviewed, confined to papers published since 2005. First, a brief account of dominant international policy discourses that appear most influential on teaching and nursing will be provided. Second, the historical professional trajectories of teaching and nursing will be succinctly outlined. Third a systematic and critical analysis of each of the three themes will be undertaken for both nursing and teaching in a comparative contrastive manner. Fourth, emergent issues, that appear to be of major significance within the respective fields will be carefully scrutinised, as a means of painting a more comprehensive picture of these professional fields. Fifth, tentative conclusions will be drawn regarding the contribution of these professional ‘themes’ to professional formation within both fields.
