This module provides a historical, philosophical and sociological background to the professions and analyses the issues raised for all professional, inter-professional and trans-professional activities in a period where there is increasing emphasis on education and on accountability. In addition to opening up generic issues prevalent in contemporary professional life such as professional learning, the course brings a core of current research in the area by utilising the insights of a number of sociocultural theories to explore issues of professional and organisational development and change. There is also consideration of pedagogical approaches for the education of professions within higher education and the workplace. It does not presuppose any prior specialist knowledge.
