Practice development is practitioner development
نویسنده
چکیده
I can see no reason or justification whatsoever for academics in a practice-based discipline other than the development of practice. And I hope to show this morning that this does not mean teaching. For me, practice development has nothing to do with the mug and jug theory of education you know, the students are the mugs and I come along with my jug of knowledge and top them up. This has also been called the 'top down' or shower model of education. I want to argue that practice development requires a 'bottom up', or what I like to think of as a 'bidet' model.
