Book synopsis

This book takes a fresh look at professional practice and§professional education. In times of increased managerialism of academic§teaching and a focus on graduate learning outcomes, it discusses possibilities§to teach and learn otherwise. A deliberate professional is someone who§consciously, thoughtfully and courageously makes choices about how to act and§be in the practice world. A pedagogy of deliberateness is introduced that§focuses on developing the following four characteristics of professionals: (1)§deliberating on the complexity of practice and workplace cultures and§environments; (2) understanding what is probable, possible and impossible in§relation to existing and changing practices; (3) taking a deliberate stance in§positioning oneself in practice as well as in making technical decisions; and§(4) being aware of and responsible for the consequences of actions taken or§actions not taken in relation to the 'doing', 'saying', 'knowing' and§'relating' in practice.§Educating the deliberate professional is a comprehensive§volume that carves out and explores a framework for a pedagogy of§deliberateness that goes beyond educating reflective and deliberative§practitioners. As a whole, this book argues for the importance of educating§deliberate professionals, because, in the current higher education climate,§there is a need to reconcile critique (thinking), participation (doing) and§moral responsibility (relating to others) in professional practice and§professional education.§§
