Apprenticeship as a model for learning in and through professional practice

Geoffrey Gowlland

pp. 759-779

Beyond the institution of apprenticeship, most strongly associated with Medieval guilds, apprenticeship can represent a powerful model to think about learning. Through a discussion of some of the most influential theories on apprenticeship learning in the social sciences, this chapter aims to find ways to think about apprenticeship in its complexity and diversity as a mode of learning, and specifically in relation to professional learning.
