Abstract: | This qualitative study of 33 part-time teachers from several U.K. universities suggests that their involvement in higher education should be considered from a fresh perspective. Modern research on professional learning is increasingly pointing to the view that professional formation is an ecological process that is insufficiently served by the formal provision of learning opportunities. The ecological perspective, emphasizing the part played by the everyday workplace in professional formation, provides a challenge to leaders and managers as to the development and implementation of institutional policy and practice. |
