Abstract
The concluding chapter of this book challenges the reader to engage with the ‘hot topics’ and ‘wicked problems’ presented throughout the chapters on the topic of educational learning and development and the potential for capacity-building for both educators and learners. The new perspectives generated by interrogation of this topic enable the reader to move beyond the accepted conceptualisation of educational learning and development and encourage them to consider new ways of thinking about and engaging with this area. This engagement should allow practitioners, policy-makers and researchers working in the area of education to identify and make personal and professional connections which can potentially transform the area of educational learning and development.
