Knowledge Development in Internship

A Case-study of Students’ Access to Tacit and Explicit Knowledge in Blended Learning (BL) Programmes

  • Chapter
Working and Learning in Times of Uncertainty

Part of the book series: Research on the Education and Learning of Adults ((ESRE))

Abstract

Knowledge in workplaces and within the professions is often described as procedural, processual (Guzman, 2009) and organisation-specific, or as know-how which tends to be used tacitly (Polanyi, 1966). Frequently, reference is made to theoretical perspectives on how professionals develop competencies (Benner, 1984; Dreyfus & Dreyfus, 1991) and how they think in actions (Schön, 1983).
