Informal Learning, Practitioner Inquiry, and Occupational Education delve into the intricate relationship between work and learning, shedding light on the practices of practitioners across diverse occupations. By drawing from theories encompassing informal, formal, and lifelong learning environments, the book offers valuable insights into how workers navigate and negotiate their occupational practices.

The book explores four interconnected concepts: informal learning, practitioner inquiry, occupational education, and epistemological perspectives. Through the integration of theories and empirical case studies, it establishes a conceptual framework of inquiry that emphasizes the importance of knowledge, abilities, experiences, and skill sets in understanding professional practices.

Presented within the book are 11 captivating case studies that span a range of professions, including traditional roles such as acting, detective work, international road transportation, as well as emerging professions like boardroom consultancy, nutritional therapy, and opinion leadership. These case studies provide a rich tapestry of insights into the diverse world of work and learning.

This book holds immense appeal for academics, scholars, and postgraduate students engaged in the study of informal education, vocational education, and occupation-related programs. It offers valuable perspectives for education practitioners seeking to deepen their understanding of their own journeys and practices. By delving into the complexities of work and learning, this book contributes to a broader understanding of the educational landscape and its impact on individuals and society.
