The Return of Practice to Higher Education: Resolution of a Paradox

Joseph A. Raelin

EconStor Open Access Articles and Book Chapters, 2007, vol. 56, issue 1, 57-77

Abstract: Although academic provision has become associated with professional education, knowledge is delivered through standard classroom methodology associated with liberal arts education. Elsewhere, a "practice turn" has elevated experience as a basis for knowledge. This article shows how practice became detached from theory and how through praxis they can be reintegrated.
