ABSTRACT
The strength of practice learning is the authenticity it can bring to the professional development of students, but the positives are counterbalanced by many long recognised challenges of the pedagogy and structures of learning in this environment. ‘There is a big difference between a lesson that is about the practice and takes place outside of it, and explanations and stories that are part of the practice and take place within it’ (Wenger, 1998, p. 100).
