Abstract:
:For many years the profession has acknowledged a schism between theories taught in the classroom and the practice of clinicians. This tends to arise from beliefs that knowledge which has been generalized (formalized) can be readily transferred to informal settings (practice). Whilst apprehension of formalized knowledge is crucial to professional development, a mediator is necessary to demonstrate its relevance to practice. A variety of solutions have been offered which all have value but without effective social support fail to resolve the problem. Findings from a longitudinal study investigating the professional development of pre-registration nursing students indicate the importance of sponsorship by a member of clinical staff and participation in legitimate peripheral activities. In the absence of effective sponsorship, students found it difficult to participate in clinical activities or to learn. As a result, their professional development during placements became stunted with subsequent implications for their professional future. Questions concerned with this phenomena were explored using documentary evidence supplied by research participants, observations of their practice and focused interviews throughout their programme. Sociocultural or activity theories of human learning offer some attractive explanations. One strategy is scaffolding which takes place within sponsored nursing activities and builds on the important concept of the Zone of Proximal Development (ZPD), where speech becomes a tool to mediate learning and development. As a diagnostic tool, scaffolding enables both supervisor and learner to recognize knowledge-in-waiting and knowledge-in-use and hence learning need, thus stimulating opportunities for further learning and professional development beneficial to both learner and supervisor. It provides a means for theory and practice to become integrated.
