Abstract | This thesis reports a study concerning a professional education program and involving 61 members of a cohort of nursing students and 13 nursing academic staff members The theoretical framework that informed the study engaged with complementary constructs of learning and development from a sociocultural perspective, and professional education, as understood through the thinking, respectively, of Lev Vygotsky (1978) and his followers, and Lee Shulman (2005) and his colleagues. The methodological approach deployed phenomenological case study research - a fusion of hermeneutic phenomenology and case study methodologies, specifically conceived for this investigation. Visual, written, spoken and observed data were analysed using an approach called a phenomenological case study data analysis spiral, also purposely The thesis explicated the social conditions needed and the distinctive characteristics of learning contexts that shaped and facilitated the students’ learning of professionally valued understandings, skills and dispositions. Four interrelated themes were revealed in The thesis presented a sociocultural view of preparing for professional practice that may be used to develop further the process of engaging in professional practice |
