dc.description.abstract | This chapter describes the research-based project, Critical Professionalism,
which gave rise to several of the chapters in this volume. We suggest
that the concept of critical professionalism, with its strong value orientation,
makes a foundational contribution to approaches to professional
development for teaching for the public good in South Africa and
other parts of the world. We use data generated from this project to tease out
some of the characteristics of critical professionals, as well as some of the key
ingredients necessary to support the emergence of academics as critical professionals.
We begin by setting the scene for the study and explaining why, in
the present era, academics’ sense of agency, criticality and professionalism
might be threatened – to a fair degree by the rise of the audit culture and a
strong managerial and prescriptive approach to steering the direction of
higher education. | en_US |
