Expertise-by-Experience in Child and Family Services : Professionals' Perspectives on Experiential Knowledge

2022

This study analyses child and family service professionals' perceptions of expertise-by-experience. Group and individual interviews with professionals were analysed.

The results support the call for a critical appraisal of experiential knowledge. The increasing demand for experiential knowledge mean…

Diverse histories, common ground and a shared future:the education of career guidance and counselling professionals in the Nordic countries

The development of education programmes in career guidance and counseling (CGC) has followed different paths among the various Nordic countries.

However, there is greater focus in some programmes on developing competences for individual career guidance, than on developing competences for working at organisational and societal levels. Implications for the cooperation and professionalisation of CGC within the Nordic countries are discussed as well as limitations of the NICE model. Keywo…
