Professional Socialisation

Abstract

Before we can talk about how a person becomes a member of a profession we need to understand what is meant by four key terms: professional, professionalism, profession and professional practice (see Figure 8.1). These comprise the goals and expected outcomes of the socialisation process. At its most positive and widely beneficial, the goal of professional socialisation is to develop and shape capable and accountable members (of professions) who contribute constructively to the services provided to society by these professions and who contribute to the foundations, growth, critique and health of the professions (as in healthy learning organisations).
