Kohærens og professionel identitet

Abstract

It is a persistent challenge for professional education programs to create meaningful connections, where the knowledge content, as a premise, is heterogeneous and draws on different scientific disciplines. Based on the concept of coherence, the article discusses how professional education programs can enhance students' professional development by working with educational coherence. The perspective of the article is that the complexity of professional education programs cannot or should not be eliminated; instead, the education should bring the differences into respectful interaction and thereby support the students' own creation and experience of meaningful but contradictory connections.
