Abstract
Through a series of semi-structured interviews conducted in Australia, as part of another project, this paper investigates the degree to which changes in teaching and learning practices are actually introduced into the classroom by teachers who have been on an industry placement. As an industry placement is a form of situated learning in a workplace context [2], the discussion is framed around Wenger’s (1998) three dimension of learning within a community of practice: Joint Enterprise, Mutual Engagement and Shared Repertoire of Knowledge [3]. The paper reports that there are significant institutional barriers in the implementation of changes in teaching and learning practices post an industry placement experience.
