Abstract

This book presents an evidence-informed pedagogical approach to embed Personal and Professional Development (PPD) in education. Grounded in theories such as Professional Identity Formation (PIF), socialisation, subjectification, and boundary crossing, it offers a structured methodology to cultivate a reflective attitude in future professionals. The book provides practical guidance for educators, curriculum developers, and institutions seeking to integrate PPD into their programs, with a focus on critical reflection and experiential learning.
