Scope: Learning and Teaching is a peer-reviewed publication of Otago Polytechnic/Te Kura Matatini ki Otago, Dunedin, New Zealand. This year there will be a special issue under the auspices of Capable NZ with the theme of Professional Practice. This issue will focus on contemporary research in the post-discipline field of work-based learning and professional practice. It is concerned with views and critical debates surrounding issues of practice, theory, history and their relationships as manifested through the experiences of researchers and practitioners in work based learning and professional practice. The focus of the inaugural issue will be transformation, and contributors will be encouraged to explore the boundaries of the changes taking place both in the development of professional frameworks of practice and in this dynamic environment.

The deadline for submissions is 29 June 2018. The journal is peer reviewed, and each contribution is blind reviewed by 3 people.  Contributions may be quite brief – two to three pages – or longer articles.
