The aim has been to improve practice in work-based learning by researching how the subject-based and work-based aspects of a curriculum or learning programme can articulate with one another more effectively in programmes such as Foundation Degrees, higher level NVQs, HNDs and non-accredited workforce upskilling. In a research field that has come to be dominated by the consideration of organisational arrangements and technical issues that accompany credit and quality assurance frameworks, questions of knowledge, teaching and learning have been relatively neglected. Through our use of the concept of recontextualisation, we have introduced fresh thinking that can find ways into longstanding and seemingly intractable problems.
