      abstract = {This book addresses the questions of what constitutes the  integrative learning of theory and practice (ILTP), and how  this learning progresses over time - these are important  questions that have been overlooked to date. It introduces  a new way of looking at the theory-practice integration and  presents the conceptual and empirical research that has led  to such a view. The conceptualisation of the ILTP and the  description of the phenomenon of integration draw on  psychological aspects of epistemological beliefs in TVET,  and on philosophical aspects of social reasoning. In this  inferentialist, non-dualistic epistemological perspective,  theory and practice are distinguished in terms of their use  in reasoning, rather than as intrinsically different forms  of knowledge. In particular, the integrative learning is  presented in terms of qualitative changes in chains of  reasoning that connect theoretical and practical  considerations. This work represents a contribution to  further educational research, as it advances a novel  operationalisation of the inferentialist framework.  Finally, this work contributes to educational practice, as  it offers evidence-based guidelines for practitioners  concerned with instructional design in T-VET. The reported  empirical investigations involved in-depth qualitative  research methods and were conducted at a micro-level of  instruction in alternating school-based and work-based  programmes, in the field of Chemicals Processing Technology  (CPT).},
