Cost, Value and Quality in Professional Learning: promoting economic literacy in medical and teacher education

About the research

In this commission we will invite a series of ‘expert witnesses’, representing a range of perspectives, to contribute to the interrogation of the types of evidence used in the evaluation of the relationship between the cost of provision for professional learning and impact on the value and quality of education. The overarching theme will be addressed in two intersecting contexts: the interface of education with economics, and between teacher education and medical education.
