Abstract
This book draws together the writings of experts from the fields of learning theory, knowledge development and education and training who have either worked on the development of the concept of work process knowledge or have drawn inspiration from it.
The chapter about 'The role of metaphors in acquiring and transmitting knowledge' has attempted to show that metaphor analysis is a method of linguistic analysis that is well suited to capturing central aspects of work process knowledge. It is also well suited to tracking down the underlying cognitive processes in representing experience and implicit actor perspectives.
