Findings represent an overview of pedagogic practices which are situationallyembedded in a variety of occupational domains. These pedagogic practices include both cognitions andactual behaviour of vocational communities, attempting to contribute to the development of novices.Cognitions represent knowledge and beliefs related to pedagogic practice (De Bruijn, 2012). Pedagogicbehaviour includes activities that are enacted in interaction with the novice, thereby offering a means forhow novices are supported to access practice (Billett, 2001).P R E L I M I N A RY  R E S U LT STen of the included articles, extracted from the database Cinahl, are analysed.Preliminary categories of pedagogic practices are determined by reading back andforward within and across these ten articles. This mainly deductive process is combinedwith the inductive use of pedagogic strategies as described by De Bruijn (2012). Thefigure shows how categories of pedagogic practices are clustered around four pedagogicstrategies: guiding, modelling, monitoring and coaching.R E F E R E N C E SBillett, S. (2001).

Thefigure on the left raises the question whether it could be suitable todistinguish dimensions to illustrate a variety of pedagogic practices?The already analyzed articles cover starting midwifes, athletic trainers andnurses. It seems interesting to do justice to a situational perspective byincluding contextual factors of occupations in the analysis of results.
