Abstract
This study examined the extant higher education literature on the development of
professional identities. Through a systematic review approach 20 articles were
identified that discussed in some way professional identity development in higher
education journals. These articles drew on varied theories, pedagogies and learning
strategies; however, most did not make a strong connection to professional
identities. Further research is needed to better understand the tensions between
personal and professional values, structural and power influences, discipline versus
generic education, and the role of workplace learning on professional identities.
