À propos de cette revue

Praxis: The Work-Based Learning Journal is a bi-monthly, peer-reviewed, open-access publication dedicated to advancing Work-Based Learning (WBL) as a transdisciplinary field of study and system of recognition. Published by the Council Advancing Work-Based Learning (CAWBL), Praxis explores the epistemology, ontology, and reflective practices that shape WBL as a global learning commons.

The journal is structured around three foundational tenets of WBL:

  • Recognition of Prior Learning (RPL)

  • Competency-Based Education (CBE)

  • Heutagogical Practice

Each fiscal year includes three core issues and three themed special editions dedicated to these tenets. Contributions may include empirical research, practitioner inquiry, system design artifacts, policy reflection, interviews, and field-based evaluations. The journal welcomes work from credentialed professionals, researchers, institutional partners, and contributors in both formal and informal settings.
