T. Tuomi-Gröhn & Y. Engeström (Eds.) 2003. Between school and work: New perspectives on transfer and boundary crossing. Amsterdam: Pergamon.

The book opens up new theoretical perspectives and practical possibilities to analyse the learning opportunities emerging in the transitional zones between educational institutions and workplaces. The contributors draw on a range of ideas developed within constructivistic, socio-cultural and activity theory and focus in different ways on the processes of transition, transfer and boundary crossing as central to learning, especially in vocational and professional education contexts.
