Summary

This article provides a construct to monitor and analyse students' personal knowledge development: 'personal professional theory' (PPT). It aims to investigate the development of the content and nature of students' PPTs and their perceptions of learning processes in vocational education during school-based learning and workplace learning. The conclusion based on this study is that the development of students' PPTs involves knowledge compilation as well as thematic turbulence.
