Abstract

This paper makes an original contribution to knowledge in making explicit the units of appraisal, standards of judgement and living logics of the explanations for educational influences in learning of professional practitioners, who are realising their responsibilities as global citizens. It offers an academic justification for professional practitioners, exploring the implications of asking, researching and answering questions of the kind, ‘How do I generate valid contributions to the growth of a global academic, intellectual and scholarly knowledgebase for the flourishing of Humanity?’; addresses differences in cultural values and influences around the world (Brown, 2021). These differences are acknowledged and integrated within original contributions to educational knowledge. These are exemplified by Living Educational Theory Research accounts, which have been academically legitimated by universities throughout the world; offers an original vision of professionalism that is values-led, through adopting a Living Educational Theory Research approach to continuing and continual professional development. The purpose served by the original contribution to knowledge is focused on living a worthwhile and productive life. In my case my purpose is to contribute to enhancing educational influences in learning with values of human flourishing. I want to know that I am making this contribution. Hence my focus on the validity of my claims to know.
