Exploring professional development perceptions among health and social care educators: A cross-sectional study with cluster analysis
The results show that health and social care educators are diverse learners. It's important to consider their individual characteristics, like education and work field, when planning professional development. In addition, the findings enhance the support for continuous learning from educators' superiors. Through this knowledge, organizations can consider factors beyond learning needs when planning professional development.
