Manifestations of professional identity work: an integrative review of research in professional identity formation
本文整合综述了77篇实证文章，归纳出专业身份工作的四种类型，帮助教育者理解学生如何从个人转向专业身份，并支持其身份形成。
Professional identity formation (PIF) is an integral part of educating professionals.A well-formed professional identity helps individuals to develop a meaningful professional self-understanding that facilitates their transition to and sustainability in professional work.Although professional identity and its formation are well theorized, it is largely unclear how the underpinning interpretive process of professional identity work leads to observable changes in thoughts, feelings and behaviours, and how these insights can be used in educational practice.To address this gap, we conducted an integrative review of 77 empirical articles on professional identity formation and inductively developed a four-fold typology of professional identity work, through which individuals reportedly make the shift from individual to professional.The theoretical contribution of this article is a more nuanced understanding of the practical manifestations of professional identity work.As a practical contribution, the typology may be used as a heuristic through which educators of professionals can support their students' professional identity formation, particularly where this is halted or complicated by obstructions.
