This volume provides alternatives for tackling existing empirical, methodological, and analytical challenges. It does so by providing a broad overview of less established, as well as emerging methods, which are of great relevance for current research on professional learning and development. As such, it offers a comprehensive collection of state-of-the-art methodologies and future directions within the workplace learning and professional development research. By describing these novel approaches and providing empirical illustrations, the book promotes innovative methodologies for investigating professional learning and development. It also supports scholars to understand upcoming empirical research and methods and encourages novice as well as established researchers to adopt new empirical strategies beyond traditional ones that have the potential to enrich a better understanding of professional learning and development.

While she has conducted several mixed methods studies, Crina’s research primarily adopts a qualitative methodology, including varied analytical approaches, designs and interpretative frameworks. Both exploratory ethnographies and longitudinal video observation research, and formative intervention studies, using a design-based methodology, are represented in her work. Currently, she is initiating research employing event sampling methods and multimodal learning, aiming to capture learning activities across digital and physical contexts.
