Showing abstract in English
English: This article focuses on how an adventure programme can be used to address professional
development in general, and specifically the professional identity of postgraduate
psychology students. The literature study focuses on didactic instruction as well
as experiential learning and adventure-based experiential learning. The study was
undertaken from a narrative position and narrative analysis was done of postgraduate
psychology students’ narratives. From the narrative analysis it would seem that the
adventure programme created unique outcomes for the students, as their narratives
changed from narratives with an individualist character to narratives with more
collective tendencies as the adventure programme unfolded.
