CHAPTER 2: THE MANY WAYS OF KNOWING CAREER DEVELOPMENT: A GLOBAL PERSPECTIVE

In resolving these three questions, Hartman stated that "there are many truths and there are many ways of knowing" (1990, p. 3) as "there are indeed many ways of knowing and many kinds of knowers" (1990, p. 4). Since this section is a collection of scholars from around the globe, your job as the reader of the knowledge presented within this section is to consider the truths found within, the ways these truths have come to be known, and to what kind of knower they apply. [...]it is equally important that you examine yourself as well, so that you can both question your assumptions and turn your own critical eye towards these data. The article Career Development Theory A Solution for Urbanization: An Examination of Career Development Processes in Developing Countries through CIP Theory by Brookens, Verma, and Orijoke takes the reader on a journey across the continent of Africa and beyond by presenting current structures, practices, and future considerations in Nigeria, India, and Uganda using cognitive information processing theory as an organizational schema. [...]we have four dynamic and meaningful scholarly contributions in this section that requires the reader to consider them in the context of their scope, salience, and inclusiveness.
