Abstract

This chapter explores the findings from a comparative study of Practice Educators’ experiences of working with struggling and/or failing students in Italy and England. The chapter thus explores the comparative study undertaken and the findings, which are centred around three key themes: emotions and feelings, emotional processes and relational processes. We then consider the possible reasons for the differences that emerged from the findings of UK and Italian practice educators; locating these differences largely in the differential statuses of the profession in each respective country and their assessment requirements.
