Abstract

What is the purpose of higher learning and the ideals of the university? What traits characterize the habitus of the profession that the students enter after completing their studies? Including such Bildung-perspectives (Gadamer) and profession-perspectives (Bourdieu) makes it possible to arrive at a deeper understanding of the workings and potential of Problem-Based Learning, and of
the demands that this educational philosophy places on the institution, supervisors, and students. Through case studies it is demonstrated that project work contributes to psychology students’ embodiment of the habits of the profession by setting processes of formation free, creative mimesis (Kemp), and peer-support.
