N2 - Current research focuses on competence development and complex professional tasks.
However, learning processes towards the integration of knowledge, skills and attitudes
largely remain a blackbox.This article conceptualises three integration processes,in anal-
ogy to theories on transfer.Knowledge,skills and attitudes are defined, reconciling different
research perspectives.Low-roadintegration is hypothesised to occur through practice
towards automatisation.High-road integration requires reflection on the task besides prac-
tice. Transformative integration requires critical(self)reflection and openness to change. A
model of different professional tasks is presented, offering hypotheses regarding different
integration processes,which provides a basis for further empirical research.
