tandfonline.com – Introducing the object of learning in interaction: vocational teaching and learning in a plumbing workshop session

tandfonline.com har udgivet en rapport under søgningen “Teacher Education Mathematics”: ABSTRACT ABSTRACT In vocational education, the learning content is often considered as concrete and specific, and the vocational learning involves physical work and interactions between participants and artefacts. Furthermore, one teacher has the overall responsibility for several students during classes in the vocational workshop at school, which means that the teacher has limited time for every single student and that the few minutes they meet become very important.

In this study, we focus on how the enacted object of learning and its critical aspects are made relevant, when a… Continue Reading
