An ambitious book with a number of excellent chapters. It will
stand out in the broad field of vocational education and training
for its strong basis in the research literature. Professor Michael
Young, London Institute of Education Developing Vocational
Expertise offers a systematic foundation for vocational education
and training. Drawing on current research, it provides a
theoretical basis for teachers and trainers to develop
instructional strategies. The contributors emphasise the importance
of considering learning in context. They examine the core areas of
literacy, numeracy, information literacy, problem-solving and
creativity, as well as newer areas of instruction: flexible
learning and guided learning. Each chapter takes a structured
approach to developing core sets of knowledge and skills for work.
Within each area of expertise, recent theoretical and research
developments are outlined, and the implications for curriculum
development, teaching and learning are explained. Teachers and
trainers are encouraged to select an appropriate combination of
approaches to suit the particular needs of their students and
circumstances. Developing Vocational Expertise is an essential
resource for students in vocational and occupational education, and
will also interest technical and further education teachers and
industry trainers.
