This book gathers work from over a decade of study, and seeks to
better understand and support how learners become tradespeople. The
research programme applies recent concepts from neuroscience,
educational psychology and technology-enhanced learning to explain
and help overcome the challenges of learning in trades-learning
contexts. Due to the complex and multifarious nature of the work
characterising trade occupations, learning how to become a
tradesperson requires a significant commitment in terms of time,
along with physical and cognitive effort. All modalities (visual,
aural, haptic etc.) and literacies (text, numerical, spatial etc.)
are required when undertaking trade work. Manual dexterity and
strength, coupled with the technical and tacit knowledge required
for complex problem solving, not to mention suitable dispositional
approaches, must all be learnt and focused on becoming a
tradesperson. However, there is a substantial gap in the literature
on 'how people learn a trade' and 'how to teach a trade'. In this
book, contemporary teaching and learning approaches and strategies,
as derived through practice-based participatory research, are used
to highlight and discuss pragmatic solutions to facilitate the
learning and teaching of trade skills, knowledge and dispositions.
The approaches and strategies discussed include the implementation
of technology-enhanced learning; project-based
inquiry/problem-based learning; and recommendations to ensure
learners are prepared for the future of work.
