Why is education so structured? : 

Why is education so structured? Based on the ‘scientific’ principles with focus on understanding, not application (as application MUST change as times changes, while understanding is ongoing!) However WITHOUT application, understanding is nearly impossible – becomes memorization! System perpetuated by ‘academic researchers’ who look down on ‘practitioners’ Readily accepted by young students who are ‘taught’ and rewarded (unintentionally!) for memory and retention, NOT application

Defining carpentry tools : 

Defining carpentry tools Saw: Any of various tools, either hand-operated or power-driven, having a thin metal blade or disk with a sharp, usually toothed edge, used for cutting wood, metal, or other hard materials. Chisel: A metal tool with a sharp beveled edge, used to cut and shape stone, wood, or metal. Planer: One that planes, especially a machine tool that is used to smooth or finish the surfaces of wood or metal. Hammer: A hand tool that has a handle with a perpendicularly attached head of metal or other heavy rigid material, and is used for striking or pounding.

An interesting ‘research’ study : 

An interesting ‘research’ study Studies in Continuing Education. 23(2).2001   Modelling the Invisible: the pedagogy of craft apprenticeship Jeanne Gamble Abstract: While conventional wisdom has long held that skill is transmitted through modelling and practical example, the traditional "master"-apprentice relationship represents a mode of pedagogy that is no longer deemed viable in modern workplaces where continuous change is the norm. The paper reports on data obtained from observation of formal apprenticeships in cabinet making, an old traditional craft. Following Michael Polanyi and Basil Bernstein, the structure of craft knowledge is examined in order to understand why tacit pedagogic transmission constitutes the essence of apprenticeship and how the asymmetrical relation between master and apprentice provides the basis of tacit pedagogy.

Today’s Workplace & Manager : 

Today’s Workplace & Manager Uncertain and ambiguous conditions Managers need to motivate team members to work towards a constantly changing and unknown outcome, armed with incomplete knowledge and limited resources – under tremendous time and performance pressures! A job well done is ‘just doing your job’, however EVERY mistake is the manager’s shortcoming!

My intentions… : 

My intentions… Explain and acclimatize to the concepts (awareness/understanding) ‘Force’ you to use these concepts to current business situations (application/analysis) Introduce an element of ambiguity and time pressure. Practice dealing with stress! DOING is LEARNING! - Learning is not a passive memorization system, its an active inquisitive process. - Making mistakes and taking chances are crucial to the learning process!
