Learning and Teaching Practical Skills: As seen on TV: Further Education
Autor Andrew Armitage, Harriet Harperen Limba Engleză Paperback – 6 mai 2024
Destinat profesorilor din învățământul post-liceal, formatorilor și celor care parcurg stagii de ucenicie în educație, acest volum propune o metodă de instruire pe cât de neconvențională, pe atât de pragmatică. Ne-a atras atenția modul în care Andrew Armitage și Harriet Harper reușesc să transforme cultura populară într-un instrument pedagogic riguros. Observăm că, deși pornește de la formate TV aparent lejere, precum Masterchef sau Strictly Come Dancing, textul fundamentează teoretic procese complexe: observația, demonstrația, exercițiul practic și feedback-ul formativ.
Merită menționat că structura cărții urmărește fidel parcursul unei calificări profesionale, trecând de la fundamentele învățării și predării (Capitolele 2 și 3) la aspecte critice precum incluziunea, diversitatea și educația pentru dezvoltare durabilă. Cititorii familiarizați cu Teaching in Further Education de Susan Wallace vor aprecia aici înlocuirea scenariilor ficționale cu studii de caz din viața reală, „mediată” de televiziune, ceea ce facilitează o conexiune rapidă între teorie și practica de la clasă.
În contextul operei sale, Andrew Armitage continuă să exploreze sectorul educației vocaționale, completând temele abordate în The New Apprenticeships sau Assessment in FE. Dacă lucrările anterioare se concentrau pe mecanismele de evaluare și structura uceniciilor, Learning and Teaching Practical Skills aduce o prospețime necesară prin integrarea elementelor de psihologie a învățării aplicate pe abilități practice concrete — de la gătit și cusut, până la olărit.

Descriere scurtă
The book uses examples from famous reality TV shows to reflect on how people learn practical skills such as baking, dancing, ice skating, sewing and pottery. Discussing everyday examples from TV with which readers may be familiar provides an innovative and engaging starting point to explore all aspects of teaching and learning a skill - including observation, demonstration, practice, feedback and assessment.
It encourages readers to think about TV shows such as Masterchef, Bake Off and Strictly Come Dancing from the point of view of the teacher. The unique mix of seemingly low-brow popular culture combined with serious pedagogy offers key insights for learning and teaching, including critical discussion of topics such as inclusion and the value of formative feedback. Teachers and trainers will develop their own knowledge and skills to support the practical skills development of their students.

Recenzii
It provides an effective – and at the same time entertaining – way in to discussions of key issues and theoretical models. The novelty of this approach is bound to be a powerful motivating factor in the learning of teachers themselves, while at the same time modelling for them the importance of building familiar starting points and enjoyment into their own planning and practice.
Susan Wallace, Professor Emerita, Nottingham Trent University This text is a unique, and quirky, blend of learning and teaching and the rise of reality TV shows. Regardless of the reader’s feelings about reality TV, there is no escaping the link between the programme and its contestants and the learner in the FE and Skills classroom. The examples of how people learn, and the benefits of real-world learning are cleverly interwoven into the text with snippets from some of the post popular programmes on TV.
Any trainee teacher, or indeed any teacher, cannot fail to see the connection and use some of the suggestions to enhance their own practice. An engaging read.
Dr Lynn Senior, Consortium Director University of Huddersfield Another ITE textbook? This not just ‘another’ book, it’s the first of its kind. The one real standout feature of the book is the use of comparisons to TV shows. This innovative approach allows trainees to connect with some challenging and abstract concepts in concrete terms – and they can then always look to YouTube for clips of the shows....
What a super book - comprehensive coverage, practical approaches, and meaningful application. A must-have text for trainee teachers, subject mentors, and ITE teachers alike.
Dr Clare Winder Initial Teacher Education University of Central Lancashire Skills competitions are a major feature of TV schedules with many very popular and long-running shows. They speak to our interest in seeing people develop their skill and confidence through practice and hard work, often against the odds. We love to follow the challenges faced by participants as well as their joy and satisfaction as they master a craft. Sharing other people's learning journeys can help us understand how we learn as well as inspiring and motivating us.
This highly original book from Harriet Harper and Andy Armitage draws on TV skills shows to provide useful practical advice for teachers on how to develop their students' skills, confidence, mastery and fluency. It will be an excellent resource for any teacher seeking to improve their professional practice.
Eddie Playfair Senior Policy Manager Association of Colleges I love the premise of this book: that TV programmes such as Strictly Come Dancing and the Great British Bake Off play a similar role to Further Education - they develop people’s skills. The authors draw on insightful examples from popular programmes like The Great British Sewing Bee and Dragon’s Den which focus on teaching and assessing skills. So simple and so powerful.
Unlike many books on teaching and learning in the FE and Skills sector, theoretical concepts are clearly explained as you read, so teachers, trainees and teacher educators could find themselves re-thinking the activities they design, the models they follow and the examples they use. There’s no separate chapter for 'theory', thank goodness. I so wish I'd had this book when I first started as a lecturer in the FE and Skills sector. It has made me think differently about my own teaching. And it's a joy to read.
Dr Rebecca Eliahoo, SFHEA WEA tutor The authors ask their readers, in the course of their book, to use (popular TV) programmes as their own teaching resources, to use them to reflect on their practice, as illustrations of educational theory, as examples of assessment or judgement (good or bad) or as examples of strategies or scenarios for planning teaching and learning. This innovative and lively training text enables them superbly to do all of the above.
Dr Alison Cogger Principal Lecturer Initial Teacher Education Canterbury Christ Church University The book would be a very useful introduction for Further Education Teachers studying a teaching qualification or simply wanting to find out more about the sector and their work. It is written in an engaging and readable style and is clearly informed by a great deal of experience in the sector.
The reference to reality TV programmes adds novelty value, and also helps to anchor the book in real-world experience. While these are U.K. programmes, they would be comprehensible to readers in any country.
