Vocational Knowledge and Its Specification.
Stevenson, John
Journal of Vocational Education & Training, v53 n4 p647-62 2001
Identifies problems in codifying vocational knowledge, including inappropriate dualisms such as theoretical versus practical and omission of important tacit knowledge. Outlines Polanyi's ideas about tacit knowledge and presents a knowledge taxonomy as a possible strategy for codification and advocates a holistic teaching approach. (Contains 52 references.) (SK)
