Rediscovering the Importance of Learning and Curriculum in Vocational Education and Training in Australia.
Cornford, Ian R.
Journal of Vocational Education and Training: The Vocational Aspect of Education, v51 n1 p93-113 1999

Many vocational teachers lack sufficient background in psychology for successful implementation. Good curriculum documents can help by incorporating key research on skill learning, transfer, expertise, and lifelong learning. (SK)
