Modelling the Invisible: The Pedagogy of Craft Apprenticeship.

Gamble, Jeanne

Studies in Continuing Education, v23 n2 p185-200 Nov 2001

Tacit transmission of knowledge and nonverbal modeling are the essence of apprenticeship, which is at odds with the current construction of skill learning as acquisition rather than transmission.
