Teaching and Learning Practical Embodied Knowledge
Abstract [sv]
Sweden has a long tradition of research into practical knowledge and ?tacit knowledge?. A rapidly growing field within international educational research is ?body pedagogics,? which gathers leading researchers in sociology, psychology and pedagogy interested in the embodiment of knowledge. Interestingly, embodiment and practical knowledge have been largely neglected by didactical research focusing on the relationship between teaching and learning. Therefore, the purpose of this project is to investigate the learning of practical knowledge in the practical school subjects of sloyd and physical education and health, with a specific focus on the learning content ? what is learned when learning practical embodied knowledge and what kind of ?factors? influence the learning. Here we are especially interested in the role of the teacher for students? learning. Fortunately, some relevant didactic research does exist, especially within these two subjects. This research, together with that on the highly relevant areas of body pedagogics, mobility and meaning making, and the empirical results of the project will be used to initiate a common didactic language that can be used in subjects where practical knowledge is crucial. The results of this research will then be transformed into in-service materials and tested by practising teachers in order to evaluate their potential for helping teachers to make important didactical choices when planning and realising their teaching.
