Young people as teachers and learners in the workplace: challenging the novice-expert dichotomy

Author: Fuller, Alison; Unwin, Lorna

Abstract:

Conventionally, apprenticeship is understood as a linear journey from novice to expert in which 'old-timers' mould their successors. This paper challenges the assumptions that expertise is equated solely with status and experience in the workplace, and that all novices and experts, regardless of context, are seen as the same.
