Learning practical workplace-based judgement through using cognitive apprenticeship and occupational identity formation models

Author: Chan, Selena

Abstract:

This paper provides examples from applied research studies of apprentices learning baking and welding towards utilizing connections between conceptualizing of vocational identity formation and appropriate methods of feedback supported by the cognitive apprenticeship model. Learning to become trade workers requires consolidation and application of 'judgement'. Aspects of learning judgement may be enhanced by receiving and acting on appropriate feedback.
