ABSTRACT
Experts overseeing their trade or craft system where experienced and confirmed experts in a field or craft hired new employees who began as apprentices and received their education or training in exchange for food, lodging, and, of course, work. Most children learn in schools, with the teacher replacing the master craftsman, though some schools and professions still make use of at least part of this approach. An example of this is the vocational high school or even medical colleges where students spend a part of the week in the workplace or longer periods as interns there. Also, learning materials and assignments are more abstract and independent of the context in which they’ll ultimately be used. Since teaching and learning take place in schools and not in the real world with real tasks, the model of traditional apprenticeship needs to be translated to cognitive apprenticeship for several reasons.
