Abstract

PurposeDue to the global outbreak of Covid-19, Swedish teachers in upper secondary education were forced to conduct emergency remote teaching. As of today, there is a stream of research that addresses digitalization in education in light of the pandemic. Previous studies show that the challenges with the sudden intensification of digitalization have been particularly challenging in practical and aesthetic subjects. The research question is as follows: What challenges did vocational teachers experience during the emergency remote teaching caused by Covid-19 and what emergent tactics can be identified in vocational teaching practice?Design/methodology/approachThe empirical data consists of (1) interviews with two vocational teachers and, (2) workshops with 25 teacher students from different vocational programmes that addressed vocational teaching during the Covid-19 crisis.FindingsEmergency remote teaching meant challenges due to the changed socio-material environment that cannot easily be transformed to a vocational teaching setting. The challenges were related to authentic situations and material, problem solving and dexterity. Tactics that emerged as a response to the challenges were mainly connected to attempts to mimic vocational practices.Originality/valueContributions include explaining specific challenges and possibilities in developing vocational competence when teaching is digitalised. Furthermore, it increases the understanding of the relationship between theory and practice in vocational education. By adopting a socio-material perspective on vocational competence, the authors enhance the understanding of the importance of a shared socio-material environment.
穿着睡衣教职业学生:从社会物质角度看Covid-19时代的挑战
目的由于新冠肺炎的全球爆发,瑞典高中教育教师被迫进行紧急远程教学。截至今天,有一系列研究针对疫情下的教育数字化。先前的研究表明,数字化突然加剧的挑战在实践和美学学科中尤其具有挑战性。研究问题是:在新冠肺炎引发的紧急远程教学中,职业教师遇到了哪些挑战,在职业教学实践中可以确定哪些应急策略?设计/方法/方法实证数据包括(1)对两名职业教师的采访,以及(2)对来自不同职业课程的25名教师学生的研讨会,这些课程涉及新冠肺炎危机期间的职业教学。发现紧急远程教学意味着由于社会物质环境的变化而带来的挑战,无法轻易转变为职业教学环境。这些挑战涉及真实的情况和材料、解决问题和灵活性。为应对挑战而出现的策略主要与模仿职业实践的尝试有关。独创性/价值贡献包括解释数字化教学中培养职业能力的具体挑战和可能性。此外,它还加深了对职业教育理论与实践关系的理解。通过对职业能力采用社会物质视角,作者加深了对共享社会物质环境重要性的理解。
