How many people does it take to change a light bulb? It's an old joke, you do not need to propose a bright spark. But electricians address a number of complex problems – all can help save our jobs and housing, and even life. Life without electricity is unthinkable – if it is to fix a boiler, the electrical system were flooded or guarantee your home is secure.
And now says new research from the University of Winchester, that more and an expert in a professionalLine of work – such as an electrician or plumber – claims the body and mind work together to develop knowledge and skills. The Center for Real-World Learning studied neuroscience and cognitive science to show that it is wrong to consider learning a simplified distinction between the values of science and practice. A mechanic of the assessment, how to fix an engine, for example, the same thought processes as a physician to use the classification of the disease in a patient.
TheCo-author of the report, Professor Bill Lucas, said that the kind of intelligence needed electricians and plumbers need the same qualities of science: curiosity, common sense, brains and determination. Learning by doing '', instead of reading it is a proven way to success in many practical professions. The report states that nurses and electricians will be as intelligent as commercial banks or professors.
The treatment of vocational training as intellectually inferior individualswho has taught at the university, the report said, no basis in science. The fact that more and more unemployed graduates are well trained and electricians and plumbers are university graduates earn more than proves that the decision is for the professional career a clever move. In order to become an expert in a selected area requires ingenuity and a spirit that can develop knowledge, understanding and skill. The authors of the report have to say a new framework of learning from their research, if people want to be developedare experts in their field they will need four habits of mind, which are: to investigative, experimental, thought and imagination. These habits have six frames of mind: curiosity, determination, imagination, sociability, reflection and wisdom. Professor Guy Claxton said there was a connection, the mind and body when it came to learning a skill. He said: "It is no coincidence that philosophers often think better and actors learn their lines better when they are paceabout. "
