I can assure you that all of your actions are controlled by your philosophy. The answer to this question should be very obvious to anyone who is teaching in career-technical education. The entire premise for our teaching in career-technical education is based on actual occupational experience. The occupational experience which we bring into teaching is production based. In other words, while we toiled in the occupation we had to make production or else we wouldn't have had the job.
Teaching is a completely different type of occupation.
We bring to the teaching arena the psychomotor type of skill rather than the cognitive and affective skills. It is much, much easier to teach and evaluate a psychomotor skill than the other two skills. In industry, we were product oriented and now, in our adult life, we have to become process oriented. We need to teach the concepts and processes so the students will be able to apply the concept to the uniqueness of the occupation in which he or she enters. Hopefully you understand what the preceding paragraph means.
