Abstract
Purpose– Apprenticeships are now usually seen as a model of education focused on occupational preparation, albeit manifested in different ways across nation states. However, throughout human history, the majority of occupational preparation has been premised upon apprenticeship as a mode of learning. That is, a preparation arising mainly through apprentices’ active and interdependent engagement in their work, rather than being taught or directly guided by more experienced practitioners. The paper aims to discuss these issues.Design/methodology/approach– A review of literature.Findings– A way of considering apprenticeship as a mode of learning as well as a model of education.Research limitations/implications– Three elements of considering and supporting apprenticeship as a mode of learning.Practical implications– Practice curriculum, practice pedagogies and personal epistemology.Social implications– A way of considering apprenticeship as a mode of learning as well as a model of education.Originality/value– A way of considering apprenticeship as a mode of learning as well as a model of education.
