Abstract

Teaching philosophies as applied to career and technical education are more complex than teaching philosophies studied for a liberal arts teacher. Adult learners present challenges not often encountered by elementary or secondary teachers. Contact with the world of work presents teachers with the paradox of preparing young people directly for work but maintaining a nurturing classroom environment. This challenge often requires unique and innovative solutions to the educational problem presented by adult learners. This chapter presents philosophical approaches the career and technical education teacher can use in the classroom or laboratory.
