Folk crafts as a basis of pupils classroom guidance respectively fields of study at secondary vocational schools

Abstract

In this article we define the notion of craft, and briefly describe its historical development. Attention is also devoted to secondary vocational education, emphasizing the need for the labour market and the needs of society. Subsequently we present a research project which aim is to design, develop and validate a multimedia teaching aid (the video film), through which we expect students achieve higher performance in cognitive areas, higher motivation for learning, higher interest in professional focus and improve the learning process in selected areas of the blacksmith and timber orientation.
