Symposium
Contribution
This paper focuses vocational literacy in Swedish upper secondary education within two programmes, both focusing textile materials. The issue for this paper is to illuminate what students in these two programmes were expected to read and write in two textile related upper secondary school programmes. Theoretical resources are New literacy Studies (mapping literacy events), socio-cultural theories of learning, specifically focusing the literacy related classroom communication, and CHAT, in relating the classroom data to societal issues (changes in education and in vocational demands). Literacy events related to reading, school texts (textbooks, teacher produced material) were used in combination with vocational texts (texts used within the vocation). The interaction between texts used and produced within the field of textile education and work contributes to supporting transfer from school to work. References: Lindberg, V. (2008).
