(2023)Various implementation media can be used to create instructions to support independent skill learning. Despite this, little research has been done on the perception and significance of instructional materials for learning a craft skill. The purpose of this qualitative case study was to understand more deeply the connection between perceptions and learning a craft skill independently. In addition, the goal was to get deeper understanding on the inner processes of the mind that apply observations made from the instructions into practical activity and finally into skill. Of special interest in the study were the observations made by those learning craft skill independently of the instructions implemented using different media, as well as the cognitive processes in the process of learning craft skill. The primary research material consisted of recordings containing videos of the computer screen and thinking aloud, which the test subjects produced while learning Tunisian crocheting independently in an online learning environment. The secondary research material was reflections written by the test subjects afterwards. The test subjects produced recordings unsupervised. The recordings were analyzed with the Atlas.ti 22 following the principles of protocol analysis. The reflections were analyzed by thematizing the content relevant to the research. Based on the research results, the learning of a motor skill is based on the observations that are made in the learning process, but along with the observations, experimentation and practice promote the learning of the skill. The study also showed that the implementation of e-learning materials in multimedia serves different learners in learning a skill, even though video instructions require less cognitive effort. For this reason, it is recommended that the instructions intended for self-study of craft skills are implemented in the online learning environment using different media. The results also challenge to develop more flexible e-learning platforms.

(2015)Aims. Cleaning work is practical work, meaning identification of professional competence cannot be based on written tests but must be based actual performance of practical tasks. The aim of this Master's thesis was to identify the main skills in professional maintenance cleaning and to define levels of skill within various levels of ability. The aim was to create a tool for employee and supervisors which can be used to identify employee skills through practical work tasks. Methods. The study was carried out in two different cleaning service companies. Features of process analysis, collaborative planning and stimulated recall methods were applied to the research. Classification of the key skills in maintenance cleaning was based on the views of the companies' trainers, as well as a questionnaire which was answered by supervisors. The skill level descriptions were produced as part of the companies' training programs, and the expertise and experience of the participants were also utilized. In the last step the skill matrix was piloted with employees and its usability in skill identification was evaluated. Results and conclusions. According to the results, 14 different skills were identified as the main skills of maintenance cleaning. They were classified as management of processes and working methods, maintaining working capacity and general professional skills. A theory with four levels was developed to represent the different skill levels: the novice's skills are defined as random, the apprentice's as repetitive, the journeyman's as applicable and the master's as skills developed through work. To reach the master skill level both theoretical knowledge and practical experience are required. To allow for the identification of knowledge, skill matrices were produced for the employee as well as for the supervisor. The matrices can be used as a part of induction and also in training.
