(2017)The aim of this study was to investigate teaching of silver clay technique in the context of adult craft courses. In addition, information about challenges in teaching silver clay was collected. Theoretic background of this study consisted of studies and theories about learning and teaching of skills. Material was gathered in May to June of 2017 by individually interviewing three teachers who teach silver clay technique. The collected material was analyzed theory oriented, by using content analysis method. When classifying skills teaching, Romiszowski´s (1999) three phase method was utilized. The results of this study show that the silver clay teachers were mostly the same strategies and following Romiszowski’s (1999) three step model in their teaching. All the teachers introduced essential information for students to run the task in the beginning of the course. The information was shared by e-mail, paper copies or by organising a physical brief before the course. Explaining history and behaviour of the material as well as introducing the tools were considered essential by the teachers. In the second phase, every teacher said they would demonstrate working of silver clay concretely with the help of showpieces. Improvement of the students’s skills was supported by individual guidance and continuous feedback. When teaching silver clay, the teachers had faced various challenges, the most prominent of which were issues relating to people skills and unpredictability of materials. There is no previous research on silver clay teaching. Therefore, results of this study can be considered useful and applicable to teaching of the silver clay technique, but to teaching and planning of other craft techniques as well.

(2019)This thesis purpose was to observe motor skills as learning and teaching them in primary school. The theoretical of this thesis was motor skills in crafts. I have studied motor skills in primary school crafts from two different perspectives. The pursuit was to answer in two re-search questions: 1) What are the motor skills needed in crafts? and 2) In Which ways motor skills are learned and teached? Thesis has been made as literature review. Former studies and literature of basic motor skills, school crafts and learning and teaching of motor skills, are used as the basis. Different theories of the studied themes came up as studying the literature of school crafts and motor skills. New answers for the research questions were made based on former studies. The biggest known researcher in this theme is Pirkko Anttila. In her dissertation Anttila has written about the factor of ten skills, which shows the basic skills of crafts and also the man-ual motor skills of crafts. Beside Anttila´s researches, I have found studies about motor skills in sport science. Different studies and theories of all the used literature source are mirrored in this thesis to primary school crafts. Motor skills is the keystone of primary school crafts. The width and diversity of motor skills will be shown in this thesis. Motor skills can be studied, approached and defined in many perspectives. The strategical motor skills in crafts could be considered as the fine motor skills and the motor stability, smoothness and accuracy of the hand. The key theories in teaching and learning of motor skills is the theory of phased learning and the three-phase theory.
