Professional teaching methods

Professional education emphasizes a teaching method known as learning by doingor hands-on practice. Under this method, students learn job skills by practicing them with actual machines or tools. Instruction may take place in a laboratory or in a special classroom called a shop that duplicates a real workplace. For example, students in the automotive department of a high school work on automobiles with the same tools used in repair shops. Such equipment makes professional education one of the most expensive types of education.

Most professional schools offer individualized instruction, which enables an individual to study the material at his or her own pace. Students work independently with tape recordings, devices called teaching machines, computer-assisted instruction, and other materials. The teacher gives individual help.

Another method of professional education combines classroom studies with work experience, insuch cooperative education, students attend school part-time and work part-time, usually in a paying job. Business firms and other organizations cooperate with schools in employing the students. A faculty member called a teacher-coordinator helps students obtain jobs that match their field of study.
