Ett undervisningsförsök att skapa meningsfullt lärande i frisörens grundläggande tekniker

Sammanfattning: This Independent work is about testing a method to create meaningful learning and a deeper comprehension in matter of basic hairdressing techniques. I got the idea for this method by reading literature related to my education to become a teacher for hairdressers, the new schoolreform and from my own experience of a teaching method that I saw an opportunity to develope. My teaching method was based on first teaching the pupils the basic techniques, and then give them an assignment were they were to find out their own final result by using a picture for inspiration. They were given an assignment description with certain frames but with freedom of choice how to get to their own final result. By making a job description and a headdrawing to show how the work should be done, and during the process try different ways to achieve the best result, my idea was that a deeper understanding and a feeling of meaningfulness would appear. The result shows that the pupils by freedom within frames experienced meaningful learning and thereby deeper understanding when it comes to basic hairdressing techniques. They also developed skills to write, evaluate their own work and to try new paths for further learning. The conclusion is that this teaching method can be used to achieve the goals according to the be changed and added on to develop the method further, but it is a good foundation as a starting point.
