This book unpacks the notion of pedagogy in South African technical and vocational education and training (TVET), enhancing the importance of the psychological dimension of learning. The book is premised on the idea that as stories of actual, grounded teaching and learning practices emerge from South African colleges, a coherent picture of pedagogy can be established. With chapters by practising TVET educators writing about their own work, the volume seeks to reconceptualise vocational teaching and learning processes with diversity and inclusivity in mind. The book will be of interest to students and scholars of TVET and education in South Africa, as well as South African college practitioners and policymakers.
