A Modular Approach to the Education of Design, Craft and Technology Teachers: An Analysis of New Developments at Crewe and Alsager College of Higher Education

Abstract

Proponents of 'total-approach' non-modular structures designed to facilitate the education 0f young designers and teachers tend to regard alternatives to such well established procedures as some sort of heretical fantasy.

It is the contention here that not only is a modular structure a viable alternative it is in some respects desirable for certain kinds of work. More, it offers a developmental model which may well prove to be more capable of response to social change, student needs and technological advance than other systems.
