Hello
there!
My name is Henric Wendt and I work as a secondary teacher at the Vehicle
and Transport education in a small town named Laholm. This is my
school with the name Osbecksgymnasiet, where I work and practise. The school is
such a small school with less than 1000 students.
The picture
shows the head building entry and the schoolyard. The white building is for the
practical education programs.
My school educate in three vocational subjects: vehicle and transport, industrial and electrical
engineering.
Here you can see
the training local. When you enter the local it’s just like an ordinary garage
with cars, car lifts, tools, diagnostic instruments and other things that you
can find in a garage.
Here is a
learning situation where one of my students make a service on a Volvo. I try to
use real situations as long as I can just to get the students to understand how
it works in reality.
My teacher
colleague shows the students a Land Rover and teach them where the vehicle
is built and in which situations you can use that kind of car. We are in this
time teaching about 4 wheel drive so Land Rover is a perfect choice.
As you
can see we have got a good cooperation with Volvo. This car was donated by
Volvo for educational purposes, which we are very grateful for.
In first grade the students learn how to shift tires and how to balance them. In this
picture two of my students are practicing that operation.
