Abstract

The article presents how the concept pair theory and practice have been used and changed in a selection of texts related to the school subject crafts in Sweden from the late 19th century to the 21st century. The text analysis is based on Koselleck's (2002, 2004a, 2004b) conceptual history theory of synchronous and diachronic time with associated concepts. Koselleck describes how concepts change over time within semantic fields in a historical context. The article examines texts from four semantic fields: historically significant initiators of the school subject crafts in Sweden, historically significant international inspirers, contemporary national inspirers in philosophy and pedagogy and contemporary actors in craft pedagogical research in Sweden. The results show how the concept pair theory and practice have been used and changed over time within the school subject crafts in Sweden. When designing the subject crafts, the initiators used both practical and theoretical knowledge. The theoretical knowledge was indirectly expressed in concepts such as understanding, judgment and sharpness of thought. Based on contemporary craft pedagogical research, it is clear that other concepts are used to describe how the pair of concepts are intertwined and interact during the manufacturing process. Despite this, the argument remains that the subject is practical, including in society and in research.
