Skills Development
Skills Development is the aspect of learning that focuses on acquiring the basic operations for resolving a collection of related tasks using a collection of tools. It usually involves the conversion of a raw-material into finished product. Notwithstanding, some skills like laundry do not work to convert raw materials. They make clothing clean.
In every skill, safety is of premier priority, as it is that work could be very disastrous without it. In safety, we consider the safe work wears and patterns. This usually helps to make working fun and fulfilling.
All skills usually require specialized equipment, or rather collection of tools. These tools, their usage and care are are very important aspects of every skill learning. Usually every skill can be classified into subskills based on the classification style of its tools set. Some tools are usually manual, some are portable power tools, and others are machineries. Manual tools usually do not require power supply; power tools usually require power supply but then do not consume too much but then carryon task at a bit higher scale than manual tools; but then, machineries are usually very expensive, big and specialized, their work scale is usually much much larger than those of manual tools and portable tools.
Every skill is performed in a specialized work place. For example, a carpenter works on projects in a wood workshop. Usually, every work usually has a collection of fixtures and/or machinery that distinguishes it from another. For a wood workshop, a wooden workbench is a mandatory fixture. Some wood workshops has a combination machine instead. Notwithstanding, all workshops usually need cupboards or shelves for the storage of the different tools and materials used in work. Also, they usually require a desktop for keeping some tools and materials when working.
Every skill has the raw materials or collection of raw materials it converts into a product or system. Some skills works on a material (or property) to make it better. But in all, every skills works on something. We term such stuff(s) material(s). For example, in teaching, a teacher works on the mind (psychology) of his students. So in the context of teaching, we can call the psychology of a student a raw material, since that is the main thing that is worked on. Also, we could call the dirty clothing a material in the context of the laundry skill.
Note: There are some materials that are not worked on. They are like tools and at the same time like materials. For example, nails and screws are materials used in woodwork, but they are not worked upon. Instead, they are used to work on wood, which is the principal material in woodwork. A major characteristic of tools is that they are reusuable, but then a nail/screw is reusable in some cases. A major characteristic of materials is that they are converted into products. Notwithstanding, nails and screws are used to fix woods together and are left in the product. That is, they are somewhat converted into product. In the context of this website, we call such materials, non-raw-materials.
