Abstract
This chapter is an empirical contribution to the discussion about theory and practice in technical vocational education. The concepts of theory and practice are often used and discussed in relation to teaching and learning technology (compare, e.g., Bjurulf & Kilbrink, 2008; Gibson, 2009; Hansen, 2000), but also in relation to learning a vocation (e.g., Bengtsson, 2010; Berglund, 2009; Göransson, 2004).
