Tacit knowledge, learning and expertise in dry stone walling
No full textThis is a detailed study of learning in the context of dry stone walling. It examines
what happens in the learning situation. The aim of this work was:
'To understand the nature of expertise in dry stone walling, how it is understood
by those practising the craft, and how it is transmitted to others'.
The main research questions were, therefore:
What happens when dry stone wallers are learning their craft?
How do they acquire expertise in dry stone walling?
How is this learning communicated?
This process necessitated developing a way of engaging with the practitioners,
eliciting descriptive data about what they were doing, and why they were doing it,
through interviews (or conversations) with both individuals and groups, whilst
they practiced their skill. Twenty three wailers were interviewed as they worked,
building walls.
The material obtained was analysed under seven different themes:
'Knowing how'
The use of tacit knowledge or intuition
'Flow'
Constant decision making, reflection and learning from mistakes
Individual and subjective variations and experiences
The relevance of emotion
The use of 'rules of thumb' or maxims.
Learning walling does not fit simply into any of the seven themes. It is
contextualised, complex and individual. It demonstrates tacit knowledge and
intuition. It involves emotion, sometimes consciously, sometimes not. It involves
memory, problem solving, and learning from mistakes, and reflection. Maxims or
'rules of thumb' were a key element in the learning process at all stages. Linear
stages of learning were not evidenced. Deep understanding of the practice is
evidenced, and the wider learning and teaching implications are explored
Eternal Walling. "A Gardener's Log" by Edna Walling. [review]
No full textWere she alive, Edna Walling would probably be delighted to know that another of her books has been reissued. She might also be astonished and just a little peeved. After a brilliant career as a garden designer, columnist and author — as well as photographer, cottage designer and ardent protector of the natural landscape — Walling’s fame had all but faded by the time she died in 1973 at the age of seventy-seven. Few noticed her passing. However, her renaissance began in the early 1980s, with new editions of selected works and with Peter Watts’s widely praised "The Gardens of Edna Walling". Many more such publications followed.Australia Council, La Trobe University, National Library of Australia, Holding Redlich, Arts Victori

In this article, the author argues that supporters of American President Calvin Coolidge’s campaign against Mexico are Doheny, Mellon, Sinclair and The Standard Oil of Indiana, who are asking Coolidge to annihilate Mexico, because they are not going to accept an international arbitration. / Artículo de William English Walling intitulado "Siniestros intereses petroleros antiamericanos sostenidos atrás de la hostilidad del gobierno de Estados Unidos hacia México", en el que asevera que las fuerzas que apoyan al Presidente estadounidense Calvin Coolidge en su campaña contra México están representadas por Doheny, Mellon, Sinclair y la Standard Oil of Indiana, quienes están pidiendo a Coolidge que aniquile a México pues no están dispuestos a aceptar ser sometidos al arbitraje internacional
Drainage Walling as Excavation Support
Get PDFIn practice there are different processes which are used to support excavations and to maintain the groundwater level in excavations which go down to this level. In urban areas the diaphragm wall is frequently used to protect the excavation and as underground water packing against groundwater flowing in from the side. In addition, the lowering of groundwater is necessary using a well point within the excavation. A new foundation trench sheeting has been developed by the author of this paper. This new method is an improvement on the diaphragm wall by which not only is the earth shored up, but the lowering of the groundwater within the excavation can also be carried out. In accordance with the function of this method, we refer to the new type of foundation trench sheeting as drainage walling. This drainage walling is manufactured in a similar way to the diaphragm wall. We have observed drainage walling on building sites which differ greatly from each other. The results of our observations are intended to demonstrate the advantages and also the problems involved in this new process to the planning and project engineers
