This project is a survey of the perspectives placing learning and education in an institutional and political context. The project is more of a survey of the circumstances, under which instructors work at a practical training centre in Zealand and also the difficult situation of having to deal with an educational assignment, and being a caregiver for the students simultaneously. All of these processes require the ability to contain a big degree of understanding for the interaction between each individual and the surrounding institutional frame. The methods of this project uses critical-utopian field-research, and builds on a future workshop and four interviews with the instructors. The theoretic basic of the project is the starting point in order to understand the subjective meaning of the instructors work. In this matter, the critic-theoretic work definition and Negt’s theory about exemplary learning will be used. The instructors are having big challenges with elements such as IT, leadership, working conditions, pedagogic assignments, less competent students and their own limits. All these elements have an alienating effect on the instructors’ work. In order to strengthen the realistic day of work for the students in the practical training center, the instructors have found that an outdoor, unheated workplace can give the students a grasp of reality. But because of the stated obstacles, it seems to us that an outdoor working place cannot alone give the students an insight on the actual workplace that awaits them in their future.
