In our daily work as researchers and teacher trainers, we meet many vocational teachers and vocational teacher students. It might be a baker or a car mechanic who after a couple of decades in the profession decides to re-saddle and become a vocational teacher. One thing that most of these teachers do and becoming teachers have in common in the meeting with us researchers is a vast need to discuss didactics and challenges that they meet in their everyday lives in school. This book brings together some of Sweden's foremost researchers in different aspects of vocational didactics and their recent research on didactic challenges and dilemmas in vocational education. The research presented in the book is addressed to a group of teachers who to a large extent lacks teacher training; vocational teacher in Swedish high school and adult education, as well as to students, teachers and researchers in vocational teacher programs at Swedish universities and colleges. 

In this presentation we present the anthology Yrkesdidaktiska dilemman, the authors and their contributions and discuss how we can approach didactical dilemmas in VET.
