A 3-year study of 50 health occupations and trade and industrial preservice teachers in an alternative teacher education program included a simulation work exercise and analysis of instructional materials. Informal workplace learning resulted in implicit knowledge in the first year of practice. Critical practice was shown to be an important model in alternative certification programs.
