AB  - Reviews the literature pertaining to the implementation of the advanced
skills teacher (AST) category. Presents initial data from a current
research programme which is investigating the introduction of the AST
category into the education systems of Victoria and South Australia.
Research involves a study of the implementation of the AST category in
two primary schools, interviews with senior administrators and perusal
of memoranda and other documents relating to AST introduction. Discusses
perceptions of teachers on work and skills with reference to whether the
teacher′s skill is an art or a craft and the changing importance of
skill. The current scenario evident in education is a mix of deskilling,
upgrading of skills and a maintenance of the existing skills.
