What does SLOJD mean in Scrabble?
noun
historical
A Scandinavian system of teaching practical handicrafts, especially woodwork, as part of a school curriculum.
Slojd developed in nineteenth-century Sweden and Finland as a method of education that used simple, useful woodworking projects to build concentration, coordination and independence in pupils rather than to train professional carpenters. Teachers guided students through a fixed series of objects, each a little more difficult than the last, so that skill grew step by step alongside patience and care. The approach spread to schools in other countries, including Britain and the United States, where it influenced early ideas about manual and vocational training.
