This course examines a wide variety of assessment targets and analyzes their purpose, techniques, and quality indicators. The focus is on teacher-prepared tests and techniques through methods such as observation; written, oral, and performance tests; peer-and self-reports; portfolio documentation; and direct personal communication used to assess the different learning targets. The course culminates with an analysis of methods of interpreting assessment results and providing feedback and direction that promotes on-going improved instructional decision-making and learning.
The focus of this course is on curriculum design in the area of Industrial Arts and Business Teacher Education. Students will develop a course of study directly related to their subject specialty using a sequential process of formulating, selecting, and organizing course material. This course presents an organized format that potential teachers can apply to future courses to be planned and delivered. Students will study topics that include curriculum and learning models, curriculum contexts, learning outcomes, assessment and evaluation, instructional analysis, and structural frameworks.
This course is an introduction to the processes and procedures used in woodworking at a junior high or middle school industrial arts program. It deals with hand tool processes, machine tool processes, materials, curriculum, instructional methods, and laboratory techniques necessary for day-to-day instruction.
This course exposes students to a complete survey of the construction industry. Students will explore this rapidly growing field through activity-oriented instruction which includes the broad systems of construction, selected concepts in pre-construction, construction, post construction and considerations of future trends. Studies within this area are complemented by student-conducted lab activities and Internet research which emphasize the technical, human, and cultural aspects of construction technology.
This course prepares students for teaching in the public school system. Topics covered are done at an introductory level and include basic electronics and activities based on the use of a CNC wood router. The topics will be covered using lecture and hands-on activities.
