INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION

RATIONALE

Industrial Education is a program consisting of courses which provide acontinuum of experiences, starting with exploratory activities in the juniorhigh school and expanding in the high school to the development of skillsrelated to career fields. This development of the student's skills is

planned for through courses in industrial and vocational educationculminating in on-the-job work experience, or entry into a job or post-highschool institution for further education.

The program consists of courses ranging from those designed for anexploration of the technologies and trade areas to units of practicalpreparation for a career. In the process the courses develop the student'sself-knowledge, talents and skills.

For information on sequencing and course description, refer to the

"Industrial Education Manual for Guidance to Teachers, Counsellors and

Administrators".

PROGRAMS

There are two parts to tie Industrial Education program. The firstpart consists of the I.E. 10, 20, 30 series of courses and is designed forcareer orientation. These courses were developed primarily for students inlaboratories that utilize the multiple activity approach as found in mostsmaller schools, but they can be taught in unit shops as well.

The second part consists of the I.E. 12, 22, 32 series of courses andis intended for career development. The courses are planned for use in

schools where facilities are available to teach specific occupational

areas.

Students may progress from the I.E. 10, 20, 30 series to the 22 levelcourses upon meeting specified basic prerequisites or upon recommendation oftheir principal.

Both sections of the program forms on six career fields. These are:

Graphic CommunicationMechanicsConstruction Ale, Fabrication

Electriciti-ElectronicsPersonal ServicesHorticulture

-2

.

The I.E. 10, 20, 30 courses consist of a number of 25-hour modulesrelated to the career fields while the I.E. 12, 22, 32 courses consist of a ir

numher of 25-hour modules of specific occupational content. Completion ofseven five credit modules qualifies the student for recognition by theApprenticeship Branch for credit towards a journeyman's certificate.

It is left to the administrators of the school to offer the courses orcombination of courses best suited to the needs and interests of thestudents and the financial resources of the district.

Courses offered at the 22 and 32 level have to meet special criteriafor staff and facilities. The Industrial Education Consultant mustauthorize these in order to qualify the students for vocational grants.

OBJECTIVES OF INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION

The Industrial Education Program can help achieve the Goals ofSchooling and Education. The course objectives are more focused and givedirection to the teacher.

The objectives of Industrial Education are classified in three areaswith the following purposes:

A. Personal Growth:

To provide opportunities for the individual growth of the studentthrough the development of acceptable personal and social valuesnecessary in a productive society.

1. To provide a technical environment which motivates and stimulatesindividuals to discover their interests and develop personal andsocial responsibilities.

2. To assist in the development of positive attitudes toward safety.

3. To assist in the development of positive attitudes towardconservation and environment.

4. To assist in the development of consumer literacy.

B. Career Exploration:

To provide students with experiences which will assist him or her inmaking realistic career choices.

1. To provide students an opportunity, within a technicalenvironment to become acquainted with the general occupationalcharacteristics of a variety of career fields.

2. To relate their own interests, abilities, likes, dislikes andvalues to several career fields.

C. Occupational Skills:

To develop basic competencies, integrating cognitive and psychomotorskills related to families of occupations.

1. To provide safe exploratory experiences in the use of tools,energy, equipment and materials appropriate to various technologiesprevalent in a productive society.

2. To develop an understanding of the interrelationships of varioustechnologies.

3. To nrovide a technical environment which permits students tosynthesize their accumulated knowledge in the solution of practicalproblems, and to assist students to develop habits that will beconducive to the establishment of a safe environment.

INDUSTRIAL EDUCATION 12, 22, 32 PROGRAM

INTRODUCTION

The Industrial Education 12, 22, 32 program is a series of moduleswhich develop competencies leading to six different career fields.

Entry into a career field may be gained by taking one of several

introductory courses. These are:

1. the "12" course designated for each major, or

2. two modules from the Industrial Education "10, 20, 30" seriesrelated to the anticipated major, or

3. one half of a "12" course. The other half would be anotherhalf "12" or a module from the "10" program. The course wouldhe recorded as Industrial Education "10".

Following the introductory course the student may advance to the majorarea of study by selecting any number of five credit modules from thecourses designated as "22" or "32". The scheduling and sequencing of themodules is the responsibility of the local school personnel but must be in

accordance with the regulations pertaining to prerequisites.

A student registered in a second or third level course ("22" or "32")is regarded as taking a major in that course area. Having established amajor the student may select courses designated as minors and in this waybroaden his/her practical skill base in a career field or even several

career fields. However, students must complete all the preceding modules ina major series (usually six) before taking the 32C module (exception: BeautyCulture).
