EPI203 Metal Technology: Workshop & Design (8)
Abstract|
This subject provides students with the opportunity to develop introductory workshop knowledge and skills and safety procedures in the use of metal as a material for the secondary school context. An emphasis on design as it relates to Industrial Technology metal projects is also an important part of the subject.
Students will consider how these skills and concepts relate to technology teaching in the secondary school. They will engage in school metal workshop projects and receive advice and demonstration of teachers' practice including issues related to Work Health and Safety (WHS) in the TAS teaching environment. They will report on these aspects of teaching to develop an applied understanding of safety, pedagogy and design, to ensure a safe technology classroom environment and consider how this supports their development as effective technology teachers. They will build on these understandings through assessment items that link theory and practice in this technology area. |
