EPI306 Metal Technology: Workshop & Pedagogy (8)
Abstract|
This subject builds on skills developed in EPI203, and provides students with the opportunity to develop more advanced workshop knowledge, skills and safety procedures. These relate to more complex equipment, techniques and processes used with metal in the secondary school context, particularly those in Stage 6/Years 11-12. An emphasis on pedagogical approaches and workshop teaching strategies appropriate to Industrial Technology Metal is also an important part of the subject.
Students will engage in school metal workshop projects and receive advice and demonstration of teachers' practice including issues related to Work Health and Safety (WHS) and classroom management. They will discuss and demonstrate an applied understanding of syllabus specified requisite knowledge and skills for Stage 6/Years 11-12 Industrial Technology, and how these may be taught in the classroom and/or workshop. |
