Woodworking Training for Employment

Joseph J. BarlettaCUR 516Slide2

Phase I

Course Description

Students will learn shop safety, advanced woodworking and construction techniques, advanced design concepts, hand woodworking tools, understanding the needs of the client, and how

to use

Sketchup

. The course is designed for the advanced hand tool and carving artisan who desires learn unique lifelong skills in woodworking and furniture design as well as pursuing an occupation in woodworking and furniture design with Dynasty Fine Woodworking. Throughout the course the student will advance from single furniture projects to designing and creating a unique piece or woodworking or carving.Slide3

Phase II

GoalsSlide7

Phase II

Objectives

Demonstrate advanced joinery, carving, and woodworking techniques utilizing traditional woodworking hand tools All students in twelve weeks of training attending the Dynasty Fine Woodworking class, will successfully demonstrate the correct application of eight types of joinery using powered tools less than 10 percent of the time

All students will

demonstrate in the woodworking shop a joinery technique not taught in

classThis goal will use project-based learning because they will need to complete a hands on assignment and do researchInstructional technologies will be video based learning and online booksSlide8

Phase II

Objectives

Demonstrate how to function in a woodworking shop safelyAll students will successfully pass Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Basic First Aid certification taught by a certified American Heart Association (AHA)

instructor at

Kennet

High SchoolAll students working in teams of two, given fours of training in the classroom and given a computer with internet access, will choose a product used in woodworking that requires a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and will print the correct MSDS and explain

the emergency procedures

for that product

This goal uses collaborative based learning and encourages critical thinking skills because they will learn as a team and need to react to scenarios given to them by the CPR instructor. Collaborative based learning is needed as they work together to research and find MSDS’s.

Learning technologies will be video and online book based.Slide9

Phase II

Objectives

Demonstrate how to design furniture with SketchupAll students working in teams in two, with access to online training material will create a Sketchup model of a chair given the dimensions and material to be used within a margin of error of 2

%

Collaborative based learning will be used. As a team of two they will have to work together to learn

SketchupLearning technologies used will be online videos and online tutorials.Slide10

Phase III

Formative Assessments

Exit slips will be used. A few questions will be asked and the students must answer them (source: http://wvde.state.wv.us/strategybank/3-2-1.html)Slide15

Phase III

Formative Assessments (Cont)

Use of the “Parking Lot” Students will leave feedback and questions on a whiteboard accessible at all timesStudents will use photos to describe a process they learned

Ask questions and observe who and how they answer. Some students might hold back from answering or will wait until the answer is given. This indicates who is grasping the knowledge

Anticipate Responses

Instructor will do the project using two or more processesStudents will be given the project.The instructor will observe how the students complete the projectSlide16

Phase IV

Criteria for Final Assessment

Demonstrate advanced joinery, carving, and woodworking techniques utilizing traditional woodworking hand tools All students in twelve weeks of training attending the Dynasty Fine Woodworking class, all will successfully demonstrate the correct application of eight types of joinery using powered tools less than 10 percent of the

time

Each joinery technique will be compared to a finished joint that was prepared by the facilitators. The joint must have gaps of no less than 1/128

th of an inch. Joint must pass strength test (120 lbs/sq in)All students will demonstrate in the woodworking shop a joinery technique not taught in

class

Student will show documentation on joint. Facilitator will compare joint to documentation and must have gaps of less than 1/128

th

of an inch. Joint must pass strength test (120

lbs/sq

in)Slide17

Criteria for Final Assessment

Demonstrate how to function in a woodworking shop safelyAll students will successfully pass Cardio Pulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) and Basic First Aid certification taught by a certified American Heart Association (AHA) instructor at Kennet High School

Awarded

certificate of completion from AHA

All students working in teams of two, given fours of training in the classroom and given a computer with internet access, will choose a product used in woodworking that requires a Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) and will print the correct MSDS and explain the emergency procedures for that productMSDS sheet from product must match the MSDS on file in the woodworking shop

Student must correctly call 1-800-222-1222 (simulated) and read the correct section of the MSDS. Slide19

Phase IV

Criteria for Final Assessment

Demonstrate how to design furniture with SketchupAll students working in teams in two, with access to online training material will create a Sketchup model of a chair given the dimensions and material to be used within a margin of error of 2

%

Facilitators have an approved

Sketchup template that will be used as the measurement tool. The students will have two attempts to get the model measurements within a 2% margin of error of the templateSlide21

Phase IV

Criteria for Final AssessmentSlide22

Phase IV

Evaluation Instruments

A written exam that will assess the students knowledge on woodworking techniques they will have to know if employedPSI (Pounds per square inch) apparatus to measure joint strengthSketchup

templates to be used as grading tools

Existing MSDS log book to grade students with MSDS researchSlide23

Phase IV

Evaluation Overview

Did the students meet the goal. If they did then the program was good. If only a few met then I need to evaluate what parts of the program need to be tqweaked. If all or most fail then the program needs bigtime overallEvaluating the training program consists of formative and summative assessments

Formative assessments will be used to assess the progress of each student as well as the effectiveness of each phase of instruction while in progress

Summative assessments will be used to determine the success of the program. This is achieved by comparing the assessments with pre-defined criteria for the course.Slide24

Phase IV

Evaluation Overview

How formative assessments will be usedThe instructors will determine if there is a training deficit for an individual student or if all students are experiencing problems understanding the curriculumIndividual issues will be handled on a one on one basis to determine what is the best way for the individual to learn. This may include adding or removing modalities

If a majority of the students are experiencing problems learning then the instructors will use a question and answer session to determine what the apparent failure is in that particular phase of training. The instructors will reassess the training and make appropriate changes. After the changes are made another formative assessment will be performed.Slide25

Phase IV

Evaluation Overview

How summative assessments will be usedThe training program will be considered a success if 80 percent of students perform to standard and are hiredThe training program will be considered a partial success if 60-80 percent of students perform to standards and are hired

The training program will be considered a failure if less than 60 percent of students do not meet standards

A successful program does not mean there will not be improvements on the program. The training staff will re-evaluate any objective that did achieve 100 percent passing score by all students.

ProEdit will be used to analyze the summative evaluations and to determine where changes can be made to improve the program. It is possible ProEdit

may be used to re-design the program if warranted.Slide26
