Proposed course of study for a beginning tenth grade woodworking class

Abstract

Scope of Study: Included in this report is a brief history of the development of the industrial arts program from its early beginning to the present time. This information consists of the philosophies of the movement, the leaders who contributed to the development of the program, and the objectives on which the program has been established. The body of the report consists of a course of study developed through the use of the instructor's guide sheets. These guide sheets outline each lesson for a step by step presentation. Included with the presentation is the method of presentation and the teaching devices with additional references for each presentation. Each guide sheet is concluded with the next assignment. This course of study is proposed to meet the needs of a beginning tenth grade woodworking class.

Findings and Conclusions: These instructor's guide sheets are intended to be flexible enough to be used individually when the need arises or as a part of the course of study, but no matter how they are used they must keep abreast with our advancing society and should be revised whenever necessary to meet the educational needs of the students and to fulfill the objectives of the program.
