How This Course Supports the Ontario Catholic School Graduate Expectations

The role of Technological Education in the Catholic faith community is to enable students to develop and utilize their gifts and talents while creating products and processes that benefit others in a way that models Gospel values. The focus of the curriculum is to enable students to become critical and innovative problem solvers who question the use of resources and understand the implications of technological innovations. An emphasis on process as well as results ensures that students create products and provide services that recognize our God-given responsibility to respect the dignity and value of the individual and the community. Students also become aware of ethical issues and how these issues may be resolved using Christian values.

Course Notes

Manufacturing accounts for two million of the highest paying industrial jobs in Canada. With a large percentage of skilled tradespersons set to retire in the next 10 years, people with transferable technological skills enjoy a wide range of career opportunities. This course offers students an exposure to the skills, knowledge, and competencies required in the manufacturing workplace. Communication, planning, and co-operative skills are emphasized. Community involvement is promoted.

The units follow a logical order and the learning is project-based. Individual projects may be used in each unit or projects may be developed across the units. Projects selected are dependent on the resources available in the facility, the comfort level of the teacher, and available community work. Students benefit from participation in work challenges from the community whenever possible, allowing them to apply the design process while developing solutions to authentic technological challenges. Unit 1 focuses on product design development with an emphasis on modelling methods from pencil and paper through to advanced 3-D solid modelling (CAD) and physical models with rapid prototyping, or translation from CAD to CAM.

The proper selection and logical sequencing of manufacturing processes is the focus of the second unit. Students also give consideration to material selection and inventory needs as they visualize the actual building of their project from the model or from engineering drawings.

Unit 3 provides for the accurate and safe use of a variety of manufacturing processes as students build complex products with precision and high quality.

Unit 4 allows the student opportunity for reflection on process and product. The product is presented to the school, community, and client. The student answers the question: “What would I do differently?” Students give consideration to their level of enjoyment in the overall process and how that may affect career choices.

An awareness of Gospel values is developed through reflection activities that explore technological implications to human well-being. Students are given opportunities to develop a clear understanding of the benefits and risks of technological growth and development. Throughout the course, students are provided with opportunities to discuss and evaluate ethical issues relating to each phase of the process. Students acquire the knowledge, skills, and attitudes to use technology effectively, confidently, and ethically to enhance the human condition and protect the environment.

Assessment Techniques

Activities in this course are generally skill-oriented. Students develop skills reflected in the expectations set by the curriculum. Student achievement is measured against these expectations. Assessment of skill development involves focusing on both the process and the product. Checklists are used to identify the operational steps of the process. Significant aspects of the completed product are identified and assessed by a rubric or rating scale. Checklists, rubrics and rating scales should be available to students prior to assessment. These assessment tools provide both the student and the teacher with an up-to-date and ongoing means of monitoring the level of achievement attained. Students are encouraged to use these tools for self-assessment as they strive for acceptable standards of competence. Teacher/student discussions clarify the standards that are expected. Peer assessment, especially during group work, also helps to clarify expectation achievement.

Self-assessment helps students develop a sense of responsibility for their own learning. It encourages students to reflect on their growth and learning, giving them a sense of where they have been, where they are, and where they are going.

Conferencing and anecdotal comments with suggestions for improvement can take place on a daily basis. Provide encouragement in light of Gospel teachings by praising effort as tasks are completed, building on a positive self-image.

When self-assessment and peer assessment occur with teacher guidance, students are provided with feedback to their work besides that of the teacher. Through modelling and coaching, teachers can help students provide constructive and supportive feedback to themselves and to one another.

The use of performance tests as a method for assessing the student’s achievement of a skill is both valid and effective.

A variety of assessment techniques are used. The vocabulary used in test questions should reflect correct technical terminology. Oral testing and student demonstrations of acquired skills can be used. Although students are encouraged to write answers in proper sentence form, questions and answers that involve diagrams are effective assessment instruments in technological education. The ability to combine skill and knowledge successfully in practical work tasks is demonstrated by students in their planning and implementation of projects, work assignments, and problem-solving activities.

How Assessment Strategies May Be Used to Determine Final Course Mark

Assessment instruments are designed to provide information about student achievement. Learning skills, effort, punctuality, and recorded absences are reported separately and are not considered in the determination of the percentage grade for the course. Assessment instruments may be used in more than one achievement category. The final grade is determined using the weighting below as a guideline to reflect the student’s most consistent performance level.

Seventy per cent of the grade is based on assessments and evaluations conducted throughout the course. Thirty per cent of the grade is based on a final evaluation in the form of an examination, performance, an essay, or other method of evaluation.

OSS Considerations

This Grade 12 Manufacturing Technology course is designated as a Workplace Preparation course. (See The Ontario Curriculum, Grades 9 to 12, Program Planning and Assessment, 2000 for a description of the different types of secondary school courses.) Students can use this course as a compulsory credit (1 credit from Science Grade 11 or Grade 12) or Technological Education (Grades 9-12), or as an optional credit.

Workplace Preparation courses are designed to equip students with the knowledge and skills they need for direct entry into the workplace or for admission to apprenticeship programs and other training programs offered in the community. Teaching and learning emphasize workplace applications of the course content, but also explore the theoretical material that underlies these practical applications. Students are involved with practical and theoretical aspects of Manufacturing Technology. The course provides opportunities for students to undertake hands-on practical activities, as well as to conduct research and analysis. Anti-discrimination education, equity, social justice issues, career goals, cooperative education, conflict resolution/violence prevention, and community partnerships are addressed. All of these support many of the Ontario Secondary School policies.

This course allows students to learn about their interests, strengths, and aspirations. Career exploration throughout all units is available to students with specific reference to Choices Into Action: Guidance and Career Education Program Policy for Elementary and Secondary Schools, 1999.

The manufacturing process provides opportunities for many cross-curricular activities. From product design development to performance analysis, students are constantly using the sciences, arts, and mathematics. Mathematics and arts are used in preparing technical drawings and dimensionally and statistically checking products. The sciences are used in selecting manufacturing materials that have appropriate properties and structure. The course elements provide opportunities for students to become more familiar with information technology and a variety of software packages. Technical briefs, written reports, and oral presentations enhance students’ language and grammar skills as well as their communication skills.

Project-based, hands-on activities provide students with opportunities to explore health and safety issues as they apply to the physical and personal well-being of students in the class, lab, and workplace. Students acquire knowledge and skills relating to safe practices and proper use and handling of material. Because of the practical nature of this course, students apply what they learn in planned learning activities outside the classroom. Activities may include field trips, co-op placements, job shadowing, and outside community projects. These activities help enhance students’ awareness of educational and career opportunities. Through these experiences, students develop an understanding of personal values as well as an ability to make ethical decisions reflective of Christian values.
