ABUT THIS MODULAR CURRICULUM

This =Wine is one of a.series of 34 modules intended for use in the pro-fessional.pieparation. of vocational edvators in the vocational educationservice areas of agricultural, businesd6, hone economics, and industrialeducation. The curriculum dan be adapted'to various styles of instructionand to various, entry-levels''of students.

,

1

It is recommended that an instructor planning to use these nodules revieweach category to determine if any modification is needed in the objectivesand suggested activities so that they conform with local institutional,policies and/or vocatlional edu4ation programs. It is also suggestedsthatresources°and activities be identified for the specific entry-level ofthe student to be -served.

The activities listed are suggested. The use of any other activity or' reading reference which the instructor believes would help to accomplish

the objectiVes of that lesson is encouraged. The choice of the teacherto use the entire module, either through group reports or individUalizedassignment, will be related to individual studentcbmpetency reqUirements.

Since many modules strongly, recommend the use of local administrativepersonnel and community rsources, it suggested thaall site visita-tions and requests for assistance in the community be coordinated by orcleared through the instructor. The instructor may wish to 'distribute ,

. these tasks among the student group and across the community with'the classreport system being used to disseminate the information gathered. ,'

,

These modules have been field tested in various settings. They havebeen used with studentsgworking toward a bachelor's or master's degree, A

and with students seeking the designated subjects credential in.Calif-oinica. Sone modules were tested through student independent study,

. .others as part of total cliss assignment, end still others as an alter-nate activity. Workshop participants examined the materials in terms ofcontent, activities, and resources. The adaptability of.this curriculumis one of its strengths. '

-

The materials could not have been completed without the participation and_contribution of many individuals. Chief among these persons Were themodule' writers, workshop. participants,, field-test instructor, and students.Conference presentors and evaluators also contributed to this project.

. Proceedings of the workshop are available upon, request.

education' should be fashioned so as to reveal :bho fullest

4, intellectual and social meaning of work in a free society.This requires that vocational and general educatiOh be con-/'ceive& and designed as interrelated aspects of the curriculumand,not as independent or oppositional entities."

In the preceding lesson in this module the objective was to observe therelationship_between vocational educaiion acid general education. _Doingso would s%:ggest that,there is a division betWeen the two. -Such ie not

intent of his modte; rather he intent is to point out a working re-lationship between -relations:, awe ceneral e#oation.and further:to illus-'trate that vocationaYeducation is am integril part of general education.

In the book entitled :urrictIlum Zevelopment, Tanner and Tanner have givensupport to the philosophy that vocational education is a vital part'ofgenersl educatiol. The follmdmg quote from Page 562 of that took illus-trates the pOint!

The ecological crisis of the 1970's has illustrated dramati- .

cally that 'social and intellectual'inteFests cannot be separatedfrom man's twork'in sciences, industry, agricultlire, transports,

tfoh, health,' government, and so on. Insofar as the curriculumis conderned,'altHough vocational education provides for special-

. ized competencies'and pursuits; it needs to e sufficiently broad,so'as to share with gene'rl education the c tivation of those '"

understandings and tympatlies that are co on to all citizensof a free society."

How, then, is yooational eduCation integrated into the general. curriculumso that it contributes to the broad goal of educating a person for livingip a tree societyl sAn attempt to.answer that question is the purpose ofthis lesson and its activities.
