PURPOSE OF THE PROJECT

Present Status of Progrdms.

.%

In some districts, the Home Furnishings Services one-year programs are havingdifficulty attracting sufficient enrollment to continuex a cost effective,basis. Thesedistrict advisory committees have indicated the need for restructuring curriculitminlo shorter, more intensified Code 30 programs to fill the occupational needs follow-ing the discontinuance of the Home Furnishings Service Program.

411,.

Purpose a Intent._/1/

Pup4se of this project was to develop short-term Home Furnishings Skills Pro-gram çuricu1um. The implementation of the curriculum will train workers in thefoUowng Iome Furnishings related occupations: Drapery Maker, Slipcover Maker,and Furniture Renovator. . \

There is a declared need by induttry for skilled v,(zrk o be employed as.fr

PROCEDURE FOR CURRICULUM DEVELOPMENT ,

1. Wisc<ffisin State hoard Honie Economics Consultant contacted staff from variousdistricts to assist in the development of the curriculum.

444.A

A project director was chosen as were curriculum writers in the following areas:Furniture Renovation (Refinishing & Reup olstery) >-

Slipcover ConstructionWindow TreatmentsRod InstallationEntrepreneurship

/ 2. Lists of employers and past graduates were obtained from the four participatingdistrthis.

3. The project director compil three separate questionnaire survfts of performancetasks related to the areas: Fulniture Renovating (Reupholstery and Refinishing);Drapery Construction and Wind Treatreents (including rod installation); and Slip-cover Construction. 'All three queztionnaires contained tasks associated withEntrepreneurship. The questionnaire was patterned after the Iowa's "Identificationof TaSks in Home Economics Related Occupations. "

Each survey contaill a checklist of tasks indicating the tasks performeAn aparticular job and the frequency of performance. A general information sheet wasincluded to learn the charact stics of people involved in these occupations. Space

was procrided for respondent to list additional job tssks they'performed. Refer to

pages 4-10. '

4. The number of quesOonnaire Surveys sene.out and the number returned is given,

Window Treatments

Selq, Out Retuined

(including. rod installation) 26 9.)

Furniture Renovation 30 8,

Slipcover Construction .7 2

Since this is a developing area, the number of participants to be surveyed waslimited.

The rate of return of surveys a.ppeared to be related, to present Status 'Of economy,particularly in some districts. .

0,

5. The data findings of the surveys returned is recorded on the survey on pages7-10. It states,the number of respondents that performed a particular task -

.41 daily, once a week, .once a month, once a year, or never.

The data findings showed .a 'trend for workers in these home furnishings areasto be largely of the over,35 age group. The individuals engaged in these occu-pations were self-employed or worked with less than two employees. A largepercentage had received their training at adult education classes or vocationalschool.

The tasks performed by the individuals depended on the size of the business.In a smaller business (under three workers); the employee or self-employedperson'perfoirn2ed all the tasks of construction. In a larger business (10 or moreworkers), the employee did particular jobs such as cutter, sewer, etc.; butsome moved around and performed different jobs at various timeS.

Construction tasks stiere most frequently performed by the self-employed andemployee of the larger business.

Routine`business tasks were performed by the self-employed, the boss or by aperson specifically assignekto only that aspect.

6. Consultants, co-ordinators, project director,.and instructors working on theproject collected resource materials from educational institutions and othersources. The rtaterials were distributed to the designated curriculum writers.

7. A format for the curriculum was developed. There were three columns. In thefirst column the tasks a worker in the particular occupation would need to performwere stated. ,The tasks stated on survey questionnaire were to be used as a guide.

In the second colunm; the learnings the worker must comprehend in order to per-form the task were stated.

The last column was to be comprised of learning activities and resources that theteacher or student would do to provide learning or to learn the task. Resources inthe form of illustrative and inforpnative guide sheets would be listed here, and

included in a separate resource book.

8. A separate bibliography would be at the end of the curriculum guide. It was toinclude the title, author, publisher (address), cost and synopsis of the resource.

9. A time frame was developed.

10. The project diketor met with individual curriculum writers. One meeting of allconsultants, ccAordinators and curriculum writers was scheduled to review thesuggested curriculum guides.
