WT5912TECHNOLOGY EDUCATION & WORKSHOP PRACTICE 2: MATERIALS AND CONSTRUCTIONUnit 0 – Week 1: Construction Studies and Health & SafetyDepartment of Design & Manufacturing TechnologyLecturer/Teacher: Mr. Joseph Lyster Academic Year 2011: Spring SemesterTechnical Support: Mr. Joe Murray & Mr. Richie Hennessy Lecture Notes: www.slideshare.net/WT4603P1004 – 28/01/2011 12-1pm
WT5912Introduction:Students will be introduced to the Construction related syllabi at senior cycle level and develop strategies to teach their concepts and content. Students will draw on their knowledge base from their primary degree and content of this module to formulate a coherent approach to teaching construction based subjects at second level.In addition to the Construction syllabi students will be involved in extensive laboratory work to ensure the competent and effective implementation of wood processing safety and practice in second level technology education settings. This is a core issue regarding the management of the classroom environment for health and safety of all and the nature of work being conducted.Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology

WT5912Introduction:Aim & Objectives…The overall aim of this module is to prepare you for the role of teaching, learning and assessment of second level leaving certificate Construction Studies.Affective Domain: To motivate and foster your moral development as a teacher of Construction Studies with emphasis on critical pedagogy and practice, i.e. health & safety, through the integration of previous knowledge and methods of reflective inquiryCognitive Domain: To draw on the learning obtained from your pervious qualifications to support the development of your knowledge, comprehension and application of both theoretical and practical elements of Constructions StudiesPsychomotor Domain:To foster your ability to plan, develop and demonstrate practical processes and techniques through organised teaching and learning activities in the Construction Studies settingDepartment of Design & Manufacturing Technology
WT5912Introduction:Assessment…60% Laboratory Work (LW)
20% Written Exam (WE)
20% Term Assignments (TA)

WT5912Construction StudiesDepartment of Design & Manufacturing Technology
WT5912Construction Studies:Details:Construction Studies (C.S.) was established in 1984 and was first introduced to vocational schools
It is a second level senior cycle subject and a follow on subject from junior certificate Materials Technology Wood (MTW)
It is part of the ‘established leaving certificate’ programme
The subject is optional, meaning students can choose to study it if they wish.
It is offered in most schools but not all.
It offers a broad range of learning involving both theory and practical.
In terms of its assessment, it is offered at both ordinary and higher level
The uptake in C.S. has continued despite the collapse of the Irish Construction sector/Industry.
This can be largely attributed to the learning experience on offer and the respect for teachers of C.S.Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology

WT5912Construction Studies:Current Trends…Current Trends:Though the theoretical areas/principles of the subject remain the same there has been a significant change in the process of building.
This is currently being assessed in the leaving certificate exam, which is set by the State Examinations Commission (SEC).
The subject has engendered a strong theme for economic, social and environmental building performance, i.e. sustainability.
These features are being integrated into the examination phase through elements such as updated building regulations, building energy rating (BER), passive housing, sustainable planning and development.
A few years ago the subject was to receive a formal update including a revised syllabus and new name –Architectural Technology.
However, the current economic climate and the issue of funds to support the broader range of development in the technologies has resulted in this plan being shelved until a future date.Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology
WT5912HEALTH & SAFETYDepartment of Design & Manufacturing Technology
WT5912Health & Safety ManagementSection 8(2)e of the 2005 Act states that it is the duty of every employer	“to provide systems of work that are planned, organised, performed and maintained so as to be, so far as is reasonably practicable, safe and without risk to health.”Health and safety management is a practical and systematic approach to identifying hazards and evaluating the extent of associated riskDepartment of Design & Manufacturing Technology

WT5912Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology
WT5912Unsafe WorkplacesCan be identified by:High accident/injury rates.
Poor machinery guarding.
Poor cleaning and housekeeping arrangements.
Limited interest of OHS by employers/management.
Lack of care/respect for safety rules.
Poor safety culture.Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology
WT5912Safe WorkplacesCan be identified by:Regular inspection of workplace
Consultation between employer and employees.
Clearly defined structure of responsibilities….
Employees are trained…
Exceeds the specific requirements of the law – manages safety not for fear of being reprimanded but for the employees.Department of Design & Manufacturing Technology
