Exemplars (from the NaCCA curriculum)
Communication: Organize whole class and ask learners to select the finishes to apply given the specific space involved. This is a brainstorming method that elicits critical thinking among learners as they sincerely discuss and come out with the appropriate finishes. Collaboration: - In mixed ability groups ask learners to discuss the construction technologies involved in the application of the specific finishes to be used. This method is to ensure effective participation by different learners (GESI) in teaching and learning, including the Approaching Proficiency, the Proficient and the Highly Proficient. - In mixed ability groups ask learners to discuss the types of adhesives, accessories, tools and equipment to be used to enhance efficiency in the application of the finish. This method is to ensure effective participation by different learners (GESI) in teaching and learning, including the Approaching Proficiency, the Proficient and the Highly Proficient. Exemplars: Ceiling Finishes; Plywood, Soft Boards, Timber T&G, Paint, Plaster of Paris (P.O.P) Experiential Learning: Embark on field trips to Construction Sites or Sales Halls where Ceiling Finishes are applied or sold. Learners will observe, feel and learn about; 1. The appropriate finish to apply to the Ceiling given the functions of the Space; 2. Construction technology processes used in the application of the finishes; 3. Types of accessories adhesives, materials, tools and equipment used to apply the finishes. Assessment (3.3.2.AS.5). The document marks these depth-of-knowledge levels for this indicator: Level 2 Skills of conceptual understanding; Level 3 Strategic reasoning. Teaching and Learning Materials: - Surfing on the Internet to find information about Services in the Building. - The use of simulation (virtual) to illustrate the functioning of Services installations in the building. - The use of Flip Charts with Services Lay-Out Plans to show distribution of basic services in the building. - Surfing on the Internet to find finishes used on buildings - The use of simulation (virtual) to illustrate functions of finishes on building - Charts, - Pictures - Illustrations - Sample of finishes - Scale models.
