Picture 5: This picture is from our classroom there we have all the cars that the students work with. No days we have moved the truck to another building there we do the heavy vehicles lessons. And we also have changed the cars with newer ones.
They do seem to be very new cars. In Australia I dont think we have such new cars for students to work with. What work do your students do on these cars?
How convenient is it to change the cabin filter in this car? Do you really mix heavy trucks lessons with cars? Doesn´t that get a bit crowded in the workshop?
Yes, like Lasse also told, we are lucky to have this new cars whith new technich. The student do service programs and assembeling a lot of parts at the cars. Hopfully they get everything back.
You dont have to be tal, but small to manage to change the cabin filer, while its in front of the passangers seat. Now we have the haevy trucks in another buildning but still its sometimes crowded...
Yes it could get very crowded. Our students work in crowded workshops sometimes too. What is the best teaching strategy you have used with your students when working on these cars?
I always tried to split the studient to differente stations. If I have 20 students, I let half of them reading and looking for answers to questions and the other halv of the class goes round to the different stations. Stations both on the cars and on engines and other parts beside the cars. And after a while we change places.
I think dividing your group like this is a very good way to approach the workshop teaching. I have a colleague in Sydney who is in a vocational school who worked with the teacher to make a DVD of some of the common procedures so that students could watch these and learn in this way as well as having a very busy teacher in the workshop.
Yes you do certainly get tired and I am not sure that everyone appreciates how tired you get. When you are responding to individual needs of students you have to be very 'gymnastic' and move from one topic to another quite quickly. Do you find this?
Yes, I agree,you have to be both at several places in the workshop and with your thoughts...But thats what I think is the best in teaching, I don´t like to have the students sitting too long, it´s an challange to keep up their interes´and mix with practical parts.

ReplyDeleteThanks, that was a good ide! Sometimes you get tired having 20 students keep going for the three hours that all our lessens are...
