ABSTRACT

Occupational Education Articulation Program:Building Construction/Carpentry

Wm. Edward Henderson Jr.

The School District of Greenville County P. O.Box 2848 - 301 Camperdown Way Greenville, SC29602

Program Period: March 1, 1982, through February 28, 1983

PURPOSE: To develop a continuous line of vocational training in similarBuilding Construction and Carpentry programs so that studentsmay continue their education at the secondary and post-secondary levels without loss of time or waste of effort inrepeating tasks that have been mastered previously.

To provide a system where teachers can cooperate effectivelyin providing R continuous occupational development programwhere the level and typ,-.: of training that leads to entry-levelemployment skills will be clear to students, teachers, othereducators, and employers.

METHOD: Building Construction teacher representatives from foursecondary level vocational centers of The School District ofGreenville County and post-secondary level Building Con-struction teacher representatives from the Industrial Divi-sion, Greenville Technical College were brought together intask force committee meetings and workshops to survey very .similar vocational courses of training to identify possibleoverlap or gaps as students continued carpentry training fromthe secondary level to the post-secondary level. In addition,there was interest in lateral articulation of similar programsat the secondary level. This articulated, performance-based(competency-based) instruction objectives guide was developedby the Task Force Committee on B,tilding Construction tofacilitate articulation. The Task Force Committee on BuildingConstruction, by the task analysis process, identified theessential competencies for Building Construction for a studentto continue training or for initial entry into the labormarket in a Building Construction related field. Majorobjectives for competency were stated, performances to obtainthe objectives were stated, performances to obtain

iv

so

e

the objectives were identified and placed in sequential order,instruction time was estimated, and performance standards werestated. Finally, outcome-referenced (criterion-referenced)measures of competence were developed as a guide in articulat-ing.

RESULTS: As a result of this project, the Articulated, Performance-based Instruction Objectives Guide for Building Construction/-Carpentrz was developed. This articulation guide, however, isnot a final product since it must be field trial tested andrevised. Modifications and improvements to the guide areexpected sine the process of education must be continuallyreviewed to ensure thcit objectives are valid and are being metas best they can be met under given conditions.

A Policies and Procedures Guide was developed to aid articu-lation activities in an earlier phase of the project and hasbeen used to direct program activities.

Two workshop guides, developed during the earlier phase of theproject were used to assist task force committee participantsin writing performance-based objectives, performance actionsto reach the objectives, performance standards, and out-come-referenced tests. These guides contain how-to-do-itsections distributed to teacher participants. The workshopstandards for performance evaluation guides and the Policiesand Procedures Guide were revised during this phase of thearticulation program.

BUILD CONST II COMPUTER NUMBER: 748

Building Construction II reviews, expands, and appliesthe principles learned in building Construction I.Building Construction II emphasizes more specific andadvanced pliases of the trade. Dur-tng the second year ofvocational training, the student-will become more knowledge-able concerning various phases of foundations, framings,caverings, trimming, and finishing. Each student willhave the opportunity to gain specialized skills andknowledges through individual or team activities.

Upon successful completion of two years of training thegraduate should be competent for entry level employmentin the field of carpentry. Carpentry work typically

-involves the general erection of buildings. In addition,carpentry work nay include putting up shelves, hangingdoors, framing windows, laying flooring, and buildingwalls and partitions. The finished carpenter may con-struct cabinets, install molding, and panel room in-teriors.

The carpenter is able to do simple mathematical problems,estimate jobs, and read blueprints. A general knowledgeof related fields is necessary when the carpenter workswith plumbers, bricklayers, roofers, and others.

Building Construction I and II provides the student withthe basit skills and knowledge necessary for entry intocarpentry work. The second year high school level pro-gram provides additional advances or specialized skillsand knowledges to better prepare the student for work, toqualify the student for entry in related field of carpen-try, or for continued career preparation at the post-secondary level.

PERFORMANCE Given basic carpentry tools and equipment, the willEVALUATION: demonstrate competency in reading and interpreting

blueprints, specifications, sketches, and building plansby fulfilling the carpentry requirements according toapplicable standards.

JOB Carpentry, D.O.T, 860.381. Entry level generallyQUALIFI- will be as an apprentice carpenter. The carpenter mayCATIONS: advance to the position of foreman, job superintendent,

and general superintendent. Work may be as roughcarpenter, or finish carpenters typically in residentialconstruction.

The "Rough Carpenter," D.O.T. 860.761 generally followssketches or oral instructions and builds rough woodenstructures.that might include concrete ,fo.-ms or houseframing. The rough carpenter interprets specificationsto determine dimensions, measures boards, timbers, orplywood using a square, measuring rule or tape, and markswood fcr cutting. Cutting wood by hand or power saw todimensions, the rough carpenter fastens wood by nails orother means for forming a structure. Other typical jobsinclude installing door and window frames, subflooring,or sheathing on walls and roofs. Primarily, the roughcarpenter deals with wooden framework in constructionsuch as subflooring, sheathing, partition's, floor joists,studding, and rafters.

"Finish carpenters" may specialize in installing molding,paneling, cabinets, window sashes, door frames, andhardware.

Related work might include sales and service in lumberbusinesses, cabinetmaking, or prefab housing manu-facturing.

Although cabinetnaking is a specialized vocational pro-gram, some cabinetmaking skills are taught to prepare thecarpenter to build, install, or finish kitchen cabinetsand similar built-ins. In addition, vocational programssuitably equipped for teaching cabinetmaking may allowstudents who wish to specialize in cabinetmaking rodevelop skills and knowledge that will help them enterthat field. Training might include production of windowframes, molding, trim, and panels; making products such

17

as furniture, store fixtures, kitchen cabinets, andoffice equipment. Skills typically acquired would in-clude cutting,,shaping, and assemblying parts by means ofhand tools and woodworking machines; refiniihing furni-ture, installing hardware; planning layouts; and workingwith various types of woods.

WORKING Carpentry work involves some manual dexterity. TheCONDITIONS; carpenter may have to lift moderate weights such as wood

stock, frames, or assemblies. Some of the disadvantagesfound in carpentry work are dangers from falls, strains,or cuts. Work in construction industry may involvelayoffs caused by poor weather or shortage of materials.

Carpentry work, in the business world, seldom waits onthe weather. Since the Building Construction/Carpentryis designed to prepare graduates to make their living inthe construction business, students should be prepared towork in cold and 'hot environments, sometimes in the rainor mud. Exposure to elements such as sharp winds orsunlight should be expected. Typically, training willnot expose the student to harsh environmental condi 'n,sthat may be experienced in the trade.

In some work, carpenters may be required to provide theirown hand tools.

STANDARDSAPPLICABLE TO

BUILDIK CONSTRUCTION I & II

1. a. Layout lines on lumber should be accurate within the width ofa sharp pencil line. Tolerances associated with framing are+/- 1/16 inches unless otherwise noted. A reliable generalguide is to leave the penciled line when cutting.

b. At the suggestion of secondary carpentry instructors, thetypical standard of +/- 1/16 inch is replaced by the standardof +/- 1/8 inches for framing and rough carpentry work. It isthe opinion of the secondary instructors that the revisedstandard is more realistic for the type of training beingconducted.

c. All materials will be marked accurately for cutting accordingto specifications +/- 1/8 inches minimum, and +/- 1/16 inchespreferred, unless otherwise stated.

2. Materials must be marked to indicate maximum use of wood stock anddimensioned lumber.

3. Specifications of the Southern Standard Building Code apply unlesssupersrded by standards included in task description.

4. Upright, 90 degree walls or posts must be plumb +/- 12 degrees.

5. Construction will reflect local building code requirements andlocal building practices.

6. Construction must be completed according to given specifications,architectural or working drawings or sketches.

7. Proper safety, use and care of carpentry hand tools, power handtools, and stationary carpentry machinery will be practiced at alltimes.

OUTLINEOF

ARTICULATED, PERFORMANCE-BASEDINSTRUCTION GUIDE FOR BUILDING CONSTRUCTION

(Secondary Level Carpentry)

This performance-based instruction fpide has been developed based on therecommendations of the S. C. State Department of Education, secondarylevel carpentry training being conducted at the writing of this guide, atask analysis survey of potential employers of secondary level grad-uates, a survey of V-TEC an& other articulation or competency-basedprogram task lists as well as the recommendations from the participatingpost-secondary institution and current curriculum research data.

This curriculum guide has been prepared along the traditional lines of"stick building" but omitting certain tasks that have been replaced bythe growing use of pre-cuts or other current practices.

While this description is applicable to the carpentry program presentlybeing conducted at the secondary level, a change of a secondary levelinstructor or varying requirements from potential employers might neces-sitate revision of this guide.

The articulted, performance-based description of the secondary levelBuilding Construction (Carpentry) program is outlined on the followingpages.
