The General Woodworking Core Curriculum. Project ABLE: Development and Evaluation of an Experimental Curriculum for the New Quincy (Mass.)

In the developmental process, analysis of a large number of occupations related to the woodworking family identified clusters cr sub-families which were then analyzed for common skills and knowledges. Job descriptions and task enumeration were followed by task descriptions and analyses, and behaviorally stated performance objectives, derived from task and analyses, were translated into criterion tests called performance evaluation sets. To meet a major project objective of individualized instructicn, learner activity guides which include student-instructor options for selecting media and methods of instruction to meet individual needs, were developed and are appended. i-Aditional documentation cf other developmental efforts are also appended.
