Safety Concepts for Pre-Student Teachers in Industrial Arts. A Research Paper.

This paper describes the development of a self-instructional package to be used in a pre-student teaching class in safety instruction for industrial educators. The resource itself is contained in the body of the report. The narrative provides the review of literature undertaken and analysis of the data from a survey/questionnaire mailed to sixteen field professionals who chose the five (of twenty-one) most important items of concern in safety education topics for pre-student teachers in industrial arts. The thirty-seven-page self-instructional package contains information relating to teacher liability and safety attitudes--the two major concerns in the field of industrial arts as identified by survey respondents at the present time. Each of the two parts contains informative materials, learning activities based on them, and activity answer keys. Optional activities may be provided. Final evaluations (with answers) for each part are given. (Appendixes include list of survey participants, cover letter, and questionnaire.) (YLB)
