PRINCIPLES OF TRADE AND ARTS

TEACHING
MASTERY IN THE TRADE

• Trade or industrial arts teaching is effective as long as

the shop teacher is a master of his trade and
professionally trained to teach such trade.
• Mastery here means that the shop teacher has acquired
to necessary technical skills and job intelligence or
knowledge which will enable him to solve the most
intricate problems of the trade.
TRADE AND JOB ANALYSIS DETERMINES
WHAT TO TEACH
• Trade teaching will be more effective ifthe content or
elements of the trade have been analyzed, listed and
arranged in their proper instructional order.
• These elements (operations and related information)
becomes the teaching contents of the trade.
 SELF-PREPARED TEACHING GUIDES

• To attain competency in teaching the shop teacher should prepare

his own course study or course outline, analysis cards, lesson
plans, work books and other teaching guides.
• A shop teacher who writes his own teaching guides will indirectly
help him retain his knowledge of the trade more permanently in his
mind.
• He can organize his thoughts better and recollect essential related
information faster.
KNOWLEDGE OF CHILD AND ADOLESCENT
PSYCHOLOGY IS NECESSARY

• Teaching will be more effective if

the industrial arts and
trade teacher understand child psychology and
adolescent psychology, respectively.
• Understanding the children’s or student’s behavior at
various age level will help the teacher adjust his
methods and techniques of teachings to the needs and
intelligence of the learners.
UPDATING TRADE OR INDUSTRIAL ARTS
TEACHING
• Trade or industrial arts teaching is said to be update
when the shop teacher is always abreast with the rapid
technological developments and is professionally
growing in the trade.
• A teacher who is teaching old processes or who is using
obsolete tools and machines is lagging behind his trade,
especially when there are many new skills and
techniques to develop and there are better and newer
tools.
GOOD CONDITIONS OF TOOLS AND
EQUIPMENT
• Trade and industrial arts teaching is effective in
proportion as the tools and machines are in good
working conditions.This is specially true with those
used in demonstration teachings.
• They should not only be in good conditions but also be
similar to, if not the same with the tools and equipment
to be used by the students in their work.

overall development and upbringing.
 SHOP ENVIRONMENT MUST BE
CONDUCIVE TO TEACHING AND LEARNING

they are readily available or familiar. To be useful, a
learning objective must be explicit and assessable
