3(C). How current trends is relevant to Boilermaking workshop in terms of using it
It is useful since I saw the CCTV camera at WVTC during my teaching practice in Boilermaking workshop whereby, this new trade allow trainees to be more engaged on their school activities and also consider safety precaution as their first priority in the workshop (this normally focused on learner-centered). Because they know trainer is busy watching them through CCTV camera. It also help trainer to be able to control trainees movement in the workshop and it reduce time cost to rectify trainees mistakes when they are practice on tasks or activity. Since trainer will just observe trainees while in the office and this ICT is part of to facilitating to. Trainer can use this during assessment process as method of collecting evidence as well. Example, for trainees who like horseplay in the workshop and when accident happened in the workshop he/she can able to reward back to see what/who caused the accident.
Because we are now living in the world of digital technology, to obtain effective training in TVET system I am urging the recognition organisation such as NTA at least to provide this current trend (CCTV camera) in Boilermaking area to all centre within Namibia. Reason being for TVET system to lead by example. And most of the companies in the industries sector they are already adapt to this trend.
Very much disagree. I don't see any benefit from using CCTV camera to students. This will encourage laziness from Trainers, they will seat in their comfortable offices monitoring student's movement that are left all by themselves in the classroom / workshop doing nothing. How is this practice learner-centred? ICTs are there to help facilitate learning not watch over students. Rules and regulation are there to guide trainees not CCTV cameras. This Trainees are not learning anything from this CCTV cameras, they are only being monitored. Lets use the right ICTs that trainees can learn something productive and progressing their knowledge.
ReplyDeleteI am in disagreement, CCTV's are installed at a place to monitor the movement of people and their behaviour and most importantly for safety purposes of the properties. Students when they go to school they make it feel like their second home away from home because that is where they spend most of their time and they obviously want to feel safe and not have their privacies violated. CCTV's will just scare the students and make them to be uncomfortable when walking around the workshop.
ReplyDeleteA workshop is a place for students to engage with each other and learn so at a place like this they do not need to feel shy of being free because they always have to watch and be cautious with what they do around the workshop because they are being watched. With students, a written set of rules and a committed mentor behind the students will definitely set the students straight and be committed to their school work. Horseplaying can be avoided when the students have a committed mentor behind them and very importantly strict rules that when not adhered to results in serious consequences and punishments.
