LESSON 1

SETTING UP THE CLASSROOM FOR EPP/TLE

SCQ 1.1

A shop room set-up is one of the concerns of the teacher teaching EPP/TLE,
because it is much different from an ordinary lecture room. It is of prime importance
that the setting up of the shop room shall be done in conformity with the needs of the
students and the health and safety of both the students and the teacher. It should not
be forgotten that shop room furniture and equipment should be positioned in such a
way that they do not cover the windows. The teacher should be able to look at the
entire shop room from any point or corner. If possible, the wall accessories should be
in light color.
 Below you will find the reasons why a properly set up shop room is
important:

ƒ Proper placement of equipment and tools facilitates movement.

ƒ Poor shop room arrangement may be the cause of shop accidents.

ƒ It provides ease in working.

ƒ It maximizes utilization of time allotment

SCQ 1.2

Here are the major steps you can do to prepare the shop room for the conduct
of a shop work class.

ƒ Know the EPP/TLE area to teach. Each area has its needed tools,
materials and furniture for use by the students.

ƒ Identify the needed tools, materials, and furniture that are available.

ƒ Make lay-out sketches for possible options of shop room arrangement.

This way, areas for mobility of students are studied with considerations
to the students’ safety as well as yours. Secondly, this will give options
for access to tools, materials, and wash stand.

ƒ See to it that lighting and ventilation facilities are just right.

ƒ See to it that the total shop room area is safe and conducive to the
teaching and learning activity.

LESSON 2

INDUSTRIAL ARTS AND HOME ECONOMICS

SCQ 2.1
 Given the four locales, you will have to think of ways to teach EPP/TLE. The
following are some of the factors to be considered:

ƒ The material resources involved in the teaching of skills through project

making are important. Certain localities abound in indigenous materials
and local agricultural products which can be utilized.

ƒ Tools and equipment are most of the time not sufficient. This calls for
alternative teaching methodologies in order to teach a specific learning
skill.

ƒ The type of project to be introduced and to be made by the students

must appeal to their personal and home needs. This strategy will make
the article more functional and valuable.

The kind of project to be produced should be something unique but must

utilize available local tools and cheap materials.

LESSON 4

INTRODUCTION TO COMPUTERS AND

ENTREPRENEURSHIP

SCQ 4.1
Below you will find the reasons why a properly set-up computer room is important:

ƒ Proper placement of equipment and computer units facilitates

movement.

ƒ Poor shop room arrangement may be the cause of shop accidents.

ƒ A properly set-up computer room provides ease in working.

ƒ A properly set-up computer room maximizes utilization of time.

SCQ 4.2

Demand for products or goods may differ according to community type.

Fishing communities as well as farming communities normally are far from groceries
and malls; hence, these localities may need the basic commodities that are needed
for home consumption. Similarly, school supplies and other dry goods such as
clothing may be in demand in these communities. Whereas in a poblacion or in a
city, merchandise demand can be high for products and by-products made from
indigenous materials.

Now compare your work with the table below.

Community Type Products/Goods/ Merchandise Needed

Fishing Community Basic commodities, garments
Farming Community Basic commodities, garments
City/University belt area Art supplies shop, toiletries
Central Poblacion Farm products and delicacies, beauty products
