Course Objectives In this course students will learn to plan, conduct and analyse
teaching and learning processes in the occupational field. The
contents of work, technology and TVET in the field of electricity and
electronics are differentiated in four focus areas.
After successfully completed this course the students will be able:
 to explain the interrelation between technological
innovation, the development of specified work, and the
layout of TVET
 to apply the concept of social shaping of work and
technology as the crucial idea of TVET
 to apply technical knowledge and skills in the four focus
areas
 to plan, conduct, and analyse teaching and learning
processes in the four focus areas in the occupational field
according to the occupational standards
Course Content The different teaching and learning methodology of module 4.1
are applied in the occupational field of electricity and
electronics. The contents for the planning, conduction and
assessment of teaching and learning are derived from the
relevant technical field and the referring work system which
are manifested in the occupational standards.
