ROLES AND RESPONSIBILITIES IN TECHNOLOGICAL EDUCATION
Students
Students have many responsibilities with regard to their learning. Students who make the effort required to succeed in school and who are able to apply themselves will soon discover that there is a direct relationship between this effort and their achievement, and will therefore be more motivated to work.
Mastering the concepts and skills connected with technological education requires work, study, and the development of cooperative skills. In addition, students who actively pursue opportunities outside the classroom will extend and enrich their understanding of technology. Their understanding and skills will grow as they engage in recreational activities that involve technology, reading related to technology (magazines…), and learning about technological advances.
EFFORT = ACHIEVEMENT
MOTIVATION
APPLY YOURSELF
WORK, STUDY, COOPERATE
MASTERING
ATTITUDE!!!
YOU CAN LEARN THE THEORY AND THE SKILLS FROM ANY EXPERIENCED TRADES PERSON, BUT WITH A NEGATIVE ATTITUDE NO ONE WANTS TO EMPLOY OR TEACH YOU.
