Version 1.0 Dated: 31st of January 2000 Background This training and education programme for candidates with workshop training states the aims and the pedagogic framework for craftsman training in connection with marine engineer training and education. Admission requirements For admission to workshop training, the following schooling requirements have to be met: certificate for the advanced leaving examination of the Folkeskole ( Danish primary school) in the subjects mathematics, physics/chemistry, Danish and English passed with the grade 6 or above, or higher education. For students who do not comply with the above-mentioned requirements, the college may based on a concrete assessment of the maturity and schooling of the individual student - make it a condition that supplementary education is accomplished. For admission to subsequent seagoing service or apprenticeship ashore, the requirements are: completed workshop training with satisfactory results. Taxonomy The taxonomy (classification of training objectives) in annex 1 has been applied for the description of purposes and objectives. Aim The student is to acquire the craftsmanship skills relevant for a marine engineer through vocational training and theoretical education, so that he will be capable of independently applying these skills in planning as well as execution of marine engineering, refrigeration and electro technical maintenance and repairs. These craftsman tasks are to be carried out in consideration of economy and existing environment- and safety regulations.

The candidate shall be able to evaluate the professional quality of executed work . The candidate shall develop his understanding and familiarization with the crafts relevant to marine engineers. After workshop college and subsequent seagoing service, the candidate shall be able to work manual machine tools and hand tools. be able to carry out thermal joining and cutting be able to carry out erection and dismantling of machines and components be able to carry out troubleshooting, corrections of errors, maintenance and repair of machines and plants This purpose is considered on the basis of theoretic and craftsmanship training and education at the workshop college plus a subsequent seagoing service term/period of apprenticeship in an engineering and/or electro technical enterprise by means of basic craftsman training in manual chip removing and chip less finishing, drilling, grinding, mechanical joining, thermal joining, turning, milling, measuring techniques, wiring, diesel- and refrigeration assemblage. basic theoretic education in material theory, workshop technology, electro technical and engineering documentation, electric fitting, engine theory, refrigeration and hydraulics/pneumatics projects and project related training apprenticeship in an approved enterprise, where craftsman skills are trained and developed training is arranged and carried out in a manner, which creates the basis of an educational environment focusing on developing cooperation, flexibility and performance of tasks in a natural way and considering well-being and personal growth. Schedule for craftsman training Workshop college Apprenticeship app. 1480 lessons (two semesters) 12 months

ANNEX 1: TAXONOMY (classification of training objectives) General In the table below, the taxonomy primarily used for the following goal descriptions is stated. The following applies for this taxonomy: The individual steps of the classification explain the behaviour, which is to be demonstrated by a candidate for certification, who has completed training and education. The system consists of six classification steps (goal categories). Together they should cover all sorts of objectives within the field of knowledge and intellectual skills, irrespective of the nature and subjects of the training. The classification steps are arranged according to complexity. The knowledge objectives are the most simple and the assessment objectives the most complex. When the student for instance succeeds at the analysis level, he will be capable of succeeding at the levels of knowledge, understanding and applying within the same problem complexity or field. If the designation familiar with is applied, an actual learning is considered non-existing. Consequently, the material that has been worked through is not supposed to be rendered, and check of result is not carried out. Classification of training objectives (taxonomy) in knowledge and intellectual skills
The steps of the classification are: 1. Be familiar with: Shall be capable of rendering conveyed information from memory 2. Have an understanding of: Shall in his own words be capable of accounting for conveyed information and implementing it in a known situation according to instruction 3. Be able to apply: Shall in any normal situation to which conveyed information can be naturally referred to, be able to apply this without further instruction 4. Be able to analyse: Shall be able to disintegrate information and account for the distinctive characteristics of the relationship between the different elements 5. Be able to form synthesis: Shall be able to compare information to previous experience and through this articulate his own view of the subject 6. Be able to assess: Shall be able to make assessment of different views on the basis of combined knowledge, application, understanding, analysis and synthesis Examples of other suited behavioural terms: Describe, explain, acquire, identify, mention, render, recognize In brief, the steps of classification may be described as follows: Familiarization is defined narrowly as approval or rendering of conveyed information Understanding includes, that a given information is interpreted, which presupposes a reorganization of given information

Explain, express, interpret, calculate, advance, demonstrate, explain in own words, give examples

Application implies the transfer of Apply, choose, solve, distinguish, test, use, acquired skills to new situations or new carry out, classify, demonstrate, construct, problems, which correspond to already meet with, arrange, utilize, exert, handle, known types work Analysis of information is the first step of more independently solving of entirely new and unknown problems

Compare, check, find, exempt, select, infer, analyse, point out, register

Suggest, produce, combine, conclude, organize, plan

Synthesis demands a forming of a new whole. The candidate must collocate their knowledge in a to them new way

Determine, control, assess, consider, criticize, debate, evaluate

Assessment implies assessing based on criteria. It is not sufficient to bring forward a subjective estimation. Often an assessment will be characterized by individual opinions, but these will then have to be clearly expressed in the criteria laid down for the assessment
