SOTCOPYMAILAILIC U-I INTRODUCTION The Curriculum and Joint Lesson Levelopment Process The curriculum developed for the Bilingual Microcomputer Business Skills Course reflects the modern office practices and technology. During the course of its development various individuals from private and public sectors were consulted to provide feedback. The basic guidelines, strategies, aad format for the curriculum and joint lessons were provided by the Miranda Associates document entitled "A Guide for Planning Instruction for Bilingual Vocational Training Projects". The following steps well describe the basic process which was used in the development of the 19 Joint Lessons. 1. analyzing current Job descriptions through the USE of local classified ads, the Dictionary of Occupational Titles, employment agencies and employers to select the basic skills and qualifications required for office workers. 2. Selecting fundamental tasks to be developed and outlining a curriculum for :Astruction. 3. Preparing a vocational performance objective chart which included communication skills necessary for each of the 19 tasks selected. 4. Preparing a comparative chart for Joint lessons and curriculum. 5. Developing materials such as activity sheets, information sheets, job and performance evaluation sheets and learning strategies for each lesson and testing them with trainees. 6. Seeking expert and trainee feedback and revising the materials according to recommendations. The 19 joint lessons developed are competency-based. The focus was on mastering specific tasks needed to accomplish the job of the occupational cluster of clerical worker. The sequence of the lessons are in a logical order for learning about the microcomputer and word processing in a systematized manner. The lessons were designed so that the trainees could complete the tasks on their own, in pairs or in small groups. The learning activities included were prepare) and revised to accommodate individual learning styles, interest and pace of learning and to relate to the objectives of the task. many different kinds of illustrations and examples were provided for the purpose of assisting the trainee in the comprehension of a process theory or communicative skill. Effort was made to use language that was free of culture and sex stereotyping and to show females and males equally and at the same time making the trainee aware of their rights as workers and of gender and racial discrimination and harassment which still occur in some office settings. As stated, the content of the joint lessons was drawn fromthe course curriculum. The most accurate and up to date informationwas incorporated into the lessons. Hi-tech office communicationsystems were introduced and their advantagesand disadvantages discussed with the trainees. The language level of thelessons was designed for a trainee with high-intermediateto advanced levels of English language proficiency. Some materials offer alternativesin terms of language levels forpresenting information to the trainee. Explanations for technical terms anddirections are simple and the text avoids slang. Since the joint lessons were all based on the Miranda Associatesdocument for curriculum and joint lesson development,they include technical terms sheets which providedefinitions; information sheets which provide information thetrainee needs to comprehend processes and proceduresrelated to the task at hand or to the occupation; operationsheets which contain the step-by-step direction to performan operation; Job sheets which provide informaticson the materials, supplies, steps needed to complete a job task andprovide practice of the skill; activity sheets which providethe trainee with independent and/or cooperative exercisesand assignments and which strengthen a concept, jobskills or communicative skill; and performance evaluationsheets which explain to the trainee the task and the evaluationprocedures that she/he needs to complete in order tomaster a competency. The process of developing thejoint lessons involved having trainees use the materialsin the lesson in order to determine if the materials reallyfocused on the task, what difficulties the trainees experiencedand what motivated and interested them. This feedback was used torevise the lessons. By no means do we feel that the19 joint lessons presented are perfect and willnot need any further revisions. On the contrary, we plan to continuetesting these lessons for as longas they are utilized at the Hacer Inc. training center. We recognize that they willneed to be reviewed and revised in order tomaintain their capacity to keep up with technological advancesand communicative skills necessary to meet the learning needs andabilities of new trainees and a changing jobmarket.
