PREFACEAlthough it is a relatively short text, Microwave Oven Repair is one of the most comprehensivebooks that MAVCC has ever published. It touches upon every area of microwave oven servicein two well illustrated units, and constantly directs the student toward the extra attention tosafety that microwave oven repairs demand.We naturally recommend Microwave Oven Repair for appliance repair programs. We feel thatinstructors will find that teaching from a corrqtency-based text a pleasure, and we’re surethat the graphic impact of MAVCC’s well illustrated materials will make learning an easier taskfor students.For instructors who may not know about it, we also recommend MAVCC’s Major ApplianceRepair which presents materials on laundry equipment, gas and electric ranges, garbage dis-posers, and trash compactors.In short, when it comes to major appliance repair, MAVCC’s got the major materials you needto build a successful program.Greg PierceExecutive DirectorMid-America VocationalCurriculum Consortiumvii8

USE OF THIS PUBLICATIONInstructional UnitsMicrowave Oven Repair contains two units. Each instructional unit includes some or all ofthe basic components of a unit of instruction; performance objectives, suggested activitiesfor teachers and students, information sheets, assignment sheets, job sheets, visual aids,tests, and answers to the tests. Units are planned for more than one lesson or class period ofinstruction.Careful study of each instructional unit by the teacher will help to determine:A.The amount of material that can be covered in each class periodB.The skills which must be demonstrated1.Supplies needed2.Equipment needed3.Amount of practice needed4.Amount of class time needed for demonstrationsC.Supplementary materials such as pamphlets or filmstrips that must be orderedD.Resource people who must be contactedObjectivesEach unit of instruction is based on performance objectives. These objectives state thegoals of the course, thus providing a sense of direction and accomplishment for the student.Performance objectives are stated in two forms: unit objectives, stating the subject matterto be covered in a unit of instruction; and specific objectives, stating the student performancenecessary to reach the unit objective.Since the objectives of the unit provide direction for the teaching-learning process, it isimportant for the teacher and students to have a common understanding of the intent of theobjectives. A limited number of performance terms have been used in the objectives for thiscurriculum to assist in promoting the effectiveness of the communication among all individ-uals using the materials.Reading of the objectives by the student should be followed by a class discussion toanswer any questions concerning performance requirements for each instructional unit.Teachers should feel free to 1dd objectives which will fit the material to the needs of the stu-dents and community. When Leachers add objectives, they should remember to supply theneeded information, assignment and/or job sheets, and criterion tests.10

Suggested Activities for the instructorEach unit of instruction has a suggested activities sheet outlining steps to follow in accom-plishing specific objectives. Duties of instructors will vary according to the particular unit;however, for best use of the material they should include the following: provide students withobjective sheet, information sheet, assignment sheets, and job sheets; preview filmstrips,make transparencies, and arrange for resource materials and people; discuss unit and spe-cific objectives and information sheet; give test. Teachers are encouraged to use any addi-tional instructional activities and teaching methods to aid students in accomplishing theobjectives.Information SheetsInformation sheets provide content essential for meeting the cognitive (knowledge) objec-tives in the unit. The teacher will find that the information sheets serve as an excellent guidefor presenting the background knowledge necessary to develop the skill specified in the unitobjective.Students should read the information sheets before the information is discussed in class.Students may take additional notes on the information sheets.Transparency MastersTransparency masters provide information in a special way. The students may see as wellas hear the material being presented, thus reinforcing the learning process. Transparenciesmay present new information or they may reinforce information presented in the informationsheets. They are particularly effective when identification is necessary.Transparencies should be made and placed in the notebook where they will be immediatelyavailable for use. Transparencies direct the class’s attention to the topic cf discussion. Theyshot.:d be left on the screen only when topics shown are under discussion.Assignment SheetsAssignment sheets give direction to study and furnish practice for paper and pencil activi-ties to develop the knowledge which is a necessary prerequisite to skill development. Thesemay be given to the student for completion in class or used for homework assignments.Answer sheets are provided which may be used by the student and/or teacher for checkingstudent progress.Job SheetsJob sheets are an important segment of each unit. The :nstrucior should be able to demon-strate the skills outlined in the job sheets. Procedures outlined in the job sheets give directionto the skill being taught and allow both student and teacher to check student progress towardthe accomplishment of the skill. Job sheets provide a ready outline for students to follow ifthey have missed a demonstration. Job sheets also furnish potential employers with a pictureof the skills being taught and the performances which might reasonably be expected from aperson who has had this training.11xi I
