Evaluation of metal fabrication curriculum Bougainville Copper Limited

Abstract

This is an evaluation study of a Metal Fabrication curriculum developed for Bougainville Copper Mine in Papua New Guinea. The curriculum is part of the Apprentice training program that is implemented in the mines own training College under the authority of the Papua New Guinea Apprenticeship Board.
Several evaluation models were researched and the model which formed the basis of this study was selected because of its compatibility with the training environment that existed at Bougainville Copper Limited.
The evaluation model was applied using a questionnaire and interviews to review the existing curriculum and make recommendations regarding changes. These changes included the rationalization of content associated with motor skills and the inclusion of cognitive based content related to problem solving and decision making.
