Mapping Technical Activities In Malakal

COLLEGE OF TECHNICAL VOCATION EDUCATION FOR TEACHERS UPPER NILE UNVEERSITY

ASSIGNMENT – RESEARACTICE

Group 1:

1.Night Clara John
2.Joseph Amule Eliyuda
3.Samue Imma Romano

THEME: Mapping technical activities in Malakal

BACKGROUND:

Mapping technical practical activities in Malakal is designed to survey and locate the craft/trade activities being carried out in the area;finding the capacity of the activities and availability of acquiring the equipment, tools and materials used. The types and size of the facility and the source of that knowledge and skills practice in the area.
The primary aim and objective for the mapping this technical practical activities is a research practice that will enable possible knowledge and skills be achieved during the exercise and also finding out achievements and constraints being encountered. The target category of the craft/trades includes;

1.Metal fabrication and welding
2.Auto-mechanic
3.Machine shop
4.Carpentry and Joinery
5.Building construction
6.Electrical installation
7.Pottery
8.Material sites
9.Plumbing and pipe fitting

The survey methods shall includes: observation, conversation, listening,questioning, photos, videos and sound recorder when permitted to do so.
This is a research practice carried out by the pioneers of college of technical vocational education for teachers of upper Nile University currently running this program at the premises of Malakal vocational training centre.

PURPOSE/OBJECTIVE:
This mapping of technical practical activity in Malakal has a purpose for students for students to know the research practice knowledge and skills of conducting the work and the objectives is to find the following data:

1.Identify technical activities in Malakal
2.locate or map facilities areas in Malakal
3.Find the types of craft/trade practice in Malakal
4.Find the standard/size of the facility
5.Find the equipment, machines, tools and materials use at the facility
6.Find the sources of the knowledge and skill use by the workers (in an institution learning at a Workplace)
7.Find out the production rate and wages
8.Technical practice carried in companies, organizations in Malakal

RESEARCH METHODS:
The current research method will be used only at it's primary stage and it is use in the same time to meet the objectives of the mapping:

1.Observation (visiting the site and observe what is happening on the ground)
2.Conversation (talk to the manager or staff to get what being done)
3.Oral questions (ask to find what is unknown)
4.Written documentation (register what is most difficult to keep in memory for documentation later)

RESEARCH TOOLS:
Considering the activities and availability responsive ways of approach to the sites or facility; the following could be necessary to use, either simultaneously or single, depending on the acceptance in the facility.

1.Documentation (taking main point from the facility authority or staff)
2.Photo (taking photos during the conversation and oral interviews)
3.Videos (taking films to satisfy the reader of the findings)
4.Sound recorder (for documenting statements extracted from recorded oral interviews)
5.Data log (for data base)

TIME-FRAME:

9:00 AM – 12:00 NOOM

LOCATIONS TARGETED

4 Zones (north-south-east-west)

DATAANALYSIS
To come out with clear analysis of what had been uncovered in the exercise and what criteria can be done to improved the skills in the industrial sector and this analysis includes:

1.Findings-
The size of the workshop,building site or organisation and its organograph

The location where it is situated in Malakal-northern zone, southern zone, western zone or
eastern zone

The trade title is the craft or skill being practice

The knowledge and skills practicet is the activities found going during the time of visit

The equipment, tools and materials used the safety rules and regulation applied

2.Reflection-explain about your passed professional vocational practice that you have done and observed others doing, the success and the constraints experience
3.Data analysis table 1:
4.Finding-set an analytic format for finding out information in responds, practice and experiences in the skills mentioned:

TRADE
SKILL
ATTITUDES TOWARDS SKILL
PRACTICE
EXPERIENCE
Building construction
Brick -production

Brick production-the site for production of clay bricks need the soil be surveyed to find out the suitable site for this purpose.
The elements suitable in the clay includes silica and alumina when mix in their required proportions bring a good quality of brick.
When alumina is more than 75% of the mix; the brick may wrap and form very many cracks; so more silica need to be added ; the proportion of silica should not be less than 25% of the mix.
Experience always comes when you constantly continue to practice skills that can improve more professional practice

Bricklaying

Bricklaying- this is assembling of brick to form walls that will independent stand firm on it's own. The knowledge and skills of doing the job needs identification of the types of bonds and the principles of bonding. The tools used in this process of bonding and the knowledge used in handing the tools to bring accurate walls. The geometrical concepts of setting the wall design. Taking measurements' reading scales, units etc. setting openings with use of reveals and jambs methods .

Concreting
Concreting-functional requirements of concrete, materials used for the concrete, types of concrete, advantages and and disadvantages and qualities in concrete

Plaster work
Plaster work- principles of plaster work; types of plaster, preparation of the background, materials suitable for plaster, advantages and disadvantages.
