In the past, many statements of objectives have "been
made. With these guidelines in mind, one can take a more
objective view of the most recent objectives. At a time
when new discoveries and developments in technology and the
sciences are making the lag in education even greater,
developing objectives for industrial arts needs real thinking
and reasoning.
Many of the objectives and goals of industrial arts in
the past were either repetitious or geared to the popular
theories of the psychology of the time. The result of this
thinking was that the program and its justification were
open to criticism when such theories were either generally
abandoned or simply discarded in favor of newer or more
exciting theories of the learning process.
An analysis of industrial arts goals developed in the
past reveals that many of the goals were unrealistic and
untenable; others controversial. To provide a sound program
of industrial arts, clear, realistic goals are essential.
The following five are advocated by the American Vocational
Association and are believed to be unique to industrial arts:
1. Develop an insight and understanding of
industry and its place in our culture.
2. Discover and develop talents, aptitudes,
interests and potentialities of individuals
for the technical pursuits and applied sciences.
3. Develop an understanding of industrial
processes and the practical application of
scientific principles.
