To assist cement mason instructors in providing comprehensive instruction to their students, this curriculum guide treats both the skills and information necessary for cement masons in commercial and industrial construction. Ten sections are included, as follow: related information, covering orientation, safety, the history of cement, and applying for a job; concrete materials; tools and equipment; placing concrete; concrete finishes for buildings; concrete finishes for highways; curing and protection; blueprint reading and estimating; surface treatment; and equipment repair. Each section is composed of one or more instructional units organized into eight parts: (1) student behavioral objectives, which state the goals of the course; (2) suggested activities outlining steps for both students and instructors to accomplish specific objectives; (3) information sheets, which provide the content necessary to meet the knowledge objectives of the unit; (4) transparency masters to reinforce the learning process; (5) job sheets, which outline the skills being taught; (6) assignment sheets for homework or classroom use (answer sheets are also included); (7) paper-pencil and performance tests constructed to measure student achievement of each objective; and (8) test answers.
