One of a series of curriculum guides prepared for the electricity/electronics occupations cluster, this guide identifies the essentials of the appliance repair and radio and television trade as recommended by successful servicemen. An instructional program based upon the implementation of the guide is expected to prepare a student to adequately perform entry level tasks required of servicemen or to enter a post-secondary technical or apprenticeship program in appliance repair and radio and television where additional depth can be realized. Trade tasks or information are listed in chart form in separate content sections for appliance repair and radio and television. Lists in each section are under such subheadings as safety, special tools and materials, warranties and service policies, merchandising and warehousing, basic thermodynamics, test and measuring equipment, and labor and replacement/repair estimating. Space is provided on the charts to record for each item the date completed, teaching methods used, and teaching materials used. Also included are a list of teacher responsibilities, sources of occupational information, recommended tests and references, and a chart depicting the total electricity/electronics occupational curriculum. A typical application for employment and a sample trade and industrial education injury report are appended. (HD)
