An instructor's manual and student activity guide on the operating room technician are provided in this set of prevocational education materials which focuses on the vocational area of health occupations. (This set of materials is one of ninety-two prevocational education sets arranged around a cluster of seven vocational offerings: agriculture, home economics, distributive education, health occupations, world of work, trade and industry, and office occupations.) The instructor's guide is organized into the following elements: title of activity, duration of activity (two to five periods), activity goals, eight instructional objectives, and activity implementation (description, materials needed, safety considerations, teacher preparation prior to class, during the class, follow-up activities, and a question sheet to be duplicated). The student activity guide provides step-by-step instructions (narrative and illustrations) for completing each instructional objective (e.g., put on a pair of gloves without touching the outside of the gloves). At the end of each set of instructions is a student check point (evaluation activity). An occupational description for a surgical technician concludes the document. (JH)
