ABSTRACT
Improving student competency in fire-riser training is the goal of this report. The report analyzes the current fire-riser training process’ lack of effectiveness, determines several different reasons the current method no longer suffices, and describes the effect that insufficient training in this area may have on students’ careers opportunities and job abilities. …show more content…
In this case there is an unneeded waste of time from students having to go back and forth on videos which confuses students as to which test is being performed. In addition, the terminology used in the video lacks proper acknowledgement, explanation, and identification of individual working parts as well as there being errors in the video modules. Mr. Floyd Luinstra stated, “Students can become confused and overloaded with the obsolete videos and outline of basic technical documents that is regularly referred to students by instructors along with reference to the videos which is ultimately impeding to the progress of effective student …show more content…
The videos introduced throughout the report in the course entitled, Fire Suppression and Detection Systems. The course classification is a one thousand level course, and the classification is for students in their first year. It is very much an introductory course where students are very unfamiliar with all of the material introduced to them as well as the instructors teaching the material. The script helps to alleviate the stress of understanding instructor’s directions that the student may be unfamiliar with in terms of fire-riser testing.
Analysis of the Newly Developed Fire-Sprinkler Video Script
The second recommendation to implement would be a script serving as a video instruction guide. The video script modifies problematic issues that could arise between the steps that can stall or confuse students. These technical documents provide a clear and concise direct set of steps to follow for easier perception and learning the fire riser functionality. The implementation of a script solves serious problems by combining the operational problems for troubleshooting with a set of steps identical to the technical instruction documents.
