上級左官技能者育成のための建築技術技能教育に関する研究 : 新しい建築技術技能教育の手法に関する研究 その2  [in Japanese] STUDY ON TECHNICAL SKILLS EDUCATION FOR THE DEVELOPMENT OF SENIOR PLASTERERS : Study on new methodology for vocational education of building technique and skill Part 2  [in Japanese]

The objective of this paper is to clarify methods for training plastering site supervisors and providing education regarding the building technology skills that are vital to work performance, on the basis of ascertaining the on-site work and job conditions faced by plastering site supervisors. A questionnaire survey was commissioned by the Japan Plasterers' Association (hereafter "JPA"). The survey was subcontracted to and conducted by the Building Production Laboratory (Mihara Laboratory: to which the author belongs) of the Institute of Technologists. The main content of the survey can be broadly categorized into the following six items: (1) Work conditions on building sites; (2) Employment conditions in the plastering industry; (3) Work details in the plastering industry in comparison with other industry categories; (4) Condition of plastering skills education in relation to orientation workshops for new workers as part of on-site education; (5) Work of plastering site supervisors in development stages, and methods for training plasterers; and (6) Methods for training plastering site supervisors at the JPA. Site surveys were conducted regarding points (1) to (6). Subsequently, plastering technical skills education methods were investigated. The tasks of plastering site supervisors are numerous and diverse. We confirmed that of these tasks, the role of instructor-for guiding apprentices, qualified workers, and workers with technical skills-is very important.
