Course abstract

Basic techniques and technological methods of weaving, making of textile accordingly composition and chosen technologies and/or materials are learned in this study course. Themes in study course program are related with weaving technologies of fade bands, plaited belts and ribbons, techniques of shuttle, carpet and tapestry started with choice and preparation of weaving material, preparatory works for weaving till working out and finishing of textile. The gained cognitions in study course strengthen comprehension and promote to use creatively gained knowledge of weaving art.

Learning outcomes and their assessment

• Knowledge, understanding of basic weaving technologies, technological techniques and the process of it, product making capabilities, the nature, structure and versatility of the weaving art industry. Tests 1, 2, 3, 4.
• Skills to analyse, compare and evaluate weaving techniques and its process; to create, work independently, creatively and freely using different weaving technologies, materials; to solve problems, to develop self-confidence, to develop individuality, to gain experience of creative activity and self-expression of personality, to be aware of their interests and abilities, to see possibilities of using experience gained in study course in everyday life, career etc. Laboratory works, development of methodological materials.
• Competence: is able to recognize, use, select and compare weaving technologies; to independently produce the intended product; to understand, evaluate, explain and creatively implement the content of weaving teaching in pedagogical activity; to organize the lessons of the home economics and technology subject in general education within the topics of textiles and their technologies.

Criteria for Evaluating Learning Outcomes

The assessment of the study course depends on the cumulative assessment of the development of the laboratory work, the tests and the methodological material.
The evaluation of laboratory works shall be based on the qualitative assessment of the 10-point system derived from the total score for the individual rating positions:
• systematic work (max 2): realizing the original idea (0-1), timeliness, including attending classes (0-1);
• technical quality of work (max 5): technological card (0-2), patterns (0-3);
• colour matching (0-0.5),
• composition (max 2): technological card (0-1), patterns (0-1);
• Originality (0-0.5).
