Development and Acceptability of Learning Module in SHIELDED METAL ARC WELDING (SMAW) NC I

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Because of the shortage of DepED-issued instructional materials or teaching aids, the teacher relies heavily on different references in which sometimes leads to confusion due to the differences of contents. This is a common problem that educators are encountering for those schools that offer SMAW NC I -TVL Track.

METHODS

The study will utilize the three methods of research such as experimental, descriptive and developmental methods. In an experimental research design, a layout of the methods will empower the researcher to test her hypothesis by achieving substantial conclusions about connections amongst independent and dependent variables. Descriptive research is a study proposed to delineate the members in an exact way. All the more basically, the descriptive design is about representing individuals who partake in the study. The motivation behind developmental research is to survey changes over a developed timeframe.

RESULTS

Based on the result of the administered pretest and posttest, the experimental group obtained high MPS result as compared to the control group which greatly showed the effectiveness of the developed Learning Module on SMAW NC1. There is a significant difference in the level of performance of the respondents in the experimental and control group as revealed by the pretest and posttest results with respect to the different competencies. When it comes to the level of acceptability of the LM with respect to the Layout, design, Content, and Readability, the result showed very high acceptability from the respondents.

DISCUSSIONS

The result showed the developed Learning Module in SMAW NC1 found to be effective when used by the Grade 12 TVL-SMAW learners of Catalino D. Salazar National High School-Senior High School.
