Supplementary Materials in Teaching Shielded Metal Arc Welding in Division of Batangas City

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Technical and Vocational program plays an important role in raising senior high school students toward employment and entrepreneurship. Shielded Metal Arc Welding will be effective in proportion as it trains individuals directly and in thinking and manipulative habits required in the occupation itself. Thus, the curriculum instruction, tools, materials and equipment and the work environment in the school must conform. This study proposes a supplementary material needed in teaching Shielded Metal Arc Welding In Division Of Batangas City. Specifically, it describes the demographic profile of the respondents, available instructional materials used by the learner and learning module for Shielded Metal Arc Welding be described in terms of content, learning deliveries, and assessment

METHODS

The researcher applied the descriptive method to determine the characteristics of SMAW teachers and their utilization of supplementary materials in teaching SMAW. The respondents of the study are the SMAW teachers in Division of Batangas City. The researcher used a questionnaire in dealing with instructional materials available in the school which can be utilized in teaching SMAW.

RESULTS

Data shows that SMAW teachers are 26-30 years of age and aims to ensure continuous learning which will result to increase students' performance. However, seventy percent of the SMAW teachers have not yet taken up units in graduate school. It is revealed that the instructional materials meet the purpose of its construction to provide application based activity in welding subjects.

DISCUSSIONS

Learning by doing" is the basic foundation of Shielded Metal Arc Welding Program. The content of the learning module meets the purpose of its construction to provide application base activity in the subjects. Aligned with the standards of K-12 curriculum, the content composed of facts and information that are useful in the teaching and learning process. The learning deliveries for applied for the module of shielded arc welding are highly evident. Mastery learning contains the six level of Bloom's taxonomy and levels of understanding which include knowledge, comprehension, application, analysis, synthesis and evaluation. The proposed Supplementary Materials in Teaching Shielded Metal Arc Welding is intended to enhance student learning in welding are design to gain greater interest in the subject.
