The "A-Type Electrainer Boards" Instructional Material

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The Department of Education continuously improves itself to better serve its stakeholders. This is to protect and promote the right of every Filipino to quality education. Teachers are tasked to prepare appropriate varied experiences with the aid of localized instructional materials to meet the demands of the learners.

METHODS

This innovation helps the TLE-EIM teachers address the scarcity of Instructional materials and practical workshop areas problems in the school. It enables students to undergo hands-on and practical experiences for honing their maximal skills in the field of electricity. It has a mounted Back-to-back board for maximum utilization with electrical units attached on each board and it is movable (From room to other room) by its four feet stands. Electrical units are mounted strategically to allow students to perform from basic to specialized electrical circuits in the spiral progression model of learning based on the ability level of the students. This instructional material is applicable in the fields of Science and Technology(S&T) and Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) subjects. People with an interest in learning the electrical system may also be benefited by this gadget.

RESULTS

Students in Electrical Installation and Maintenance have familiarized on the commonly used electrical circuits since they were able to experience hands-on activities in connecting electrical circuits. They were able to display appropriate safety practices in dealing with electrical works. The knowledge, skills, and attitude gained by the students contributed to 1) the 100% passing rate of our TVL-EIM students in the National Competency Level II and 2) trained students were able to compete up to the National Festival of Talents (NFOT).

DISCUSSIONS

The results proved that localized Instructional Materials are of great help in the teaching-learning process. Innovations helped teachers adapt to the demands of scarcity problems. Learning must be continuous as Technology enhances tremendously, hence this innovation needs to be constantly upgrading. The proponent is contemplating another innovation to meet the demand of the changing world.
