The Correlation of Metal Craft Art in the Performance of Students of Shielded Metal Arc Welding in Sinalhan Senior High School S.Y 2018-2019.

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The General objective of this study is to know the correlation of metal craft art in the performance of the students of Shielded Metal Arc Welding. In the year 2017, Sinalhan Senior High School implemented different clubs and the metal craft art club is included. Unfortunately, this club is ended in the year 2018 for some reasons but the researchers want to bring back some benefits of this club that a student can be attained to be competent because metal craft art can help a students to enhance their skills and performance and to make a creative product.

METHODS

Using a correlative research under descriptive method, we conducted a correlation of metal craft art to the performance of the students. By using a pure random sampling technique where the selection is completely arbitrary and a given number of the total population is selected completely at random, twenty six Shielded Metal Arc Welding Students respond to three sets of variable questionnaire which the variables are the level of competency, interest and creativity.

RESULTS

The students of Shielded Metal Arc Welding are competent to their performance with a highest mean of 1.81. The study showed that the level of interest regarding to metal craft art is positive which means that the students are interested in metal craft art and it can affect their performance in Shielded Metal Arc Welding while the level of creativity are neutral. These results shows that two out of three determinants are significantly predict the significant relationship of metal craft art to the performance of the Shielded Metal Arc Welding. These determinants are the level of competency and level of interest.

DISCUSSIONS

Based on the results, in the first variable "Level of Competency”, Students are competent because their performance are improving while learning and enjoying Metal Craft Art. In the second variable "level of interest", students have a positive interpretation with regard to their interest in Metal Craft Art as well as to their specialized subject which indicate that students generally have favorable level of interest for both and for the"level of creativity", most of the students were interpreted as neutral regarding to their level of creativity in Metal Craft Art Welding which indicates that the students have moderately favorable level of creativity and with that result the students must enhanced their creativity skills through constant practice guided by the teacher in Shielded Metal Arc Welding.
