National Certificate II Institutional Assessment for Electrical installation Maintenance: Basis for Intervention Program

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Mandated by Republic Act 10533 also known as Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2012 known as the K12 Education Curriculum, students are required to enter Grade 11 and 12 and choose a track according to their interest. One of these tracks is Technical Vocational and Livelihood (TVL) which enables students to take a National Certificate level II (NCII). It is a certification honored even outside the country. The purpose of this study is to ensure the preparedness of Grade 12 students and pass Institutional Assessment that will help them gain confidence before the actual assessment.

METHODS

The research design of the study was descriptive which organizes, tabulates, depicts, and describes the data collection. The sampling used in this action research was convenient and non-random. The data was taken through the conduct of institutional assessment to 35 Grade 12 students currently enrolled in EIM.

RESULTS

The study revealed that Grade 12 EIM students who underwent an Institutional Assessment and considering they have already become skilled in the identified least mastered area/s, they are prepared to take the National Certification II Assessment for Electrical Installation Maintenance in TESDA accredited centers. Six out of 35 students got a not satisfactory rating for oral questioning and actual test based on the assessment of internal assessor while 10 out of 35 students acquired a not satisfactory rating for oral questioning and 3 out of 35 in the actual test as assessed by an external assessor. To address the findings of this study, teacher-made activity sheets and handouts were utilized in order to grasp the least mastered competency/ies determined by the assessors. The researchers would like to suggest the creation of another instrument for Institutional Assessment that will enumerate clearly the least mastered competencies.

DISCUSSIONS

After the conduct of an Institutional Assessment, students were able to know their level of preparedness in National Certification II Assessment for Electrical Installation Maintenance, this can also help students gain confidence before the actual assessment.
