Development and acceptability of electrical wiring trainer board - 2015 - xi, 39 leaves : colour illustrations ; 28 cm
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY: This study aimed to develop and determine the level of acceptability of electrical wiring trainer board which served as an instructional material in teaching electricity subject for circuit connections and circuit conditions. The variables on acceptability of the electrical wiring trainer board are the design, usefulness, modifiability, durability, safety, maintenance and marketability. The study used three groups of respondents; twenty (20) grade 9 students, six (6) high school teachers and five (5) experts. Mean and standard deviation were used to determine the level of the developed electrical wiring trainer board in terms of design, usefulness, modifiability, safety, durability, maintenance and marketability. One way analysis variance was used to identify the significant difference between the perceptions of the respondents on the level of acceptability of the developed trainer board. It was statistically found out that there is significant difference among the evaluation made by the experts, end users and students on the develop electrical wiring trainer board in terms of design, durability and maintenance and marketability since the obtained p-values of 0.00, 0.006 and 0.003 did not exceed at 0.05 level of significance. Thus, the null hypothesis is rejected. The evaluation made by the experts, end-users and student respondents differs significantly I terms of design, durability, maintenance and marketability of the developed electrical wiring trainer board. Based from the conclusions drawn, the following were recommended: the teachers in electricity are encouraged to use the developed electrical wiring trainer board in teaching circuit connections and conditions and a parallel study may be conducted giving consideration on the improvement of the electrical wiring trainer board.
