Industrial Arts students of the Department of Technology Teacher Education, College of Education, 缅北禁地-Iligan Institute of
Technology, A. Bonifacio Ave. Tibanga, Iligan City.
This developed table was evaluated by fifty (50) respondents composed of forty (40) students and ten (10) teachers via online
evaluation. Then, the designed table was assessed based on the following criteria: usability, portability, aesthetics, and safety.
The results were analyzed by the use of descriptive statistics such as weighted mean and standard deviation. A five-point scale
was used to indicate the respondents' evaluation.
The innovation introduced in this study is the transformable characteristic of a table that can be used not only as a table but
one which could be transformed into an instructional board. As a table, it can be used as a teacher's table as well as a
demonstration table and as an instructional board it can be used as a whiteboard or a projector screen for multimedia
presentations. Moreover, this instructional board can be used as a holder for trainer sets in electrical wiring installation and
full-wave rectifier wiring.
Results of the evaluation of this transformable table shows that both teachers and students gave a rating of excellent in terms
of its usability, portability, aesthetics, and safety, which was described as highly acceptable. It implies that this transformable
table can be utilized as an instructional tool or equipment that will aid teachers and students in the teaching and learning
process in Industrial Arts. Moreover, this can be of great help to teachers in making instruction more engaging for students as
it simulates real scenarios even those that are outside the classroom scenarios. |
