Level of Mastery of the Industrial Technology Students at the Pangasinan State University

Abstract

This is a descriptive analysis that measured the level of mastery of Bachelor of Industrial Technology (BIT) students majoring in Drafting Technology at PSU-LC (PSU-LC) during the second semester of the academic year 2019 - 2020 as the foundation for the proposed intervention steps to increase students' Drafting Technology mastery. The research enlisted the participation of 99 students enrolled in Drafting Technology. The key data collection instrument for this analysis was a questionnaire checklist, which was used by the researcher. To calculate and qualify the results, frequency counts, percentages, ranks, and weighted mean averages were used. Based on the findings of the report, intervention interventions were suggested to increase the degree of mastery of Drafting Technology students at PSU-LC. The Microstat computer software was used for all computations. The following were the study's main findings: according to the Demographic Profile of Students, the majority of the respondent students were males between the ages of 18 and 25. Respondents usually believed that the skills or competencies in Drafting Technology were "well learned by them, such as addressing the historical history of drafting" on the Level of Mastery of Students in Drafting Technology. Respondents usually believed that drawing competencies were "highly established among them, such as addressing the historical history of drawing" when asked about the extent of effect of the factors affecting the level of mastery of students. On the Level of Effectiveness of the Strategies Used in Teaching Drawing, for Student-Related Factors, respondents usually reported to have a "great extent" of impact on the level of their mastery in the various skills/competencies in Drafting Technology. Respondents usually believed that Instructor-Related Factors had a "moderate degree" of impact on their level of mastery in the various skills/competencies in Drafting Technology. Respondents usually believed that School-Related Factors have a modest impact on their degree of mastery in the various skills competencies in Drafting Technology. Respondents usually said that they faced "moderately severe problems in the teaching of Drafting Technology. Respondents usually believed that the remedial measures to address the problems experienced in the teaching of Drafting Technology were particularly relevant in terms of the Level of Applicability of the Remedial Measures to Address the Problems Encountered. As a result of the study, The following suggestions were made: the suggested action steps should be implemented to increase the level of mastery of Drafting Technology students at PSU-LC; Drafting Technology instructors should provide students with adequate practice exercises and mastery learning practices to master the least mastered skills or competencies in Drafting Technology; and Drafting Technology instructors should provide students with adequate practice exercises and mastery learning activities to master the least mastered skills or competencies in Drafting Technology, School administrators should provide appropriate administrative assistance to students' Drafting Technology-related events, plans, and projects in order to improve their success. School administrations should set aside funds for the maintenance and renovation of school buildings/classrooms/laboratories, as well as services and supplies. Finally, highly applicable remedial steps should be introduced and applied to resolve the issues faced by students during Drafting Technology Instruction.
