Introduction

Competency in Electrical Installation is important through this the student can be

considered either competent or not competent.Nowadays with the program of TESDAs

assessment they will train students in their program to help students to have National

Competency Certificate of NCI,NCII,NCIII and up to level IV. Now that we are in a 21 st

century students must be competent and have a well developed skill.It is such an

advantage for the student having a NC certificate with it they can be easily employed in

their specific job.As a future TLE teacher having a NC certificate will help the researcher

to developed the skills of the students because of the background knowledge acquired

from the training.

As a focus subject the researcher choose electricity it is based on his experience as a

student, modules or any given hand outs is one of the problems that most students

encounter. Also most students experience difficulties in learning the electricity subject.

When students are having some of hands-on activity like the wire joints or some written

activity in connecting electrical circuit it takes a lot of time for a teacher to impart

knowledge on what electricity is all about and on how to do specific task in learning

electricity.

Electricity can be considered from two points of view. The scientist is concerned

with what happens in an electric system and seeks to explain its mysteries. The engineer

accepts that electricity is there and seeks to make use of its properties without the need to

fully understand them.( Electrical Technology 6th Edition by Hughes)

 This module will be focused on electricity competency tasks for example (How to

connect Parallel Circuit) in the module there is a indicated pattern on how you will

connect the wire that will help students guide them as a reviewer and also other activity

like how to assemble electrical appliance plug in the proposed task-based module there

are steps on how to do Assembling Appliances Plug and also the material that they are

going to use in each specific task. The tools that required to be use in doing specific job

in electricity. When students havent followed the teacher they can read it again through

the module so that it can make the students learning easily.

As a future teacher of TLE Subjects through this research the researcher hope that he

can make the learning of his students to be more effective also by this research it can

easily give knowledge about the subject and it can help to facilitate class easily, within

this module it will also help students to be competitive that they can use their knowledge

from this module in their Electrical Installation and Maintenance (NCII).

Keating (2012) stated that Competency Based Training is a training that is designed

to allow the learner to demonstrate their ability to do something.

Also CBT was used to assess the learners capacity to do the work in order to

determine if they meet the industry standards now that Philippines is now implementing

K-12 Curriculum this CBT will help students to be ready in their chosen fields,
Background of the Study

Students experience suffering in studying Electricity subjects nowadays and also

without the help of the modules it will make the students more suffer in learning

electricity. Through this study it will focus on how the students and Competency -Based

activities will make their work easily, safely, and it consists of the steps on how to do that

specific work.

With the help of Competency-based module students learning will be easy and so

that they can always follow the everyday teaching of the teacher. Also with this module it

can lessen the work of the teacher on explaining each task of students to be done in that

day so when students have questions in the task that they have to do it will be easy for

them they will just read the task in their module.

Many of students said that Electricity is difficult for them and also from the

experience of the researcher that Electricity is also difficult.Most of them cant follow the

task that given to them by the teacher easily also if the students have questions it

consume time for the teacher instead of teaching their new discussion or new task also

when the task is difficult it takes about two meetings to finish it.

Also in our task we must have a specific tool to bring but not all of us can afford or

dont have a tool to bring so through this module there is a specific tool to be used in each

task that will help the student to be prepared on what tool he/she will bring. In our

examination some of us have a reviewer but not complete so the result most students got

lower scores so through this proposed performance based module for electricity it will

serve as a reviewer for the students that can also help them to study in advance.
Objectives of the Study

This study is aimed to design the Competency-based module packet in teaching

Electrical Installation and Maintenance

Specifically, this study sought to answer the following questions:

1.) Assess the level of Performance of students studying Electrical Installation and

Maintenance

2.) Determine the level of Acceptability of Module Packet in terms of:

Content
Creativity
Clarity
Appeal to target users

3.) Develop a Module Packet for Competency-based Assessment in teaching Electrical

Installation and Maintenance

Significance of the Study

 This study would be beneficial to the following:

For Students,It will help students to do different task in electricity to be more easily

because of the guide that is been indicated in the Competency-based module. It can also

serve them as a reviewer if they have some examination or activities to be done inside the

classroom. Through this students can improve their abilities and learning habits and they

will be prepared for their NC for Electrical Installation and Maintenance.

For Teachers,In the everyday teaching , this module will help teachers to make the

students learning easily also this module can serve as a guide for teacher on what he/she

will be going to tackle through each day of teaching.

For Researcher,As a future teacher this can help me to guide my future students if I will

be going to teach Electricity subject. Also it can make my teaching more effective for my

future students because I already had the knowledge what Electricity is all about.

For Administrator,Through this research administrator will get an ideas in how will

they be going to apply modules as a kit in teaching electricity and they can easily manage

or facilitate the learning in school.

For Future Researcher,This study will guide the future researcher in conducting their

study. Through this it will build their wide range of knowledge by providing necessary

information.
