CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Introduction

The ultimate goal of vocational technical education training is for the

acquisition of knowledge, attitude and practical skills for sustainable

development. The training of vocational technical education students is based

on the production of goods and services that are not only relevant to

themselves but to the society stated that the acquisition of life-long practical

skills calls for effective and efficient teaching strategies, appropriate

evaluation methods and utilization of standard teaching materials; tools,

machines, and equipment to ensure the production of desired students with

practical skills. Other requirements include training manuals and availability of

qualified teachers with experiences. However, such categories of staff are

also in high demand in the labor market, but could be suitably motivated for

part time teaching in technical colleges. Posted that one of the philosophies of

occupatiorial education is pragmatism which stresses practical skill acquisition

at vocational technical college level of education. For this to be achieved, a

more serious approach of instruction and exposure are desired to improve the

present trend in Vocational Technical Education (VTE).

The students who undergo training ‘n Electrical Installation

understanding in diverse skills in the trades as expected to posses’ skills for

design, development, production, excellence in installation of electrical

management and utilization of trending machines and equipment, maintain

nerve electrical/electronic devices and circuits.

1
 The acquisition of skills especially in Electrical Installation and

Maintenance trades would undoubtedly leaded to job creation and self-

reliance as lack of employment is an evidence of unsaleable skills possessed

by technical college graduates. This study was conduct and determined the

Electrical Installation and Maintenance skills of the students. Learning is the

process of acquisition of knowledge (practical and theoretical) which is

education.

The present study aimed to find an appropriate method to inform senior

high school students to correctly select their academic field of study and their

intentions

Learning is the process of acquisition of knowledge (practical and

theoretical), Which is one of the goals of education. Education is the

acquisition of appropriate skill and development of mental, physical, social

abilities, competencies and as the preparation for the individual to live and

contribute to the development of the society.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Related Literature

According to Kumazhege et al (2014) he conclude that there are

some factor which affect the academic and technical skills of the leamer.

According to the perception of their technical teacher’s Adamawa Nigeria.

They suggest that their government must give their students adequate

facilities, laboratories and develop the teacher-training program of technical

teachers.

According to Moses (2020), The aim of this study was to assess the

effects of reflective inquiry teaching method on students’ retention ability in

domestic installation module in technical colleges of Yobe State, Nigeria. In

guiding the study, two research questions and two hypotheses were

formulated in line with the specific objectives. A pretest–posttest

nonequivalent control group quasi experimental research design was adopted

for the study. Four intact classes from 4 technical colleges were selected to

give a sample size of 88. Domestic Installation Retention Test (DIRT) was

used to generate data for the study. The instrument was validated by three

validates from the department of Electrical Technology Education, Modibbo

Adama University of Technology, Yola. To determine the reliability of the

instrument, Cronchbach Alpha reliability method was used and a reliability

coefficient of 0.84 was obtained. Mean statistic was used to answer the two

research questions of the study while the two null hypotheses of the study

5
were tested using t-test and ANCOVA at 0.05 level of significance. Findings of

the study revealed among others that reflective inquiry teaching method

enhances retention abilities in students when used in teaching domestic

installation. It further revealed that male and female students’ retention in

domestic installation was high when taught using reflective inquiry teaching

method. The study concluded that using reflective inquiry teaching method to

teach students of electrical installation and maintenance works trade in Yobe

State enhances the students’ retention ability which is visible in the retention

test scores. The study recommended among others that teachers should

employ reflective inquiry teaching method while engaging students in more

work that will enable them develop critical thinking abilities.

According to Ohanu (2020), This paper investigates behavioural

factors as a mediator between resources and entrepreneurial intentions

among electricalinstallation and maintenance works (EIMW) students in

technical colleges in Nigeria. The study used different approaches toanalyse

the data collected and structural equation models were used in the empirical

analysis. The study found out that the moreaccess EIMW students have to

financial resources and tools and equipment, the more positive their attitude,

perceived behaviouralcontrol and perceived efficacy but not subjective norms.

Also, the more positive the students attitude towards starting a newbusiness,

the higher their entrepreneurial intentions. This study stimulates the Technical

and Vocational institutions to seekcollaboration between institutions and

industry to bridge the gap between theory and practice through industrial

training. It showsthat access to resources stimulates students’ behaviours

6
towards entrepreneurial intentions and it is mediated by attitudes, subjective

norms, perceived efficacy and perceived behavioural control.

According to Ohanu and Shodipe (2020),Extending the theory of

planned behaviour and the perspective of available resources, the purpose of

this study is to expatiate the influence behavioral antecedents of available

resources on electrical installation and maintenance work students’ (EIMW)

entrepreneurial intentions (EIs) in technical colleges. The study adopted a

multistage sampling technique to select samples for the study. Data collected

were analyzed using structural equation models in the empirical analysis. The

study showed that attitude, subjective norms, perceived behavioral control

and perceived efficacy are behavioural antecedents that can be manipulated

by exogenous factors to enhance EIMW students’ EIs. This study stirs the

government and other education agencies on the need to strengthen the

technical institutions through adequate funding, employment of skilled

personnel and provision of up-to-date types of machinery and equipment to

help the students to compete globally. Therefore, adequate application of

available resources will foster positive behaviors of EIMW students towards

establishing their business venture.

According to Astrid et al (2020), The research discusses the

achievement of four competencies in electrical installation for vocational

education students of electrical engineering: planning, preparing, installing,

and testing competencies in the electrical installation fields that must be

achieved by each student. The learning process is carried out with the help of

project-based practice modules for each student. Validated performance

assessment rubrics are used as data collection instruments to measure the

7
level of competency achievement. The research subjects are 18 students who

took part in the domestic electrical installation practice learning process. The

aim of this research is to determine the level of student achievement in four

competencies by using a project-based learning model. The results show that

the total average of the achievement values for four competencies as a whole

is 87.6, where separate scores for the competencies of planning, preparation,

implementation, and testing are 84.8, 87.1, 91.3, and 87 respectively. It can

be concluded that the implementation of project-based learning models is

effective for students to achieve all four electrical installation competencies.

According to Pereyras (2020), An electrical wiring installation trainer

provides the students’ learning experience and appreciation of the subject and

course and for the professors’ demonstrations and evaluation of students’

performance during laboratory time. This study utilized a developmental type

of research. The trainer board was 48 inches by 48 inches by ¾ inch marine

plywood. It was cost-effective, space-efficient and portable. It contained circuit

breaker, plurality of utility boxes, a plurality of junction boxes, a plurality of

single switches, plurality of three-way switches, plurality of convenience

outlets, plurality of base plates, plurality of receptacles, a plurality of Light

Emitting Diode (LED) Bulbs, plurality of flexi-hoses, and plurality of u-clamps.

All the devices were totally exposed for easy installation and familiarization. It

was equipped with a low current circuit breaker to facilitate safe operations

and eliminate damages to all the devices. Was capable of handling a

residential-like, commercial-like and industrial-like electrical wiring installation,

troubleshooting, and commissioning. The electrical wiring installation trainer

was operated at 220VAC (Volts-Alternating Current) power supply and

8
supported with the instructional module in electrical wiring installation.

Demonstration, interview and consultation with the faculty members of the

College of Technology, Pangasinan State University (PSU) Lingayen Campus

teaching Bachelor of Industrial Technology (BIT) major in Electrical

Technology, the said utility model can perform all the activities listed in the

module in electrical wiring installation which is parallel to the actual building

wiring installation. An electrical wiring installation trainer was granted an

Industrial Design (ID) patent by the Intellectual Property Office of the

Philippines while still waiting for subsequent formality examination report as a

pending application for a Utility Model (UM) patent by the same office.

According to Ohanu and Shodipe (2021), With a theory of planned

behaviour (TPB) framework, this study examined how the link between

resources and behavioural factors influence the entrepreneurial intentions of

electrical installation and maintenance work (EIMW) students. It showed how

available resources, which are defined as those controlled by the technical

institutions but are accessible by the students, influence their behaviour and

consequently their entrepreneurial intention. Different approaches are used in

the study to analyse the primary data collected from EIMW students and an

empirical analysis was done using structural equation model. The study

showed the robustness of TPB model in the face of available resource that

attitude, subjective norms and perceived behavioural control are behavioural

factors that can be positively influence by several exogenous factors to

enhance EIMW students’ entrepreneurial intentions. The results of the study

enhance the institutional training of staff and instructors at all management to

give career counselling services and be vast in the career opportunities

9
available in the field of study. This skill will motivate EIMW students towards

establishing their business

According to Aneyo et al (2021), The need to evolve an innovative

approach that can improve the practical learning outcomes among technical

college students necessitated this study. Thus, the present study investigated

the effect of innovative pedagogy integration in electrical installation and

maintenance works in technical colleges in Enugu and Lagos states of

Nigeria. The study adopted a school-based randomised Solomon Four-Group

Design involving a treatment group versus the control group. We selected

three hundred and fifteen (315) technical college year two (TC II) electrical

installation and maintenance work students who met the study’s inclusion

criteria from the technical colleges in Enugu and Lagos state of Nigeria. The

intervention consisted of eight weeks of innovative pedagogy treatment.

Electrical installation and Maintenance Achievement Test (EMAT) were used

for data collection. We used analysis of variance, t-test for independent

samples, and Chi-Squared for data analysis. The outcome indicated that

innovative pedagogy improved students’ learning outcomes and significantly

affected students’ EMAT achievement among electrical installation and

maintenance work students in the treatment group compared to their control

group counterparts. The study showed, no significant main difference across

all the control variables. Finally, there is no interaction effect of pre-test and

treatment conditions. Thus, the current study suggests that technical college

teachers should adopt innovative teaching approaches to improve students’

learning outcomes, mainly because access to teaching and learning

resources is limited.

10
 According to Adamu (2021), This study was conducted to examine the

Expose Strategies for Enhancing Teachers use of Instructional Materials for

Teaching Electrical Installation and Maintenance Work (EIMW) in Technical

Colleges in Niger state. This study therefore, used descriptive survey to

investigate the strategies for enhancing teacher’s use of instructional

materials. The population for the study was 28 and sample size was 28 based

on Research Question. The data was collected with the help of three research

assistance. The data collected was analyzed using mean and standard

Deviation. The study revealed that the Instructional materials save time,

Instructional materials Enhance teaching and learning Electrical Installation

and Maintenance work. This research study found that teaching without

instructional materials is ineffective and therefore teachers should try to utilize

the available instructional materials for effective teachings and learning.

Recommendations were made which include the government should put

efforts in providing school with the necessary instructional materials especially

those that are up to date and efficient such as computers. Seminars and in-

service trainings and workshops should be organized by the ministry of

education for inexperienced teachers to understand what instruction materials

are all about, their importance in teaching/learning and how to make use of

them, Curriculum planners and implementation and educational policy makers

should sensitize the school and teachers on the need to put more emphasis

on utilization and imprecision of resources materials in teaching of Integrated

Electrical Installation and Maintenance Work (EIMW). Teachers should be

encouraged to adapt positively to changes in material uses and not shy away

from it, they should be able to improvise either by substitution or construction;

any time the need arises.

instructional material is very significant in the cycle of teaching-learning in

developing technical skills and exercises, certainly in building and residential

wiring installation and maintenance to guarantee the learners quality

education in an industrial-like scenario. This study employed a descriptive

method of research by determining the trainers’ acceptability using the

variables–functionality, usefulness, safety, and maintenance, and it is

technical feasibly using the variables–validity, reliability, and replicability by the

electrical experts from the academe and the industry. After series of

demonstrations and technology assessments of the respondents, the said

trainer was rated by both experts from the academe particularly teaching

electrical technology and engineering, and the electrical industry acceptable

and technical feasible on all the criteria in the given instrument. With this

trainer present in the shop-laboratory, learners can develop their expertise by

accomplishing such tasks because it is along-side the real market of building

and industrial wiring installation and maintenance.

Related Studies

According to Florida University (2023), A trained electrician can spot any

issues that may be present with your wiring, outlets, switches, lights and

switchboards and fix them before they become major problems. That can also

minimize any downtime that you might experience without power as those

issues are being reserved smp ng braged electrical systems can be deadly-

can ensure that your home of business is safe. You electrical system should

be delivering a steady supply of electricity to your appliances. Too much

12
electricity and you could try an essential appliance and too little hinders them

from performing at their best. When the electrical system is well-maintained,

you’ll be able to extend the lifespan of your appliances

According to Boyer (1987), “ in taking a cours, one of the life’s major decision

is being made. A lot of time, money, and effort will be involved. The shape and

excellence of the students life may rest on the result.” In choosing a junior,

senior academic track, a student shou take a risk. F Yates, Veinotle, &

Patalano (2003) define a decision as commitment to a course of action that is

intended to produce a satisfying state of affairs. A student will choose a

course which he she will be studying throughout his her college years, and

decision making should take part and should not take for granted. The

decision of which course to take is one of the farthest decisions for a student

especially those who are graduating high school students.

Career Goals

Theoretical Framework

Although this career route may be attractive to many people, there are

some electrical technician requirements that cannot taught in a classroom or

following skills necessary to be good at the job, otherwise your safety and the

satiety of those around you may be in Jeopardy Mechanical aptitude is a skill

that can diagnose the mechanism of something like relay and magnetic

contactor. Mechanical aptitude is also important being engineer because it

can solve the mechanical problems with or without electrical equipment.

Problem-solving skills. Diagnosing and repairing electrical problems is

a large part of a technician’s job. Once the apprenticeship is over, you will be

largely on your own to respond to issues and find their solution Understanding

an overall electrical problem and investigating ways to fix it is a critical

component of this job. Learning how to identify the relative strengths and

weaknesses of alterative solutions to problems is another vital skill for a

successful career as an electrical technician.

Electrical Installation and Maintenance is one of the Vocational

Courses under the K-12. An electricity is a tradesman specializing in electrical

wiring of buildings, transmission lines, stationary machines, and related

equipment. Electricians can be employ in the installation of new electrical

components or the maintenance and repair of existing electrical infrastructure.

Electricians may also specialize in wiring ships, airplanes, and other mobile

platforms, as well as data and cable lines.

Kenya Technical Training College (KTTC) started later. It trained

teachers for technical and vocational skills to be taught in secondary schools.

Jomo Kenyatta College of Agriculture and Technology was founded. In 1988,

it was upgraded to a University college offering agriculture and engineering. A

polytechnic training youths in vocational skills was opened in Eldoret before

secondary education.
