Jeff Pereyras
Abstract
The use of mock-up trainer as an 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 variablesfunctionality, 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.
