Abstract

This research evaluated the acceptability and functionality of the improvised fire alarm control panel designed as a substitute training equipment for the Don Andres Soriano National High School Grade 12 learners in Technical-Vocational-Livelihood specializing Electrical Installation and Maintenance in preparation for the National Certificate Level II (NCII) Assessment to be conducted by the Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA). Primarily, the study employed quantitative-descriptive analysis to assess the level of acceptability and functionality of the improvised fire alarm control panel, as well as its usefulness, effectiveness, and safety as instructional material in teaching. Although there was a significant difference between learners’ and teacher-experts' ratings—particularly in aspects of usability and complexity—the control panel was deemed highly acceptable overall. Specifically, the study assessed the perceptions of both 40 learners and 10 teacher-experts, revealing that despite a significant difference in their ratings, the control panel was highly acceptable overall. Teacher-experts rated the control panel favorably, particularly in terms of functionality, effectiveness, usefulness, and safety, meeting the required standards for smoke/heat detectors, manual call points, and initiating devices. Learners also found the control panel highly acceptable, noting that it enhanced their skills in circuit connection, troubleshooting, and hands-on activities. They believed it increased their chances of passing the NCII assessment and developed their initiative as future electrical practitioners. The study highlighted the importance of addressing learners’ usability challenges, particularly in troubleshooting and circuit connection, suggesting future revisions in the design and supplementary training materials. Ultimately, the research highlighted the potential of the improvised fire alarm control panel to enhance teacher-learner engagement and practical competencies, while recommending simplifications to the design and the inclusion of more comprehensive training materials to further improve its usability for learners.
