Development and Evaluation of Transparent House Model as Instructional Tool for Industrial Arts Students of Quirino State University

Abstract

This study developed and evaluated a Transparent Plumbing System House Model as an instructional tool for teaching plumbing concepts in Industrial Arts education. The study was guided by the ADDIE instructional design framework, incorporating the stages of Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation. The model was designed to address students' difficulties in visualizing residential plumbing systems due to the concealed nature of pipes and components in actual structures. A developmental research approach was employed, involving 15 plumbing professionals and 15 Industrial Arts students who evaluated the model based on design and structure, functionality, sustainability, and instructional potential. Grounded in Constructivist and Experiential Learning theories, the model provided learners with hands-on and visual learning experiences. Findings aimed to determine the model's level of acceptability and identify any significant differences between expert and student evaluations. The study contributes to enhancing technical-vocational instruction through innovative, practical, and context-based learning resources.
