The development of competency training kits for water pumps control systems in high-rise buildings

Abstract

This article aims to 1) create and evaluate the effectiveness of a competency training set for the water pump motor control system in high-rise buildings, 2) compare the learners' competency scores after learning with a 60% benchmark and 3) study the learners' satisfaction with the competency training set. The research design was quantitative, using the ADDIE Model as the research framework. The research area was the Electrical Engineering Department of Si Phraya Vocational College. The sample consisted of 11 students from the short-term vocational course, batch 214, selected randomly. The research instruments included with 1) the competency training set for the water pump motor control system in high-rise buildings, 2) a competency assessment form and 3) a satisfaction assessment form. The data were analyzed by using percentages, means, standard deviations, and one-sample t-tests. The results of the research revealed that 1) the quality of the competency training set was at a high level, with an average of 4.31, a standard deviation of 0.46, and the efficiency of the competency training set was 81.45/81.64, 2) the competency scores post-learning using the training set were significantly higher than  60% criterion with statistical significance at the .05 level, with an average of 81.55 and a standard deviation of 9.14, and 3) The learners' satisfaction with using  the competency training set was at the highest level, with an average of 4.56 and a standard deviation of 0.30. The satisfaction was at the highest level. The findings from this research are beneficial to the development of learners' competency and can be used to evaluate competency effectively.
