Assessing Resources for Automotive Servicing Qualification at NEMSU: A Needs-Based Analysis and Proposed Intervention
Article Sidebar
Main Article Content
Abstract
This study investigates the current state of laboratory facilities essential for Automotive Servicing qualification, focusing on the perspectives of students and instructors at North Eastern Mindanao State University. Utilizing a self-made questionnaire, data were gathered from 80 student participants and 6 instructors to assess the accessibility and usability of tools, equipment, and materials. The results indicate that the institution possesses most of the necessary resources for the qualification; however, specific gaps remain that require addressing. Participants rated the majority of tools and equipment as highly useful, with materials consistently being acknowledged as very useful. Based on these findings, the study suggests obtaining the lacking resources, implementing proper maintenance protocols, and periodically evaluating the state of existing resources. The study proposes that continuous assessment and improvement initiatives are necessary for optimizing the learning experience.
