Android-based Assessment Tool for Technology and Livelihood Education
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Technology and Livelihood Education
Abstract
This study aimed to develop an Android-based mobile application in Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) subject for incoming Grade 9 students to determine their preferred specialization based on their skills and interests to address the mismatch of skills acquired which is required in the job market. The application underwent validation by 18 experts using ISO 9621-1 and Learning Resource Management and Development System (LRMDS) standards and was found to be 100% compliant with the set guidelines. The study also determined the significant difference between the respondents' (223) pre-preferred and post-preferred TLE specializations. It was noted that there was a significant difference in the preferred specializations employing t-test which was found at (t=3.894**, p<0.01) with 99% significance level. Though it appeared that upon using the pre-preferred compared with the developed application TLE-Z, no changes had been observed in their preferred specializations (CSS, Technical Drafting and Food Processing), however, it could be noted that the inclination of students were evidently more spread across the 8 specializations. It was recommended that the developed application must be adopted in the entire division for the greater benefit of the intended users upon approval of the experts.
