Development of a Competency-Based Training Package on the Installation and Programming of Automatic Control in Industrial Applications According to Thai-Meister

Abstract

This research on the development of a competency-based training package on the installation and programming of automatic control in industrial applications according to Thai-Meister standards aims to: 1) develop a competency-based training package, 2) determine the quality of the competency-based training package, and 3) determine the effectiveness of a the competency-based training package. The sample group was 10 of senior students in the faculty of technical education, electronics and telecommunication engineering major, Rajamangala University of Technology Thanyaburi, by choosing a specific sample. The tools used in the research consisted of 1) training plan, 2) training manual, 3) teaching materials and teaching aids as information sheets, job sheets, installation practical sets, simulation program, online PTT, 4) achievement test, 5) performance assessment form, and 6) training package quality assessment form. The statistics used to analyze the data were mean, standard deviation, Index of Item Objective Congruency (IOC), and the training set efficiency using the E₁/E₂ formula.

The results showed that there were: 1) the overall of content quality was at a good level ( = 4.16,  = .69), 2) the teaching aids quality was at a good level ( = 4.19,  = .58) and 3) the effectiveness of a training package was 85.40/81.30 which was consistent with our hypothesis that E₁/E₂.
