Correlates of Efficient Performance in Mechanical Drawing
Keywords:
Correlation, Performance, Mechanical DrawingAbstract
This study attempted to analyse the correlates of efficient performance in mechanical drawing among junior high school students of Samar State Polytechnic College; Catbalogan, Samar by sex. This study employed the analytical-descriptive method of research using the Prescribe Rating System for Mechanical Drawing as an instrument in gathering data. The sources of data were the six drawing plates, (plates #4 to 9). The only pair of variables among the females with significant relationship is speed and attitude with computed r value of .81 which is greater than the table value of .36 at .05 level of significance and 28 df. Hence, the rejection of the second null hypothesis relative to this pair of variables. This high relationship between speed and attitude means that the students achieved a high rating in speed as in attitude. The significant relationship among most of the four factors of efficient performance leads to a conclusion of generalization that the ability of male students in the four criteria is homogeneous except in speed and neatness as well as accuracy and attitude. Therefore, those who are good in one factor are also good in most of the other factors. All drawing teachers and shop teachers should closely supervise their students while working on their plates or projects and if possible, should not allow students to take their drawing or unfinished project home. Drawing classes should be provided with adequate instruments and facilities by the school to ensure efficient performance.
