Abstract:
his study aimed to develop and evaluate a mounted power steering system as an instructional mock-up for automotive students at Marikina Polytechnic College during the 2014- 2015 academic year. Specifically, it sought answers to the questions as to how students and automotive instructors evaluate the mounted power steering system as an instructional mock- up in terms of design, structure, functionality, and safety, if there would be a significant difference in the evaluation of the two groups of respondents concerning the variables and the comments and suggestions by the evaluators to enhance the mock-up based on the study's results. The descriptive research method was employed to ensure a reliable outcome. The project, costing Php 16,015.00, was evaluated by selected automotive first-year students from Bachelor of Technical Teacher Education, Bachelor of Industrial Technology and Certificate of Technology programs and the Automotive Technology Instructors. The project received a mean rating of 4.84 from the teachers and 4.53 from the students, indicating strong agreement. Key findings suggest that a mounted power steering system mock-up can be developed using locally available materials and is highly acceptable and functional according to experts’ evaluation.
