Development of Learning Achievement on the Principles of Induction Motor Operation for Second-Year Vocational Certificate Students Using Bingo Game

Abstract

The purposes of this study were to: 1) compare the learning achievement on the principles of induction motor operation between pre-test and post-test of second-year Vocational Certificate students who received instruction using the Bingo game, and 2) examine the effectiveness index of using the Bingo game in teaching the principles of induction motor operation. The sample consisted of 50 second-year Vocational Certificate students in the Electrical Power Engineering program at Eastern Technology College (E-Tech), selected through cluster random sampling. The research instruments included: 1) a lesson plan, 2) a Bingo game, and 3) a learning achievement test. The statistical methods used for data analysis were the effectiveness index (E.I.) and the dependent t-test.

         The results revealed that: 1) the learning achievement on the principles of induction motor operation of students who received instruction using the Bingo game after learning (Mean = 16.00, S.D. = 3.10) was significantly higher than before learning (Mean = 11.66, S.D. = 2.89) at the .05 level of statistical significance, and 2) the effectiveness index of using the Bingo game in teaching the principles of induction motor operation was 0.5204, which is 52.04%.
