Integrating Hydraulic Metal Frame Structure with Wood Lamination: An Innovative Technique for Educational Design

Abstract

This study aimed to develop and assess the acceptability and effectiveness of Technological Innovated Wood Lamination: A Hydraulic “A” Metal Structure for Educational Design and Purpose at Cebu Technological University- Pinamungajan Campus in Pinamungajan, Cebu, Philippines. The research utilized a quasi-experimental approach with a survey research design, where questionnaires were distributed to 40 BIT-IDT students, 10 MAVED students, and ten instructors for evaluation. The data were analyzed using total weighted points, weighted mean, and t-test. The study concluded that the Technological Innovated Wood Lamination: A Hydraulic “A” Metal Structure for Technology Instruction met the standards and performed each function accurately and effectively in construction instruction. According to the survey responses, the design, ergonomics, and safety features were highly acceptable. The study recommends adopting and implementing the Technological Innovated Wood Lamination: A Hydraulic “A” Metal Structure for Educational Design and Purpose. Furthermore, the study suggests using the User’s Manual to ensure the safety of the end-users. Overall, this study highlights the potential of the Technological Innovated Wood Lamination technology in enhancing construction technology instruction and promoting safety in the construction industry.
