Development and Validation of a Competency-Based Learning Package in Plumbing NC II

Abstract

The study aimed to develop a competency-based learning package in Plumbing NC II. Specifically, it determined the validity of the learning package in terms of objectives, activities, instructional characteristics, evaluative characteristics, and physical make-up. The descriptive-development methodology was used in the study. In addition, content validation was conducted by three experts in Outcome-Based Education. Results showed that the material generally meets the standards of a Competency-Based Learning Material. It has a very high level of validity particularly along with its objectives, activities, instructional characteristics, evaluative characteristics and physical make-up. The developed competency-based learning package is strongly recommended for use in training students for the Plumbing NC II assessment. The use of the learning package may reduce the workload of the trainers while students are engaged to self-directed learning and to ensure to cover all the competencies that shall be developed by the students.
