Abstract:
This study therefore aims to developed and determine efficiency of training package, an experimental set and training delivery on the topic: The Controller Design of Electric Induction Motor Drive. The training delivery assisted of CLCT (Collaborative and Learning Center Training) following ADDIE (Analyze-Design-Develop-Implement-Evaluate) approach. The course was designed based on the data received from the task analysis of industries workers, findings from previous research studies, existing curriculum, comments from experts and training needs of electric drives teachers. It was expected that the package would help to increase the knowledge and skills of the participants upon the completion of the training. To reach this goal, four learning centers were set up with three main centers and one reserved center. The research instruments included (1) the experimental set of motor drive control consisting of LabVIEW program, DAQ, Inverter and 0.375 kW three phase Induction motor (2) instructional manual, consisting of the learning packages are the design of PID controller, Fuzzy controller, and Hybrid controller topics, guidelines for learning activities, and teacher manual (3) pre and post tests and final test (4) the questionnaire of satisfaction and (5) in-class observation form. The sample was 30 technical teachers who teach in electric drive and control system. The results show that the training package yielded the efficiency of three learning centers was 82.75/82.17 in terms of knowledge and 86.98/85.60 in terms of skills, over the standard 80/80. The technical teachers had more knowledge with the statistical significance of 0.05. Moreover, the investigation of learner attitudes towards the package revealed high level of satisfaction.
