CHAPTER 1
1.1 Overview
Electricity and tools are one of the human needs. Electricity is the
negative. Thus, the various manifestations of electricity are the result of the
handheld device that aids in accomplishing a task (Merriam,1828). That’s how the
electrical tools are discovered, because due to the used of electricity they can used tools
The researchers want to conduct this study because they observed that
every G11 EIM students affects their performances in their specialization and especially
they did not perform well in actual. Thus, they want to give a solution on how they
overcome this by the help of this study. In order for them to perform well, they need a
complete electrical tool for them to improved their ability and skills on their actual
performances. Tools and equipment for teaching are the educational resources that are
available in schools that can be used to achieved educational goals and objective
(Adeogun, 1999). These tools and equipment’s influence the academic performance of
students and prepare them for useful living. Tools and equipment are very powerful tools

big role in the study, they are the students and teacher.
The study wants to give an easy and proper solution on how to prevent lacking of
electrical tools and especially an advice which will benefit and gives an impact to the
and actual performances of students. This study will help students to increase their
ability and skill in their actual performances. Above all, it will give them a confident for
them to improve their studies about electrical, skills that they can apply in the future
especially if they will no longer continue their studies in college. They can apply the

To support the cable armor, the electrical conductors in these cables are enclosed within
a tubular jacket which is formed of a helically wound metal strip having a rectangular
cross section. In one embodiment of the invention, the individual electrical conductors
are encased within thin-wall metal tubes and filled with a compacted powdered thermal
temperature resistant plastic material to provide a cable for service at less extreme
temperatures.

1.What are the ways that you do to survive during your actual performance or
before your actual performance?
John said,
“Nakikinig ako sa mga sinasabi ng aming guro upang alam ko ang aking mga gagawin
bago at kasalukuyan ng aming actual performance activity kahit na kulang ako ng
electrical tools.”
“I’m listening to our teacher says so that we know what we will going to do before or in
the current actual performance activity even if the electrical tools are incomplete.”
Jhay said,
“Ang ginagawa ko upang ako ay maka survive ay nakikinig ako sa aming guro habang
siya ay nagtuturo."
The only thing that I do in order to survive is I pay attention to my teacher while he is
discussing.
Jem said,
“Nagrereview at sinusuri ko ang aming mga napag-aralan para tignan muli ang mga
paraan na dapat gawin upang hindi ako magkamali.”
I review and scan our lesson to look once more at the mechanics, in order for me to
avoid mistakes
Jun said,
“Una ay ang pagrereview at suriin ulit ang mga napag-aralan at nagfofocus ako upang
hindi ako magkamali sa aking mga gagawin.”
First, I review and scan our studies again, and I focused well so that I avoid committing
to my work.
Jim said,
“Ang ginagawa ko ay nagkoconcentrate upang makasurvive at hinahanda ko na agad
ang mga gagamitin kong tools at materials sa pag-iinstall.”
What I only do is concentrate so as to survive, and I prepare the tools and materials to
be used in installing in advance.

“Nakikinig nalang ako ng mabuti sa mga instruction kung ano ang dapat gawin kaya
kahit ako ay kulang sa kagamitan ang goal ko lang ay matapos ang ibinigay na gawain
ng aming guro.”
(I listen very carefully to the instruction on what to do, so even If my tools are not
enough, my only goal is to finish the activity that given to us.)
Roy said,
“Nagpopokus lang ako sa ginagawa ko tapos ginagawa ko lahat ng makakaya ko at
inilalapat ko lahat ng kaalaman na natutunan ko tungkol dito.”
I only focused on what I’m doing and I give my best to impose my knowledge that I
learned about this activity
Dem said,
“Para makasurvive ako humihiram ako ng mga kulang ko na tools sa mga kamag-anak
ko at dapat nakapokus lang sa ginagawa and especially dapat think positive lang
always.”
In order to survive I adopt some of tools to my neighbors that I’m lacking, and focused
well to the activity, especially always think positive.
2. What are the experiences that you encountered or noticed in yourself when you
do not have enough tools to perform in your actual installation?
Dem said,
“Hindi ako makapagperform ng maayos at hindi ko natatapos sa tamang oras ang
ginagawa ko at higit sa lahat nagbibigay ito ng kalituhan sakin na siyang nagdudulot ng
pag-taranta.”
I can’t perform well and I can’t finish in exact time the given activity, and it mainly gives
me a perplexity

It takes a lot of time to install especially if your tools are incomplete
Jim said,
“Ang nalaman ko ay hindi maayos at mabagal dahil sa kulang sa mga gamit o tools at
mabagal din ang pag-iinstall.”
My knowledge is not good and slow because of lack of tools and the installment is very
sustained

“Minsan natataranta ako kung ano ang dapat kong gawin at dahil doon matatagalan
ako sa paggawa.”
Sometimes I get confused to what I need to do and because of that it will cause too much

3.When your place is far away from shops, what are the effects that you
encountered and noticed in yourself? But when your place is not far away from
shops, why you are not able to buy your incomplete tools? Do you have any other
reasons? What are those?

If the store is too far and I didn’t buy tools, possibly I’m doing different task.
Teaher said,
Uhmm, it is already experience of the first batch that students are lack of
electrical tools will not perform well, since they have to provide tools for them to use for
the activities especially the practicum.

The data as gathered is technically reversed as what the researchers expected, just
because the researchers are expecting that the result of the questionnaire would be a
positive in the two (2) reason, first is that they are a former students of Electrical
their respected houses. Second, they must have an enough background about the
importance of having a tool. As the findings shows that, having an incomplete tool might
be a way to loosen down their confidence and strength to fulfill their dreams as
professional Electricians. Furthermore, the results also showed that one of the feelings of
having an insufficient material are, nervousness, confidence and other more. Those
emotional feelings and experiences are possibly a downfall of a one dreamer or a student.

because it’s a way to earn or gain more knowledge about the proper used of a tool as
well as it will make a someone confidence high during a performance just because their
knowledge is enough to fulfill what is empty. Things become well and great if a
complete material is enough also which make the students forget the emotional feelings
5.3 Recommendation
don’t take it seriously because there is always a way to cover what is missing. In order to
fulfill that missing, study hard, follow what the teachers want you to do, if negatives
attacks you, always remember that negative vibes will catch your confidence, instead
always place the word positivity in front of yours and let your moves go with the flows
• To the School. If necessary, the school must provide those electrical tools lack in
the strand of IA-A because as we can see in the reasons of the students
interviewed. Number one reason of the students is lack of budget to buy their
own electrical tools. The researchers hoping that you help them.
• To the Parents. If necessary, to all the parents of Grade 11 EIM students, look
for the best solution for it because this matter is for own good of your son for his
career.
