Graduate School, Manila Instrumentation and Validation of the Instrument The study entailed two basic instruments:
(a) Task Performance
Evaluation on three topics, namely: Collision Regulation with 14 items, Williamson Turn with 12 items, and Position Fixing with 10 items; and (b) Feedback Survey on effectiveness (i.e. 10 items) of the Vehicle Simulator, as well as ranking of the features (i.e. 8 items) of the said simulation tool. A detailed profile of the student was required of all respondentparticipants. The same applies to the instructor-respondents.
For a more
detailed appreciation of the instrument, please refer to Appendices A, B, C, D, E, F, G, and H. Each item in the task performance evaluation was assessed using a 4point Likert scale (i.e. ranging from 1 to 4) indicating the extent of the respondent’s agreement or disagreement. The scale points mean: 1- Poor (P); 2 - Fair (F); 3 – Good (G); and 4 – Very Good (VG). Likewise, corresponding level has its verbal interpretation as shown in the legend: Table 3 Interpretation of Scores – Task Performance Evaluation Rating Scale
