Abstract

This study focused on the development of the Go-Kart as an assessment tool for National Certificate II using the Department Of Science and Technology, Technology Assessment Protocol (TAP-TEEPS). This study used developmental research design and descriptive-evaluative research design with a questionnaire to gather data. The statistical tools used were frequency count and weighted mean. After designing, fabricate, and assembling, the kart was evaluated in terms of its level of technical performance, economic/financial feasibility, environmental soundness, political acceptability, and social acceptability, its level of utility as National Certificate II Assessment Tool along core competencies (Service Wiring Lighting System, Service Engine Mechanical System, Service Steering System, and Perform Brake System Preventive Maintenance). The findings were: the Go-Kart was designed and fabricated according to the specifications detailed in the plan; the Go-Kart showed excellent level of technical performance, high economic/financial feasibility, highly acceptable environmental soundness, very high political and social acceptance; the level of utility of the Go-Kart as National Certificate II assessment tool was high; and the prepared Laboratory Manual as a guide in the use of the Go-Kart along the four selected core competencies was very highly valid.
