Abstract

Since 1996, the technical subjects comprised of Engineering Technology (TK), Engineering Drawing (LK) and Inventions (RC) have been introduced as elective subjects for Form 4 and Form 5 students.  Examination results for TK, LK and RC from 2006 to 2010 in the Sijil Pelajaran Malaysia (SPM) Examination were less encouraging and shows some declination of students performance.  Data from the Ministry of Education also show a decline in students’ enrolment in TK, LK and RC between 10 to 17 percent from 2009 to 2011.  Hence, this study was conducted to evaluate on the implementation of TK, LK and RC in the input, process and product dimensions. A CIPP model was used as a conceptual framework for the study. Research design used in this study was programme evaluation. Stratified random sampling was used to select 712 respondents from national secondary schools in Peninsular Malaysia consisted of 159 administrators, 176 teachers and 377 students. Questionnaires, interview protocols and observation checklists were used as instruments in this study. Cronbach Alpha reliability index for the three sets of questionnaires were between 0.77 to 0.95. Descriptive and inferential statistics were used to analyse the data. The empirical data of the study found that staff training aspects need to be improved, especially staff training organized by the Ministry of Education and the Department of Education in terms of knowledge and skills of teachers for all three subjects.Interview and observation data were also presented to support the quantitative findings. Implications and recommendations for teaching and learning as well as for future research are presented and discussed.
