ABSTRACT
The main goal of this study was to design, assemble and assess the functionality of the Automation Controller using Programmable Logic Controller and Arduino. The device was used to assist the teachers in imparting lessons on topics including; electric motor control, industrial automation, and servo robotic system. This study was conducted in Bohol Island State University ? Main Campus, Tagbilaran City in School Year 2019-2020. It made use of the experimental design using one group pre skill test ? post skill test method in gathering data to test the effectiveness of the device. The result of the study revealed that the students? average rating in the pre skill test and post skill test were 1.64 and 3.36, respectively. This further shows that the students performed better in the post skill test than in the pre skill test. It is evident that the students learned more in the demonstration having hands-on performance in the device than in the discussion alone. The Automation Controller using Programmable Logic Controller and Arduino: An Instructional Device is an effective tool for instruction in BS Electrical Technology.
