Abstract:

A versatile workbench is essential in carpentry, as it transforms tasks into meaningful, engaging work that fosters both efficiency and a deeper passion for the craft. This study developed a Mobile Instructional Workbench to address the need for a flexible and instruction-oriented workshop facility in technical and vocational education. The workbench was designed to enhance instructional delivery and hands-on workshop activities through features such as a detachable whiteboard, power tool mounting board, waste collector, safety mechanisms, and instructional components, all aimed at improving teaching effectiveness and learner engagement. A developmental–descriptive research design was used. The developmental phase included planning, design, fabrication, assembly, testing, revision, and final evaluation, while the descriptive phase assessed functionality and acceptability. The respondents consisted of thirty experts, including ten woodworking teachers, ten TVET trainers, and ten industry practitioners. Data were gathered using a validated researcher-made questionnaire and analyzed using mean and standard deviation. Results showed that the workbench had fast and efficient setup and an effective waste collection system that promoted a clean and safe working environment. It was rated highly acceptable in terms of design, durability, stability and safety, and maintainability, indicating that it is structurally reliable, safe, and easy to maintain. A user manual was also developed, covering assembly, operation, safety, maintenance, and troubleshooting. Overall, the Mobile Instructional Workbench is a functional, safe, and highly acceptable instructional tool for technical-vocational education.
