What are differences between online and FTF pubic speaking in the students’ anxiety level, speech performance, as well as their perceptions of the challenges in the implementation of online public speaking courses as a potential to disruptive innovation
|
This pilot study was a mixed method research that involved a purposive sampling of two groups of 39 students in higher education.
|
The instruments used were
questionnaires of self- report anxiety, speech performance test and observation. The questionnaire consisted of 34 items on a five- point Likert scale (5 = very agree; 4 = agree; 3
= not sure; 2 = disagree; 1 = very disagree) in which the students needed to fill in the level of anxiety they experienced

In-depth interview

The investigation of TVET mechanical engineering graduates and employment included a practical study of vital issues gathered from theoretical perception, experience, and assessment of related literature. This investigation is generally centred on the ideas developed from Technology Acceptance model and theory of plan Behaviour. Pynoo and Van Braak (2014) addressed this issue by combining the TPB with the technology acceptance model to build a more accurate model for predicting instructors' behaviour. Figure 2 explains clearly and coherently the set of variables that mainly guided the study.
The study sought to investigate how the mechanical engineering graduates rate the process of training in terms of the capacity of lecturers to deliver mechanical engineering content. The significance of skills taught at the TUs, the application of
disruptives technologies, the availability and use of physical resources and the level of linkages and collaboration with industries. The investigation also tried to discover the degree to which the TVET institutes equip their graduates with the anticipated skills. Concerning the work market, the investigation looked to discover the skills that employers consider significant when employing mechanical engineering graduates. Securing quality, appropriate, and adequate skills calls for the availability of acceptable physical and human resources.
The inputs feed directly into the training process, where the transformation of trainees takes place through teaching and learning by their trainers, and in the process, they acquire skills. The output of this training process is a trained graduate whose competency level is portrayed by the level of training, area of specialization, performance in examinations and skills acquired. The main objective of MET is to help students obtain employment.
