Education - Educational Tests & Measurements

The main focus of the study is to conduct a confirmatory factor analysis of students’ readiness skills toward work immersion in Technical Vocational Livelihood-Industrial Arts of the Department of Education. Work immersion is a required subject that is assimilated into the curriculum of the Senior High School. This program will engage students with a real-time work environment that will develop their competencies. This study verified the construct validity and reliability of the Work Readiness Assessment Scale (WRAS). A total of 237 Grade 12 Industrial Arts work immersion students from different Senior High Schools in the Division of Pampanga completed the WRAS. A confirmatory factor analysis (CFA) was conducted to measure the work readiness towards the DepEd work immersion program indicated that a four-factor structure of the WRAS provided a good fit to the data. The fit indices generated the following value, GFI=0.643, χ2 /df=2.27, RMSEA=0.073, CFI=0.849, TLI=0.843, and NFI=0.759 that indicates an excellent fit to data observed.
