Abstract

The impact of inductive and deductive teaching methods on metalwork proficiency was evaluated among technical college students. The purpose of study was designed to determine the effect of inductive and deductive inquiry teaching approaches to enhance students’ cognitive achievement in Metalwork and to students’ psychomotor achievement in Metalwork. The study, involving 115 students, employed a pre-test, post-test, non-equivalent control group design, with 56 students allocated to the Deductive Inquiry group and 59 to the Inductive Inquiry group. Data were collected using the Metalwork Achievement Test (MCAT) and the Metalwork Psychomotor Achievement Test (MPAT). The Pearson Product Moment Correlation produced a correlation coefficient of 0.83 for assessing the MCAT's reliability. The reliability of MPAT was determined using the scorer dependability technique. The inter-rater agreement was 0.82. Despite a non-significant ANCOVA result at the 0.05 level, the students in the experimental groups showed superior mean scores. In metalwork instruction, students who employed the inductive inquiry method earned higher average scores on both the cognitive and psychomotor tests. The mean scores were statistically significant. Given these findings, Metalwork teachers at technical colleges should employ an inquiry-based learning method.

Abstract

We use two kinds of ZIF-8 crystals in the different external surface area to examine adsorption performance for three kinds of dye (Rhodamine B -RB, methyl orange -MO and methylene blue -MB). A t-plot method was used to determine external surface area for these samples. By establishing the trend lines from dye adsorption capacities versus external surface area, it was suggested that the RB and MO covered only on external surface area, while MB adsorbed both of inside the structure of ZIF-8 and on the outer surface. Moreover, the detailed adsorption of three dyes on the sorbent can be simulated by this method. As result, the RB and MO occupied 4.7 and 7.9 nm2 of the external surface for each molecule, respectively while that of MB included both inside the ZIF-8 structure, at a loading of 0.11 molecule per unit cell, and on the external surface with 2.3 nm2/molecule).
