Elect Installation & Maintenance Work 2, WASSCE (SC), 2018

Weakness and Remedies

 

Candidates weaknesses were noticed in the following areas:
           
  -   inability to use international accepted terminologies for electrical quantities;
-     inability to recognize the similarities of tools and use the appropriate names for it (e.g “drill bit” and a screw);
-    inability to differentiate between procedures and steps;
-    lack of practical experiences.

The following remedies were however suggested:

school and teachers should aspire to purchase correct books written/authored by seasoned electrical personnel;
-   qualified teachers should be recruited to teach the subject;
-   students should research further for modern ideas so as to compete with students abroad;
-  candidates should be taught on how to answer question in an examination;
-  teachers should cover the topics in the teaching syllabus before examinations commence;

-  candidates should improve their study habit
