New Model for Teaching and Learning Traditional Craft Courseware: Analysis and Design Phase

This research seeks to look into a design process of the development of a model for teaching and learning traditional craft courseware called CDTC model. Specifically, this research focuses on analysis and design phase. The model was developed according to an established methodology and it is relied upon a conceptual framework consisting of four development phases starting from Analysis, Design, Development and Evaluation. The research begins with the preliminary analysis to look into the problems in conventional traditional apprenticeship method for teaching and learning traditional craft by looking at students and craft instructors' perceptions. Various weaknesses were identified in acquiring the craft skills taught to students especially when instructors need to teach a group of students. The results of analysis helps to suggest and determine a practical way to map out the suitable teaching environment and strategy that would best serve for teaching and learning traditional craft. As a result from initial analysis, the proposed CDTC model for educational courseware development for teaching and learning traditional craft was developed consisting of two main components. In Design phase, the proposed CDTC model's components was evaluated by selected craft instructors through initial validation process in order to verify its' components. The results from initial validation among instructors help in establishing and designing a preliminary version of the model.
