1)Intro: Angeles City National Trade School has long been a hub for aspiring welders,
providing them with the necessary training and skills to excel in the field of SMAW. By
conducting this research, we seek to gain a comprehensive understanding of the lived
experiences of SMAW NC2 passers at this specific institution. We will explore the
challenges they faced, the skills they acquired, and the impact of their training on their
personal and professional lives.
This research aims to explore the uncharted territory of the lived experiences of SMAW NC2
passers. By delving into their daily lives, challenges, and successes, we aim to gain valuable
insights that could influence future educational and training programs in the welding
industry. The study will not only focus on their technical skills but also on the huma I'mn
aspects of their experiences, providing a comprehensive understanding of what it means to be
a SMAW NC2 passers.

METHODS
The study utilized quantitative approach of research and employed descriptive survey
method. The respondents of the study are 39 Grade 12 Senior High Students. The study
conducted in Dr. Arsenio C. Nicolas National High School Brgy. Pandanan, Calauag,
Quezon. The said senior high is one of the few school that offers TVL with specialization in
Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW). The instrument employed is an adaptation from those
used by the Canarie Learning Program (2004) in evaluating Virtual Veterinary Medicine
Learning Community E-learning module.
RESULTS
The researchers determined that the respondents, based from the findings of the study,
thefemale respondents have a very high satisfactory level with the mean 3.76. While male
respondents got the mean of 3.72 with very satisfactory rating. The students found out that
the video lessons were enjoyable and that contributed greatly to my acquisition of relevant
skills in SMAW NC2 Competency. The video lessons were effectivein meeting the learning
objectives. The students also describe the video lessons as being highly interesting. I would
recommend the use of video lessons to my colleagues. That the video lessons make me spend
more time studying to acquired practical skills. The students were satisfied with their
learnings from VBIMs.
DISCUSSIONS
It is encouraging to see that the learners in the present study found the video lessons as "an
enjoyable learning scenario and a necessity to an effective instruction" (Ghee & Heng, 2008,

Interview questions:
What are the challenges that you faced when taking the exam?, what did you do to deal with
them?
Does having a NCII helped you in any ways?, how and why?
Why did you decide to pursue having a NCII certificate for welding?
Do you suggest that students that are taking the welding shop also take NCII?
What are some preparations you did before taking the NCII?
This is to certify that the Research Instrument that will be used by the Group 1 of Section
ARES Senior High School students under the Technical-Vocational-Livelihood (TVL) strand
taking up Gas Metal Arc Welding(GM,A,W)as the area of specialization, had undergone
validation by an expert. The expert consulted can corroborate that the interview questions
had passed through meticulous and methodical assessment. Hence, the validation has deemed
