Abstract:
Education is a vital instrument for driving societal change by shaping individuals' behaviors and guiding their learning processes. The primary objectives include assessing students' perceptions of technical drawing, identifying factors affect in skill acquisition, and exploring the role of community support in enhancing educational outcomes. Utilizing a descriptive survey methodology, quantitative data were collected from secondary education students and three technical drawing teachers, revealing a neutral to slightly positive perception of the subject alongside significant variability in student interest. Key factors affecting skill development included the quality and adequacy of drawing tools, maintenance frequency, and instructional materials, while the integration of modern technologies like Computer-Aided Design (CAD) was found to be inadequate. Qualitative insights highlighted the crucial role of community support in fostering motivation and performance, with students' attitudes significantly influencing their engagement and learning outcomes. As one student noted, "Without proper tools, it feels like we are drawing in the dark," emphasizing the need for better resources. The study underscores the need for improved facilities, better resource quality, and increased community involvement, recommending investments in modern tools, technology integration, and professional development for educators to create a more supportive learning environment that enhances students' technical drawing proficiency and prepares them for future opportunities in engineering and design fields.
