Assessing the feasibility and acceptability of a modified TSquare device for construction technology: a study on technology adoption

This study aimed to assess the acceptability and effectiveness of a modified T-Square device for construction technology at Cebu Technological University- Pinamungajan Campus, Pinamungajan Cebu, during the academic year 2018-2019. The device was evaluated based on its effectiveness, functionality, and safety for construction workers, civil technology students, and professors. A quasiexperimental method, particularly survey research, was used to gather data from 50 construction workers, 50 civil technology students, and 10 civil technology professors in Pinamungajan, Cebu. The gathered data were analyzed using total weighted points, weighted mean, and t-test. The findings of the study indicate that the modified T-Square device meets the National Building Code of the Philippines standards and is highly acceptable in terms of its effectiveness, functionality, and safety. Based on the results, it is recommended that the device be adopted for use in construction technology. This study provides valuable insights into the acceptability of the modified T-Square device for construction technology and highlights the importance of evaluating new technologies in the field.
