Abstract The current study discusses range of benefit directed to students of Automotive Department in Industrial institute-Sabah Al Salem, relevant to field training in Kuwait market. A comparison between governmental institutions and private companies conducted to select the targeted entity for the training. The study conducted by using comprehensive limitation upon studys population consisted of (84) students, and (20) instructors from Automotive Department having a direct relationship with field training.

Two surveys were designed to recognize range of benefit with field training that obtained by the students, one for field training instructors, and other one limited for students of filed training.

The results showed that the challenges associated with instructors are the large number of students supervised by the instructor in filed training. Adding to that the challenges associated with the students, are the lack of understanding between the students and the company supervisors.

Key words: Field training, Education, Practical training, Vocational training.

  1. INTRODUCTION

    The Public Authority For Applied Education and Training paid more attention towards education, because its considered as a development tool for individuals, and its importance also in training and formation of the students, thus, the authority provided all training equipment required for the basic organized training decided for the students, through well- arranged scientific programs and plans, which aim to elevate students level, by increasing their skills and knowledge, making a positive change in students behavior and orientation towards the work properly.

    Industrial institute- Sabah Al Salem, is one among 12 institutes of the Public Authority of Applied Education and Training. It was establish in 1992, through cooperation with German Technical Cooperation Agency (GTZ) [1]. The institute was equipped by the latest modern training tools and equipment to prepare and qualify medium technical cadres who obtained intermediate certificates in Kuwait education. It

    offers suitable alternative for talented students with technical abilities, instead the public high school education.

    The period of study in the institute is three years; in addition, some distinct trainees may be entitled according to a certain conditions to complete the study in the fourth year, which equivalent to Industrial high school certificate.

    Institutes students receive theoretical and practical training, in addition to that two filed training organized during summer holiday after fourth training semester and at end of sixth training semester. Filed training can be considered as activity to increase students skills and experiences enabling them to elevate their performance level in different occupational situations. However, field training is conducted through field practice based on various basics, aim to understand students field experiences and technical skills by conducting training in governmental authorities, and privates companies according to suitable scientific basics and modern technological methods as well.

  2. RESEARCH PROBLEM:

    The problem of the study is to understand the challenges that identifying the obstacles to achieve a comprehensive quality in applying field trainings approach.

    This can be represented in the following questions: what is fact and nature of field training in automotive engineering including its various specializations at Industrial Institute- Sabah Al Salem? What is level of benefit from the field training? What is the efficiency level in work to be achieved in field training?

  3. IMPORTANCE OF THE STUDY:

    The importance of the current study aims is to reveal range of actual benefit obtained by students of automotive department through training in private companies and governmental organizations within training period.

    However, results of the current study may be utilized to limit the challenges meets instructors and students. Rethinking about some entities of field training as targeted authorities, by providing assistance for the competent authorities whether

    existing in institute or authority to take the suitable procedures regarding the same, which reflects positively upon students scientific understanding during field training period.

  4. OBJECTIVES OF THE STUDY:

    1. Realize fact of field training in automotive department.

    2. Select suitable training authority.

    3. Effective supervision towards the students during field training period.

    4. Recognize challenges and problems that encounter instructors and students during field training period.

    5. Discuss these problems, and suggesting applicable recommendations.

  5. LIMITS OF THE STUDY:

    This current study limited according the following:

    1. Industrial institute- Sabah Al Salem.

    2. Training staff at automotive department, those who previously supervised over the students during field training period.

    3. Students of second and third academic years at automotive department.

  6. STUDYS POPULATION:

    This study was conducted by using the comprehensive limitation method for training staff and students at automotive department available in industrial institute, Sabah Al Salem, however, studys population was performed as the following:

    1. No. of (20) member among training staff who have a direct relationship with field training.

    2. No. of (84) students belonged to second and third educational year, for the academic year 2014/2015.

  7. METHODOLOGY:

    Two special surveys in attempt to recognize fact and nature of field training, and realizing the challenges, to reach the comprehensive quality through questionnaire own opinions of training staff and students as well.

    The first survey is limited for training staff, and divided into two parts:

      1. Relevant to training in work site, and range of companys commitment towards training program which agreed upon with the institute, however, no. of (8) paragraphs are included.

      2. Relevant to events and challenges of field training, however, no. of (7) paragraphs are included.

    The second survey is limited for the students, and divided into three parts:

    1. Relevant to training in work site and range of companys commitment towards training program which agreed upon with the institute, however, no. of (12) paragraphs are included.

    2. Relevant to events and challenges of field training, however, no. of (11) paragraphs are included.

    3. Related to events conducted by field trainings supervisor, and range of performing his supervision duties perfectly, however, no. of (9) paragraphs are included.

  8. DATA ANALYSIS:

    In this section factor analysis is described, it is a set of p random variables in terms of a smaller number (m<p) of unobserved constructs, called factors which are determined by interpreting coefficients in a factor model, called loadings. The common factor model can be described as

    Xi = ai1F1 + ai2F2 … + ai mFm

    Where Xi is the ith variable, aij is the jth factor loading for the ith variable, and F1, F2, … Fm are the uncorrelated common factors. The square of the factor loading aij is the proportion of the variance of Xi that is explained by the factor Fj. The variance of ith variable can be split into two components, one corresponding to the variance specific to that variable and a variance that is common to all variables, in the form of the m factors. The estimate of this second component is the communality the sum of the squared factor loadings across the m factors for the variable in question.

    The partial pairwise correlations between the variables after controlling for all other variables should be small compared to the original correlations; this indicates that the common factor model can do a good job of explaining the overall variation. However, if the partial pairwise correlations differ little from the original correlations, or worse are actually larger in absolute value, then this could be an indication that the common factor model is not appropriate for the data. Variables must be removed and/or added to the set included in the factor analysis to improve the factor model. Kaisers Measure of Sampling Adequacy (MSA) is a summary of how much smaller the partial correlations are from the original correlations [2,3,4]. This measure is calculated for each variable, and overall.

  9. STATISTICAL PROCESSES USED IN THE RESEARCH: For processing the statistical data, the researcher used

    Statistical Packages for Social Sciences (SPSS) and repetitions and percentages have been extracted for responses of sample of study, and averages, standard deviations and Cronbach's alpha equivalence have been extracted to measure the reliability.

    The following table describes the analysis of data for trainers using Cronbach's alpha coefficient to measure the reliability:
