Abstract

This study explored the learning effectiveness and the attitudes of fluid power firms laborers toward web-based product assembly learning system. Firstly, this study tested the effectiveness of the product assembly education to prevent mistakes by different learning modes used to assess operation behavior and learning effectiveness during the training period. According to the average pass rate, course satisfaction, and total number of wrong behaviors in product assembly process, the web-based learning mode improves learning effectiveness. In addition, the study also investigated the relationship between laborers’ attitudes and several independent variables. The findings revealed that the web-based learning mode is positively associated with learning effectiveness of product assembly training. Meanwhile, the results also point to the importance of laborers’ vision of skills itself, their experience with it, and the learning conditions that surround its introduction into firms in shaping their attitudes toward skills and their subsequent diffusion in their real operation.
