Abstract: While floor planning is a fundamental skill in technical drafting, many students find manual drafting time consuming and prone to errors. This study explored how the use of the Floor Plan Creator application could improve the efficiency, accuracy, and performance of Grade 9 Technical Drafting students in producing floor plans. The main objective was to determine whether students could produce better outputs with the help and guidance provided by the digital features of the Floor Plan Creator. The study utilized a quasi-experimental research design, particularly a single-group pretest-post-test approach. Students were given the requirements and area of a specific floor plan. In the pretest, they were asked to draft the floor plan manually but had no formal instruction or prior experience in creating one. As a result, their manual outputs were generally lacking in structure and technical accuracy. Their outputs were evaluated using a scoring rubric focused on workmanship, accuracy, neatness and speed. The intervention involved introducing the Floor Plan Creator application, which guided students through the floor planning process with built-in tools, auto-dimensioning, and layout suggestions. In the post test, students used the application to recreate the same floor plan. The results showed that with the help and guidance of the Floor Plan Creator, students produced more accurate and complete outputs. Their average scores improved from “Very Satisfactory” in the pretest to “Excellent” in the post test. There was a significant difference before and after the use of Floor Plan Creator application. The mean score after the use of the intervention was higher than the mean score before the intervention. The findings demonstrate that the application not only supported the students in understanding the structure and layout but also increased their confidence and ability to meet the required drafting standards. Additionally, the low standard deviation in the post test scores indicates a consistent level of improvement across the participants, demonstrating that the Floor Plan Creator helped students achieve more uniform and higher quality outputs. Therefore, this study recommends the integration of Floor Plan Creator into the drafting curriculum, as it effectively assists students in producing high-quality outputs through a more guided and efficient process.
