Abstract:

The study sought to determine the profile of the student respondents in terms of age, sex, family income, type of high school graduated from the course preference; to determine the profile of the teachers in terms of educational qualification, years in teaching Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) subjects, number of relevant trainings/seminars acquired, and frequency national certifications acquired, and frequency of use of strategies in teaching TLE; to find out the level of motivations of the TLE students; to find out the level of attitude of the students towards TLE; to determine the performance of the students in TLE subjects; to determine whether there is a significant relationship between the profile of the teachers and students’ motivations and attitude towards TLE subjects; to determine there is significant relationship between the motivation and attitude of the students; to determine whether there is a significant relationship between the profile of students and teachers and students’ performance in TLE subjects; to determine whether there is significant relationship between motivations and attitude of the students and performance in TLE subjects; to determine whether there is a significant difference in motivations between student who had TLE as their choice and those who were influenced by other people; and to derive implications of the study to curriculum development.
The study was conducted in four state universities in Samar Island offering a Technology and Livelihood Education course. It employed descriptive-correlational design. Complete enumeration of junior and senior BSEd-TLE, BSIE and BSHE students was employed. Complete enumeration was also done for the teacher respondents. Research instruments on motivations and attitudes were used as data-gathering tools. Secondary data such as the average of grades for the First Semester, SY 2015-2016 was also determined. Statistical tools include frequency counts, means, ranking, multiple regression analysis, and t-test for independent samples. Most of the student respondents were in the 16-17 age range and P20,000–P30,000 income range. Majority of the student respondents were female, graduates of National High Schools, and influenced by other people to take up TLE. Majority of the teacher respondents were Master’s degree in TLE fields, had at least 15 years of teaching TLE, and had attended trainings in TLE. Most of the teacher respondents had not yet acquired national certificates. The teachers frequently applied laboratory method, lecture/discussion, demonstration, brainstorming and project methods. The student respondents were highly motivated and had favorable attitudes towards TLE. Majority had “good” and “fair” performance in TLE. No significant relationship was found on the teacher’s profile and motivations while there was a significant relationship between teachers’ profile and attitudes of the student respondents. Motivations and attitudes were significantly correlated. Age, family income, and type of high school graduated from had no significant relationship with performance while sex, school and course preference had significant relationship with the performance in TLE. However, the teachers’ profile had no significant relationship on the performance in TLE. Motivations and attitudes had no relationship with performance in TLE. Moreover, there was no significant difference in the motivation of students who chose personally TLE as their course and those who were influenced by other people
