teachers have a lot of new things to learn in order to implement the curriculum. He further stated that one

to two months training are not enough. Chua (2012), in his column, stated that the incompetency of teachers

is rooted to the lack of academic conferences and seminar workshops and the hasty implementation of the

new curriculum.

The table shows that most of the tools and equipment needed in Cookery NCII were not available. This

could have affected the performance of the students in competencies required in qualifying for the NC II

Certificate. Inadequacy of tools were met through the effort and resourcefulness of the trainers by bringing

some of the tools available in their respective homes. Students also used their own tools available at home.

The checklist, as mentioned in the previous chapter, was taken from the Training Regulation (TR) of

TESDA per course or qualification.

This year is the full implementation of the curriculum. The school is hopeful that the government would

strengthen the tie-up between Dep-Ed and TESDA to produce quality graduates who will enter into the

world of work (Salvador). There is a need for more training for TLE teachers and acquisition of more tools

and equipment

the tools available in their respective homes.

This year is the full implementation of the curriculum. The government must strengthen the tie-up with

There is a need for more training for TLE teachers and acquisition of more tools and equipment.

The data show that the students were not able to got the correct answer for the question, “Is greatly durable

and cheap material of kitchen utensils but may not last long?” probably because they lacked familiarization

of such thing. Many got the correct answer for the question stated as “Used for whipping eggs, butter and

for blending gravies, sauces and soup” because this question calls for tools commonly used by them.

The table shows the distribution of statistics on respondents’ performance when grouped according to

tardiness. There were two groups being compared: 0 to 1 tardy and 2 to 5 tardiness. The null hypothesis,

there is no significant difference in the respondents’ performance when grouped according to tardiness is

ACCEPTED. The result indicates that there is no significant difference (T=0.15 NS) in Cookery (T=1.42

NS) and Horticulture in respondents’ performance when grouped according to tardiness. According to

(Harrman, 2007). Tardiness is a major problem in TLE. Not only do students lose valuable educational

instruction when they arrive late, but they disrupt the educational environment and distract others who are

in the class. Excessive student tardiness has a negative impact upon a student's future (Ried, 2000). Some

of the implications are academic failure, high school drop-outs, emotional dependency, and drug

dependency, fighting and bullying (Chang & Romero, 2008). Student tardiness is a key factor in

determining if a child will become at risk (Greenfield, 2002). Without intervention, tardy behaviors often

result in serious emotional and social problems (Harrman, 2007). Within a qualitative design, the researcher

interviewed chronically tardy students individually and in a focus group. Study findings evolved into

functional suggestions for intervention strategies focused on students and parents which can be

implemented by schools and local, state and national government agencies with the goal of reducing

tardiness in the middle school.

The table shows the distribution of statistics on respondents’ performance when grouped according to

Parental Support #3. There were two groups being compared: those who answered yes and no. The null

hypothesis, there is no significant difference in the respondents’ performance when grouped according to

Parental Support #3 is ACCEPTED. The result indicates that there is no significant difference (T=0.83 NS)

in Cookery and (T=1.18 NS) in Horticulture in respondents’ performance when grouped according to

Parental Support #3.

It shows that education goal, and school readiness, recognize a need for young children to be better prepared

for entry into secondary school. Many low-income children exhibit a pattern of underachievement in

Technology Livelihood Education. This is revealed in the developmental gap between parents and their

children with respect to the extent of their numerical knowledge.

answered no. The null hypothesis, that there is NO significant difference in the respondent’s performance

when grouped according to Parental Support #5 is REJECTED. The result indicates that there a highly

significant difference (T=3.52 **) in Cookery and (T=2.26*) Horticulture in respondents’ performance

when grouped according to Parental Support #5. This shows that the students need parental support that

requires the parent to do their task. Moreover, Harb and El-Shaarawi (2006) found that the most important

factor with positive effect on students' performance is parental support.

The value of adjusted coefficient of multiple determination is 0.18 which explains that 18 percent of the

total variation of the students level of competency in

Horticulture achievement is explained by the variation of the student and teachers profile. The remaining

82 percent is due to unexplained variables. The regression model is highly significant (F=4.60) with (p-

value= 0.0000).

CONCLUSION

Based on the problem posed in Chapter 1, the following are the conclusions:

1. There were more female respondents than male handling TLE. Majority of the family had income

below 10,000/mos. which is not enough to meet the needs of the whole family. In terms of attendance,

there were more students who were not attending their classes even though there were times they were

tardy. Parents were not supportive in terms of monitoring the performance of their children.

2. Both TLE teachers are female, LET passers, NCII holders and have completed their academic

requirements for a Master’s Degree.

3. Facilities of the school were insufficient to cater to the needs of the students in Cookery and

Horticulture.

RECOMMENDATION

Based on the findings and conclusions, the following recommendations are suggested:

1. The teachers and trainers of Technical-Vocational Education Training Programs (TVET) are

encouraged to attend continuing technical education and trainings to be effective in teaching the prescribed

competencies necessary for ASEAN competitiveness.

2. Revision of the curriculum is highly recommended were instructional technology comes with

instructional planning for practicality and appropriateness in relation to the learners, and the competencies

to be developed to match the goal of globalization.

3. The procurement process should also be improved in order to facilitate the acquisition of equipment

and materials needed for the competency-based training and development geared towards

internationalization.

4. The Department of Education plays an important role in evaluating the implementation of K-12

Program of San Vicente National High School, Butuan City, in terms of employability and job

opportunities.

5. The Technology Livelihood Education teachers should continue creating and using innovative

techniques and strategies in the classroom to cater to varied needs of students.
