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 table shows that most of the tools and equipment needed in Horticulture NCII were not available .This
problem points to the same situation experienced with the lack of cookery tools and equipment, its effect
on NC II qualification, and the temporary solution to the lack of horticulture tools and equipment.
Inadequacy of tools were met through the effort of their resourcefulness of the trainers by bringing some of
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.

for them. On the other hand, on the question “Follow the instruction on sanitize container carefully” on
the first day of school there were a lot of instructions given to the students’ on the “do’s and don’ts”,
therefore almost all of them remembered this precaution easily.

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.

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.

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.

teachers’ educational background and teaching experience

The table shows the distribution of statistics on respondents’ performance when grouped according to
teachers’ educational background and teaching experience. There were two groups being compared: MTTE
and 9 years teaching experience and MAED with 3 years teaching experience. The null hypothesis, there is
no significant difference in the respondents’ performance when grouped according to teachers educational
background and teaching experience is REJECTED in Cookery but accepted in Horticulture . The result
indicates that there is a highly significant difference (T=2.82 **) in Cookery and (T=1.72 NS) in
Horticulture in respondents’ performance when grouped according to teachers educational background and
teaching experience.

0.06 in respondents’ level of competency in Cookery.

For every unit increase in the respondent parental support number 1 (Did your parents support you
financially) there is a corresponding increase of 0.27 in respondents’ level of competency in Cookery.
For every unit increase in the respondent parental support number 2 (Did your parents purchase supplies

For every unit increase in the respondent parental support number 3 (Did your parents attend quarterly

PTA projects?) there is a corresponding increase of 1.64 in respondents’ level of competency in Cookery.
For every unit increase in the respondent parental support number 5 (Did your parent monitor your

Cookery. And the relationship is highly significant.
For every unit increase in the respondent age of teacher there is a corresponding decrease of 0.01 in

For every unit increase in the respondent major of teacher (MA to MTTE) there is a corresponding increase
of 0.64 in respondents’ level of competency in Cookery.
The value of adjusted coefficient of multiple determination is 0.05 which explains that 5 percent of the total
variation of the students’ level of competency in cookery achievement is explained by the variation of the
student and teachers profile. The remaining 95 percent is due to unexplained variables. The regression
model is almost significant (F= 1.95) with (P-value= 0.0364)

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.
