An Assessment of the Revised Teaching Guide for Pananahi in the Intermediate Grades

Abstract

This study aimed to assess the revised teaching guide used by the elementary school home economics teachers in teaching Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan in the specific area of Pananahi for the intermediate grades in the district of Sta. Margarita. The descriptive-comparative analysis of research was used in this study using the questionnaire as the main source in gathering data. The problems encountered by the EPP teachers in the teaching of Pananahi can be grouped into two: as to instruction and as to facilities. As to instruction, “Kakulangan ng tulong pinansyal upang maisagawa ang kanilang gawain/proyekto,” “Gurong pinatuturo ng HE na di medyor,” and “Kakulangan ng maayos napag-aaral ng mga mag-aaral” were considered serious problems. On the other hand, as to facilities, “Kakulangan ng ponding pambili ng mga kagamitang H.E.,” “Kakulangan ng mga material at pasilidad para sa pagtuturo,” and “Kakulangan ng mga aklat sa H.E. na nailimbag sa Filipino '' were considered serious problems. The EPP teachers based on their profile possess the qualifications to handle their present position, except for the expertise in the field of EPP and the subject area in Pananahi which was lacking in some teachers. The perceptions of the two categories of respondents as to the relevance of objectives, adequacy of contents/activities, and effectiveness of strategies and appropriateness of the evaluation technique did not vary significantly from each other. This meant that the two categories of respondents both agreed on the effectiveness of the revised or enriched teaching guide.
