Keywords:
Competence, TLE Teachers, K to 12 Program, Junior High SchoolsAbstract
This study assessed the competence of the Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) teachers for the K to 12 Program of public junior high schools in the Department of Education (DepEd), Division of Samar, during the School Year 2015-2016. The teacher-respondents were “highly competent” in teaching Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) along its four major components of Home Economics, Industrial Arts, Agriculture and Fishery Arts, and Information and Communications Technology, as reflected in the obtained weighted mean of 3.58. This means that they are capable of teaching the different components of T.L.E. under the K to 12 Program. The significance of the relationship between the levels of competence in teaching home economics. Agriculture and fishery arts, and ICT with their age and training/seminars attended indicate the need to propose programs/courses in these components which are differentiated according to the teachers’ age and their attendance in training/seminars. More relevant training/seminars ought to be conducted for the teachers to improve their level of competence in teaching T.L.E. under K to 12 Program. The DepEd should reconsider the T.L.E. curriculum under the K to 12 Program particularly as regards its specialization into the four components.
