This study assessed the training needs of technology and Home Economics instructors and students of state university and colleges in Samar, with the immediate objective of establishing baseline data, which may serve as a springboard to the development of a long-range scenario to intensify the training aspects of the T.H.E. program. This study employed the descriptive research design. First, the researcher assessed the training needs of the T.H.E. instructors and students in terms of their profile as well as the extent of their training along three pedagogical areas, namely: content, instructional, and communicative pedagogy. As to the problems encountered by both respondents, students’ financial constraints to meet shop requirements and instructors’ lack of supplies, materials and devices for teaching hamper their effectiveness in teaching and learning T.H.E. The instructors group considered the 14 identified problems as “hingly felt” being manifested by the grand mean of 3.68; however, the students “moderately felt” the problems encountered as revealed by the area mean of 3.42. Having known the result of the investigation, that is, the training needs of T.H.E. instructors and students along with content, instructional and communicative pedagogies, a training program may be developed or a model for the ideal learning activities should take place. Necessary revisions of the curriculum program to keep pace with the present needs of the students and with the current time to be favored. This also entails instructors and students to admit their weakness and consider their strengths so they will be motivated to do what is expected of them.
