This study determined the training needs of Home Economics instructors in state colleges and universities in the Island of Samar. This study used the descriptive research design, where a survey on the perceptions of administrators, teachers, students on the training needs of Home Economics instructors of state colleges and universities in the Island of Samar was determined. Moreover, the perceptions of the three groups of respondents were compared and the extent of training needed by HE instructors was correlated to their profile (age, sex, civil status, educational qualification, academic rank, teaching experience and trainings/seminars attended). The correlation coefficient computed between training needs of HE instructors and their academic rank was 0.056 with the corresponding absolute Fisher’s t-value of 0.23 which proved to be lesser than the critical t-value of 2.11 at 0.05 level of significance and 17 degrees of freedom. Hence, the hypothesis which stated that “There is no significant relationship between the HE instructors’ training needs and their academic rank” was accepted. Among the six listed variates, only civil status proved to have a relationship with the training needs of HE instructors. This could imply that exposure to actual home management lessened the expressed level of training needs among HE instructors. While this does not imply that only married instructors will express a lesser level of training needs this could mean that single instructors in HE could enhance their skills in teaching the subject if they are more exposed to activities pertaining to home management. Age, civil status, educational qualification, academic rank, teaching experience and attendance to relevant seminars/training had nothing to do with the HE instructors’ training needs.
