Abstract

This study attempted to find out teaching beliefs and technological literacy of TLE teachers and their relationship to the performance of the different secondary high schools of Paranas, Samar during the school year 2008-2009. This study employed descriptive-correlational research design which examined the relationship between teaching belief and technological literacy of TLE teachers. Technological literacy among teacher-respondents along  teaching, learning and the curriculum yielded a correlation coefficient of 0.223 with students’ entrepreneurial skills. This correlational value was not significant since Fisher’s t-value posted at 0.5603 was lower compared to the critical t-value of 2.447 at 0.05 significance level. Productivity and Professional Practice Technology Literacy or teacher-respondents posted a correlation coefficient r of 0.722 with students’ entrepreneurial skills. The computed Fisher’s t-value of 2.5561 was greater than the critical t-value of 2.447 at 0.05 significance level, hence, the two variables were significantly correlated.  Students' manipulative skills were not significantly related to TLE teacher-respondents’ technological literacy along technology operations and concepts; planning and designing learning environments; teaching, learning and the curriculum; assessment and evaluation; productivity and professional practice; and social,ethical, legal and human issues. Student-respondents’ entrepreneurial skills was significantly related to TLE teacher-respondents’ technological literacy along productivity and professional practice but not with technology operations and concepts; planning and designing learning environments and experiences; teaching, learning and the curriculum; assessment and evaluation; and social, ethical, legal and human issues.
