THE PROBLEM
Introduction
but any sense; the results will be the same, to impart knowledge to students that
serves as a testament of every teachers effective teaching.
Strategy is an organized, orderly, systematic, well planned procedure. It is
consists of steps or procedures which are logically arranged at achieving the
specific goals in instruction, at enhancing greater teacher and develop the students
mind set. It directs and guides the teacher in all class activities and to improve the
students performance and skills in school. It is also the skill of making or
carrying out plans to achieve goals.
Effective Teaching is present when it is well planned such that the activities
and experiences of the learner are related into more meaningful ideas. The teacher
constitutes different activities that bring out relationships of facts learned to give
new view and meaning that may apply in the improvement of students
performance.
Nowadays, commonly used strategy to facilitate the learning of the students
is the cooperative learning which focus on the group activities. It enables the
student to process, consolidate, and retain more information. It turn motivate
strengthens the students commitment to the groups education while increasing
self-esteem and self-worth. As student practice different roles, they have the
opportunity to develop a variety of skills. These teaching strategies help the
students take more responsibility for their own learning and enhance the process of
teaching for learning. Base on the observations of the researchers many teachers
are not aware to the new teaching strategies that will improve the students
performance, despite of the strategies that are commonly used in teaching TLE
that is less effective today because of the rise of modern technology.
Those mentioned above give the researchers an idea to conduct with a
research study with response in the topic. The purpose of this research study is to
understand the idea about the strategies being used which is effective in teaching
and will improve the student performance especially in TLE subject and to
conform with the instructional conditions that usually used by the teachers
considered to be successful with the students in learning TLE.
Statement of the Problem
This study aims to determine the New Teaching Strategies to Enhance
Student Performance in TLE in the Selected High School in Rosario District.
Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:
1. What is the profile of the teacher respondents in terms of:
1.1 age;
1.2 sex;
1.3 number of seminars attended related to teaching strategies; and
1.4 number of years in service?
2. What are the new strategies that are being used by the teacher in teaching
TLE?
3. Which of the methods/strategies often used by the teacher are found to be
the most effective in enhancing the students performance especially in the
TLE subject?
4. Based on findings, what proposed activities can be suggested or
recommended to enhance the teaching of TLE that will improve students
performance?
Scope, Delimitation and Limitation of the Study
The main focus of the study is to determine the new teaching strategies to
enhance student performance in TLE in the selected high schools in Rosario
District, Division of Batangas during the assessment year 2015-2016. The study
will cover the teachers handling TLE students in Grade 7 and 8 in the selected
schools in the Rosario District. The descriptive method of research will be utilized

CHAPTER II
REVIEW OF LITERATURE
This chapter presents the conceptual literature, research literature,
theoretical framework, conceptual framework and definition of terms that
will help to fully understand the research study.
Conceptual Literature
The following related researches which have been taken from different
references are used as the bases of this study:
Technology and Livelihood Education
Technology and Livelihood Education is the subject offered in all
curriculum levels for all students, boys and girls. It covers the basic skills and
concepts of Home Economics, Entrepreneurship, Agricultural Arts and Industrial
Arts to be taken as a unified course. As one fundamental school subject, TLE is
concerned with providing experiences in the various field of work and
expectations that will develop in the individual skill, knowledge, appreciation and
values necessary for effective daily living (Agdan et.al. 2013)
Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) equips learners with
knowledge and information, skills, and processes, right work values and life skills
in the field of Home economics, Industrial Arts, Agri-Fishery Arts, Information
Communication Technology and Entrepreneurship (Balhag et.al. 2013)
The main goal of T.L.E is the development of work ethics , knowledge,
skills and values essential to economically productive endeavor and to bring about
the students awareness by engaging then income generating activities and other
livelihood projects to improve their lives and lessen dependence on employment
as the only source of income (Cabanig et. al., 2013)
Teaching Strategies
According to Corpuz and Salandanan (2013) teaching strategies is a long
term plan of action designed to achieve a particular goal. Strategies apply to many
disparate fields such as military strategy, economic strategy, teaching strategy and
the like.
The following are some of the strategies used to establish an effective
instruction in Technology and Livelihood Education (Ramon C. Cabag, Ed.D).
The strategies used mentioned above are used by the TLE teachers to
enhance the performance and learning of the students in the TLE subject.
Performance.
It refers to the accomplishment of a given task (Petra, 2000). It is the
ability of how students can perform in a certain task.
A term which refers to the fulfillment of a claim, promise or request.
(Grolier Dictionary, 1981. Vol. 2). It refers to the range where the students can
perform the given task that enhance their performance.
Research Literature
According to the findings of Aguila et. al, 2005 seminars attended, years of
experience and age have significant in the level of the extent of use of methods
and show that there is no significant relationship between the extent use of
methods and gender and civil status of the respondent. While in the terms of
relationship between the extent of use of strategies in teaching and the profile of
the respondents, there were significant relationship between age, years of
experience and seminars attended but no significant relationship to the gender and
civil status.
Calangi, et. al. (2002) stated that the age, sex, course and type of high
school attended may have an effect on students study habits. Along with these,

FIGURE 1 EDGAR DALES CONE OF EXPERIENCE
According to Dales research, the least effective method at the top involves
learning from information presented through verbal symbols. Ex: Listening to
spoken words. The most effective methods at the bottom, involves direct,
purposeful learning experiences, such as hands on or field experience. A direct
purposeful experience represents reality or the closest things to real, everyday life.
The cone charts the average retention rate for various methods of teaching. The
further you progressed down the cone, the greater the learning and the more
information is likely to be retained. It also suggests that when choosing an
instructional method it is important to remember that involving students in the
process strengthens knowledge retention. It reveals that action- learning
techniques result in up to 90% retention. People learn best when they use
perceptual learning styles. Perceptual learning styles are sensory based. According
12
to Dale, instructors should design instructional activities that build upon more reallife experiences.
Conceptual Framework
Technology and Livelihood Education is more on hands on activities and
application. But like the other subjects, the teacher must use teaching strategies
that will enhance the students performance and at the same time they learned.
TLE must involve learning concepts and ideas about its different areas.
Figure 2.2 presents the research paradigm of the study on New Teaching
Strategies to Enhance Students Performance in TLE. Input variables were the
teaching strategies used by teachers and the profile of the respondents. In the
process, the researchers will use self made questionnaire. The first part will be the
profile of the respondents and the second part is the teaching strategies used by the
respondents, the teachers.
The output of this study was a proposed activities which that will enhance
the students performance of Grade 7 and 8 in the TLE subject. In this conceptual
paradigm, it shows the relationship of the contents in relation with the research
study.
The first one shows the profile and the teaching strategies used by the
respondents which can be determined through the use of self made questionnaire.
This instrument is used to gather the necessary information from the contents of
