Abstract

Home Economics education enhances students' learning skills, including self-directed learning and feedback skills, which are crucial for learning progress and achievement. Students in Home Economics can improve their culinary skills and gain recognition through proper time allocation for studying, as well as the application of knowledge and skills such as cooking, sewing, baking, and budgeting. Home Economics activities have positive effects on student learning, such as boosting confidence as part of skills assessment. This survey-based quantitative research measured Home Economics activities and the level of learners' culinary skills to compare the two variables and determine their significance using a Likert scale. The findings show that Home Economics learners can improve their skills by using tools and equipment commonly utilized in the field. Therefore, their skills can be further enhanced. These findings suggest that, with the guidance of Home Economics teachers, students can develop their skills and gain more knowledge through various activities. The study discussed that the Home Economics activities will help learners in maintaining, enhancing, and achieving their culinary skills, which will certainly benefit learners.
