Enhancement Training in T. L. E. (Electrical Installation and Maintenance): Basis for Senior High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This research focused on finding the possible causes and solutions the problem of the lack of teacher's National Level Certificate in Electrical Installation and Maintenance (EIM) in San Juan National High School. The teacher must have adequate knowledge of the objectives and standards of the curriculum, skills in teaching, interests, appreciation and ideals. Certification is important to address the needs of the students and to prepare them for the incoming Senior High School curriculum.

METHODS

The descriptive-survey method was used in this study. Survey questionnaires were focused on identifying the interest and problems of teachers in attending TESDA trainings. Two rounds of surveys were conducted to identify the interest and problems of teachers. The researcher used the data to formulate remedial measures on factors that affect the hesitation of teachers to attend EIM training.

RESULTS

After the training program, an assessment was conducted as a standard operational procedure of TESDA which serve as tool or barometer to gauge the level of their learning. At the same time, this is part of preparation of teachers at San Juan National High School for the K-12 curriculum. An assessment for teachers was done last December 13, 2015 at JZGMSAT Biñan C, Laguna. With scholarship granted by TESDA, the teachers and utility staff from SJNHS has successfully passed the standard assessment procedure and received CAR (Competency Assessment Result). After a few days, they also received their COC (Certificate of Completion) and NCII (National Certificate II) under EIM.

DISCUSSIONS

Teachers must possess skills and knowledge for better teaching and learning processes for our students. Acquiring NCII in different areas of specialization will boost the morale of teachers. This will help them impart more information regarding specific lessons and uplift the confidence and trust of their students. The school administrator should find ways to support the teachers for their professional growth and encourage them with initiatives to attend short courses like TESDA trainings. Stakeholder partnership with private and different government agencies will be of great help to them.
