Relationship Between Instructional Strategies in Teaching TLE and the Academic Performance of Grade 7 and 8 Students of Sta. Rita National High school: Basis for Plan of Action

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

TLE offers cookery/commercial cooking, beauty care, dressmaking, computer hardware and servicing, agriculture, crop production, carpentry, drafting, welding, electrical installation and nail care services are the most commonly offered by secondary schools. Laboratory rooms for each area are not enough for the student, lack of adequate tools and equipment are some of the common problems of the secondary school. There is not much to accomplish for the students but in the K-12 curriculum, it allows the students to give their insights to fellow schoolmates and the understanding that they have gained from the lesson so along these process both the educator and student learn new things.

The significant relationship between the academic performance of the student respondents and the perceived extent of use of instructional strategies of teachers.

RESULTS

This study has important significance for nurturing behavioral maturity among students that would basically benefit the students in terms of academic achievement. Regardless of perspective, a clear understanding of the relationship between instructional strategies in academic performance would help appropriate performance of the student.

DISCUSSIONS

The respondents believed that the use of brainstorming activities and performance tasks need to be enhanced and strengthened in each class activity. There was a significant relationship between the academic performance of the students and the instructional strategies used in teaching TLE. The researcher proposed an action plan to improve the competence of the teacher in using the instructional strategies well. Therefore, findings are recommended for the teachers to be aware and be inspired to use the different strategies. The Curriculum Developers may want to focus on the revealed effect of use in instructional strategy on students' academic performance. The school head/principal may share the findings of this study to their teachers for them to be aware on what area they should support their staff. Future researchers may conduct further study and evaluation of the findings of this study in the future to further assess the continuous enhancement in the delivery of knowledge.
