Synthesis

Education is a primary concern in any country in the world. The

educational institution has an obligation to educate its citizens in accordance with

the nation's goals as stated in the constitutional opening. The existence of these

goals led to the establishment of numerous educational institutions to play a role

in actualizing the goals and objectives as outlined in the constitution. It has been

the goal of educational institutions to produce students who are prepared to

serve as human resources for their country. One of the expected human

resources is the competent ones. Competence is an essential characteristic for

students to be able to carry out their tasks successfully. It can also refer to

individual characteristics, which include knowledge, skills, and behaviors that

allow them to perform well.

Since the BTLED program seeks to develop highly competent and

motivated teachers in technology and livelihood education, the curriculum must

provide a body of knowledge, skills, attitudes, values, and experiences as well as

the competencies required for effective teaching. Students must demonstrate

mastery of the required set of outcomes. As a result, learning and acquiring the

necessary competencies for technical courses is crucial for enhancing their

knowledge, skills, and attitudes necessary for the course. The course requires

teacher education students to acquire highly manipulative skills and

competencies. Therefore, competency is an important element in a person’s

everyday life.

As a result, learning and acquiring the key competencies for technical

courses is essential to enhancing their knowledge, skills, and attitudes required

for the course. The curriculum must include a body of knowledge, skills, attitudes,

effectively. To become highly competent individuals as well as motivated

teachers in technology and livelihood education, teacher education students

must demonstrate mastery of the required set of outcomes and obtain highly

manipulative skills and competencies. Therefore, competency is an important

factor in a person’s everyday life.

However, several factors influence individuals' competence. One such

factor is self-efficacy. It can be seen that students with high self-efficacy are

confident in understanding a lesson, solving educational problems, and are able

to complete a task (Ahmad & Safaria, 2013). On the other hand, competencies

are combinations of demonstrable characteristics, knowledge, and skills that

enable one to apply, complete, and use a task according to its standards in a

defined work area (Asfani et al., 2016). Both self-efficacy and competency are

essential factors that positively influence a student’s ability to perform effectively

and are associated with professional competence.

In this manner, self-efficacy promotes competence and is crucial in

determining the various skill levels. Due to this, competency plays a significant

role in students’ everyday circumstances. Additionally, students with low self-

efficacy do not believe they can succeed, which makes them less motivated to

put in a significant effort and may consider difficult tasks as dangers to be

avoided. According to the literature, the importance of self-efficacy in individuals

is closely attributed to their performance, at which point it is related to individual

competence. As a result, self-efficacy determines competence and improves

performance in individuals. In general, high self-efficacy motivates an individual

to be competent enough to perform excellently. As a result, self-efficacy is an

accurate predictor of competence.

fundamental skills that students pursuing a bachelor's degree in Technology and

Livelihood Education are expected to possess. In order to compete with global

teaching-learning approaches and competitiveness, the CHED required the

application of this scheme in Philippine universities and colleges. This paradigm

of teaching is student-centered rather than lecture-based as in the conventional

to be competent enough to perform excellently. As a result, self-efficacy is an

accurate predictor of competence.

Therefore, to trigger influential education for the students, form teacher candidates and form

teachers should be trained through pre-service and in-service training programs to advance

their competencies towards to the curriculum development. The main objective of the current

study is to explore curriculum development competencies of form teacher candidates who will

serve as form teachers in the Turkish Republic of Northern Cyprus (TRNC)

In response to this mandate, the curriculum for Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) in

the elementary was enhanced in terms of specific skills and knowledge that the elementary

pupils must develop in order to meet the requirements for further learning

. Anchored on this premise, the researcher is motivated to conduct a study on teaching

competencies among TLE teachers in elementary in order to determine their strengths and

weaknesses. . The researcher also believes that teachers are responsible for operating

educational system and they need strong and efficient professional competencies because the

quality of teachers affects the achievement of the students.

we researchers are inspired to conduct this research to assess the level of competency and self-

efficacy of the students so that

students can continuously advance their knowledge and exceed their abilities in full potential.

This aim will improve the education of students to ensure that new nursing entrants to the

nursing care. To achieve this, nurse educators must determine the areas that require

improvement and assess the educational needs of nursing students to help those meet high

levels of clinical competence and to provide quality in the educational process

As such, new graduate nursing students should have a high level of self-efficacy to feel

competent in meeting the entry-level requirements in clinical areas and accept these

challenging roles

To the knowledge of the researchers, few studies have been conducted to assess the clinical

competence levels of nursing students in Saudi Arabia, which highlighted the need to conduct

this study

This study aims to help educators improve their teaching strategies, and help future students

advance their competencies in the activity in school. To the knowledge of the researchers, few

students’ competencies and identifying related factors may help for improve the confidence and

their performance in the learning environment.

It is indeed important for educators to help their students to achieve high levels of competeny

and self-efficacy in the attempt to identify the weak areas in their performance to provide

quality in the educational process.

Moreover, evaluating the competence of BTLEDstudents at postgraduate level is part of the

quality assurance of education. Hence, this research aims to assess and compare the levels of

CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents the discussion of research methodology used to

conduct the study. In more details, the researchers outline the research design,

respondents of the study, sampling procedure, data gathering instrument, data

gathering procedure, and statistical treatment of data.

Research Design

The current study employs a specific methodology in order to get a

significant outcome. In particular, a quantitative descriptive research design will

be used for this study to enable researchers to analyze and interpret the

characteristics of the current status of a phenomenon being studied on the

competency level and self-efficacy of fourth-year BTLED students in terms of

disciplinal knowledge and pedagogical competency. The study used the

descriptive method in gathering data to determine the level of competency and

self-efficacy of BTLED students in Colegio ng Lungsod ng Batangas for

Academic Year 2022–2023. Frankel (2010) asserts that descriptive research

entails examining the current situation and utilizing quantitative measurements to

describe it.

Descriptive statistics were employed in the data analysis as it gathers

thorough and factual data as a descriptive study describes existent phenomena

and provides an accurate description of the issue or topic of interest. The design

is suitable because it enables the researcher to gather relevant information from


Republika ng Pilipinas
Lungsod ng Batangas

Contact No. (043) 402-1450

Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood education students using a quantitative

measure of the survey.

Respondents of the Study

The respondents of this study will be the fourth-year Bachelor of

Technology and Livelihood Education (BTLED) students in Colegio ng Lungsod

ng Batangas for the Academic Year 2022–2023. The study's population

consisted of 58 students, both male and female. There are thirty (30) students

from BTLED IV-I and twenty-eight (28) students from BTLED IV-2. In the current

study, the chosen respondents had a special relationship with the phenomenon

under investigation, as the researchers aimed to assess the level of competency

and self-efficacy of fourth-year students in Technical and Livelihood Education.

The researchers believed that these respondents could provide useful

information by answering the survey questionnaire distributed to them.

Sampling Procedure

In this study, a total of fifty-eight (58) students from the Bachelor of

Technology and Livelihood Education (BTLED) were chosen as participants. The

participants are from BTLED 4-1 and BTLED 4-2 from Colegio ng Lungsod ng

Batangas who are enrolled in Academic Year 2022–2023. Given the fact that this

study intends to assess the level of competency and self-efficacy of the students

in technical and livelihood education, the study's respondents were chosen using

a purposive sampling technique. Purposive sampling, according to Sekaran and


Republika ng Pilipinas
Lungsod ng Batangas
Colegio ng Lungsod ng Batangas
Contact No. (043) 402-1450

Bougie (2010), selects participants by looking at the most appropriate stance to

provide appropriate information because they possessed the required information

or adhered to the specified sampling criteria. 

Data Gathering Instrument

The main instrument used in this study are survey questionnaire. These

chosen instruments will be used in the collection of data to test the validity and

reliability of the research study being conducted. A systematically prepared set of

questions was designed to gather the needed data from respondents. The

researcher began by creating a survey questionnaire which based from the

competencies listed and specified in the Commission on Higher Education's

curriculum guide for Bachelor in Technology and Livelihood Education. All the

questions provided are way for the researcher to identify the competency level of

the respondents in terms of disciplinal knowledge and pedagogical competency.

In terms of determining the self-efficacy of the students

During the formulation of questions, the researchers were assisted by their

research adviser.

Part I deals with the socio-demographic profile which consists of age, gender, birth

order, combined family income, parents’ highest educational attainment, and perception in the

career helping profession. The second part deals with the student’s level of self-efficacy and the

last part was the correlation between identified profile and self-efficacy of the grade 10

students. The questions were carefully selected from the career development questionnaire to

answer the specific questions that the researchers were formulated.

The instrument was used to answer the research objectives related to the level of

competencies of TLE junior high school teachers and their competency needs in teaching

specialization courses of TLE. The questionnaire consisted of three parts. The first part focuses

on the personal and professional characteristics of TLE teachers, including age, sex, are of

specialization, number of years in teaching, highest educational attainment, seminars and

trainings attended, and number of completed and presented researches. The second part

includes the level of competencies along the four areas: home economics, agri-fishery arts,

information, and communications technology ang industrial arts. The last part involves the

competencies of TLE teachers

The main instrument used in this study was a survey questionnaire which was

developed by the researcher based from the Commission on Higher Education curriculum guide

in Bachelor of technology and livelihood education.

The questionnaire was validated by asking a jury of university instructors to give their remarks

about the questionnaire. Their suggestions were taken into consideration by deleting and adding

some items.

A questionnaire was developed as

The main instrument used in this study was a survey questionnaire checklist which was

developed by the researcher based from the K to 12 Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan

and Technology and Livelihood Education Curriculum Guide. The test was composed of two

parts. Part I is a teacher questionnaire which seeks information about the teacher’s profile and

part II includes questionnaire on competencies of Grade 6 teachers along Technology and

Livelihood Education.

In terms of determining the self-efficacy of the students, this study used the general

self-efficacy scale developed by Schwarzer and Jerusalem (1995). This instrument uses a four-

point Likert scale, ranging from 1 (“not at all true”) to 4 (“exactly true”). This scale consists of 10

statements aimed to assess the strength of an individual's belief in his or her ability to respond

to novel or stressful situations and deal with any associated obstacles.

under DepEd Order No. 8, s. 2015 and based on the Form 138 of the DepEd to interpret

the competency level.

The form of the questionnaire was a closed-ended question. The

questionnaire consists of students' perceptions and problems encountered with

the use of Google Workspace with regards to Google Sites, Google Classroom,

Google Drive, and Google Docs. The survey questionnaires are composed of two

main parts. The first part aims at gaining the profile of the respondents, such as

age, gender, and year level. The second part consists of determining the

perceptions and problems encountered by respondents regarding the utilization

of Google Workspace. In the second part of the survey form, a Likert scale is
Republika ng Pilipinas
Lungsod ng Batangas
Colegio ng Lungsod ng Batangas
Contact No. (043) 402-1450

used. When responding to a Likert item, respondents specify their level of

agreement with a statement. The scale is named after its inventor, psychologist

Rensis Likert. On a Likert scale prepared by the researchers, there are four likert

items. The Likert items have a corresponding scale from strongly agree (4),

agree (3), disagree (2), strongly disagree (1) on which a subject indicates his or

her response by checking tick marks. These scales are used to see how BTLED

students perceive the utilization of Google workspace.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers will prepare a letter for approval to conduct the study at

Colegio ng Lungsod ng Batangas to distribute the sample questionnaires to fifty-

eight (58) BTLED students. The researcher will be using an online survey

questionnaire through Google Form to distribute the questionnaire. After the

validation of the instrument, the questionnaires were administered to the chosen

respondents for the study to gather relevant data. The participants will also allot

their valuable time to answer the survey questionnaire. After the data has been

collected, it will be examined and explained with the use of appropriate statistical

tools.

Contact No. (043) 402-1450

In order to determine and describe the level of competency of the BTLED

students a four-point scale will be used to score responses to the questionnaire

items. The range and verbal interpretations are as follows:

3.50 – 4.00 Advanced – competency level is above the requirements

2.50 – 3.49 Thorough – competency level clearly meets the requirements

1.50 – 2.49 Acceptable – competency level meets the requirement in limited

extent

1.00 – 1.49 Partial – competency level is below the requirement

Statistical Treatment

To interpret the gathered data, the researcher will use various

measurable instruments. The data will be tallied, computed, and presented in a

clear and concise manner.

The data gathered were organized, analyzed, tabulated and interpreted by the use of

the appropriate statistical tools and measures.

We collected the quantitative data by conducting a reading and writing

test and through a questionnaire. The reading and writing test aided in

the collection of data from instructors regarding the performance of the

students in reading and writing, and the questionnaire was used to obtain

data regarding the attitudes of the students toward the Google Classroom

Lungsod ng Batangas
Colegio ng Lungsod ng Batangas
Contact No. (043) 402-1450

App. The researchers adopted a standardized reading and writing test. The

reading part of the test consisted of 15 multiple-choice questions, whereas

the writing part consisted of 15 fill in the blank questions. To achieve the

reliability of the tests, the researchers computed their psychometric

characteristics (difficulty parameters and discrimination parameters) after

applying them on a pilot sample of 22 students. As Lord (1980, p. 21)

confirmed that only questions with difficulty parameters ranged between

0.20 and 0.85 and discrimination parameters ranged between 0.20 and

0.80 were acceptable, the results showed that all the test questions

difficulty parameters and discrimination parameters were accepted.

Furthermore, we developed an attitude scale questionnaire to collect

data on stu-dents’ attitudes toward the app in terms of its ease of use,

usefulness, and accessibility. It consisted of 16 items distributed among 3

domains: usefulness domain, ease of use domain, and accessibility

domain. The questionnaire was validated by asking a jury of university

instructors to give their remarks about the questionnaire. Their

suggestions were taken into consideration by deleting and adding some

items. The reliability of the questionnaire was tested by choosing a pilot

sample consisting of 22 students. Cronbach’s alpha was estimated to test

The researcher started with the development of a research instrument in which its contents

came from the competencies stipulated and prescribed in the curriculum guide of the

Commission on Higher Education.

The main instrument used in this study was a survey questionnaire checklist which was

developed by the researcher based from the K to 12 Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan

and Technology and Livelihood Education Curriculum Guide

The questionnaire was validated by asking a jury of university instructors to give their remarks

about the questionnaire. Their suggestions were taken into consideration by deleting and adding

some items.

This study is anchored to the Philippine TVET Trainers Qualification Framework as it provides the

national core standards and qualifications to produce highly competent technology and

livelihood education professionals. The PTTQF helps ensure that BTLED students have adequate

and relevant competencies in the area of technical and vocational teacher education and meet

the standards set by the Philippine TVET-Trainers-Assessors Qualifications Framework (PTTQF).

Since the PTTQF aims to develop highly competent and motivated teachers in Technology and

Livelihood Education in their area of specialization, this framework is useful for researchers in

determining the expected competencies and outcomes among Bachelor of Technology and

Livelihood Education students.

There are four qualifications in TVET trainer’s training: TQ1 (Trainer1), TQ

II (Trainer2), TQ III (Senior Trainer) and TQ IV (Mentor/Master Trainer). The

competencies required in the qualification levels in TVET are a combination of
