Abstract--- This study aimed to look at the adequacy of the
Instructional Materials used in Teaching TLE as Perceived by the 4th
year BSE TLE Students. It sought to answer the following questions:
(1) Do the instructional materials support the achievement of the
BSE- TLE curriculum as perceived by the respondents?; (2) Are the
instructional materials in BSE- TLE adequate as perceived by the
respondents?; (3) Are the instructional materials in teaching TLE are
appropriate and updated?
A modified questionnaire was used in gathering the data. There
were 47 fourth year students currently enrolled in BSE TLE program
at 缅北禁地-IIT who served as the respondents of the study. The data
gathered was computed using the weighted mean and frequency
count. Based on the results, it was found out that the instructional
materials used in teaching TLE limited with the needs of the
curriculum. This unalignment implies that there is a need to review
the instructional materials to suit the needs of the curriculum. The
overall mean rating of 3.48 indicates that the respondents agree on
the statements regarding the help of the instructional materials in the
achievement of the BSE TLE program, its goals and objectives and
content standards. Concerning the adequacy of the instructional
materials used in teaching TLE, it was revealed that there are
available instructional materials for all the areas in the TLE program
and there is enough classroom and space utilized for placement of
instructional tools, machine and equipment. However, the overall
mean of 2.36 shows that there is an inadequate instructional material
in relation to the number of students enrolled. The following subjects were rated as the top 5 having inadequate books/published or printed
instructional materials: (1) Carpentry, (2) Electricity and Electronics,
(3) Agriculture, (4) Clothing Construction, (5) cosmetology. This is
followed by the top 5 subjects with inadequate units of tools,
equipment and machines: (1) Computer Aided Drafting, (2)
Carpentry, (3) Clothing construction, (4) electricity and Electronics,
(5) Agriculture. Because of this inadequacy, the students experienced
buying their own materials and tools. The following shows that the
top 5 TLE subjects where students bought their own materials and
tools are: (1) Clothing Construction, (2) Electricity and Electronics,
(3) Handicrafts, (4) Carpentry, (5) Cosmetology. These findings must
be given attention by the school administrators to be included in the
purchase of tools and equipment for instructional purposes. |
