Training Regulation-Based and Entrepreneurship-Based Approaches in Teaching Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) Exploratory Courses in the K to 12 Program at Leyte Normal University

Abstract

In education, there is a continuing search for methods, strategies, techniques and approaches that can best meet today’s challenges. The study sought to determine the appropriateness of the teaching approaches in TLE exploratory courses. These teaching approaches are the Entrepreneurial-based teaching approach and training regulations- based teaching approach. A Fish-bowl selection method was used in the study. Fifty (50) Integrated Laboratory School (ILS) pupils of grades 7 and 8 were the respondents including four (4) TLE teachers.  Four (4) themes emerged to contribute in the preference between the two teaching approaches.  These are the geographic location, family background, studying experiences and academic performance. The results further revealed that for the students it does not matter what specific approach is used as long as they enjoyed and fun during the class.
