Abstract
The study's main goal was to investigate the technology-based teaching strategies of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) teachers and their effect on the performance of Grade 7 learners. It specifically tried to answer several key questions about the extent of use of technology-based learning tools used by teachers. It also sought to determine the perceived level of learners’ motivation and performance in written examinations and practical tests, and the significant effect of technology-based teaching strategies in TLE on learners’ motivation and their performance.
The perceived level of learners’ motivation was interpreted as Always Observed, which means that the goals and aspirations, interest and curiosity, self-efficacy and confident, teacher-learner relationship, and parental peer support are crucial for improving students' learning and motivation. The level of learner’s performance in terms of written examinations and practical tests had descriptive equivalent of Outstanding and verbally interpreted as Closely Approximating Mastery.
Based on the findings, technology integration tools do not substantially affect learners’ motivation, leading to the acceptance of the hypothesis. The analysis conducted on the integration of technology-based learning tools in TLE revealed that among the predictors, only audio-visual had a marginally significant effect on learners’ performance, leading to the acceptance of both hypotheses. This means that technology integration tools do not substantially impact learners' motivation, and resources might be better redirected toward other aspects of the learning experience or used to enhance technology implementation strategies.
Therefore, TLE teachers should use technology-based learning tools in their classes. The students should develop a personal interest in using audio visuals, vlogs, video presentations, game-based/gamification, and podcasts. They should be promoted in teaching TLE subjects and be made available and affordable, especially to educators, educational institutions, and students who should be exposed to technology-based learning tolls to improve their performance in written and practical tests in TLE subjects.
