Abstract
This research aimed to investigate the school learning action cell (SLAC) program designed for Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) teachers across their respective specialized areas to examine the challenges they encountered, the coping mechanism they employed, the monitoring and evaluation they employed and the significant relationship of the SLAC program and challenges encountered of TLE teachers to the coping mechanism. The correlational research method was utilized to explore the school intervention programs and TLE teachers’ management of challenges within their specialized fields. The respondents were 150 secondary TLE teachers from selected junior and senior high schools in San Pedro City, Laguna. The researcher utilized a researcher-made questionnaire to collect the data. Analysis revealed that the level of SLAC programs was High; however, the level of challenges encountered was Moderately High, and the level of the teachers’ coping mechanisms was very high. Regularly monitoring and evaluating the SLAC programs significantly impacted TLE teachers' coping mechanisms across their specializations. There was a significant relationship between the challenges encountered by teacher respondents and their coping mechanisms. Based on the findings, it is concluded that the SLAC programs for TLE teachers have significant relationship with their coping mechanisms, leading to the rejection of the null hypothesis. Additionally, there is a significant relationship between the challenges encountered by teachers and their coping mechanisms; therefore, the hypothesis is also rejected. This implied that the program positively influences how these teachers cope with the challenges they face in their teaching roles. The researcher advances that educational training is crucial for TLE teachers to develop professional competence. It is essential to raise awareness of the SLAC program among teachers. Their advantages may be more understood through workshops, seminars, and information sessions, providing teachers with extra skills and strategies to handle challenges and improve their teaching abilities.
