Innovative Digital Pedagogical Approaches for Grade 7 TLE: Enhanced Instruction for MATATAG Curriculum

Manolito Berdin

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study aimed to develop and assess a digital pedagogical tool designed to enhance instructional strategies for Grade 7 Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) under the MATATAG curriculum. Focusing on Lapu-Lapu City Division for the first semester of school year 2024 -2025, the research evaluated the acceptability of the tool by examining its alignment with curriculum standards, technological capabilities, and impact on teaching effectiveness. The research design was quantitative which considered descriptive statistics as method of analysis of the survey results. The study involved 140 respondents, including 120 Grade 7 TLE students and 20 TLE teachers. Key areas of investigation included the demographic profile of the respondents, the technological conditions of current teaching methods, and the technical requirements for developing the tool. The findings revealed that the tool was deemed "very highly acceptable" (VHA) in terms of content relevance, technical support, and usability. However, challenges such as infrastructure limitations, the need for ongoing professional development, and the importance of ensuring that the tool stays current and functional were identified. The research concluded that the digital tool had the potential to significantly improve instructional strategies in TLE but emphasized the need for continuous teacher training, improved infrastructure, and regular updates. Recommendations include enhancing connectivity, providing regular technical support, and ensuring the tool’s alignment with evolving curriculum standards. The study's findings underscore the importance of integrating technology in TLE to foster better learning outcomes and enhance the educational experience for both teachers and students.
