Contextualized Assessment Tool for Grade 9 Students in Choosing the Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) Specialization Courses: Inputs for a Proposed Intervention Program

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

This research study aimed to seek answers through contextualized assessment tools for grade 9 students at Rizal High School during the school year 2023-2024. This study was undertaken during the fourth grading period of the school year 2022-2023 of batch A respondents and the first grading period of the school year 2023-2024 of batch B respondents. The assessment tool that was developed relative to the perceived needs of the grade 9 student respondents was 42-item contextualized questionnaire based on John Holland's Career Choice Theory (RIASEC). The evaluation of the experts on the contextualized assessment tool got a total grand mean of 3.78 which is interpreted as strongly agree in the following indicators: content, relevance, clarity and coherence. In addition, the prevailing trait of grade 9 student respondents in Batch A and B is on social aspect that accounts for 27.78% of the respondents and the lowest trait that reflects on the conducted survey is on enterprising that accounts for 5.83% of the student respondents. The prevailing TLE specialization based on the result of the contextualized questionnaire of grade 9 student respondents is cookery which has 46.67% for Batch A and B. Next to it is on dressmaking which got the percentage of 14.86%. On the other hand, the least TLE specialization fell on Electrical Installation and Maintenance (EIM) with 3.47% as least interesting TLE specialization to take. With a p-value of 0.00 and at the significance level of 0.05, the social trait, as the highest overall RIASEC trait result had an effect on the grade nine respondents’ choice of TLE specialization after the administration of the contextualized assessment tool. Also, with a p-value of 0.00, at the significance level of 0.05, the relationship between the sex of student-respondents and the TLE specialization result of the contextualized assessment tool is statistically significant.
