ABSTRACT
Dressmaking is one of the specializations offered in Technical Vocational High School- Strengthened Technical Education Program curriculum in the Philippines. Dressmaking covers the application of modern approach to attune with the rapid changes of technology. Dressmaking aims to prepare high school students with skills needed in the industry.
The main concern of this study was to develop a Technology-Based Instructional Materials for Dressmaking to enhance the skills of the students. The passion to enhance students’ potentials to the fullest was the main goal of the developed Technology-Based Instructional Materials. It included the development of students’ work habits, work ethics, and skills that develop their productivity to equip them with skills to become a globally competitive individual.
This study aimed to determine the effectiveness and level of acceptability of the developed Technology-based Instructional Materials in Dressmaking Grade 9.
Specifically, it sought answers to the following sub-problems:
1. What is the extent of utilization of Instructional Materials in Dressmaking Grade 9?
2. Based on the findings, what instructional materials maybe developed?
3. How do teachers and experts assessed the proposed Technology-based Instructional Materials in terms of:
3.1 Content
3.1.1 Objectives;
3.1.2 Learning elements;
3.1.3 Application/Laboratory Activities; and
3.1.4 Evaluation
3.2 Acceptability
3.2.1 Organization;
3.2.2 Clarity;
3.2.3 Navigation;
3.2.4 Language and presentation; and
3.2.5 Usefulness.
4. Is there significant difference in the assessment of the two groups of respondents as to above mentioned variables?
5. How do students perform during the pretest and posttest after using the Technology-Based Instructional Materials in Dressmaking?
6. Is there significant difference between the performance of the pretest and posttest?
The study hypothesized that:
1. There is no significant difference between the assessment made by the experts and teachers on the level of acceptability of the developed Technology-Based Instructional Materials in Dressmaking Grade 9 as to aforementioned variables.
2. There is no significant difference between the pretest and posttest of the students after the utilization of the Technology-Based Instructional Materials in Dressmaking Grade 9.
