INTRODUCTION

I. Context and Rationale

School curriculum, facilities, and instructional materials provide students

with a foundation of knowledge in preparing for their desired careers in the future. One

of the learning areas implemented in the K to 12 Basic Education Program is Technology

and Livelihood Education (T.L.E). This subject area encompasses four components:

Agri-Fishery Arts, Home Economics, Industrial Arts, and Information and

Communication Technology. Home economics includes Cookery as one of its

instructional contents.

According to Clea Enriquez (2013), “The Significance and Relevance of

T.L.E) in Our Daily Life” explains that technology and livelihood education is very much

essential in our daily lives. Specifically, Cookery provides students with knowledge,

attitude, values, and skills that are relevant to the field of cooking. It contains instructions

that develop and hone the skills of students as well as comprehend and master the core

competencies presented in the TESDA Training Regulation in Cookery.

Teaching is an intricate process that transcends from the classroom to a

real-life situation (Palmer, 1997). It is not just a matter of explaining the concepts and

terminologies but also allowing the students to experience concretely the things being

taught. These educational ideals are parallel to the prime objective of Technology and

Livelihood Education (T.L.E).

Cooking requires specific tools, utensils, and equipment for the proper and

efficient preparation of food. The researcher observes that students in Campagao High

2
School have little knowledge of kitchen tools. Students forget to realize that there are

more kitchen tools rather than the ones found in their homes. Moreover, the researcher

perceives that students in Campagao High School actively participate more in the

learning experience rather than sit as passive listeners.

Olayinka (2016) concluded that those students who were taught with

instructional materials performed better than those taught without the instructional

materials. Asio et al. (2020) expounded that the strategized methods form as research and

innovation, learning interventions and remediation practices expand learning in the scope

of student retention were evident in assessing the student’s performance task.

Based on the above mentioned, the researcher was motivated that Hands-on

Activities give students both the freedom and responsibility to learn through real

experience, rather than through simply reading or listening to somebody else. Learning

through hands-on methods has a number of advantages over “traditional” education

(Arnholz, 2019).

II. Action Research Questions

The purpose of this study is to determine the effectiveness of providing hands-on

activities as a strategy to improve the learners’ knowledge about the kitchen tools of

Grade 7 learners, Campagao High School, Bilar District, School Year 2022 – 2023.

Specifically, it seeks to answer the questions:

1. What is the level of knowledge of the learners before and after implementation of

the provision activities?

3
2. How effective is the provision of hands-on activities as a strategy in improving

the knowledge of kitchen tools of the Grade 7 learners?
