Abstract:
This study was conducted to determine the readiness of the TLE teacher in the implementation of K to 12 program in Tarlac City Schools Division. The descriptive survey technique was used in the conduct of this study. The researcher utilized profiler and survey questionnaires to gather the necessary data. The data were gathered,analyzed and interpreted using the simple frequency counts, percentage and weighted mean. This study also exposed that the readiness level of teachers in teaching Cookery, Housekeeping and Computer System is considered high considering the fact that most of the competencies under the said areas of specialization were rated "Expert". The teachers' readiness level in Bread and Pastry Production, Dressmaking, Food and Beverage Servicing, Shielded Metal Arc Welding, Electrical Installation and Maintenance and Agricultural Crop Production is quite low. The competencies under these areas of specialization were rated "Practitioner" which means there is a need for the teachers to improve their performances in regard to these aspects. Relevantly, the readiness level of the teachers in the teaching of Wellness and Massage is considered weak. The competencies under this area were mostly rated "Apprentice'. The teachers need to learn more of the competencies involved. Furthermore, the study disclosed that the teachers are significantly strong, which means they are expert in the teaching of three (3) areas of specialization such as Cookery, Housekeeping and Computer System Servicing. However, the study also confirmed that the teachers need to improve in the seven (7) areas of specialization. These are Bread and Pastry production, Dressmaking, Food and Beverages Servicing Shielded Metal Arc Welding, Electrical Installation and Maintenance and Agricultural Crop Production. Finally, through this study, a relevant training program was proposed to address the teacher weaknesses in some areas of specialization..
