4 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) Honorable Helena Zoila T. Benitez Founding President 1948-1956 Founded in 1948, the Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) is a professional organization concerned with the promotion of Home Economics and its allied Discipline - Agri-Fishery Arts, Industrial Arts, Information and Communications Technology and Entrepreneurship. It brings together institutions, organizations, associations, and individuals to improve Home Economics Education and its allied Discipline, formally and informally. Embracing the disciplines of both the social and natural sciences and the arts, Home Economics steadily evolves to meet the changing needs of society in the Philippines, while respecting cultural differences, and at the same time carrying on international relationships with other countries. PHEA participated in the "World Survey of Home and Family Education" conducted by IFHE in 185 countries. The growth of the PHEA parallels that of the emergence of home economics as a profession with the major role not only in Home Management and family welfare but also in environmental and food production concerns. PHEA is a national Non-Governmental Organization of home economists and allied professionals in the Philippines and has long standing ties with American Home Economics Association (now American Association of Family and Consumer Science) since 1970.

10 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) COUNTRY REPORT 21st ARAHE Biennial International Congress August 7 - 11, 2023 Armada Hotel, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia Professional Organizations: An Agent in Integrating Home Economics Knowledge and Skills Towards the New Wave of Industrial Revolution Mr. Albert M. Rosarda Junior High School Department, Faculty of Technology and Livelihood Education Colegio de San Juan de Letran, Intramuros, Manila, Philippines President, Philippine Home Economics Association [email protected] Home Economics or Family Consumer Sciences, whichever we are using as a nomenclature, is a field of education that prepares learners with the life skills needed to live a more functional life. HE or FCS is also a means of introducing career paths to students. In a study entitled “Home Economics Curriculum Changes in Philippine Basic Education”, Aurora Llige of the College of Home Economics at the University of the Philippines pointed out the strong and unified active participation of the community of scholars. The Community of Scholars, also known as the Professional Organizations, is necessary to campaign for strengthening home economics because it is a vital subject area. Home Economics is a vital subject area because it addresses basic needs and life situations and equips learners with knowledge, skills, and values that should be integrated into the new wave of the Industrial Revolution. Professional Organizations have a very significant role in curriculum change. We have to take note that a curriculum change will have a huge effect on the Knowledge and Skills that an institution will provide to its learners. The focus of this discussion is the role of Professional Organizations as agents in Integrating Home Economics Knowledge and Skills Toward the New Wave of the Industrial Revolution. This discussion is focused more on the significant role of Professional Organizations in Integrating Home Economics Knowledge and Skills Toward the New Wave of the Industrial Revolution and not much on the Home Economics Knowledge and Skills. We should realize then how important are the Professional Organization members and more so an officer in achieving the smooth integration of the various Home Economics Knowledge and Skills to the learners towards the new wave of the Industrial Revolution. Education around the world has changed so much and is still continuously changing. As Education changes, the curriculum is never an exception. Scholars, whether they are in or out of the circle of the Community of Scholars or Professional Organizations used different nomenclature, but no matter what we call them, they all refer to the same set of factors that are both internal and external to the curriculum.

11 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) Llige identified the various internal and external factors that influence curriculum change, and they are the Internal-discipline characteristics, discipline status, and professional organization, with these three internal factors are the external-politics, economy, technology, and socio-culture factors. Focusing on the Internal-professional organization, according to the 9th Edition of the Models of Teaching, Professional Organizations are healthy sources of information related to curricular and instructional materials. They are a source of advice and networking opportunities with other educators through their conferences and interest groups. Aurora Llige further articulated that professional organizations also influence curriculum change. To her, the members of professional organizations are specialists in their field and thus highly respected. Most of the time, consultation and discussions with professional organizations are considered in relation to matters about curriculum change. Furthermore, the support of professional organizations is also used in order to strengthen the position for or against a change in the curriculum. Educators play a vital role in the educational process. Proper education improves understanding of the world. Proper interpretation of information requires education. It is in that process of interpreting and integrating the Home Economics Knowledge and Skills that educators have a crucial role. What is a dap? A dap is a greeting or an expression of admiration in which two people knock their fists together. Dapping is also the slapping of palms as a form of greeting a friend. Dap is also known as an elaborate handshake, especially hooking thumbs, and a friendly gesture of greeting. Why is dap related to Professional Organization Involvement? Greetings! Various Organizations have their own ways of greeting. In as much as a dap or greeting someone is part of a Professional Organization’s Involvement, dap is the foundation of “The dap of Professional Organization Involvement”. Letter d stands for develop, a for associate, and p stands for passion. develop - Why would you get involved in a Professional Organization? Are you looking for professional contacts? Do you need a mentor? Are you looking for educational opportunities, certifications, and seminars that will further our professional knowledge? If your answer is YES, you should consider Professional Organization Involvement seriously. Professional organizations conduct activities geared towards every member’s development. In an article published by the Indeed Editorial Team, Professional organizations can help you find a new career or cultivate skills while working in your current job. Including professional organizations on your resume shows your willingness to increase your involvement, regardless of the stage of your career. Showing your commitment to growth and community involvement demonstrates the qualities you need to fill an open role with an organization. associate - “Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are.” - a Russian Proverb. Your association or connection with a professional organization enhances your profile. Having an association with a professional organization on your resume says that you are committed to your professional wellbeing.

12 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) Associating yourself with a professional organization broadens your reach. The possibility of going places is limitless. Attending activities here and abroad is easier if you are associated with a professional organization. My association with the Philippine Home Economics Association and the Asian Regional Association for Home Economics give me opportunities to travel whenever we are conducting ocular visits and attending seminars locally and internationally. passion - According to Gretchen Rubin, passion gives us the reason to keep learning and to work toward mastery. Passion doesn’t just bring happiness to the person who enjoys it. It also brings a second-hand pleasure to the people around. A passionate individual exhibits very strong feelings about something or a strong belief in something. How will you know where you’re passionate about? You may try listing the things you love to do. According to Socrates, “Man knows thyself.” It is very important that we know ourselves. What do we love to do most? We have to take note that knowing what we love to do and how we know ourselves is an important part of our journey to discovering our passion. The model of the dap of Professional Organization Involvement is an Isosceles Triangle. Involvement in a professional organization is about developing meaningful interactions with fellow professionals. Why do we have to join and be seriously involved in a Professional Organization? Getting involved in a professional organization gives us endless benefits in various ways. Getting involved helps us develop professionally. It is also an avenue for us to enjoy the unlimited perks of being affiliated. And being involved in a professional organization supports us to deepen our passion. Whenever you are asked to be a member of a professional organization, just recall the principles of Professional Organization Involvement - Develop, Associate, and Passion. How can we effectively integrate the Home Economics knowledge and skills towards the new wave of the industrial revolution? With that question, there is no absolute answer. I can only say that “To integrate Home Economics knowledge and skills into the new wave of the industrial revolution, an operative Professional Organization’s Involvement is essential.” Taking our time to travel from our respective country to be here at this Congress is a manifestation of seriousness in finding ways of integrating Home Economics knowledge and skills towards the new wave of industrial revolution. Consider having an operative Professional Organization Involvement and continuously Develop, Associate, and be Passionate.

15 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) PARALLEL TRAINING SESSION A. AGRI-FISHERY ARTS 1. Fish Processing, John Kenneth B. De Gula, Valenzuela City Fish is one of the protein foods that needs careful handling because fish spoils easily after capturing due to the high tropical temperature here in the Philippines which accelerates the activities of bacteria, enzymes and chemical oxidation of fat in the fish. Fish can be processed by drying, salting, smoke treatment, freezing and deep freezing or freeze drying but due to high costs of processing and preservation of fish, many of local fish processor use age old, simplest, cost effective and environment friendly traditional methods to remove scales and sun drying and one main product under this process is “Tuyo”. Many Filipinos are very well known for eating “Tuyo” since it is one of the most budget friendly foods and is available to every class in the economy. In the business industry, they upgraded this ingredient to a more delicious and nutritious one which in turn is known as “Gourmet Tuyo”. When I was still working in a restaurant as a pasta cook, there was a dish “Aglio Olio” that uses anchovies as its main ingredient. Then I try to use “Gourmet Tuyo” instead of anchovies because “Gourmet Tuyo” is cheaper than anchovies. I was so happy that the result was great. The taste was closely the same when I used “Gourmet Tuyo” instead of anchovies. Nowadays, “Gourmet Tuyo” can be used as an ingredient to prepare different dishes like “Aglio Olio” which is a dish that some well-known restaurants offer today. “Gourmet Tuyo” can be eaten also as it is instead of eating the regular “Tuyo” that has many benefits because of its additional nutritional ingredients. Learning how to prepare “Gourmet Tuyo” will give an opportunity to operate a small business with a minimal cost and resources. 2. Vertical Gardening, Marilou G. Filoteo, Bacolod City In a world facing increasing environmental challenges and limited space for traditional gardening, the Kratky Method offers an innovative solution for vertical home gardening. This demonstration aims to empower individuals with the knowledge and practical skills needed to grow fresh and sustainable produce using recyclable materials. The Kratky Method, originally developed by Dr. Bernard Kratky, is a hydroponic technique that requires no electricity or complex equipment. This method's simplicity and resource efficiency make it an ideal choice for urban and small-space gardening. By utilizing recyclable materials such as plastic containers, bottles, and other household items, participants will learn how to create cost-effective and environmentally friendly vertical garden systems.

16 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) This hands-on demonstration will guide participants through the step-by-step process of setting up their own Kratky-inspired vertical gardens. Topics covered will include container selection, nutrient solutions, plant selection, maintenance, and troubleshooting common issues. Participants will gain insights into how to maximize crop yields while minimizing water usage and waste production. The session will emphasize the sustainability aspect of the Kratky Method, highlighting its ability to reduce the carbon footprint associated with food production and distribution. Additionally, the workshop will explore the benefits of using recyclable materials, promoting a circular economy and responsible consumption. By the end of this demonstration, participants will have a comprehensive understanding of the Kratky Method and be equipped with the skills to embark on their own vertical home gardening journey, contributing to a more sustainable and self-sufficient future. The materials needed are: coco peat, recyclable plastic bottles, eggshells, brick wood scrap (for display, abaca twine, hydroponics solution A and B, paint (for decoration), plants (vegetables or ornamentals), and water (rainwater or one-dayold water to neutralize chlorine). The first step is to prepare all the materials needed. Boil the coco peat to remove any bacteria. Wash the eggshells, then stir-fry them and break them into small pieces. Cut the recyclable plastic bottle containers into desired shapes and sizes for your gardening pots. Use rainwater or let tap water sit for a day to allow chlorine to dissipate. Mix coco peat and eggshells to create a growing medium that provides nutrients and support for the plants. Fill the plastic bottles with the mixed coco peat and eggshells, leaving enough space at the top for planting the ornamental or vegetable plants. Fill the other half of the plastic bottle container with rainwater or one-day-old water. This will provide the plants with the necessary moisture. Mix solution A and solution B according to the instructions on the hydroponics solution packaging. Generally, you'll use 5ml of each solution for half a liter of water. Add this nutrient solution to the water in the plastic bottle. Prepare the abaca twine to create a hanger for the lower portion of the plastic bottle with water and nutrient solution. This will hold the bottle securely in place. Hang the plastic bottles with vegetable or ornamental plants on the decorative wood scrap for display in your desired area. Ensure they are securely attached to prevent accidents. Optionally, decorate the plastic bottles with paint to add a touch of creativity to your vertical garden. Regular Maintenance: Don't forget to monitor the water and nutrient levels regularly. Top up the nutrient solution as needed and ensure the plants receive adequate sunlight. By following these steps, you can create a sustainable and visually appealing vertical home garden using the Kratky Method with recyclable materials. It's a great way to grow plants while recycling and reducing waste.

17 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) B. HOME ECONOMICS 1. Personality Development and Beauty Care - Imelda C. Regala, Manila Mary Kay Company has been giving Image or Personality development programs / training to address the ever-increasing demand for excellence from employees/teachers.

Menor, Taguig City The TLE-Home Economics course on handicrafts is founded on entrepreneurship. The objective is to demonstrate key competencies, particularly in Macramé, through a variety of appropriate, skilled, and knowledgeable handcrafted article activities. This instructional material concentrated on getting the tools and supplies ready for making macramé. In line with this, this Macrame Owl Wall Hanging was one of the most wellknownmacramé pieces from the 1970s that will serve as a useful supplement for you to be equipped with skills related to livelihood and resource generation and which is timely in the implementation of the K-12 curriculum. Routinely as a whole, you will earn knowledge and skills pertinent to vocational-technical education. Now that macrame is experiencing a return in popularity, they're back! With various cord colors or bead sizes, you may personalize your owl. If you want, you may even use beads in various shapes. With this macrame craft, there are many fun ways to pass the time. It’s not a particularly large macrame owl pattern because the finished height of this owl is only 10 " tall (from the dowel to the tail) and about 8" across from wing to wing.

18 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) For a different aesthetic, you may use a shorter dowel than I did or another stick from outside for the top dowel. For the top, all you need is a dowel that is at least 5 inches long. It will fit well in a small space on the wall of your living room, foyer, or bathroom. Although this design is quite simple, you should be familiar with some fundamental knots before beginning such as Lark’s head knot, alternating knot, square knot, and double half hitch knot. Making the Macrame Owl for Wall-hanging will provide the participants with the appropriate knowledge, attitude, values, and skills necessary to produce quality products for target clients while exploring the possibility of venturing to be one of the leading procedures of macramé and becoming productive citizens of our society. Participants will need macrame cords (cotton cord, wax, satin, Japan cord or nylon cord), scissors, wooden beads, and twigs (optional). The materials during the demonstration will be provided by the demonstrators. Hoping for the cooperation of the participants and can create a Macrame Owl for Wall-Hanging. 3. Pumpkin Pasta Pesto - Shirley O. Magadia and Allan Cadeño, Quezon City It is a common sight to see people wearing eyeglasses not as a trend but to cope with everyday activities. Wearing eyeglasses or contact lenses is a hassle. It is not a joke to come to school or work without it and be stressed all day long. In 2019, 25.3% of children aged 2–17 years wore glasses or contact lenses, and the percentage increased with age among both boys and girls. Among boys, 3.0% wore glasses among those aged 2–5 years, 20.0% among those aged 6–11 years, and 35.3% among those aged 12–17 years. Among girls, the corresponding percentages are 3.1, 26.4, and 48.2. The percentage was higher among girls than boys overall and among those aged 6–11 years and 12–17 years, but not in the youngest age group. Source: National Center for Health Statistics, National Health Interview Survey, 2019. https://www.cdc.gov/nchs/nhis.htm A parallel survey was conducted in May of 2022, among Grade 11 students and teachers of Batasan Hills National High School. The result shows that 43% of students and 68% of teachers were found to have problems related to poor eyesight due to prolonged exposure to computer monitors, TV screens and gadgets like cell phones. Having this database, and as a teacher in cookery, the class came up with a project in response to the growing need for vitamin A supplement for good health, and to prevent eye problems. Initially, we experimented on pumpkin as a potential ingredient for fresh pasta which is everyone’s favorite noodles mixed with different sauces. Pumpkin Pasta in Pesto Sauce is being offered at the El Fresco Café in Batasan Hills National high School, and was featured in the early morning show of GMA-7 “Unang Hirit”. “Pumpkin Pasta in Pesto Sauce" is nutritious and a good source of vitamins and minerals. It is a good source of vitamin A, lutein and Zeaxanthin contents. It has high antioxidant content, boosts immunity, good for heart health and may

19 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) improve digestion. On the other hand, commercial pasta is stripped of the bran and germ during processing, removing many of the nutrients. The product Innovation “Pumpkin Pasta in Pesto Sauce" blends the essence of pasta made in pumpkin with the vibrant flavors of pesto sauce. Pumpkin's nutritious and versatile nature emphasizes its role as the foundation of this dish. Together with the aromatic herbs, garlic, powdered moringa, parmesan cheese and red palm oil, come together to create the vibrant pesto sauce that envelops the pasta. “Pumpkin Pasta in Pesto Sauce" is not just a snack but a complete meal. The product is indeed an expression of a nourishing culinary journey with a blend of tradition and innovation into a mastery of taste and texture that is both nourishing to one’s physical, health and wellbeing. The innovative product has been a favorite to many of the students and teachers. The project itself promotes sustainable, economic, and healthy lifestyle to alleviate nutritional deficiency among grade school students and teachers of Batasan Hills National High School. C. INDUSTRIAL ARTS 1. Revisiting Tools in Education Using Mobile Device, Maila M. Talamisan and Shella Marie A. Pascua Artificial intelligence (AI) is the ability of machines to perform tasks that normally require human intelligence, such as learning, reasoning, and problemsolving. AI has been advancing rapidly in recent years, creating new possibilities and challenges for various fields and sectors, including education and entrepreneurship. AI can enhance education by providing personalized learning platforms, adaptive feedback, intelligent tutoring systems, and data-driven insights. These tools can help educators and students to customize their learning experiences, improve their outcomes, and develop skills that are relevant for the future. AI can also foster creativity, collaboration, and critical thinking among learners, which are essential for entrepreneurial success. AI can also enable entrepreneurship by offering solutions to complex problems, improving decision-making processes, enhancing performance, and facilitating research and innovation. AI can help entrepreneurs to identify opportunities, analyze markets, optimize operations, and create value for their customers. AI can also help entrepreneurs to access information, resources, and networks that can support their ventures. 2. Technology and Livelihood Education - Information and Communications Technology (ICT-Illustration), Ms. Lizel Antalan-Ricablanca, Manila With the addition of Information and Communication Technology or ICT under the subject, Technology Education (TechVoc) being taught in Grade 9 and Grade 10, it has given the students an opportunity to dive into the world of computer-related stuff that could equip them if they chose to work on technology or computer related work.

20 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) The topic on Digital Art specifically, applying and changing color according to color harmonies includes images done completely on computer or hand-drawn images scanned into a computer or any gadgets such as phones or tablets; and finished it using a software program called Ibis PaintTM. This demonstration lecture is a self-paced approach where in you will work on different activities that are interesting and challenging. The performance activity focuses on encouraging our teachers to develop skills using creative imaging and manipulation of tools to create contemporary illustrations for publishing and design. The presence of ICT and the instructors make it easier for the lessons and its learner to revolve and continue to do their work. Technology-based instructions make learning easier for the present generation, but everyone should be aware that using it with moderation will make everyone’s lives comfortable and at ease. 3. Electronic Products Assembly and Servicing (EPAS) – Installation of CCTV System, JAYSON C. MOSCARE, Manila In today’s rapidly evolving world, ensuring security and surveillance is necessary.

25 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) ON-THE-SPOT PERFORMANCE EVALUATION OF GRADES 4-8 EPP/TLE LEARNERS IN THE DIVISION OF CITY SCHOOLS, MANILA, SY 2022-2023 ABSTRACT A ssessment is an integral part of the teaching-learning process. After and even during the delivery instruction, learners are assessed through various processes and tools appropriate to and congruent with learning competencies defined in the K to 12 curriculum. (DO 8, s. 2015). Currently, the available assessment tools provided by the Regional and Central Offices focus only on literacy and numeracy at certain grade levels. No assessment tools focusing on skills in EPP/TLE are available. It is on these premise that the Division of City Schools, Manila, through the Curriculum Implementation Division (CID), came up with the project, On-the-Spot Performance Evaluation (OSPE) among of Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan (EPP) and /Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) Learners in Grades 4 to 8. This project was conceptualized to 1. assess the performance of Grades 4 to 8 learners in various areas of EPP/TLE; 2. gather realistic data on the proficiency level of the learners in various performance tasks prescribed under the K to 12 curriculum; and 3. provide technical assistance to school heads/ Head Teachers/ Master Teachers/ teachers on the improvement and or enhancement of teaching strategies. A total of 850 elementary and 360 secondary learners learners randomly selected also from randomly selected 29 out of 105 (27.6%) schools were assessed on 16 skills in various areas namely, Home Economics, ICT, Agriculture, Industrial Education in the elementary level and TLE- Home Economics and Technology Education courses in the secondary level. Evaluation tools were crafted and validated before these were utilized. Supervisors from the Curriculum Implementation Division and Head Teachers were trained on the process of evaluation to ensure validity of the results.

28 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) 2023 Research Presentations COMMUNITY-BASED ASSISTANCE FOR RELEVANT EDUCATION (C.A.R.E) PROGRAM: ENHANCING THE TECHNICAL PERFORMANCE OF INDIGENOUS STUDENTS ABSTRACT This study determined the extent of effectiveness of the Project C.A.R.E Program in improving the technical performance of Indigenous students. The research utilized the Pre-test and Post-Test single group design to establish a scientific basis on the effectiveness of the program. The rubrics for product and process authentic assessment were employed to determine the technical performance of the indigenous students. The participants of this study were Indigenous Senior High School TVL students at Esperanza National High School. Technical performances of the participants were assessed and evaluated by the TLE teachers through rubrics. The program lasted for three months which included the skills demonstration, students’ skills demonstration and assessment, and community participation. Results of the studies show that the pre-test scores of the respondents were revealed as fair, which means that the students were able to demonstrate the basic skills but had committed several errors on the given criteria and had failed to manage their time. However, when the post-test was administered after taking the CARE program, there was a significant difference interpreted as Good which means that the students were able to improve their technical skills. The result showed that the CARE program has brought positive changes on the technical performance of the students. Thus, the Community-Based Assistance for Relevant Education [CARE] program was deemed to have contributed to the improvement of technical skills of SHS IP students. Therefore, the results of the study conclude that the higher the extent of utilization of Project CARE program to the students, the better their technical performance.

29 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) Hasmin Carillo - Fernando Culianan National High School Zamboanga City PERCEPTIONS AND FACTORS INFLUENCING GRADE 10 STUDENTS IN CHOOSING TECHNICAL VOCATIONAL LIVELIHOOD TRACK FOR SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL ABSTRACT This study investigates the perceptions of Grade 10 students towards the Technical Vocational Livelihood (TVL) track at Culianan National High School and identifies the factors influencing their choices. Using a structured survey, student’s responses were analyzed to discern their attitudes towards TVL subjects, career awareness, socioeconomic status, parental influence, peer pressure, personal preference, academic interest, and community regard. Additionally, the study explores whether there are significant differences in perceptions based on gender, family monthly income, and academic performance. The findings reveal that students generally view TVL subjects as manageable and engaging, challenging the perception of them being difficult or uninteresting. While some concerns exist about vocational education’s alignment with personal interests and the perception of peers and the community, students’ express confidence in their decisionmaking. The analysis indicates that parental influence and peer pressure play a role in shaping perceptions. Notably, there are no significant differences in perceptions across gender, family monthly income, and academic performance. Based on these insights, recommendations are provided to design intervention programs that enhance career awareness, engage parents, provide practical experiences, and challenge misconceptions, fostering a positive perception of vocational education.

30 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) EXPLORATORY COURSES IN SECONDARY SCHOOLS IN POBCARAN DISTRICT AND STUDENTS’ ACADEMIC PERFORMANCE IN TECHNOLOGY AND LIVELIHOOD EDUCATION: BASIS FOR INSTITUTIONALIZED TRAINING PROGRAM ABSTRACT This study determined the training program in selecting exploratory courses for Grade 7 and 8. The training program plays an integral part in implementation of the Technology and Livelihood Education curriculum. It allows students to motivate themselves in livelihood education and for teachers to monitor the learners progress and academic performance. This study aims to help the learners and the teachers to have more knowledge in selecting the exploratory course that the school will offer and students will have plenty of choices to choose from. It will help learners to have more experience on the exploratory course so that they will have a clear track as they advance to the next level of their academic careers. Proper selection of exploratory courses to be offered in Grade 7 and 8 will help learners to determine their strengths and weaknesses with regards to the subject of livelihood education. The Proposed Intervention Program developed in this study which addresses strategies for teachers on how to enhance the selection of the exploratory course and enhance strategies in teaching T.L.E exploratory courses using pedagogical approaches. Selection of exploratory courses should determine according to the available resources of the community and consider the students interest as well. It should be discussed by the school administrators, curriculum developer who is the master teacher and department head and the teacher. Although the result showed an overall highly implemented level of implementation of TLE exploratory courses, the schools must provide curriculum guide, teachers guide, learning module and other learning resources aligned to the offered course. If face-toface will be used as a mode of learning, the school heads in partnership with stakeholders should upgrade their facilities like laboratories in line with their exploratory course being offered. Through this effort learners will have more hands-on experience in the subject matter and it will help them appreciate the importance of the competencies in the subject Technology and Livelihood Education. Dan Johnson Badiang University of Caloocan City

31 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) The result implies that the Level of Implementation of TLE Exploratory Course in selected schools in the Division of Caloocan is Highly Implemented though they have implemented different courses per quarter. This conceivably perhaps that each school has the same grading point system in every exploratory course and they believed that these courses are aligned in Grade 9 and 10.

32 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) CHIPS FROM GOLDEN KUHOL ABSTRACT G olden Kuhol is one of the notorious pests that keep destroying the farmer’s crops causing harvest reduction. Farmers manage these creatures by picking them and turning them into feeds for their livestock or cooking them; Some still use a tremendous amount of synthesized anti-pests that are a pricey and broad range, impacting non-target creatures including humans and these methods aren’t generating income. And more than these methods are needed to control the pests. In the study conducted, the researchers used golden Kuhol as the new main ingredient in making Chips and how acceptable this is. The researchers want to give a new insight to the people that the notorious pest like Golden Kuhol could be mixed in making chips and become a delicious snack. In addition, the researchers also want to introduce a new method of managing these pests that the farmers will resort to and where they could generate extra income using their number one enemy in the farm fields. Golden Kuhol can be utilized in preparation of Chips from Golden Kuhol and it has a Selling price of 75 pesos. Based on the results of the nutrient and moisture analysis, it contains 12.36 crude protein g/100gram, 26.06 Total Fat g/100g, and 234.54 Calories from Fat Cal/100g. On the other hand, the chips from Golden Kuhol have a 2.24 g/100g moisture content. The developed Chips from Golden Kuhol were Highly Acceptable to the Home Economics Teachers, Food Industry, and Stakeholders in terms of appearance, aroma, Taste, Crispiness, and Packaging. The researchers concluded that utilizing Golden Kuhol for chip production could bring multiple benefits to agriculture, agritourism, and entrepreneurship. This innovative approach can be both environmentally sustainable and economically advantageous. This will offer a sustainable solution for controlling snail populations in agriculture, promoting ecological balance, and protecting crops. It will also boost agritourism by becoming a local delicacy with a unique flavor and nutritional value, attracting tourists and providing income opportunities for farmers and entrepreneurs. There is no significant difference between the assessment of the groups of respondents in terms of the appearance, taste, aroma, crispiness, and packaging on the level of acceptability of the developed Chips from Golden Kuhol.

Ramos Eulogio “Amang” Rodriguez Institute of Science and Technology, Manila DEVELOPMENT OF INDOOR AEROPONICS LETTUCE AND CHINESE CABBAGE GROWING STRUCTURES IN EARIST MANILA ABSTRACT A new method of conducting farming and gardening has now been introduced, Aeroponics. Using this method, plants grow three times faster than traditional farming. It also frees space to the ground by utilizing air space suspension for propagation. Having agriculture courses in the program, students taking up Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education may conduct their practical observations even with a limited space, which can be also passed on to their future students for it is mandatory in the basic education to have Agriculture Subjects in Urban Areas that have limited planting spaces. In the study conducted using Descriptive Research and utilizing Survey Instrument, the researchers used the concept of Aeroponics and transformed it to develop a device that is portable, movable, and frees up space that is very self-sustainable – as needed by the United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goals and utilizes stakeholders to determine its acceptability and introduce this device so that all stakeholders can develop and maintain their own not just in the schools but in the comfort of their own homes. Findings revealed that stakeholders find the prototype to be strongly acceptable and feasible based on the design of the indoor aeroponics system. It is recommended to investigate several nutrients that can be used in the system. Nowadays, soil-less farming is quickly evolving, so it is important to take advantage of the nutrition options that are available for plants to grow more quickly and produce greater quality products, and the enhancing of the appearance and timer sensor of the device. The researchers recommend, to automate the system#39;s watering, the researcher suggests using a timer. By automatically turning on Aeroponics pumps or lights, timers offer the advantage of saving you time and effort. The researchers recommend looking into several nutrients that can be used in the system. Nowadays, soilless farming is quickly evolving, so it is important to take benefit of the nutrition options that are available for plants to grow more quickly and produce greater quality products. For further development, the researchers recommend utilizing highly sensitive, specially built sensors for the best possible plant growth monitoring. More precise sensors can provide a more fruitful harvest in a certain way. It is recommended to the Department of Education that incorporating this research into EPP/TLE/HE aligns with the rising demand

34 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) for unique, environmentally, and sustainable indoor devices that can be used by students studying agriculture subjects in basic education. For the Department of Agriculture, the promotion of this device can be used in training indoor and distance education in Agrifishery subjects or courses. As a sustainable device, it can also be used to fulfill the United Nations sustainable development goals because the overall function of the device is selfsustainable. With this, the government can utilize it to teach the younger generation basic cultivation even in urban areas. The research findings should be taken as a reference for future related studies.

41 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) Priscilla Ramirez-Limin Philippine Women's University, Taft Avenue, Manila EFFECTS OF ENTREPRENEURSHIP COMPETENCY IN TECHNOLOGY AND LIVELIHOOD EDUCATION: AN INPUT TO A PROPOSED FACULTY ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM ABSTRACT Technology and Livelihood Education is a subject which helps the learners to develop their knowledge and technical skills, proper values and attitudes towards work that will prepare them in their future endeavors. This study utilized the descriptive method which is a systematic and scientific approach to research that involves collecting, observing and describing the behavior of a subject without changing the environment. Simple random sampling was utilized by the researcher because the population is small, homogeneous and readily available. The researcher had chosen thirty (30) Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) teachers as the respondents of the study. All respondents were teaching Grade 10 student S.Y. 2014- 2015. The findings showed that the majority of the respondents were female which belongs to the age range of 31-40 years old. Most of them were in the lowest rank position. On the other hand, most of the participants were well experienced in terms of teaching the subject matter. However, it is noticeable that most of the participants were specialized in cooking. Most of them attended seminars and training which tackled teaching strategies. In addition, a large number of the teachers attended the seminar once which means that they were not fully equipped with training and seminars in their field of specialization in TLE instruction. The profile of the respondents does not affect the entrepreneurship competencies in Technology and Livelihood Education except for the seminars and training undergone by the teachers. Since these seminars and training focused on the teaching strategies, they were not able to equip themselves with knowledge related to entrepreneurship and other fields of specialization in TLE instruction. The level of entrepreneurship competencies in teaching Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) obtained an overall mean of 4.04, interpreted as very good. It was found out that the rank has computed r (0.30) which is higher than the critical value of r at 0.05 level of significance. This means that there is a significant relationship between rank and level of competency in entrepreneurship. While other profiles of the respondents have computed r lower than the critical value of r, which implies that there

42 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) were no significant relationship between the age, gender, length of service, area of specialization, types of seminars attended, and number of times attended in seminars and level of competency in entrepreneurship. A proposed Faculty Enhancement Program was developed to help the teachers equip with enough knowledge, training and seminars that will improve entrepreneurship in Technology and Livelihood Education in four secondary schools at Tangue District, Division of Caloocan City. In view of this, the researcher recommends that school administrators should initiate in house seminars, workshops and training for the TLE teachers especially in the field of entrepreneurship to help them become competent in their chosen field. TLE teachers should strive for more meaningful seminars, training and workshops to improve their teaching ability and entrepreneurship competencies for more effective teaching. They should also include more challenging and interesting activities in their TLE and Entrepreneurship classes. Students should not only be open-minded to business but also get more involved in business to enhance their financial stability.

Data were collected by using survey questionnaires, which proved that the majority of the TLE teachers are educationally qualified and competent. The problems identified by teachers that they perceived as hindrances to the delivery of quality learning pertain to the tools, equipment, and facilities that are presently used. Based on the findings of the study, the different problems in teaching Edukasyong Pantahanan at Pangkabuhayan have been identified according to their degree of importance or level of priority. It can be observed that the teachers have different views on the relative impact of the problems, as to potential solution, it can be assumed that the differences on their assessment as to the degree of importance may be attributed to their different needs as teachers and also to the varying learning needs of their pupils notwithstanding the differences among their learning styles. To help the teachers get equipped with knowledge and skills, the developed training program offers different activities. The competencies included in the training program are dominantly skills-focused hence the teachers must engage in an experiential and contextualized process. The study revealed that all EPP teachers in the District are educationally qualified, have attended in-service trainings, and have all been rated with Very Satisfactory performance. It also confirmed that there is adequacy in equipment, utensils, and facilities in all learning areas of Home Economics, Industrial Arts, and Agricultural Arts. It pointed out however, that the most critical problem is that the existing number of tools is not enough for the class members, and that the least critical problem is the insufficiency of in-service trainings for EPP teachers. What stood out as the well-taken solution to some problems is the request for additional books and teaching materials.

48 74th National Conference and Training Philippine Home Economics Association (PHEA) MOODLE: DISTANCE LEARNING PLATFORM FOR OPEN HIGH SCHOOL PROGRAM TO IMPROVE STUDENTS’ PERFORMANCE AND PARTICIPATION IN NAIL CARE CLASS ABSTRACT T he main purpose of the study is to improve the students’ performance and participation in the Nail Care Class with the use of Modular Object-Oriented Dynamic Learning Environment (MOODLE) of San Joaquin-Kalawaan High School under the Open High School Program. The research was conducted with fifty (50) Grade Nine (9) students taking Nail Care as their field of specialization. The class was composed of twenty -five (25) males and twenty -five (25) females. The one group Paired t-test was employed as the statistical tool which is suitable to the single class as it is experimental, that is observed at two (2) points in a time. Test results yielded that there was a significant difference in the scores for pretest (M=16.49, SD=.435) and posttest (M= 28.14, SD= .589) conditions; t value of 0.01 is lesser that p-value of 0.05. As hypothesized, results showed that the performance of the students was significantly increased (α= 0.00), suggesting an improvement between the performances of the students on their pretest and posttest score after the intervention applied. This means that the use of MOODLE is an effective strategy to enhance the performance of the students in the Nail Care class. Nicolasa C. Enierga Rachel J. Flores Vernette R.
