- Among the major areas in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) in ahigher educational institution in CALABARZON area, Technology and LivelihoodEducation (TLE) ranks the lowest. This qualitative study explored reasons of TLEgraduates’ low performance. Using phenomenological design, four participantswere purposively sampled and interviewed one-on-one. Interview data weretranscribed and analyzed using Colaizzi’s method. Findings show that the reasonsleading to the participants’ low LET performance were: curriculum misalignment,inadequate facilities, unavailability of well-maintained laboratory tools,demotivation to study, lack of TLE faculty, long process for laboratory budget andrequisition, and misaligned faculty specialization. Participants gave suggestions onhow TEIs can adequately prepare TLE graduates for LET: aligning curriculumwith national standards, hiring of additional expert faculty, adequate provision offacilities, and further support for LET preparation. It can be concluded that lowLET performance is influenced by TEI curriculum and instruction. Mixed methodstudies may be conducted using these findings to investigate graduates’ TLEperformance nationwide.
