Abstract:

The researchers used a descriptive-correlational type of research, having Seven (7) secondary schools in the Division of Negros Occidental offering special program in Science, Technology, and Engineering. The respondents consist of 48 teachers and 329 Science, Technology and Engineering (STE) students. It was found out that (1) The level awareness towards TEL tools of the teachers when grouped as a whole was “slightly aware”, (2) The level of perspective of students towards utilization of TEL tools when grouped as a whole was “Students find TEL to be useful often” and, (3) There is no significant relationship between the students’ perspective and teachers’ awareness towards TEL tools. As for recommendations, the researchers encourage more external support where finances for training/seminars/ workshops are concerned to alleviate the teachers’ low awareness level towards TEL. Capability building and other activities may also be integrated into the regular in-service training of the seven STE schools of the Division of Negros Occidental.
