Abstract:

This study was conducted to determine the students’ choice of elective courses in TLE and their academic performance. The TLE Elective Course is a program in which Grade 9 students can enroll in their chosen elective courses, which are Bread and Pastry, Cookery, Mechanical Drafting, and Dressmaking. One class per elective course was chosen involving 76 Grade 9 students. The results reveal that Bread and Pastry as a TLE elective course has the highest number of enrolled students while Dressmaking has the lowest. Furthermore, students enrolled in the Bread and Pastry elective course garnered a very satisfactory academic rating during the First Grading, while students from the three elective courses received a satisfactory rating. However, in the Second Grading, students enrolled in Bread and Pastry, Cookery, and Dressmaking elective courses attained a very satisfactory rating, while students enrolled in Mechanical Drafting course had a satisfactory rating. With these results, there is an increase in the academic performance of students from First Grading to Second Grading in all TLE elective courses. Finally, the implementation of the Elective Program of the TLE Department is effective since students in all elective courses are performing well, as manifested in their academic performance.
