Abstract:
This research evaluates the translation skills of fourth-year Filipino major students in secondary education, focusing
on higher education research questionnaires. Employing descriptive methods and random sampling, a validated
questionnaire sourced from published research was used for assessment. Statistical tools such as correlation analysis,
paired sample t-test, and frequency calculations were employed for data analysis. Findings indicate that respondents
excel in literal translation methods, with mean scores of 36.3. Other methods such as Faithful, Lexical, and Adaptation
follow closely with a mean of 22, while Word-to-Word and free translation methods score lower. The study
recommends enhancing lexical translation skills by creating instructional materials with appropriate synonyms. These
findings underscore the need for pedagogical improvements in translation training. Specifically, Tagoloan Community
College and the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) should provide extensive training to enhance students'
proficiency in various translation techniques across multiple contexts.
