Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

Dressmaking entices learners to think outside the box by showcasing creative skills in the clothing industry. This study assessed the attitude and competencies of Grades 9 and 10 students in the identified school during the school year 2023-2024 as a basis for crafting an entrepreneurial plan. This study determined the respondents' demographic profile, interest in sewing, and competency level in dressmaking. The significant relationships among the demographic profile of the student’s attitude, with a p-value of 0.00, dressmaking competencies with a p-value of 0.00, and learning resources adequacy and functionality are also determined in this study. This study utilized a descriptive-correlational research design that captured a clear understanding that the competencies, the attitude of the students, with a p-value of 0.00, and the adequacy and functionality of the learning materials, with a p-value of 0.00, are related and can affect each other, which aligns with the theory used in this study. The result recommends a thorough orientation regarding the basic competencies in dressmaking as a means for making an entrepreneurial plan.
