ABSTRACT

The study examined the effects of task-based learning (TBL) on students’ engagement and skills in teaching Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) in a public secondary school in the Division of Dasmariñas, Cavite during the school year 2025–2026. The investigation employed a descriptive-correlational research design to determine how task-based learning relates to and influences students’ engagement and skill development in TLE instruction. A total of 120 students served as respondents and were selected using the total enumeration technique. Data were gathered through a researcher-made questionnaire designed to measure the level of task-based learning effects on students’ engagement and skills. Engagement was examined in terms of student participation, motivation and interest, collaboration and interaction, and teachers’ perception of student engagement, while skills were measured through technical skill mastery, problem-solving abilities, soft skills development, and the application and transferability of skills. The collected data were analyzed using weighted mean, Pearson’s r correlation, and regression analysis. Findings revealed that task-based learning was highly evident in enhancing students’ engagement, particularly in increasing participation, motivation, collaboration, and perceived engagement in classroom activities. The results also indicated that task-based learning was highly effective in improving students’ teaching-related skills in TLE, including technical skill mastery, problem-solving ability, soft skills development, and the application of competencies in practical contexts. Statistical results further showed a significant relationship between task-based learning and students’ engagement and skills. The findings demonstrate that task-based learning contributes substantially to strengthening both engagement and competency development in Technology and Livelihood Education.

Keywords: task-based learning, student engagement, technical skill mastery, problem-solving abilities, Technology and Livelihood Education
