Description of Framework

Technology and Livelihood Education encompasses the field of Home Economics (H.E.); Industrial Arts (IA);
Agri-Fishery Arts (AFA); and Information, Communication. and Technology (ICT). The 24 TLE courses can be
categorized under any of these fields.

TLE as a course has two streams—the TR-based TLE and the Entrepreneur-based TLE—and every school has
a choice as to which stream to offer, with consideration forfaculty, facilities, and resources. Both streams are
based on the Training Regulations, but the Entrepreneur-based TLE embeds entrepreneurship concepts in
the teaching of the various subjects in HE , IA, AFA, and ICT.

TLE is geared toward the development of technological proficiency and is anchored on knowledge and
information, entrepreneurial concepts, process and delivery, work values, and lifeskills. This means that the
TLE that works is one which is built on adequate mastery of knowledge and information, skills and processes,
and the acquisition of right work values and life skills. The TLE that is functional is one whichequips students
with skills for lifelong learning. TLE that is concerned only with mere definition of terms is meaningless and
shallow. TLE that is focused on mastery of skills and processes without right work values is anemic and
dangerous. An effective TLE is one that is founded on the cognitive, behavioral, or psychomotor and affective
dimensions of human development. Therefore teaching TLE means teaching facts, concepts, skills, and values
in their entirety.

The diagram likewise shows that entrepreneurial concepts also form part of the foundation of quality TLE. It is
expected that TLE students, after using the Learning Modules on Entrepreneurship-based TLE, imbibe the
entrepreneurial spirit and consequently set up their own businesses in the areas of Agri-Fishery Arts, Industrial
Arts, Home Economics, and Information and Communication Technology.

TLE by its nature is dominantly a skill subject; hence the teacher must engage students in an experiential,
contextualized, and authentic teaching-learning process. It is a subject in whichstudentslearn best by doing. It
is integrative in approach. For instance, it integrates entrepreneurship with all the areas of TLE. It integrates
concepts, skills, and values.
