CHAPTER 1
The Problem and Its Background
Introduction
Technical Skills are the source of learning of
the students which it can acquire through studying and
applying. It is also refer to talent and expertise
which the person possesses to perform a certain job or
skill. These skills can now be identified by the
teachers and students. Technical skills are also known
as hard skills or skills that are more on practice
rather than theory.
In our K to 12 Education Curriculum, those
technical skills are graded and can now be assessed by
the teachers. Our country now is undergoing this
curriculum which helps all the learners to acquire a
certain skill. Examples of those skills are more on
communication or language, sports, arts, music and
livelihood education. They are all under technical
skills but usually it focus on livelihood education.

How these technical skills affect the academic
performance of the students? There are other factors
which affect the academic grades of the students.
Parental involvement, principal leadership, socio-
economic status, school facilities, teachers
strategies and technical skills are the following that
affect the academic grade of the student.
Here the researchers will find out if the
technical skills have a relationship to the academic
performance of the students.

Definition of Terms
K 12 Program curriculum that implements an
education that starts from Kindergarten up to Grade
12.
Students Academic Performance - Academic
achievement or (academic) performance is the outcome
of education the extent to which a student, teacher
or institution has achieved their educational goals.
Technical skills - are those abilities acquired
through learning and practice. They are often job or
task specific; in other words, a particular skill set
or proficiency required to perform a specific job or
task.
Technology Education refers to the education
which deals on the improvement of technical skills.

CHAPTER 2
Review of Related Literature and Studies
Literature
Technical skills are known as a specific skill
which the person may possess through learning and
practice. You may acquire technical skills through
experience or pursuing it as specialization. But how
these skills affect the academic performance of the
student?
Academic performance serves as standard in order
to determine the result of student achievement. There
are some factors of which affect the student
performance. Mushtaq and Nawaz Khan (2012) mention
that there are factors affecting student achievement
like learning facilities, student test results,
communication proper guidance and family stress. But
there are some variables which affects the performance
of the students.
Technical skills can be acquired through
technology education. Camarao(1998) defined technology
education as those educational or learning activities

dealing with the development of technical skills,
knowledge and attitudes relative to production or
service occupations for effective citizenships, or
preparing people for employment in technical
occupations; or upgrading persons who are actually
employed or engaged in technical occupations.
It is supported with R.A. 7796- An Act creating
the Technical Education and Skills Development
Authority, Providing for it proves, structure and for
other purposes. The Act states its goals and
objectives that it strengthens technical skills, to
develop those skills and also the moral character,
work ethics and nationalism.
To develop more the academic achievement of the
students and to unleashed more the technical skills
that they possess. The DepEd Order No. 31 s. 2012 K to
12 curriculum has been implemented already for the
high school. The program aims to focus not only on the
academic field of the learners but also to the
technical and livelihood skills they have. That is why
modules for exploratory courses and specialization are

created to develop simultaneously the technical skills
and academic standard of the student.
However, technical skill is still important in
our education. Palipis (2007) stated in his book that
in 1987 Philippine Constitution under Article XIV Sec.
3 paragraph 5. That the State must provide adult
citizens, the disabled, the out-of-school youth with
training in civics, vocational efficiency and other
skills which means that our government also must
emphasize on both academic and technical skill of the
learners.
Studies
According to the study of Delos Santos (2010)
there are factors which affect the academic
performance of TLE students. Profile of the students,
in terms of age, gender, occupation of parents and
their educational attainment are variables that
contribute to the performance of the students. Other
variables are attitude of the students, parental
support to the students and their performance of
students in TLE.
However, Garduque (2012) in his study stated that
learning theories were not enough we need to have
skills to do things. Those skills are technical skills
and livelihood programs which may help the students
and graduates to become skilled workers of the future.
In the study of Kumazhege et. al. (2014) he
conclude that there are some factors which affect the
academic and technical skill of the learner according
to the perception of their technical teachers in
Adamawa state, Nigeria. They suggest that their
government must give their students adequate
facilities and laboratories and also develop the
teacher training programme of the technical teachers.
On the other hand, ACT (2009) conclude in their
study that strong academic achievement, technical
skill, certainty of occupational choice, college
readiness promote degree and job attainment in careers
of interest and job satisfaction helps high school
graduates to enter college. It means that academic and
technical skills are still essential.

Synthesis of Related Literature and Studies
The literature and studies supports this research
especially in technical skill and the academic
performance. Mushtaq and Nawaz Khan gave us the
factors that affect the academic performance of the
student, while Camarao introduced the technology
education and the technical skills and then supported
with the objectives of TESDA Act and K 12 Program.
Delos Santos, Garduque, Kumazhege and ACT also gave
information to our study.
