The Role of Teaching Methods in Facilitating Skills Diffusion in Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE): A Study among Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education Faculty

This research investigates how using different teaching methods assists in the diffusion of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) skills among Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education (BTLED) faculty members. Moreover, the study will indicate the frequency and effectiveness of different course methods toward ensuring that students acquire and apply TLE skills effectively. The study identifies the barriers to effectively acquiring skills, such as resource and financial constraints and students' self-efficacy. In an even more interesting revelation, the findings of this research will show a strong negative relationship between the age of educators and the use of teaching methods, indicating the necessity of continued professional development for them. The study found that successful TLE programs rely on multiple-pronged approaches such as project-based learning, partnering with industry, technology in TLE, finances, and ongoing professional development for instructors. If these suggestions are instituted, TLE programs could build a more effective and engaging environment for learners to prepare them to succeed in a technology-driven economic climate.
