Abstract

The research was entitled ?Teaching Strategies to the Technical Skills in online Distance Learning?. This study aimed to determine the effects of online teaching strategies in the acquisition of technical skills of grade 7 learners in Caritas Don Bosco School (CDBS). Specifically, it sought answers to the following questions; 1. What is the profile of the respondents as to; age and gender. 2. What is the level of teaching strategies in terms of; adaptive teaching, computational thinking, learning by doing, visualization and analogies. 3. What is the level of technical skills among grade 7 learners with regards to; calculation, critical thinking, performance of practical tasks and spatial visualization. 4. Do the teaching strategies have significant difference according to their gender? 5. Do the technical skills have significant difference according to their gender? 6. Is there a significant relationship between the teaching strategies and the technical skills of grade 7 learners in CDBS? The study adopted the quantitative descriptive research design and made use of survey questionnaire. A total on one hundred and twenty-four (124) learners of Caritas Don Bosco School for the school year 2021-2022 were used as respondents and selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected and analyzed through Mean, Median, Standard Deviation and Pearson r correlation tools. Findings revealed that, adaptive teaching strategy has strongly correlated among all the technical skills and interpreted as significant. The answers demonstrated that adaptive teaching, computational thinking, learning by doing, visualization, and analogies play a part in the learners' acquisition of technical skills in online distance learning. As a result, it is clear that learners gained the fundamental abilities. The null hypothesis that there is no significant difference between gender of the respondents and the teaching strategies was rejected. However, the null hypothesis stating that is no significant difference between gender of the respondents and the technical skills in online distance learning was accepted. The result shows that there is a significant relationship between the teaching strategies and the acquisition of technical skills in online distance learning among grade 7 learners in CDBS. It is recommended that learners should use their preferred learning styles in the execution of practical activities. Encourage them to devote more time to practicing practical skills. Technical faculty members who teach technical subjects are advised to continue to apply adaptive teaching strategies in the coming school years and to improve afterwards. Teachers are advised to evaluate, create and deliver differentiated solutions to meet the requirements of the students. And lastly, give reference to school principal and officials to demand that technical faculty members engage students in more laboratory and hands-on activities. Simultaneously, consider feasible teaching strategies to apply when the pandemic is over and the shift to traditional face-to-face classrooms occurs.
