This study aimed to refine instructional approaches that effectively prepare students for the demands of the modern workforce. It explored teaching methodologies relationship with student readiness and its effect on vocational learning in the contemporary era. It covered various instructional strategies and considers factors affecting student readiness and students vocational learning. The study also aimed to determine the status of teaching methodologies and student readiness and the level of students vocational learning. The significant relationship between the teaching methodologies and students readiness, as well as the significant effect between the status of teaching methodologies to students vocational learning on the current educational landscape were also identified. It employed a quantitative approach with correlation analysis to examine relationships between variables. The researcher designed a questionnaire and have it validated by three (3) experts in the field of Technology and Livelihood Education from the different schools in San Pedro, Laguna. This research involved one hundred twenty (120) Grade 10 students from Pacita Complex National High School in San Pedro City, Laguna. The study revealed that the status of teaching methodologies and student readiness in the current educational landscape seen as very high by the respondents. Despite challenges, efforts in faculty development, improving learning environments, and advancing research are promising. Moreover, the level of students vocational learning is also verbally interpreted as very high by the   respondents.   Mastering   skills   requires   ongoing   refinement, feedback integration, and effective application across diverse challenges. Furthermore, since no significant relationship between teaching methodologies and students readiness across various dimensions is found, this only explains that readiness levels are consistent across different teaching methods, highlighting the importance of holistic, student-centered approaches to education. Also, the research showed the absence of significant effect between teaching methodologies on the current educational landscape to students vocational learning. However, lecture-based learning seemed to have a positive relationship to hands-on demonstration which can help them integrate theories and concepts to actual practice. Collaborative learning and technology-enhanced teaching also greatly affect student outcomes when it comes to industry relevance. While teaching methodologies vary, they do not significantly relate students readiness and affect students vocational learning. Hence, all hypotheses were accepted. Educators may need to address social dynamics and accountability for a more effective vocational learning environments. It is recommended therefore to explore alternative teaching methods beyond those studied to match the level of students readiness and potentially achieve more significant results. Another way to do this is to augment quantitative data with qualitative research techniques like interviews or focus groups to gain deeper insights into students perceptions and experiences. Lastly, measurement tools for assessing vocational learning outcomes to detect meaningful changes in students skills and competencies must be enhanced. Implementing these suggestions can advance understanding of teaching methodologies relation on student readiness and effect to vocational learning, guiding educators in preparing students for successful careers.
