Abstract
Using descriptive research design, this study aimed to evaluate the experiences of Vocational Technological Education (VTE) teachers regarding the adequacy of the tools and equipment they are utilizing in their respective institutions in the areas of Information and Communications Technology (with specialization in computer hardware servicing and technical drafting), Home Economics (with specialization in cookery and dressmaking) and Industrial Arts (with specialization in electrical installation and maintenance and consumer electronics servicing). It also investigated the areas of concern that teachers have encountered as VTE teachers and their proposed measures to meet them. The study found out that adequacy of tools and equipment in teaching VTE in the Department of Education was observed in computer hardware servicing and cookery while inadequacy of materials in technical drafting, dressmaking, electrical installation and maintenance and consumer electronics was noticed. Challenges encountered by VTE teachers on facing the restructured curriculum deals on lack of project materials and completion requirements for students and insufficiency of reading materials and substandard laboratory shop facilities. The recommendations offered by the respondents to meet the challenges include: resourcefulness and creativeness on the part of the teachers in devising instructional materials and textbooks; updating of equipment and tools and strict monitoring and maintaining of facilities to be done by school officials; and additional hands-on training and relevant assessments for teachers and students spearheaded by the supervisor of VTE
