ABSTRACT
This study investigated the school motivations and attitudes of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) students in Samar Island. Junior and Senior students participated in the study. Result of the analysis showed that students are highly motivated and had favorable attitude towards TLE. Majority had good to fair performance in TLE. No significant relationship was found between teachers’ profile and students’ motivation. Significant relationship however was found between teachers’ profile and students’ attitude towards TLE. Motivations and attitudes were significantly correlated. Sex, school and course preference had significant relationship with performance in TLE. However, age, family income, and type of high school graduated from had no significant relationship with performance. Moderation analysis showed that students who did not personally select their course had lower motivation compared to the other group of students. Only the motivation of students who did not personally select their course had significant relationship with their performance. On the other hand, choice of course did not moderate the relationship between attitude and TLE performance.
Keywords: moderation analysis, motivations, attitudes.
