Study design: Observational Study
Abstract: Food Management is one of the solitary components of the Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education program and it is seen as a significant area in the lives of many students as it teaches them the desirable values, skills, and practical applications to real-life situations. This study explored the level of motivation and self-efficacy among the BTLEd students in Misamis Oriental and how it determines their food-management skills. The framework of the study is anchored on Ryan and Deci’s (2000) Theory of Motivation and Albert Bandura’s (1999) Theory of Self-Efficacy. The study assumes that food management skills may be acquired by students with a high sense of motivation and self-efficacy. A descriptive-correlational design was used to facilitate the collection and organization of the data. The study revealed that the students’ intrinsic motivation is weakly correlated to their sense of self-efficacy while their extrinsic motivation is highly correlated with self-efficacy. Furthermore, their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, are significantly correlated with their food management skills. However, their self-efficacy is not significantly related to all food management skills components. Thus, the findings of this study point to the need to enhance food-management skills to the desired standard balance with motivation and self-efficacy.
