Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: : This descriptive tracer study determined the contributions of the Master of Arts in Teaching major in Technology and Home Economics (MAT-THE) program of Sorsogon State University to the professional and personal development of its graduates. Data were collected from the graduates’ self-assessment of the program’s effectiveness in terms of their expertise, skills, curriculum, and relevance. Results revealed remarkable ratings across domains, with exemplary ratings for professors’ expertise and personality development, and consistently high ratings for professional skills, curricular design, and relevance. However, lower scores were observed for facilities and ICT integration – an essential component for THE instruction. The study concludes that while the MAT-THE program excels in pedagogy and curricular design, continuous improvement in laboratories, facilities, digital integration, and global linkages is vital to sustain its contributions to professional growth and advance the Sustainable Development Goals.
