Abstract

The study developed and evaluated the Task-Based Analytic Rubrics in Computer System Servicing (TBARCSS) for Grade 10 learners. It aimed to assess and improve the performance of Grade 10 learners in TLE Computer System Servicing. The study was conducted at BarasPinugay Integrated High School during the second quarter of the school year 2023–2024. The study employed a developmental and quasi-experimental research method to determine the level of performance of the students in the pretest and posttest results and the difference between the pretest and post-test before and after the utilization of the TBARCSS. Fifty Grade 10 low-performing or at-risk students were purposively selected as respondents of the study. The Task-based Analytic Rubrics in Computer System Servicing was developed based on identified least learned competencies in TLE 10. The experts evaluated the developed Taskbased Analytic Rubrics in Computer System Servicing as “Very Much Acceptable” with respect to performance criteria, rating scale, performance level delivery, description of standard and task, and usefulness. The level of performance of the learners before and after exposure to the developed task-based analytic rubrics was “Excellent” and concluded that Grade 10 learners improved their performance after exposure to the developed material. The result of t-test revealed that there is a significant difference between the performance of the learners before and after the exposure to the developed Task-based Analytic Rubrics in Computer System Servicing 10. It was concluded that the utilization of the TBARCSS was effective in increasing the level of performance of the grade10 students. The study recommended that the developed TBARCSS may be used by the TLE Computer System Servicing 10 teachers in teaching and assessing the competency on configuring computer system and network to improve learners’ performance; that the output can be modified and improved by the teachers and professionals in terms of performance tasks, criteria, and performance descriptors depending upon the needs and abilities of the learners; that TLE teachers are encouraged to develop Task-Based Analytic Rubrics in other specialization courses in TLE to improve the performance of the learners; that the results of the study may be integrated on school-based and department LAC session; that parallel studies may be conducted utilizing the Task-Based Analytic Rubrics in other subject areas; and experimental research may be conducted utilizing controlled and experimental group, other variables, and wider scope to test the effectiveness of the Task-Based Analytic Rubrics in Computer System Servicing 10 in improving the performance of the learners.
