 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

Tailoring is the art of designing, fitting, fabricating, and finishing garments. The
word “tailor”, which first appears in the Oxford Dictionary in 1297, comes from a French
word-tailler-meaning” to cut”. The Latin word for tailor was sartor, meaning someone
who patches or mends garments; the English word “sartorial”, for something related to
tailored garments, is derived from this word.
During the middle Ages some of the earliest tailor where linen armorers by trade,
meaning they created customs, padded linen garments that were worn under chain mail
to protect the wearer from the chafing associated with heavy armor. From this
occupation, the earliest tailor guilds were born in Europe. Tailoring began to diversify in
Western Europe, between the 12th and 14th centuries. Before this time, garments were
generally made from a single piece of cloth and were created for the sole purpose of
covering or concealing the body; individual style was of no particular interest to a
garment’s maker or weaver.
During the Renaissance, the traditional loose robes worn by both sexes began to
be shortened, gathered, tightened, and sewn together in shapes that somewhat
resembled the actual human frame. Prior to this, clothing was not purchased; everything
was made in the home, which means that who had more skill with needle and thread
were well ahead of the game by the time that personal style began to emerge. Once
people began to desire clothing in certain styles, for different body types, or in unique
patterns, the demand for skilled tailors developed. The mere fact that tailors existed at all
reveals that attitudes about clothing were changing.
Clothes were now more than necessities; they were a way for people to express
themselves, project their status, and show off what they considered to be their best
features. In other words, the emergence of tailor is proof that fashion was developing as
a concept.
By the 1100s, a tailor was considered a legitimate occupation. King Henry gave
royal privileges to Taylors of Oxford in 1100. The London Guilds of Taylors and Linen
Armorers were granted royal arms in 1299. In France, the Tailleurs de Robes received a
royal charter in 1293 and in 1588 all French tailors (from linen aemorers, to robe makers,
to hose makers) were united under the single banner of Maitress Tailleurs d’ Habits.
From its earliest days, the trade of tailoring was taught by apprenticeship, where
a master tailor instructed an aspiring tailor via practical experiences.
Apprentices were trained in molding woolen cloth to the shape of an individual’s body.
Once this process was mastered, the apprentice tailor could show their style and skill by
adding aesthetic elements-creating styles and silhouettes that emphasized the wearer’s
best qualities.
Most shops were owned and run by a master tailor, who was the face of the
business and who cut out most garments. The way each master tailor cut out those
garments created his signature style. As tailor shop grew, more fabric cutters hired and
trained in the style of the master tailor; these cutters fells below the master tailor in the
staffing hierarchy. Beneath the cutters were responsible for some of the less exacting
part of garments making- like adding padding, sewing lining, and pockets and
(eventually, after a bit of training) adding sleeves and collars to garments. At the bottom
of the hierarchy were the apprentices, who were responsible for keeping the shop clean
and running errands; once those task were complete, they could take time from their day
to learn the basic of sewing. Before the adoption of the sewing machine in tailor shops,
some garments might require more than one tailor to a garment, at the same time. Many
would sit side-by-side or facing one another with legs crossed. In French, the cross-
legged way of sitting is still called “assis en talleur”, or “sitting in tailor’s pose”
Because of this apprentice-style of teaching, no written manuals for tailoring
existed for hundreds of years after the occupation appeared. The first English –language
manual is The Tailor’s Complete Guide, which was published in 1796. After that, several
influential guidebooks followed and Devere’s talor’s Guide in 1855 and E.B. Gile’s
influential History of the Art of Cutting in 1889. This manual was reprinted for decades
and is a kind of time capsule into the evolution of 19th century techniques.
 STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM AND
THE HYPOTHESES

This study aimed to determine the level of interest in enrolling in

dressmaking/tailoring NCll among junior students in TNHS.

Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the level of interest of junior students in enrolling in

Dressmaking/Tailoring NCll when taken as an entire group and when
categorized according to year level?

2. Is there a significance difference in the level of interest of junior students in

enrolling in Dressmaking/Tailoring NCll when taken as an entire group and
when categorized according to year level?

In the view of preceding problems, the following hypotheses were advanced:

1. There is no significant difference in the level of interest of the junior high

students in enrolling in Dressmaking/Tailoring NCll when categorized as an
entire group and when classified according to year level?
 SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

The result of this study may hopefully benefit the following persons:

To the researchers where will answered their question in what factors really affect
the students in enrolling Dressmaking/Tailoring NCll.

To the respondents/student this study may help them to know what they really
want to be after graduating in junior high.

Lastly, to the future researchers, the results of this study may serve as a
reference for the future.
 Definition of Terms

For the purposes of clarity and the understanding the following terms were
specified their conceptual and operational definitions:

Interest-a quality that attracts your attention and makes you want learn more
about something or to be involved in something.(Merriam Webster)

In this study, interest refers to the things which you love to do.

Tailoring-the business are occupation of a tailor. (Merriam Webster)

In this study, it refers to the subject which students or tailors make clothes for
men only.

Dressmaking-a person who makes dresses and other clothes as a job.(Merriam

Webster)

In this study, dressmaking refers to the subject which students or tailors makes
clothes for women only.
 Delimitation of the Study

This research focus only on finding the Level of Interest in Enrolling in

Dressmaking/Tailoring NCll. The subject of the study is the Grade 9 and 10 student of
Tina National High School.

The study was conducted last October 10 2018 that answered the questionnaire
provided by the researchers.
 CHAPTER TWO

Review of Related Literature

According to Krapp (2000), interests are characterized by feeling and value related
aspects, meaning that interest related actions and content have a subjective significance
for the person and that the person likes to encounter them. Due to the positive feelings
and significant personal value connected to these object or content, interested persons
also generally have a tendency to enlarge their knowledge about the topic of interest and
thus improved their corresponding competencies.

According to Krapp(2002), points to three general structural components that’s

describe a particular interest first the concrete topic of interest, which represents a
certain domain of knowledge; second, specific activities that are connected to the object
of interest and in which individuals are engaged; finally, real objects toward which the
specific interest is directed.

According to Krapp (2002), It is also a relational concept between individual and

aspect of the environment providing object of interest. Interest represents these
interruptions between a person and object.

According to Salili & Lai (2003), students were consistently found to have
performance goals a pattern linked to their Asian sociocultural values and learning
context.

According Bandura, Barbaranelli, Caprana and Pastorelli (2001) an individual’s

environment, talents skills and academic achievement exert as influence on career
choice.

According to Ferry (2006) other factors such as aptitude, life, circumstances, and
academic achievement have also been proven as determinants of career choice.

According to Elliot (2005) noted that personal interest is seen as a relatively

stable and enduring characteristic of an individual. Situational interest is more transitory
and is elicited by condition in the environment that focuses attention and generated act.

According to Hardre Reeve (2003), School students perception of their

classroom environment strongly predict self-determined motivation and competence
perceptions, and these in turn predict school performance and intentions to persist in
education.
 Methodology

Research Purpose

This study aimed to determine the Level of interest in Enrolling on

Dressmaking/Tailoring NCll among Junior Student in TNHS.

Method

The data where gathered with the use of the survey questionnaire among the grade
9 and grade 10 students of TNHS.

Sources of Information

The researcher gathered information from primary sources which were obtained
from the internet. The researcher derived information from previous studies of others.
 Methods
Quantitative research-is a structured way of collecting and analyzing data obtained
from different sources.Quantitative research involves this use of computational,
statistical and mathematical tools to derived results.It is conclusive in its purpose as it
tries to quantify the problem and understand how prevalent it is by looking for projectable
results to a larger population.
Quota sampling method- is a non probability sampling and it can be defined as a
sampling method of gathering representative data from a group. Application of quota
sampling ensures that sample group represents certain characteristics of the population
chosen by the researcher.Quota sampling can be divided into two groups.Controlled and
uncontrolled.
Controlled quota sampling-Involves introduction of certain restrictions in order to limit
researcher choices of samples.
Uncontrolled quota sampling-Resemble convenience sampling method in a way that
the researcher is free to choose sample group members according to his/her will.
Descriptive (defined by dictionary)-Having the quality of describing characterized by
description.
Descriptive (defined by Merriam Webster)-Prensenting observation about the
characteristics of someone or something serving to describe.
A.Refering to, constituting, or grounded in matters of observation or experience.
B.Factually grounded or informative rather than normative, prescriptive or emotive.
Methods (defined by Merriam Webster)-A procedure or process for attaining an
object.

The participants of the study were the grade 9 and grade 10 of Tina National High
School. Were classified according to year level and section.
