LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT NEEDS ASSESSMENT PLAN

I. Background and Rationale:

The Department of Education is mandated to protect and promote the rights of all citizens to quality education
at all levels, and shall take appropriate steps to make such education accessible to all as stipulated in Article 14,
Section 1 of the Philippines Constitution. This is part of DepEd mission in response to its commitment of providing
quality, equitable, culture- based and complete basic education.
No learner left behind even the Learners with Special Educational Needs (LSENs) or disabilities. This is the
guiding principle of Inclusive Education to recognize and value diversity of learners and to recognize and respect
learners’ rights to relevant and responsive to their contexts.
In the Schools Division of Bulacan, there are 1, 508 pupils in elementary and 168 students in secondary schools
with special educational needs based on the records of its planning unit. Currently, there are only 26 recognized
SPED centers in elementary and 4 secondary schools. Another problem is the insufficient number of SPET items
and most of the teachers of these schools are untrained to handle these types of learners.
This Learning and Development Plan is grounded in this premise.

II. LDNA Objective/s

1. To determine the competencies needed by the teachers in handling the leaners with special educational needs in
terms of:
I.1 by exceptionality
I.2 teaching approaches
I.3 assessment of learning

III. Target Start and End of LDNA September 2019 to March 2020

VII. Implementation Details

1
The use of sampling methods depends on the objective of the LDNA. In most cases, LDNA should cover all of the targeted learners, i.e.., all employees in an office must
have their individual needs assessed through the Development Planning Stage of the RPMS. If this is not available or outdated, and data on competency development
needs of a large number of employees is required for planning purposes, sampling may be used. However, during L&D designing, when specific target learners have been
identified, needs have to be validated and this process will cover all target learners.
2
To get representative sample of less than a hundred target population, rule of thumb is to get 30 samples. For population size of above 100, apply Slovin’s Basic Formula
to get sample size: n=N/(1+Ne2). Where, n=sample size; N=total population, e=margin of error. Recommended margin of error is .05 to .02 for a confidence level of 95% -
98%. Source: NEAP
