ABSTRACT
The COVID-19 pandemic has been a global serious issue that has adversely
impacted humans' lives. This study aimed to investigate the Improving Student
Table Strategy in Don Manuel A. Javellana Memorial Memorial National High School. An
action research method design was employed in conducting the study. The action
research data was gathered using a face-to-face survey questionnaire from 14 randomly
selected students.
The results of the action research revealed that the students’ Cookery class did not
involve active learning or participation from them. Additionally, it was discovered that the
because of their inability to easily purchase supplies for the cooking laboratory due to a
In addition, the action research findings revealed that the students had problems
with a lack of resources and facilities in their learning, especially in providing ingredients
during their cookery class, and we suggested that we must find ways to provide for the
needs of the learners by engaging them in "Gulayan sa Paaralan" to maintain the high
quality of education. The study's findings will assist TVL students and TVL teachers
to adopt active participation and implement policies for teaching and learning in
emergency situations. It will also help TVL teachers to design a proper plan and improve
their instruction.

Through the results and discussion, the researchers have concluded that there are
certain factors affecting the active participation of TVL students. If face-to-face classes are
implemented, the majority of them will be adaptable to change.
This research highlights the importance of learning cooking skills at an early age
for skill retention, confidence, cooking practices, cooking attitude, and diet quality,
specifically for senior high school students taking home economics under the technical,
vocational, and livelihood track. A focus on alternative sources, including practical
cooking skills education, starting at an early age is required. This study also highlights
the need for further longitudinal research on the impact of age and source of learning on
cooking skills midst global pandemic.
Senior year is typically the high point of a student’s high school career. Seniors this
year are worried about being able to graduate. They’re worried about being able to qualify
and be fully prepared for college admission. They’re aware that many colleges and
universities have shut down and wonder how this will affect their own future plans.
One the most stressful aspects of the current situation is not knowing. We don’t
know who has been or will be infected by the virus. We don’t know who might be a carrier,
spreading the virus to others without even knowing it. We don’t know when schools and
businesses will re-open. We don’t know what the long-term effects of this pandemic will
be.
Facing so many unknowns heightens anxiety. Some amount of fear and worry is a
normal reaction to this abnormal situation. If a person’s anxiety is so intense that it is
disrupting the person’s ability to concentrate on other things, interferes with the person’s
ability to sleep at night or causes the person to avoid engaging in the things that he or she
needs to do, it may be necessary to seek help

ACTION PLAN/ ADVOCACY PLAN
The research aims to explore the improving student performance on cooking and
food preparation of cookery subject through garden to table strategy. It is argued in this
research that most students experienced difficulty studying during the pandemic.
However, they find solutions to each problem they encounter. Therefore, students are
resourceful, innovative, creative, self-disciplined, especially on balance, and manage their
time well.
This part of the research draws on the findings from the structured interviews
conducted during the focus group interviews, which were conducted with eight students
who were purposely selected from the grade 12 sections Laurel and Technical Vocational
Track (Home Economics Strand). The following criteria were used to select the students
for the structured interviews:
On the basis of the results gathered, it was found that the active participation and
performance of the students have advantages and disadvantages. Somehow, they took
positively all the negative experiences in studying cookery lessons during the pandemic .
Nonetheless, at the end of the interview, the informants felt relieved knowing that their
experiences about studying during a pandemic were used by the teacher and
acknowledged through this research. On the first question about the level of participation
in TVL Cookery Class before the Garden to Table strategy was implemented, informants
answered the following:
“Seldom, it is hard to start a cooking especially when you don’t have materials in
making a dishes.”
While studying for a cookery lesson, students are tasked with planting vegetables
in the Gulayan sa Paaralan. Before the Garden to Table strategy was implemented,
students had difficulty participating in the class because of a lack of resources that
tended to be used as their ingredients in the cooking laboratory. On the second question
13
of your level of participation after the implementation of the Garden to Table strategy, key
informants answered the following:
“Frequently, because you have enough ingredients and supply to continue the
cooking.”
The second issue is that studying during a pandemic as a TVL student is difficult
because they must overcome the crisis of a shortage of ingredients . They also experienced
active participation in the cookery class. They use the materials as their ingredients and
sell their output after it has been rated by the teacher. This strategy tends to develop their
entrepreneurial skills. Students this time are aware of public speaking and know how to
communicate with customers and are resourceful.
The above declaration obviously demonstrates that, despite the pandemic, the
students are grateful for the opportunity to take a cooking lesson. They learnt a lot in
order to increase their knowledge and skills in the preparation of various foods. They
learned how to sell their output or products using their entrepreneurial talents. Most
students also learn how to build independent learning so that they can establish and
create their own learning recipes.
Overall, this epidemic has an impact on students. Learning is tricky for them in
this new normal condition. They prefer face-to-face since they find it difficult to absorb
and cope with the teacher's teaching. To learn and understand the subject of cooking,
they must adjust and optimize their patience.
