Teaching Strategies and Functional Skills of Learners with Special Educational Needs

This study investigated the influence of teaching strategies in developing the functional skills of Learners with Special Educational Needs in the Division of Toledo City during the school year 2018 2019 as a basis for the intervention plan. It utilized the descriptive statistics to appropriately present, describe, analyze and infer the responses of the respondent groups through survey questionnaires. Fortunately, the researcher was able to get the total population of the group respondents. There were 43 subjects and 13 respondents. Data on the profile of the subjects and respondents were considered. The distribution of the learners as to identify the functional skills and strategies employed by the teachers in teaching functional skills to Learners with Special Educational Needs were the main concern of this study. Based on the findings, it is concluded that there is a need for an intervention plan so the needs of the Learners with Special educational Needs will be addressed. Though teachers already employed various teaching strategies and interventions to stimulate the development of the learners' critical and analytical thinking and independent learning, but still there is a room for employing new strategies and interventions to enrich the classroom instructions as the teachers observed some difficulties on their learning process. The world is changing and advancing day by day, so teachers need to be technology savvies as well, in order to meet new global emerging demands. Dr. Richie L.
