Likewise, queries about the extent of appropriateness of work immersion and extent of availability of instructional materials of the strand offered were also developed. All these questions served as exploratory variables for the study. Apparently, the researcher used total population sampling. The respondents included seventy-six (76) TVL teacher-trainers from the twenty-four (24) identified public secondary schools in the three cities of 2nd congressional district of Negros Oriental namely Dumaguete, Tanjay and Bais.
