ABSTRACT

This study investigated the effects of Career-Focused Teaching (CFT) on students’ self-regulation and life science-technical-vocational integrated skills in Biology. It also aimed to find out whether self-regulation is a positive predictor of life science-technical-vocational-integrated skills. Two intact heterogenous classes from a public Senior High School were involved in the study. The classes were randomly assigned to either the conventional group (Science Conventional Teaching) or the xperimental group (Career-Focused Teaching). The revised Self-Regulation Questionnaire and the researcher-made Life Science-Technical-Vocational Integrated Skills Questionnaire were the instruments used in the study to measure students’ self-regulation and life science-technical-vocational integrated skills in Life Science, respectively. The results from statistical analysis revealed that CFT is effective in fostering students’ self-regulation and life science-technical-vocational integrated skills in Biology. The results also revealed that self-regulation is a significant predictor of life science-technical-vocational integrated skills.
