Abstract:

This study dealt on the Third Industrial Revolution Practices among School Heads in the province of Nueva Ecija. Considering the nature of the problem, the descriptive-quantitative methodology and the descriptive correlational design. were used to investigate with the primary purpose of establishing conditions which are common among the population of the study. The researcher made use of the questionnaire-checklist as the instrument in gathering the data needed for the study. This is the most appropriate method to use to determine the current level of TIRE practices of the school head.On the profile of the respondents, in terms of age, most principals entering the position were 40 years old. Female administrators appear to be more superior in number than the male principals in leadership adaptability . In terms of civil status, majority of the respondents were married, with the position of Principal IV which ranked the highest position. On Years of Experience as School Head , almost half of the respondents were in the range of 6-10 years as a school head . In terms of leadership styles, younger principals tend to show qualities that focus more on relationship building because it is their way of establishing rapport and gaining trust and respect from subordinates while the older ones give more emphasis on tasks to be accomplished for the notion that they may want work to be done first before doing other things. In terms of trainings, Most of the respondents acquired the necessary trainings needed in their job as they perform the tasks and responsibilities of a school head. On type of school majority of the respondents were on the barangay. On classification , majority of the respondents belong to big school.The result of TIRE practices of the school heads under technology utilization,learning approaches and skills development had gathered a descripted equivalent of often and has a transmuted rating of highly extensive. On the significant difference between the extent of TIRE practices by the secondary school head and the profile variables, there is a significant difference between rank and the technology utilization practices of school heads. In addition, national level variable significantly differed in terms of technology utilization practices. Type of school has significant difference with TIRE practices of school heads in terms of technology utilization and skills development . Likewise, classification and TIRE practices had significantly differed in terms of learning modalities. Thus, for these variables and TIRE practices, the hypothesis of no significant difference is rejected. Meantime, age, sex , civil status and highest educational attainment do not have significant difference with TIRE practices of school heads in terms of technology utilization , learning modalities and skills development.The hypothesis of no significant difference is accepted. Thus, for these variables, the hypothesis of no significant difference is accepted.On the significant relationship of the extent of TIRE practices by the secondary school heads across their profile variables, Age has a significant relationship in terms of TIRE practices under learning approaches . National level variable has significant relationship in terms of technology utilization and learning approaches. Likewise, international level significantly correlates under technology utilization . Moreover, type of school variable is significantly correlated in terms of technology utilization and learning approaches . Other variables such as sex, civil status, highest educational attainment, rank, length of service, school level training, division level and classification has no significant relationship under technology utilization, learning approaches and skills development since their computed r is above the level of significance at 0.05. Thus, for these variables, the hypothesis of no significant difference is accepted.
