Abstract/Summary

This study is descriptive-developmental in nature and focused on developing occupational training modules for individuals with mild mental retardation (IMMR). It specifically sought to answer these questions: 1) What are the perceptions of the parents, SPED teachers, and managers regarding the job skills needed by the IMR along the following dimensions a) job-related personal and social skills b) vocational and occupational skills c) employment-related academic skills 2) What occupational training modules may be developed for the IMMR, considering such dimensions as job-related personal and social skills, vocational and occupational skills, and employment-related academic skills? This study utilized a researcher-designed questionnaire which provided data on the perceptions of the respondents on the job skills needed by IMMR along the dimensions of job-related personal and social skills, vocational and occupational skills, and employment-related academic skills. The identified perceptions of the respondents were made the basis of what occupational training modules had to be prepared in order that the important employment skills, as perceived by the respondents, would be developed among IMMR. vi A total of 61 respondents were involved in this study: four managers, 24 special education teachers, and 33 parents of IMMR who were enrolled in selected schools from the schools divisions of the cities of Manila, Las Pinas, and Mandaluyong. Among the many skills that the respondents perceived to be important that tackle good grooming, reporting for work on time, getting along with others, expressing feelings and needs, using appropriate survival skills, following orders/requests, utilizing resources wisely, finding directions, and writing reports were developed into lessons. In all eleven lessons were written in three separate modules. Based on the results of the study, it was concluded that parents, special education teachers, and managers of IMMR recognize that these individuals need to be helped in developing certain identified job skills and that training modules would facilitate the development of such skills.
