Abstract:
This study aimed to develop an Integrated Lecture–Hands-On Guidebook in Electronics for Grade 7 Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) under Industrial Arts, designed for blended learning environments. The guidebook was aligned with the Department of Education’s Learning Resources Management and Development System (LRMDS) to address the need for structured instructional materials suitable for both face-to-face and online modalities. A quantitative descriptive–developmental research design was employed, involving 57 respondents: 40 Grade 7 students for baseline skills assessment, 5 electronics experts for guidebook validation, and 12 TLE teachers to evaluate its level of acceptability using adapted and validated survey instruments. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics, specifically the weighted mean and standard deviation. Results revealed that students demonstrated consistently low competence across learning modalities, with mean scores of 2.04 (SD = 0.30) in physical settings, 2.04 (SD = 0.33) in online settings, and 2.07 (SD = 0.28) in blended settings. These findings indicate a gap between theoretical knowledge and the application of practical skills. The developed guidebook obtained passing ratings from expert validators, with high scores in content quality (Total = 39) and instructional quality (Total = 39.8), both interpreted as Very Satisfactory. Furthermore, teachers evaluated the material as highly acceptable, with an overall mean of 4.92 (SD = 0.10) for content quality and 4.92 (SD = 0.08) for instructional quality. The study concludes that the integrated lecture–hands-on guidebook is a valid, acceptable, and effective instructional resource that can enhance students’ electronics skills in blended learning environments.

Keywords: Blended Learning, Electronics, Industrial Arts, Integrated Lecture-Hands-On-Guidebook.
