The Filipino Family, Desirable Filipino Values, Responsible Parenthood, Your Roles as a
Responsible Member of the Family, Promoting a Wholesome and Satisfying Family
Relationships, Worthwhile Recreational Activities and Coping with the Unexpected. This study
made use of the factorial posttest only control group design with random assignment of variables

r =.88 interpreted as highly reliable. The major findings of the study was that teaching the ten
topics in home and family living area of Technology and Home Economics 1 using the
