| Abstract: | This study addresses concerns surrounding the transition program in Special Education (SPED) within the Philippines' Department of Education (DepEd), focusing on the competence of SPED teachers in facilitating smooth transitions for Learners with Special Educational Needs (LSENs). The research uses a mixed-method approach to evaluate 23 SPED teachers from 12 public elementary schools in the DepEd Camarines Norte Division. The findings revealed competencies in livelihood programs among the strength of SPED teachers and indicated room for improved vocational skills. While the teachers exhibit moderate competence in academics, enrichment, and pre-vocational skills, crucial for holistic transition planning, their profile factors such as age, service length, and education significantly influence their competence to facilitate successful transition programs. The thematic analysis of the focus group discussions uncovers challenges, which include insufficient support, financial constraints, and stereotypes. In conclusion, the study recommends a contextualized transition program tailored to support SPED teachers in guiding learners effectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
