Simplified Pattern Drafting Procedures for Casual Apparel in Tailoring NC II

This study examined the effectiveness of simplified pattern drafting procedures for casual apparel among Grade 10 students enrolled in Tailoring NC II at Toledo National Vocational School during the 2025–2026 school year. The findings served as the basis for a proposed Enhancement Action Plan. Specifically, the study described the demographic profile of the respondents, including gender, participation in related activities or competitions, and time spent on pattern drafting outside the classroom. It also assessed students’ perceptions of the simplified procedures on ease of use, clarity, and usefulness, and evaluated their performance in terms of accuracy, time efficiency, and the quality of their output. Furthermore, the study determined the relationship between students’ perceptions and their performance levels. Data were collected from 50 students using a researcher-adapted survey questionnaire. Descriptive statistics, including frequency, percentage, weighted mean, and standard deviation, were used to summarize the data, while Pearson’s correlation coefficient was employed to examine the relationship between variables. Results indicated that students had highly positive perceptions of the simplified procedures, particularly in terms of ease of use, clarity, and usefulness. These perceptions were associated with strong performance in accuracy, efficiency, and output quality. In contrast, standard procedures were perceived as more difficult, leading to moderate performance outcomes. A significant positive correlation was found between students’ perceptions and performance, suggesting that more favorable perceptions contribute to improved skill development. The findings support the development of an instructional toolkit to enhance teaching strategies, refine learning materials, and improve student outcomes. Overall, the study highlights the value of simplified procedures in promoting confidence, competence, and efficiency in pattern drafting within the Tailoring NC II curriculum.
