The study aimed to develop worktexts for cookery skills for grade 9 students due to their low proficiency levels, with an overall mean percentage score of 45.33, indicating that they did not meet expectations. The results showed that teachers often relied on traditional modules and were unfamiliar with innovative instructional materials like worktexts, which could help improve competencies. Furthermore, identified teaching problems were consistently reported by teachers, risking further deterioration in student learning if not addressed.
