2. The rapid evolution of education has led to the diversification of academic programs and specializations, providing students with a myriad of choices to tailor their learning experiences. Within this evolving landscape, the BTLED program stands as a testament to the dynamic nature of vocational and technological education. However, this dynamism also introduces challenges related to curriculum relevance, industry alignment, and the evolving demands of the job market. |ZSCMST-CELA BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY The BTLED program, with its emphasis on technology and livelihood education, addresses the growing need for skilled professionals in various industries. However, it is essential to critically examine whether the program meets the expectations and aspirations of its students. Common challenges in specialized programs like BTLED include a potential mismatch between academic content and industry requirements, limited exposure to practical applications, and the need for continuous program improvement to keep pace with technological advancements.   Moreover, the satisfaction of BTLED students is not solely dependent on academic factors. Social and cultural elements within the learning environment, as highlighted by Vygotsky's sociocultural theory (Vygotsky, L. S., 1978), can significantly impact students' satisfaction and sense of belonging within their academic community.

3. |ZSCMST-CELA Theoretical Framework The study is anchored in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs (Maslow, A. H., 1943), providing a theoretical foundation for understanding the factors that contribute to the satisfaction of students in specialized programs, particularly the Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education (BTLED) program. Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs is a psychological theory that proposes a hierarchical structure of human needs, ranging from basic physiological requirements to higher-order needs associated with personal growth and fulfillment. The hierarchy comprises five levels: physiological, safety, love and belonging, esteem, and self-actualization. This framework posits that individuals are motivated to fulfill these needs in a sequential manner, with each level building upon the one below it. In the context of the study, Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs offers a valuable lens through which to understand the multifaceted aspects of student satisfaction within specialized programs like BTLED.

4. |ZSCMST-CELA Conceptual Framework Building upon the theoretical framework, the conceptual framework outlines the key variables and relationships that will be examined in the study. It establishes a structure for analyzing the factors influencing the satisfaction of BTLED students with their chosen specializations.

5. |ZSCMST-CELA Statement of the Problem/Objective This research aims to investigate the level of satisfaction among BTLED students towards their enrolled specializations. This research, grounded in Maslow's Hierarchy of Needs, aims to address these issues by investigating the level of satisfaction among BTLED students with their respective specializations. By employing a random sampling method across various colleges in Zamboanga City, the study seeks to capture a diverse range of experiences and perspectives within the BTLED program. The use of a survey questionnaire allows for the collection of both quantitative and qualitative data, providing a comprehensive understanding of the factors influencing student satisfaction.

6. |ZSCMST-CELA Research Design This study adopts a mixed-methods (qualitative-quantitative) research design to comprehensively explore and analyze the satisfaction levels of BTLED students. By integrating both qualitative and quantitative approaches, the research aims to provide a richer understanding of the factors influencing satisfaction within the context of specialized programs. Quantitative Method The quantitative component of the research involves the administration of structured surveys to a representative sample of BTLED students. The survey instrument will be designed based on established scales and validated measures, capturing quantitative data on various aspects of satisfaction Quantitative data will be collected using standardized Likert scales and multiple-choice questions, allowing for numerical analysis. Statistical techniques, such as descriptive statistics, correlation analysis, and inferential statistics, will be employed to identify patterns, trends, and relationships within the data. Qualitative Method The qualitative component involves in-depth interviews and focus group discussions with a subset of BTLED students. These qualitative methods aim to capture the nuanced aspects of satisfaction Open-ended questions will be used to allow participants to express their thoughts and experiences in their own words. Thematic analysis will be employed to identify recurring themes, patterns, and qualitative insights emerging from the interviews and focus group discussions.

7. |ZSCMST-CELA Data Collection Timeline: The data collection process, including the administration of surveys and conduct of interviews, will be conducted over five Academic Months or within one semester of an Academic Calendar, ensuring a systematic and efficient approach to gathering both quantitative and qualitative data. The mixed-methods design serves to leverage the strengths of both approaches, providing more complete and nuanced understanding of the satisfaction dynamics within the BTLED program. Research Locale The research will be conducted randomly at the different colleges of Zamboanga City, where the BTLED program is offered. Population and Sampling The population consists of all BTLED students at different colleges of Zamboanga City. A stratified random sampling will be used to select a representative sample size.
