ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE -DRIVEN MANAGEMENT AND IMPLEMENTATION OF TECHNOLOGY AND LIVELIHOOD EDUCATION IN NORALA

Abstract

Artificial Intelligence (AI) in educational management and implementation has transformed the ways in which institutions operate to ensure quality learning experiences to students. Using the Pearson r Correlation, the study determined the relationship between Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven management and implementation of Technology and Livelihood Education (TLE) among secondary schools Norala, South Cotabato for school year 2025-2026. Based on the findings, the extent of Artificial Intelligence (AI)-driven management shows a consistently high degree of AI uptake across core management functions, with AI-based curriculum design and AI for professional development scoring at the very greatest extent and AI applications in resource allocation and administrative tasks following closely behind producing an overall mean that likewise indicates very great integration. Further, findings suggest that the program is being implemented with strong fidelity and effectiveness. Also,it also shows that as schools integrate AI tools and systems to a greater extent—particularly in curriculum design, resource allocation, administrative automation, and teacher professional development—the implementation of TLE tends to become more effective, structured, and responsive to student needs. It was also concluded that Norala district appears to prioritize AI not only for back-office efficiency (scheduling, grading, attendance, resource planning) but equally for pedagogical design and staff capacity building — a balance that suggests an institutional strategy linking instructional innovation with operational modernization.
