Utilizing a descriptive-evaluative research design, the study examined the current learning materials used by ALS learners to determine its level of skills development and to know the perception of learners towards the usefulness and relevance of these learning materials. Data were gathered from ALS learners using a weighted mean and standard deviation (SD) analysis to profile their perceptions and actual skill attainment. The findings revealed that the learning materials yielded an overall average mean of 2.72 (SD = 0.99) for Literacy Skills , which is interpreted as Upper Intermediate . Similarly, Livelihood Skills recorded an overall mean of 2.66 (SD = 0.96) , also falling within the Upper Intermediate range. Regarding the learners' perceptions, the materials garnered an overall mean of 2.82 (SD = 0.92) for Usefulness and 2.74 (SD = 0.93) for Relevance , both interpreted as Effective . The results suggest that while the learning materials successfully facilitates a transition toward complex knowledge application, the variance indicated by the standard deviations highlights a need for more localized and differentiated support. These findings underscore the importance of aligning learning resources with the specific vocational and contextual needs of ALS learners to ensure sustained engagement and higher levels of skill mastery.
