Micabalo, Ily E. Abella Business and Accountancy University of Cebu, Mandaue City, Philippines Business and Accountancy University of Cebu, Mandaue City, Philippines Abstract The advent of laboratory functions inside an institution greatly affects the technological literacy among students' approach to real-life situations. The study aims to determine laboratory functions' relevance to the graduates' technological literacy. The 181 graduate respondents participated in the study on a snowball method in data gathering. Frequency and simple percentage, weighted mean, Chi-Square Test of Independence, and One-way ANOVA were used to treat and interpret the data. The findings revealed that the graduate-respondents perceived laboratory functions to a Moderate Extent. It also revealed that graduates' technological literacy in the aspects of knowledge, capabilities, and ways of thinking and acting was perceived to a Moderate Extent. A genuinely huge connection between the degree of selection of laboratory facility capacities and the degree of innovative education was uncovered. Statistical significant differences in the extent of the adoption of laboratory functions, when grouped by its extent of contribution to these functions to attain graduates' technological literacy, were also identified. The study concluded that laboratory functions greatly affect and provide a significant role in graduates' literacy in technology. If more empowerment is given to the institution's laboratory functions, it will create an efficient and effective student resilient in the ever-changing environment of technology approaches.

To be a mechanically proficient resident, an individual ought to comprehend what innovation is, how it functions, how it shapes society, and how society shapes it. Also, a mechanically educated individual has a few capacities to "do" innovation that empowers them to utilize their creativity to plan and assemble things and take care of commonsense mechanical issues. A quality of an innovatively educated individual is that they are comfortable with and objective about utilizing innovation neither terrified nor charmed by it. Innovative proficiency is substantially more than only information about PCs and their application. It includes a dream where each individual has a level of information about the nature, conduct, force, and results of numerous innovation parts from a true viewpoint (Dakers, 2014). The global development in technology changes the way students learn and teachers teach as students and teachers can easily acquire new knowledge and skills through technology. Rapid technological advances need to be balanced and mastered by every prospective teacher by which current information is easily obtained from anywhere through internet facilities. The existence of technology is very close to students. Most students prefer to find references from the internet rather than reading books for various reasons ranging from efficiency, more references. Student knowledge is not limited to the classroom and library's learning process but from various materials and information on the internet (Santoso & Lestari, 2019).
