Attitude Towards Career Decision Making of Senior High School Students
STUDENTS
ABSTRACT
This descriptive study investigated the attitude towards career decision making of
the 302 senior high school students of Gingoog City Comprehensive National High
School, Gingoog City, Misamis Oriental. Factors such as sex, grade level and
socioeconomic status were focused to determine their influence on students’ career
decision. The researchers utilized mean, frequency and percentage, T-test and F-
test/ANOVA, Scheffe Post Hoc Testing and Multiple Comparisons to organize the data in
the study. The results reveal that parents stand as the most prominent factor of students’
career decision. Likewise, males and females vary in their career choice such that males
are more decisive in their career decision making compared to females. Further, students
who have lower family income tend to be more fixed in their career choice compared to
those whose families earning high salaries. This study aspires to contribute to the existing
studies on career decision making among students especially that their progression from
senior high school is one of the topmost priorities in implementation of the K to 12 program
in the Philippines.
