Introduction

Department of Education (DepEd) formulates, implements, and coordinates policies, plans,

programs and projects in the areas of formal and non-formal basic education. It supervises all

elementary and secondary education institutions, including alternative learning systems, both

public and private; and provides for the establishment and maintenance of a complete, adequate,

and integrated system of basic education relevant to the goals of national development. Based on

the Republic Act 10533 Section 9 To properly guide the students in choosing the career tracks that

they intend to pursue, the DepEd, in coordination with the DOLE, the TESDA and the CHED,

shall regularly conduct career advocacy activities for secondary level students. Notwithstanding

the provisions of Section 27 of Republic Act No. 9258, otherwise known as the “Guidance and

Counselling Act of 2004”, career and employment guidance counsellors, who are not registered

and licensed guidance counsellors, shall be allowed to conduct career advocacy activities to

secondary level students of the school where they are currently employed. So they will undergo a

training program to be developed or accredited by the DepEd. “CHED is mandated to partner with

DepEd and DOLE in career guidance and counseling activities for high school students. Helping

students choose what courses to take in college can help them pursue careers that lead to better

jobs.”

As stated by Isagani (2012) understudies will no longer need to cram everything into ten

years. In specialized terms, this implies the base learning abilities or measures will be less every

year in the K to 12 curriculum than in the previous 10-year educational curriculum.

 Future job planning significance to the students who settle on their career related choices

every year (Witko, Bernes, Magnusson, & Bardick, 2006). By The K-12 curriculum, many

students will tend to work abroad because some jobs do not exist in the Philippines and furthermore

the preparation abroad is greatly improved than here. They may produce globally competitive

graduates and guarantee the employability of the students (Andales, Elarcosa, Sinco, & Ramirez,

n.d).

An education and preparation in business is developing quickly at colleges, universities

and governments worldwide supports this kind of education (Katz, 2003; Kuratko, 2005; Martin,

McNally, & Kay, 2013).

As indicated by Evangelista (2013), as referred to Mendoza and Lacap (2016), business

enterprise has been the prolong battle of different associations, both private and public. Often

neglecting to perceive racial, ethnic, and semantic differences of a students' encounters about into

and through institutions of higher education. As scholars and policy makers seek to analyze the

procedure of understudies participate in to pursue higher education (Ceja, 2004). This is

additionally applicable to the social intellectual hypothesis of Bandura (1986) which investigates

the maturity and development of interest, career and how these things transformed without

hesitation. So that the students under study truly aspire to pursue college degree, either personal

decision or with consent and approval from other individuals (Aguado, C L., Laguador, J M. &

Deligero, JC L., 2015).

Based on Statistics, more than 15,000 typical young people have problems about school.

Despite a certain amount of groaning and grumbling, 79 percent of those polled frankly admit that

they like school. Only 6 percent dislike it so much that they would like to quit. Despite their general
approval, however, many young people complain that this problem is not knowing how to study

effectively (Alba et.al.,2010 ).

This study aims to know the most choices in three major goals of DepEd in preference of

the Computer Programming Graduating Students at La Consolacion University of the Philippines.

Were the subject of this research is to recognized purposes of Graduating students preferred to get

a job, business or college. As for positive images of Graduating students, they recognized it as

applying talent and aptitude to life early, getting good jobs easily. And the reason they wanted to

get a job was usually because they want to be successful by advancing into society early, or because

it is still hard to get a job even after graduate from the university. Others go for the business sectors

for the fast independence after graduation, and learning excellent technologies, They also

recognized that Basic Education as being effective for improvement of basic and executive ability,

development of creative human resources, learn excellent skill, hope for early employment and

improvement of right personality and courteous manners. Some are going to college usually hope

for the promising future and being favourable for employment for choosing major. Graduating

students was to develop into talent of industrial institution, ability of student, and need for

manpower with high school graduating students.

Statement of the Problem

The main objective of this study is to analyze which among the three goals of DepEd is the

most preferred choice of the Computer Programming Graduating Students. Is it taking college,

doing business or go for work?

This study aim to answer the following questions:

1. What is the demographic profile of the Computer Programming Graduating students according

to:

1.1 Age; and

1.2 Gender?

2. What are the factors did the respondents considered upon choosing?

3. How this/these factor/s affect the choice of the respondents?

Scope and Delimitation

The researchers are focused on how the preparation of a Computer Programming

Graduating students in choosing at three major goals of DepEd.

The period of the study started from September 26 to October.

The respondents will be the Computer Programming graduating students upon choosing in

the three major goals of DepEd in La Consolacion University of the Philippines.

Significance of the Study

The findings of the study may be significant to the following:

Students - They are the direct beneficiaries of the outcome of this research. This study may help

the graduating students in choosing between business, work, or degree.

Parents - This study will also help the parents to known the difference between work, business o

degree.. Also the parents will help their children to know what the right path for them.

Teacher - This studies are important for the teachers to help their students to inform them about

work, business o degree. Also they can get a lot of knowledge though this research.

Academe - To contribute to the related studies conducted the three major goals of DepEd so that

they can refer to this study when topics such as how the students’ preference on their goals in

relation to DepEd’s three major goals.

La Consolacion University of the Philippines - This thesis will serve as a reference for future

students of Grade 12 Students; will serve as pattern for the future students when they choose a

topic that frames a case study about the three major goals of DepEd.

Future Researchers - This study will help to the future researcher to elaborate their knowledge

about work, business o degree. Also this study is important for the future researcher because they

might help them as one of their guide in the future.

used, the process of data gathering method and the procedure in data analysis.

Research Design

The researchers will utilize quantitative design. Quantitative information is more solid than
subjective information, and a decent examination requires great information. Quantitative data
refers to numbers and measurements, it is substantially more helpful when discovering examples
or conduct on overriding topics (Joseph, 2014).

Research Method

This study will use descriptive method in order to thoroughly explain the DepEd’s three
major goals in relation to their preference. The goal of descriptive research is to describe a
preference to its major goal. This research mainly focuses on what rather how or why chooses to
it. Therefore, observation and survey tools are mostly used in order to gather information (Nassaiji,
2015).

The target of this study is to make people aware that students was intact or not in their goal.
