What this module is about?

Personality Development and Work Immersion

JESS JAY M. SAJISE

 Work Immersion Program was also conceptualized. Basically, it aims to expose the

students to the harsh realities of environment in a workplace. This exposure also aims to develop

and enhance the work ethics and habits of senior high school students. It would also serve as an

assessment tool on the affectivity of the module designed for the purpose.

            All Work Immersion Program exposures shall observe strict compliance of all Philippine

Laws and other Guidelines and Orders issued by proper government agencies to ensure that the

exposure program would protect the interest and welfare of the students engaged in Immersion

Work Program.

 Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) Advisory No.9- , students are allowed to

immerse themselves in a workplace between 8:00 a.m. until 5:00 p.m. every day for a

minimum of 80 hours or a maximum of 240 hours per term. Students below 15 years old need

to have parent’s consent and shall be at the workplace for at most four hours a day.

 Department of Education, DepEd Order No. 30 series of 2017 - Guidelines for Work

Immersion apply not only to both public and private senior high schools, but also to technical-

vocational institutions offering the different academic strands.

 Republic Act 9231 “Special Protection of Children against Child Abuse, Exploitation and

Discrimination Act”

 Department of Labor and Employment DepEd Order No 149 - provides guidelines for

assessing hazardous work areas for working students under 18 years old.

According to Department of Education Order No. 30 s. 2017, one of the goals of the

K to12 Basic Education program is to develop in learners the competencies, work ethics and values relevant to

pursuing further education and or joining the world of work. In order that the nations development target will be
realized and to achieve greater congruence with the basic education, work immersion is a required subject that has

been incorporated in the curriculum.

Under Annex A of Work immersion Curriculum Guide and According to Trade Congress of the

Philippines (2015) the word "immersion" as it implies to the K to 12 curriculums is defined in

the Department of Education DepEd Order No. 40, series of 2015:

It was emphasized that through work immersion, students are exposed to and become familiar with work

related environment related to their field of specialization to enhance their competence .This is for the purpose that

the students can relate directly to their postsecondary goal. Based from these facts, this study claim on the focus of

the objectives of work Immersion that by the time learners reach senior High School, they would have already

acquired almost all the competencies and skills that would prepare them for the curriculum exits (higher education,

employment, middle-skills development and entrepreneurship) Work immersion provides them with an avenue to

test themselves and apply what they have learned in a non-school scenario. In work immersion, learners are not

only able to apply their previous training but are also able to experience the social interactions in a work

environment. Their experiences during work immersion will develop many skills and values that would help them

as they transition from high school to real life. In addition, DepEd. Order No. 40,s.2015 believed that in order to

achieve its desired goals and objectives work immersion needs to establish partnerships for work immersion

opportunities for students among others. There are many different delivery models offered by Dep. Ed to be

chosen according to learners purposes, needs and partnership arrangement yet great challenges are being faced by

many internal stakeholders.

Many authors and legal basis has similar concepts of work immersion (Baldoz, 2016, DepEd. 2017) 16-18

years old students should undergo at least 80 hours for work immersion. However, many challenges cropped in its

implementation which the internal stakeholders like school, teachers, parents ,students and partner institutions

concern on the achievements of the objectives remains a challenge. To achieve greater congruence between
basic education and the nation's development targets, Work Immersion, a required subject, has

been incorporated into the curriculum. This subject will provide will provide learners with

opportunities relevant to pursuing further education and/or joining the world of work.

Taking this fact into consideration, the researcher shared common vision and is challenge to this new

thrust of DepEd as the need of the society to create employment opportunities through

immersion. He believes that the learners have the potential to create these opportunities.

Apparently, it is the responsibility of the immersion teachers to inculcate knowledge and skills,

proper attitudes and values towards work and develop self-reliance and confidence to be able to

make decision by him. Eventually, these attributes and immersion know-how shall be a stepping

stone in creating economic opportunities for themselves and for the society at large. Finally,

immersion seeks to nurture among young minds the qualities from which the immersion spirits

develops.+9

"Immersion is done outside the school campus in a 'Workplace Immersion Venue,"

defined as "the place where work immersion of students is done. Examples of work immersion

venues include offices, factories, shops and project sites.

What could lead to confusion is that the word "immersion" actually has two meanings in

K to 12. The first meaning refers to a required SHS subject in the curriculum. The second

meaning refers not to a subject but to a preferred mode of delivery of Tech-Voc subjects. Let us

take the first meaning – immersion as a subject in the curriculum. In the Curriculum Guides

posted on the DepEd website, the word "immersion" occurs in the specialized subject of the

tracks (Academic, Technical-Vocational-Livelihood or TVL, Sports, and Arts and Design).

 The importance of work-text book for immersion must be a vital point of giving students

as a guide or to assess to be able for them to guide, evaluate and understand venue to improve

them through experiencing real stuff firsthand. This is the very highlight of the senior high

school immersion work-text book. It helps students to acquire knowledge and experience that

can help them grow as professional individuals. The K-12 Curriculum envisions “holistically

developed learners with 21st century skills” (DepEd Primer, 2011). At the core of this basic

education program is “the complete human development of every graduate”. This further means

that every student would have an understanding of the world around him and passion for life-

long learning while addressing every student’s basic learning needs: “learning to learn, the

acquisition of numeracy, literacy, and scientific and technological knowledge as applied to daily

life”. Experience in work immersion is considered to be one of life's greatest teachers. As

trainees they can use it as an inspiration as they gain expertise in their respective fields. This

experience will surely help them not only for their present jobs as a student but also for their

future job as professional employee of this society.
