Chapter I :

THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

INTRODUCTION

Our government and the Department of Education Secretary are trying to connect education

from pre-school through post-secondary because of the stiff economic competition and worried

about the skills of the future work forces, so that more students are prepared for further study and

work.

In October 5, 2010, the recent program on Philippine Education as part of our Ex-President

Benigno “Noynoy” Aquino III’s Educational Reform Program was the instituting of the K-12

Education Plan.

What is K to12 program? What is senior high school? Will SHS mean two more years of High

school? Will the additional two years of high school means additional expenses? Will SHS ensure

employment for me?

The K To 12 Program covers Kindergarten and 12 years of basic education (six years of

primary education, four years of Junior High School, and two years of Senior High School) to

provide sufficient time for mastery of concepts and skills, develop lifelong learners, and prepare

graduates for tertiary education, middle-level skills development, employment, and

entrepreneurship. While senior high school includes Grades 11 and 12. In SHS, students will go

through a core curriculum and subjects under a track of their choice. Those two additional years will

page 1
equip learners with skills that will better prepare them for the future, whether it be: employment,

entrepreneurship, skills development (further tech- voc. training), higher education (college).

The additional two years doesn’t really means additional expenses. Senior high school

“completes” basic education by making sure that the high school graduate is equipped for work,

entrepreneurship, or higher education. This is a step up from the 10 year cycle where high school

graduates still need further education (and expenses) to be ready for the work. SHS will be offered

free in public schools and there will be a voucher program in place for junior high school

completers. At the same time, SHS cannot guarantee employment; but it creates the following

opportunities: Standard requirements will be applied to make sure graduates know enough to be

hirable.

This study will help the Grade 10 students to understand and also to be prepared for the

Senior High School.

BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

We chose the study of senior high school because we wanted to know the perceptions of the

grade 10 students about this issue, and also to know if they are already prepared for this additional

two years course in secondary schooling.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

THEORY OF KNOWLEDGE CLASSES

The theory of knowledge classes by Alden B. Dow (2010) with collaboration of Midland

Public Schools’ International Baccalaureate Program to develop lessons to be thought onsite at The

Home and Studio.

Mr. Dow said that the program focused on supplementing and enriching the students’ study

of the ways knowing and areas of knowledge in a unique, stimulating environment. The lessons are

designed to define and exemplify the IB Learner Profile Traits through a series of interactive, hands-

on experiences in different areas throughout the Home and Studio. The IB Learner Profile Traits are:

Knowledgeable, Risk-Take, Caring, Open- Minded, Balanced, Inquirer, Principled, reflective,

communicator, and thinker.

Both Dow High School and Midland High Schools eagerly visit the Home and Studio once a

week throughout their semesters, often citing their visits as the highlight of their week.

CONCEPTUAL FRAMEWORK

The focused of this study was undertaken by the following conceptual framework which has

a three part process: the input, process and output.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter is composed of related literatures and studies and related readings. The researcher has

through intensive readings of materials, both printed and download through internet which has a

great significance to problem during the course of thesis writing.

This chapter also shows and discussed the Synthesis-of-the-state-of-the-Art, gap bridged of the

study as well as Theoretical and conceptual framework.

FOREIGN LITERATURE

Zellman (2012) conducted a study about the implementation of the K-12 Education Reform

in Qatar’s Schools, this study is a reform education for a new era, because it views education as the

key to the nation’s economic and social progress. This study, one of a number of RAND studies that

trace and document the reform process in Qatar, was designed to assess progress made in the first

year of the K-12 reform’s implementation in Qatar’s schools and the perception of the parents on the

implementation of the K-12 program.

page 9
FOREIGN STUDIES

The leadership of Qatar is greatly invested in its K–12 education reform, Education for a

New Era, because it views education as the key to the nation's economic and social progress. This

study, one of a number of RAND studies that trace and document the reform process in Qatar, was

designed to assess progress made in the first years of the K–12 reform implementation in Qatar's

schools.

The study team relied on two complementary approaches — a case study analysis of

classroom- and school-level observational and interview data from 16 schools (four traditional,

Ministry of Education schools; 12 new, Independent schools), and an analysis of national survey and

student performance data — to assess the school-level implementation of key reform components

and a key interim reform output: the academic performance of students in Independent schools

compared with that of students in Ministry schools. The study's findings, based on data collected

from 2004 to 2007, indicate that in the early years: (1) The reform was working, but more progress

was needed. The new, Independent schools were more student focused than were.

Ministry schools and differed from Ministry schools in many expected ways; principals,

teachers, parents, and students, for the most part, recognized and appreciated the differences. (2)

Few changes had occurred in the Ministry schools. (3) Although reform institutions and components

were in place, a substantial number of policy changes precipitated by implementation concerns

during these early years resulted in uncertainty and concern among stakeholders, potentially limiting

the reform's future power. (4) Independent school students outperformed their Ministry peers on

page 10
new national assessments in Arabic and English. Independent school students assessed in Arabic

also outperformed Ministry students in mathematics and science. However, most students were not

yet meeting the reform's new, higher standards.

LOCAL LITERATURE

Manalo (2012) conducted a study about the Enhanced K-12 program as Perceived by the

Parents of grade six Pupils at Baao District, Baao Camarines Sur, School Year 2011-2012, this study

is related to the researchers study because this focused on the perception of parents and reactions on

K-12 implementation only differ on the respondents because this study has a wider respondents than

the researchers study.

This study has a relation to the researchers study because it also get the perception of the

parents on the K-12 implementation.

Tan (2011) conducted a study on the Most Perceived Problems on K-12 Implementation of the

Students Luzon Elementary School, Tagkawayan Quezon.

This study is related to the researchers study as it also focused on the problems perceived

about the K-12 program which affects the student’s performance and parent’s perception.

Nolledo (1992) conducted a study about the operation of our educational system revolves

around laws legislated by congress. The primary source of these laws is the 1987 constitution. A

separate Article of education is provided in the 1987 constitution. It prescribed that the state shall

page 11
assign the highest budgetary priority to education and ensures that teaching attract and retain its

rightful share of the best available talents through adequate remuneration and other means of job

satisfaction and fulfillment.

LOCAL STUDIES

In his study, Tullao (200H) indicated that there is a need to upgradehuman resources through

various forms of investment in human capital in order to reap the benefits of an expanded global

trade in services. This upgrading process is intended not only to protect Filipino professionals from

foreign competition but more importantly to build strong human resource infrastructure in the light

of a globalized trading environment.

Specifically, the readiness to compete internationally should be viewed in terms of the ability

of local professionals to meet the standards and human resource requirements of foreign as well as

domestic companies.

On the other hand, Magno (2013) cited that teachers are one of the key elements in any

school, and effective teaching is one of the key propellers for school improvement. This review is

concerned with how to define a teacher’s effectiveness and what makes an effective teachers. It

draws out implications for policymakers in education and improving classroom practice.

Furthermore, the study of Dejarme (2008) suggested that in order for schools and universities

to cope with new innovations, they should keep at pace with the tempo of societal

page 12
changes and technological progress. The schools of today should participate in the educational and

social revolution. Thus, the curriculum in Philippine schools today has to be geared to the rapid

societal changes and the new responsibilities for the new breed of Filipinos. The three most

important sectors of society that give direct input to the improvement of the curriculum are the

academe (institution), the government, and the industries (both public and private companies.)

Research Methodology

This chapter discussed the methods and the procedures of research followed in this study, the

description of respondents, the instrumentation, the data gathering procedure and the appropriate

statistical treatment used for the generalization of the study.

RESEARCH DESIGN

The descriptive design of research was used in conducting this study since it aims to describe

the extent of the students’ readiness, along with the implementation of the K to 12 program.

Garcia (2010) cited that descriptive research aims to describe systematically, functionally,

accurately and objectively a situation, problem or phenomena.

Calmorin and Calmorin (2003) cited that descriptive research focuses at the present

condition, the purpose is to which find new truth. Descriptive research is also valuable in providing

facts on which scientific judgement may be based.

LOCALE OF THE STUDY

The study was conducted at Sampaguita Village National High School (SVNHS), a public

secondary high school located at Calendola Village, San Pedro, Laguna, Philippines. It is offering

page 14
Junior High School (Grades 7-10) at present.
Sampaguita National High School, once known as Sampaguita Village Barangay High

School, was founded in 1977 through the Barrio High School Charter. It was created through the

efforts of the officers of the homeowners association of Sampaguita Village through its president

Feliciano Leyson. On its first year of operation, the school started with two first year and one second

year classes with only four teachers. Classes, then, were held inside the compound of Sampaguita

Village Elementary School under the supervision of the elementary principal. In 1979, a portion of

the open space in Calendola Village was resolved for the perpetual use of the Sampaguita Village

Barangay High School through a Municipal Resolution. In that same year, the school’s first owned

3-classroom building was constructed and some of the classes were transferred in Calendola Village.

After the construction of the second 3-classroom building in 1981 all classes from first to

fourth year were held in the new school site in Calendola Village and in 1986 the school got its

government recognition.

In 1987 all barangay high schools were nationalized and with it the school’s supervision was

turned-over from the elementary principal to the newly designated Teacher-in-Charge. Consuelo L.

Escudero, a math teacher, was designated Teacher-in-Charge in 1988 and became the first principal

in 1995 to date.

The independence of the newly nationalized high school from the supervision of the

elementary principal gave way to the gradual improvement and development of Sampaguita

National High School’s physical facilities. From then on enrolment soared. Located in a new

Page 15
barangay, the school adopted the name Sampaguita, the National Flower, and the means of

livelihood of most of the people of San Pedro. Because of the need for additional classrooms due to

increase in enrolment, in 1991, a new 2-classroom building was acquired through the concerted

efforts of the new school head, the PTA, and the Municipal Mayor, Calixto R. Cataquiz. The

building was donated by Levis Strauss, Philippines and a 10% school share of the total building cost

of Php 398,000.00 was shouldered by the school. The amount was raised from the donations of the

different stakeholders of the school with the help of Mayor Calixto R. Cataquiz. The need for more

classrooms increased because of massive increase in enrolment and more teachers were hired. From

SY 2002-2003 up to SY 2004-2005, there was an enrolment overflow and the total number of

classrooms can no longer accommodate the number of classes on a regular schedule, thus, shifting

of classes in inevitable. To date there are two shifts of classes, 20 in the morning which starts at 6:00

a.m and 200 in the afternoon which starts at 1:00 p.m.

In 2005 an extension of Sampaguita National High School was created in Adelina I Complex

Subdivision in Barangay San Antonio to accommodate students from far flung areas of San Pedro.

The creation of the school’s extension was made possible through the initiative of Arturo L.

Hatulan, the barangay captain of Barangay San Antonio with the support of the then municipal

mayor Felicisimo A. Vierneza and Petronila S. Ilustrisimo, the District Supervisor.

Sampaguita National High School Adelina I Complex Extension is on its fifth year of operation this

year with 1,414 students divided into 22 sections, 7 first year, 6 second year, 5 third year, and 4

fourth year. The creation of the new school in Adelina Complex made enrolment in the main

campus less crowded.

SOURCES OF DATA

The method used in this study was the quantitative research method were to emphasize

objective measurements and the statistical, mathematical, or numerical analysis of data collected

through polls, questionnaires, and surveys, or by manipulating pre-existing statistical data using

computational techniques.

In social sciences, quantitative research is widely used in psychology, economics,

demography, sociology, marketing, community health, health & human development, gender and

political science, and less frequently in anthropology and history. Research in mathematical sciences

such as physics is also 'quantitative' by definition, though this use of the term differs in context. In

the social sciences, the term relates to empirical methods, originating in both philosophical

positivism and the history of statistics, which contrast with qualitative research methods. Qualitative

research produces information only on the particular cases studied, and any more general

conclusions are only hypotheses. Quantitative methods can be used to verify which of such

hypotheses are true. A comprehensive analysis of 1274 articles published in the top two American

sociology journals between 1935 and 2005 found that roughly two thirds of these articles used

quantitative methods.

RESEARCH INTRUMENTS

The study utilized questionnaire as major instrument in order to measure the intended

information needed for our study. The researchers discussed the mechanics of the questionnaire and

page 17
lead the responded to answer the certain question. It was used as the primary data gathering

instrument, it focused on the grade 10 students’ perception and readiness for the Senior High

School.

DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE

All data pertinent to the topics of this study were gathered personally by the researcher. Secondary

data were gathered from news items, books, and from the internet, while the primary data were

gathered from the filled-up questionnaire administered to the respondents of the schools covered in

this study.
