data was a questionnaire made by the researchers. It has two

parts: 1. personal data sheet, 2. Factors affecting the

choice of strand. The first part has questions about the

respondent’s name, gender, economic status and family’s

occupational background. The second part was a checklist

that determines the factors that affects the choice of

strand among the respondents. The questionnaire underwent

the reliability and validity testing since it was personally

made by the researchers to ascertain its validity. Validity

will determine how good a test is for a particular

situation; reliability will tell how trustworthy a score on

that test will be and cannot draw valid conclusions from a

test score unless sure that the test is reliable. A pilot

testing was also conducted through the grade 11 students.

The questionnaire was declared valid because of the result

of Cronbach’s alpha numeric of .081.
