INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study [RECAST]

The Philippines before the implementation of K to 12 was the only Asian

country to have a 10-year education program, and one of the three

countries which still has it implemented along with Djibouti and Angola

in Africa (Geronimo, 2013). 10 years of education has always been a

debate when it comes to competitiveness with other countries which have

12 or more years of education and unable to master basic competencies

that they need. The mastery of basic competencies and the age of the

youth who have undergone the 10 year basic education were also things

the Department of Education needs to contend to.

To battle the problem of unemployment and par up with the developing

countries, The Department of Education implements the K to 12 Basic

Education Program because 10 years of education is insufficient and is

considered congested (SEAMEO, 2012). This initiative by the Department

of Education aims to improve the quality of education and offers an

education system that provides ample time for students to master the

needed skills and the basic competencies that they will need. This

program also prepares students in the future by being eligible to work

 2

internationally because they completed the 12 year education which is

the global education standard for companies around the world.

One thing that everyone has noted of is adding two years in the K to

12 Curriculum. Senior High School will cover the two years in K to 12

whilst Junior high school (JHS) will replace the 1st year up to 4th year in

the secondary education. (Banal-Formoso, 2016). Upon completion, they

will receive a high school diploma. When a student cannot graduate

Grade 12, he/she will miss out the benefits of SHS such as having a job

after they graduate SHS, etc. The adding of two years has been

particularly criticized by parents for being “heavy on the pocket” and for

students as “two more years of misery”. Senior High School ensures its

graduates that they can be employed upon graduation depending on the

path they choose.

Subjects in the K to 12 Program will be taught by spiral

progression. In a lesson, basic knowledge is first taught and when

eventually mastered, links to each lesson which “spirals upwards” to

advanced lessons which build up the study (Johnston, 2012). Through

this, students can pick up knowledge more efficiently because they will

not be overwhelmed when an advanced topic is taught because they

already have a good grasp of the knowledge that is needed for the topic

hence improving their skills.

 3

Even before they arrive at SHS, Grade 10 students are into a

dilemma in which track to choose. This led the researchers to do a study

on the track preferences of Grade 10 students.

The 2 tracks which are the Academic and Technical-Vocational tracks

are further subdivided into strands. In the Academic track there are four

(4) strands which are the Science, Technology, Engineering and

Mathematics (STEM), Accountancy and Business Management (ABM),

Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), and General Academic Strand

(GAS) and in the Technical-Vocational track there are also four (4)

strands which are Home Economics (HE), Information and

Communication Technology (ICT), Agri-Fisheries Arts, and Industrial

Arts. The other tracks are Sports and Arts and Design.

The tracks offered by Senior High is the first step towards the

chosen career of the student. The track that the student will choose will

provide necessary skills in preparation for their future job. So it is

important that students choose the right track and if not, can have

detrimental effects to their future. How students choose their preferred

track? There are many factors affecting the student’s decision. These

range from family choice to influence from friends. The school also plays

a big role in the student's selection of a track. What if the track the

student wants isn't accessible in the said school? They end up choosing

the wrong track. Influence can be a reason why students choose a track
 4

that is even not for them. Even students in Grade 11 are still confused in

their choice of track because of the lack of guidance. If a student disliked

the track that he/she took, they can change their track but with

consequences. How can they prevent this from happening? How can a

student choose the right track for their future? That is why they conduct

this research to identify the track preferences of the students and guide

them in choosing the right track.

Theoretical Framework [NEEDS EDITING GRAMMAR]

The following theories that are briefly discussed for the conduct of the

study.

The Choice Theory according to William Glasser as cited in Charles

(2008) states that fundamental premises of the school which explains

that all people are allowed to develop their own creativeness. That all

people are curious about nature, that the most efficient and

knowledgeable in learning is started and pursued by the learner. It also

claimed in this theory that freedom is essential to the development of

their personal responsibility. According to this theory, development of

their knowledge, creativeness and talents will gives progress in their

reason to choose and it will give hint to what they want career in the

future.

The choice theory is important in this study since this study is

explaining how people develope their talents, creativity and in learning

 5

which gives their hint to the career tracks they want to pursue. It will

help them to know their tracks and they should take it seriously when

choosing their specialized tracks. In their learning's through their

developing talents and skills, they will have an idea on which way to go.

John Dewey’s Curriculum Theory states that curriculum should not be

presented as finished abstractions, but should include child’s

assumptions and include the child views in his or her own world. Dewey

uses four instincts that describe the characterize children’s behavior.

These are social, constructive, expressive and artistic. Curriculum

should build a world that the children will be interested. Dewey wants to

accomplish his goal was to combine subject areas and materials. By

doing this, Dewey made connections between subjects and world’s child.

Dewey was credited for the development of the progressive schools which

are still existence today.

This theory states that curriculum should be connected to the

children’s world. The child has the right to connect with his/her world to

his/her choice of track.

Another theory is the Career Development Theory. According to

David Tiedman said that this theory is career development of decision

making and self-development approach to career is responsible for one’s

own behavior because each one has the capacity for choosing a career.

He referred to the evolving stage of self-in-situation from the earliest

 6

awareness of self to point at which individual becomes capable of

evaluating experiences, anticipating, and imagining future goals.

This theory states that when choosing career is when one’s

individual change their courses because of external factors and changing

aspirations can affect choosing a track. According to that theory, a new

decision must be made that you need to be sure on choosing a track.

Beginning with exploration and eventually reaching integration.

Holland’s Theory of Career Choice by John Holland can help the

children to choose the majors that interest them. They need to combine

self-assessment with exploring possible majors. They need to expand and

explore one’s options and be able to talk with knowledgeable people

about one’s field of interest. This are the good decision making that help

one to decide what one really desires.

For obvious reasons, this theory has something to do with

choosing one’s career and the researcher’s study has something to do

with the preferred tracks of Grade 10 that they need to know that their

interested in. Choose what they really want and motivates them. They

need to assess themselves to know what their major is and explore their

options and think about their field of interests.

Conceptual Framework
 7

Based on Republic Act No. 10533 otherwise known as the

“Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013” the law was signed by former

President Aquino on the15th day

of May in the year 2013.The RA 10533

[see appendix C] seek to strengthen early education of the children, build

proficiency through language, and provide upper secondary education. In

RA 10533, Senior High School there will two years add in high school

program. The two years curriculum will help the students to think and

decide about their interest and specialization. The choice of

specialization will define through subjects in Grade 11 and 12. They may

choose core curriculum and specific tracks subjects. Specific tracks are

Academic; Technical-Vocational- Livelihood; and sport and arts. The new

curriculum system aims to improve the chances of qualifications in

employment of the student’s future and will allow them to have middle-

level skills and be successful after graduating high school.

The focus of this study will be undertaken by the following

conceptual framework shown in Figure 1 which has a three part process:

the input, process and output.

The input in their research paradigm includes the profile of Grade

10 students and their preferred academic track of the respondents. In

the research process, this includes the analysis of gender and sections of

the respondents, and comparative analysis of the chosen Senior High

School track of the respondents. When the analysis of the data is

 8

finished, the output includes a proposal plan that eases the confusion of

Grade 10 students in choosing their Senior High School Track.

Figure 1. The Research Paradigm

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to identify the factors affecting the track

preferences of Grade 10 students of St. John’s Cathedral School.

Specifically, it seeks to answer the following questions:

1. What is the profile of the grade 10 students in terms of:

a) Sex;

b) Family income;

c) Parent’s highest educational attainment;

d) Parent’s occupation?

2. What are the Senior High School track preferences of the

respondents?

3. What are the factors affecting the track preferences of the

respondents?

4. Is there a significant relationship between the respondent’s profile

to their choice of Senior High School tracks?

 10

5. What output could be done to aid the students in choosing their

Senior High School track?

Hypothesis

There is no significant relationship between the profile and the

choice of track of Grade 10 students in St. John’s Cathedral School in

terms of choosing their SHS track.

Importance of the Study

The results of this study will be beneficial to the following:

Grade 10 students. This study will serve as a guide to them in

choosing their preferred track for their upcoming SHS.

Teachers. This will also be beneficial to them who play a big role in

shaping students into successful people, as this study helps them focus

more in their mastery to deliver a better learning experience to future

Senior High School students.

St. John’s Cathedral School. The results of the study serves them

as a guide in improving their Senior High School tracks for students to

had choice in their preferred track.

Parents. They can help their future SHS students in guiding them

to the right track for their children.

 11

Researchers themselves. They will benefit the result of this study

to choose their preferred track.

Future Researchers. They can use this study as reference in

helping them in their own research study.

Definition of Terms

Grade 10 is the fourth and last year of Junior High School

according to Wikipedia. In the Philippines, Grade 10 students are in the

range of 15 to 16 years old.

Senior High School is the additional 2 years in the K to 12 Basic

Education. Prior to graduating Grade 10, they enter Senior High School

where students will choose tracks that is linked to their future jobs.

Tracks are the main subject in Senior High School which a student

chooses and subjects are proposed prior to the track that the student

chose.

Preferences refer to the choices of one individual over something.

In this study, preferences is what they want to choose in SHS.

St. John’s Cathedral School is a Catholic school under the

institution of Archdiocese of Lingayen-Dagupan. It is founded in 1958

and located at Zamora St. Dagupan City.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

These are some of the foreign and local literature related to the study:

[ADD MORE LOCAL AND FOREIGN LITERATURE]

A. Foreign Literature

According to the research of Gerald T. LeTendre, Barbara K. Hofer,

Hidetada Shimizu that talks about how students select their track.

They also study how these students are really capable to their

selected track. They also examine students from their country for that

how could they pick their track, it shows that the result of this

examination more student is affected through cultural beliefs by

which it was proven by them.

Researchers observe in their research they have study how the

study select their track and by which it affects how these students

being capable in their chosen track, they also notice that U.S, Japan

and Germany show the same culture of the student. Students are also

affect in values and attitudes in culture.

A. Local Literature [CHECK GRAMMAR]

According to Mark Catarroja, the Kto12 system in the

country aims to develop the social and economic progress. This

progress is being promoted since Jan 20, 2012, by former

 13

president Benigno Aquino signed a contract by which it is

approving the Kto12 system this make education system better.

The kindergarten education law has been started successfully the

Kto12 system. By which all of the country have this system expect

for the Philippines. former president want that the education

system much suitable to the new students in which students can

have their job when they finish the Kto12. In the Kto12 system the

studies are being enhance. This Kto12 system have lengthen the

year for highschool students it adds 2 more years by which we call

the students in grade 11to12 as senior highschool and some

known this more likely as college students. In Kto12 system you

have 4 tracks to choose for these are academic, technical

vocational livelihood, sports and arts design track. This RA 10533

Which is to expand job opportunity by the reducing job skill for

high school graduates

In this article researchers did have read, how is this Kto12

system apply to the students and talks about how can you getting

a job when you finished this Kto12 system. You can choose

different tracks in the Kto12 system by which involve your skills.

This Kto12 system ensures that students that can’t go to college

can a decent job if they graduated from high school. Student that

can’t choose their proper track and will be correct by basing it to

their skills.
 14

The Kto12 system want to secure that all student can have

a job. The Kto12 system have lengthen the school year of high

school student it adds 2 years. It is not only the main goal of the

Kto12 system for you to have decent job but to improve and

enhancing your skills.

METHODS AND PROCEDURES

This chapter presents the method and procedures will use in this

study. This includes research design and the sources of data that they

will use for the study, locale and population of the study,

instrumentation, statistical tools that will be used in the study as well as

the ethical considerations.

Research Design [EXPLAIN FURTHER]

The descriptive method will be used in this study. Descriptive

research involves gathering of data and describes it by analyzing,

interpreting, comparing, etc. (Aggarwal, 2008)

Locale of the Study

The researchers will conduct the study at the St. John’s Cathedral

School of Dagupan City. It is located at the heart of the city of Dagupan

and named after the Patron Saint of Dagupan City. St. John the Apostle

and Evangelist. Rising to meet the demand for a Catholic education in

this area, the school was founded in 1957 by former Bishop Jesus J.

Sison. It started to operate in June of the same year offering

kindergarten, elementary and secondary courses. It was originally a

Catholic school for boys only. In the year 1965 the school opened its

portals to girls who consequently, in big numbers, enrolled on that

 16

school year. To this day, the school, through the efforts and dedication of

the past and present administration, has undergone changes throughout

the years of its existence and has continuously grown into its present

stature – a flourishing Catholic School in this city who continue in

molding young citizens of this world to become disciple of Christ

committed to service and solidarity.
