Self-Perception Of ABM Students Towards Their Academic, Social
And Emotional College Preparedness
This study assessed the self-perception of the selected Accountancy,
Business and Management (ABM) students on their academic, social and their emotional college preparedness. The students’ demographic profile was also tested for significant difference in the three constructs of the college preparedness. Through a self-made questionnaire in a 4- scale Likert style, data were gathered from the 255 randomly selected ABM students of one private higher education institution in Batangas Province in the Philippines. Self-perception showed a college-prepared student academically, socially and emotionally. However, there are various constructs of their academic and social-emotional preparedness that need further improvements. The statistical test of significance indicated that the various constructs of academic, social and emotional preparedness have no difference by age, type of school, family income and order of birth. A significant difference was shown in the respondents’ sex and social preparedness but not on academic and emotional preparedness. Similarly, there was significant difference in the various constructs of academic, social and emotional preparedness in terms of the students’ GWA in high school. For this, high schools should develop collaborative teaching and learning strategies focus on reading and writing. In addition, colleges and universities may provide pertinent course information through their websites to guide the students on the various details of their chosen undergraduate courses. Indeed, to prepare students for college alone is insufficient; a college-ready student should complete a degree with a life-ready perspectives. A Close Look At The Needs And Challenges Faced by Senior High School Students Of the ABM Strand
This qualitative study aimed to better understand the needs and
challenges faced by Senior High School(SHS) Accountancy, Business, and Management(ABM) students in their journey of learning real life business problems. It utilized a case study method in which the unit of analysis is the SHS Grade 11 and 12 ABM students of Simala National High School, a secondary public school in Cebu, Philippines. Analysis of transcribed interviews and observations from 20 key informants revealed the findings encapsulated in the following themes: a) ?Clamor for Work Immersion? which explains the need to expose the learners to hands on real world business activities; b) ?Demand for Learning Resources and Facilities? which entails the need for adequate print and non-print learner?s material, computers, and unlimited internet access; c) ?Request for Skilled and Experienced Teachers? which relates the need to hire teachers who are business graduates or have firsthand business experience; d) ?Time runs fast? which reveals the challenge of allocating enough time in all their projects particularly those involving data gathering outside school; and e) ?Funds empty fast? which shows the challenge of budgeting their allowances to be sufficient for their school requirement expenses. The school administration and teachers shall then address the needs through enhancing the work immersion plan, intensifying the school improvement plan, and hiring of qualified teachers. To cope with the challenges, the students need to develop time management skills and properly set priorities on where to allocate their available finances.

The academic performance of the respondents in Fundamentals of Accounting, Business, and Management 1 subject were "Very Satisfactory" (Overall Mean=86.230, sd=5.204). Also, statistically no significant difference (F=4.16, sig=.742) in the academic performance of the respondents were found depending on the factors that influence them in choosing ABM as their academic strand. Therefore, the null hypothesis stated was accepted.
