Chapter 1

The Problem and it’s Background

Introduction

Work immersion is a type of vocational training or experiential learning program that

provides students with the opportunity to gain practical experience in a particular field or

industry. Every student must have the ability to undergo on work immersion in order to be

prepare to work in a particular field. Kolb's theory, learning occurs through a four-step cycle that

involves concrete experience, reflective observation, abstract conceptualization, and active

experimentation. It enable’s students to recognize what is on this kind of field they choose.

to be aware and familiar on what you see in the field. Naturally, there must be some struggles

and challenges you going through which this will make you hard to communicate with the

people in the environment of the field.

Students should enjoy this kind of experience because it provides them with an

opportunity to learn and apply their knowledge in the field they have chosen. Through this

experience, they can become more aware of the skills and competencies needed to succeed in
their desired profession. This knowledge will serve as a valuable asset in pursuing their

ambitions in the future.

Theoretical Frameworks

“The Challenges Encountered of Grade 12 Senior High School Humanities and Social

Science student during Work Immersion”, this study is supported by the Lave and Wenger's

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

In order to establish a comprehensive background for this study, a survey of related literature

and studies has been conducted and have drawn out some concepts, ideas and dataa bases in

formulating approaches, formats, instruments and necessary information in thebconduct of the

study.

Local Literature

According to Jayson Macatuggal (2020), found out that these challenges would enhance

the students’ ability and skills in work. The researchers recommended that students should free

themselves from doubt, which includes shyness or lack of self-confidence. In work, people do

what they have to do; students should not let their limits get in their way because focusing on

one’s incapability will cause them to fail. Always keep your persistence high and remember that

in work, everything will flow smoothly if you mastering the task at hand. The key to successful

work is hard work.

According to Cherelyn Linay (2020), the findings of the two groups, students

encountered challenges in work immersion. The two groups of respondents strongly agreed that

having work immersion helps the students improve their knowledge, skill, and work ethics. The

findings of the study proved that work immersion is effective in preparing students to become

ready for future work. Having immersion in Grade 12 is helpful for students to get started with

work. Based on the findings of the study, the following action plan can be proposed to overcome
the challenges encountered by students in work immersion. The main objective of 'on-the-job

training' is to acquaint the students formally with a real-life workplace environment. Immersion

students typically develop greater cognitive flexibility.

According to Criselda M. De Chavez (2020), In terms of timeliness, interpersonal

relationships, and safety precautions, the findings indicated that students were ready for work

immersion. The responses indicated that they were not as efficient and productively prepared as

the first three indicators listed. There were issues with the work schedule, unapproachable

coworkers, and the attitude of superiors toward pupils. The findings led to the following

conclusions: Grade 12 students were ready for work immersion, but they still need more

activities to help them grow as people and become productive workers. Senior High School

students had issues that needed to be addressed in the classroom in order for them to adjust when

they are actually in the workplace with partner industries.
