The Senior High School (SHS) program is a critical stage in the education
system of the Philippines. This educational level provides students with various tracks
that will prepare them for their future careers, whether it is in academics, technical-
decision for grade 10 students because it can have a significant impact on their future
academic and professional careers. However, despite its importance, there is a lack of
understanding of the factors that influence student’s preference for SHS tracks.
The SHS program was introduced in the Philippines in 2012 as part of the k-12
program to improve the country’s educational system. The SHS program aims to
provide students with specialized education and training that will prepare them for
their chosen career path after graduation from high school. The program is divided
Sports, Arts, ad Design (SAD), each of which has its unique curriculum and learning
outcomes.
Choosing the right SHS track is a critical decision that every grade 10 student
has to make. The choice they will determine their future academic and professional
careers, and it is a decision that cannot be taken lightly. There are several factors that
can influence student’s track preference, including the interest, aptitudes, family
opportunities.
Several studies have been conducted on the factors that influence students
track preference, and they have identified several determinants of SHS track
preference. for instance, Dela Cruz et al. (2020) fond that academic performance, peer
students track preference. Lorenz et al. (2020) found that student’s interest, career
goals, and perceived benefits of the track were the primary factors that influenced
However, these studies were limited in scope and did not comprehensively
examine all the determinants of SHS track preference. Therefore, there is still a need
for a more comprehensively study that will explore all the factors that influence
The school year 2016-2017 marks the start of senior high school in the
Education (DepEd)(Department of Education 2016). There are four career tracks in the
program: academics track, arts and design track, sports track, and the technical
vocational track. The academics track and the technical vocational track are further
divided into sub-tracks or what they refer to as “strands”. Under the academics track,
four strands are available: accountancy and business management (ABM); humanities
and social sciences (HUMSS); general academic strand (GAS); and science, technology,
engineering, and mathematics (STEM). The technical vocational track consists of four
strands as well: agrifishery arts, home economics, industrial arts, and information and
communication technology (ICT). Hence, before entering senior high school, students
The concept of intelligence isn’t confined to just one facet of “being smart.”
Howard Gardner, a Harvard psychologist and professor, believed that the traditional
concept of intelligence is far too narrow and limited. Further, IQ tests often miss out
on other facets of being smart that one may have. Instead, his theory says that people
can possess 8 multiple intelligences. These go beyond the usual aptitudes in math or
languages. With that, how do multiple intelligences influence teaching and learning?
In this day and age, more and more know the value of soft skills and even other skills
and abilities a student can have. In fact, educators use this to help them assess their
students’ learning styles while accepting the fact that students have various abilities.

career choice is the birth right of the individual which tells about the individual family,

Several studies have identified various factors that influence student’s SHS
track preference. Lorenz et al. (2020) found that academic performance, peer
student’s track preference. The study found that students with high academic
performances tended to choose academic tracks, while those with lower academic
performance preferred TVL tracks. The study also found that peer influence and
parental guidance played a crucial role in shaping students who had peers and
parents who supported their preferred track were more likely to choose it. Moreover,
career aspiration also influenced student’s track preference, with students who had
clear career goals more likely to choose tracks that aligned with their career
aspiration.
Juttler, et al. (2021) found that student’s interest, career goals, and perceived
benefits of the track were the primary factors that influenced their track preference.
The study found that students who had a genuine interest factors that influenced
their track preference. The study also found that students who saw the potential
opportunities was a crucial factor that influenced student’s track preferences. The
study found that students who had access to resources and opportunities related to a
particular track, such as equipment and facilities, were more likely to choose it.
Several studies have also explored the role of gender and socio-economic status
in student’s SHS track preference. Bansal et al. (2020) found that students from
