...future depends upon it. To be more ascertain people get to use their preference in such a way that they would not be put at risk. Preference is the act of preferring, choosing, or favoring one above other. One example of this is choosing what career path to be taken in College. But it is not simply choosing, there are some factors associated why people choose one above other. A student might choose Engineering because he is good at Mathematics or Accountancy because it is an in-demand course. This proves that choosing a career path is an important decision that will make in determining future plans because this decision will impact throughout ones lives. Usually, this occurs in the midst of fourth year in high school of the students. For them to be able to go onto higher level, they are sought to choose a career path among many options. But because of these many options they tend to be more confused and they tend used their preference. Notre Dame of Kabacan is just one of the school institutions in Kabacan, North Cotabato that caters secondary level of education. This school has fourth year high school students that might experience the same situation. In this study, the researcher will: determine what is the career preferred by students; identify the factors affecting their preference; determine the advantages and disadvantages in choosing a career; and identify the problems encountered by the students in choosing a career path. This is an important matter in the...

...CORRELATES TO CAREER PREFERENCE OF GRADUATING STUDENTS OF THE CLSU SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL submitted by: CHERYL ANN P. GALVEZ to: Dr. Arneil G. Gabriel In partial fulfillment of the requirements in Research Methodology for Public Administration PA 213 SY 2014-2015 2nd sem CORRELATES TO CAREER PREFERENCE OF GRADUATING STUDENTS OF THE CLSU SCIENCE HIGH SCHOOL INTRODUCTION Education is often regarded as passport to social mobility. This simply means that education can pave the way to an individual’s better and promising future. This is the very reason why the Philippine Constitution provides for at least free formal basic education, more particularly in public schools Formal basic education under the new educational system in the country is now popularly known as K-12, which begins with the kindergarten and proceeds to 12 years in the elementary and secondary level. Unlike the old educational system which emphasized the value of a college degree before employment, the new program which begun to be implemented in 2014, hopes to equip every learner who graduates after senior high school (Grade 12) with the opportunity for improved employment and entrepreneurship while ensuring that the high school graduate has the needed competencies to pursue a college degree either immediately or at some later stage (Luistro, 2012). Students who will be finishing their high school education under the new educational program may therefore be better enlightened as to what...

...Factors affecting 4th year students of Ann Marris Montessori School in choosing preferred college program. Background of the study: To have a beautiful future means to sacrifice and invest their own money and time to send the children in their family to school. According to Theodore Roosevelt, “Education is the key to success.” In the present times, education in the Philippines is very important. Education is the major basis of employment of the Filipino youth. To graduate with a college degree is to have a good job and even improve their self-esteem. Many of the youth today are confused and uncertain as to what path they should follow after their high school days. During the 1960’s and even today, people who graduated college found more job opportunities available to them than those who had a lower form of education. We believe that students who graduate college with the course suited for them will even have a higher percentage of landing a job. Statement of the problem: * What are the characteristics of the seniors in terms of: Sex: Age: Parents’ educational attainment: Parents’ occupation: Size of income: Sibling position: * What are the top three expressed career choices of the students? * What are the preferences of the students in choosing a career in college in terms of: Childhood aspiration: Family/Relatives: Peer/Friends: Values In demand jobs: School guidance counselor: Hypothesis ...

...10.1007/s10956-006-0355-6 Factors Affecting Junior High School Students’ Interest in Physics1 Ricardo Trumper2,3 We report the results of a study on students’ interest in physics at the end of their compulsory schooling in Israel carried out in the framework of the ROSE Project. Factors studied were their opinions about science classes, their out-of-school experiences in physics, and their attitudes toward science and technology. Students’ overall interest in physics was “neutral” (neither positive nor negative), with boys showing a higher interest than girls. We found a strong correlation between students’ “neutral” interest in physics and their negative opinions about science classes. These findings raise serious questions about the implementation of changes made in the Israeli science curriculum in primary and junior high school, especially if the goal is to prepare the young generation for life in a scientific-technological era. A more in-depth analysis of the results led us to formulate curricular, behavioral, and organizational changes needed to reach this goal. KEY WORDS: interest; junior high school students; physics. INTRODUCTION As noted by Osborne et al. (2003), “the investigation of students’ attitudes towards studying science has been a substantive feature of the work of the science education research community for the past 30–40 years” (p. 1049). Its importance is emphasized by a persistent decline in post-compulsory high school science enrollment over the...

...Decision making is a vital part of an individual's life. It is a complicated process which involves information search and processing to understand available options (Moore, Jensen, & Hauck, 1990, in Rice & Dolgin, 2000). It is during adolescence that an individual needs to make one of the most important decisions, that of choosing a career (O’Hare, 1987, in Rice & Dolgin 2000). During their senior year in high school, students are faced with the dilemma on what they want to do right after graduation: pursue college education, learn a trade by enrolling in technical-vocational program, or work immediately. Whatever career decision the high school seniors eventually make, it is important to determine the career decision making process they undergo. It is also important to know which factors they consider or disregard in their career decisions. At stake in making the right career decision is their physical, mental, and emotional well-being. Thus, it is imperative that they choose the occupation that best fits each of them. Majority of the local researches on career decisions and the factors influencing them focus on adolescents. Similarly, the literature and studies on Overseas Filipino Workers (OFWs) usually delve on the economic and social repercussions of overseas employment (Asis, 2004; Nicodemus, 1997). There is no available study regarding the career decisions of the adolescent children of OFWs in particular. Although a recent research on the impact of migration on Filipino families...

INTRODUCTION The Global Economic Crisis pulled countries down from around the globe to a recession. Wide-ranging declines in many aspects of growth characterize the overall impact it had on the global scale. Following the Asian economic crisis in 1997, the present global economic crisis imposes new challenges to the Philippines as a developing country. Following are expositions of the macro economic impacts of the crisis in the Philippines setting, its implications in the prevalent poverty scenario, and policies and program undertaken by the government in response to the crisis. Global Economic crisis resulted to financial problems or financial pressure. This is a situation where money worries are causing stress. This is the reason why many high school studying...

First Avenue, Highland Park, NJ 08904, 732846-6850 Eileen Stec, Instruction & Outreach Librarian, Douglass Library, Rutgers, New Brunswick, NJ 08901, 848-932-5009 Hannah Kwon, PhD Student, Rutgers SC&I, New Brunswick, NJ 08901 Abstract Despite the considerable attention paid to the need to increase the information literacy of high school students in preparation for the transition to college, poor research skills still seem to be the norm. To gain insight into the problem, library instruction environments of nineteen high schools were explored. The schools were selected based on whether their graduates did well or poorly on information-skills assignments integrated in a required first-year college course. The librarians in the nineteen schools were asked to characterize their working relationships with teachers, estimate their students’ information-literacy achievement, and provide data on their staffing and budgets. Findings suggest that school librarians are seldom in a position to adequately collaborate with teachers and that their opportunities to help students achieve information literacy are limited. Introduction The study reported in this paper was inspired by observations made by students in the Master’s in Library and Information Science (MLIS) program...

...DISTRACTIONS ON THE STUDY HABITS OF STUDENTS IN CAVITE STATE UNIVERSITY–CAVITE CITY CAMPUS SCHOOL YEAR 2014 – 2015 Clyde Louie M. Brosas ------------------------------------------------- Undergraduate thesis proposal presented to the faculty of the Department of Management, Cavite State University-Cavite City Campus, Cavite City in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Bachelor of Science in Business Management major in Marketing Management with Contribution No. __________. Prepared under the supervision of Mr. Frinze Al A. Bernal. INTRODUCTION Distractions are the division of the attention of the individual from the chosen object or task; it could be from internal or external forces. This may be attributed to lack of interest or lack of attention given to the object or certain task. Distractions are affecting the daily lives of people. The level of tolerance to these distractions may differ between people. Students are also exposed to different distractions that may affect their study habits. Students are exposed to distractions in and out of the school, every student may have 1 or more distractions and each one of them may differ from each other. Internal forces are forces that act on an object or scenario within the system of the student. Emotions, personal problems, hunger, are some of the examples of internal forces that may cause distractions. While noise extracurricular activities and work are examples of external forces that may...

...performance of students may be affected or shaped by a lot of factors to include time management, access to facilities, conducive learning environment, presence or influence of institutional support, and other resources which in one way or another can contribute to scholastic achievement. However, there is not much research, particularly in a local setting, showing focus on the relationship between study time allocation and academic achievement more specifically among fourth year and fifth year engineering and architecture students. It has been observed that among engineering and architecture students, spending much time in studying is not a common practice, or at the very least, is not admitted. There is a question as to whether or not studying does matter especially that such has not been very apparent in the College of Engineering and Architecture. The level of diligence displayed by students of other courses or their devotion to allocating study time appears to be unusual or uncommon in the College of Engineering and Architecture since a substantive level of understanding to the mind-boggling engineering and architecture-related theories and doctrines as commonly expressed in formulas is preferred and is reflected on the degree of intelligence among the students. In other words, analytical intelligence in numbers and figures and not merely diligence defines the students of engineering and architecture. Thus, it is not so common and not very so often that one sees in school students...
