 CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Introduction

Education, in the largest sense, is any act or experience that has a

formative effect on the mind, character or physical ability of an individual. In

its technical sense, education is the process by which “society deliberately

transmits its accumulated knowledge, skills and values from one generation

to another” (Gagan 2010).

The Hospitality Management education program has been designed to

develop skill sets to students needed in the hospitality industry while achieving

the academic rigor demanded by institutions. Presently, there has been an

immense interest among a section of students to pursue hospitality

management education as a career in the tourism industry. Educating future

managers and executives poses a challenge to these programs, given the

number of different operational segments included under the rubric of

hospitality industries, all unique entities sharing common hospitality and

tourism elements: restaurants, hotels, travel, attractions, conventions, and

leisure (Ottenbacher, Harrington, & Parsa, 2009).

In the Philippines, the Basic Education Program known as the Republic

Act No. 10533 series 2012 was signed into law on May 15, 2013 intended to

improve the quality of the high school graduates. The School year 2016-2017

saw the full implementation of the K to 12 Basic Education Program.

 Senior High School prepares the students for higher learning as subjects

from the Basic Education Program from the General Education program of the

College Level were transferred to the Senior High School. More importantly,

the additional two years of High School will prepare the students employment,

entrepreneurship, and skills development as the students undergo a core

curriculum and subjects under their chosen strands namely: Accountancy,

Business and Management, General Academic Track, Humanities and Social

Sciences, Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics, Arts and Design

Track, Sports Track, and Technical-Vocational Livelihood Track.

In the competitive world, graduates not only need to be successful in

academic achievements, but also need to possess the relevant skills in order

to be employed by future employers, or to prepare them for their chosen

course in college. The quality of graduates is vital because these will help to

ensure that graduates are equipped with the knowledge, skills and values that

will enable them to work in their respective field.

Hence, the objective of this study is to determine the completed senior

high school strand of the presently enrolled Bachelor of Science in Hospitality

Management students which may serve as a basis in gauging the congruency

of their senior high school strand to their present Hospitality Management

course.
Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine the congruency of completed Senior High

School strand of enrolled Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management

students with their present education program.

It specifically aims to answer the following questions:

1. What was the completed senior high school strand of the enrolled

Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management students?

2. Is the completed strand of the Bachelor of Science in Hospitality

Management students congruent with their education program?

3. What are the reasons of non-congruency and/or congruency of the

Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management student’s completed

strand with their education program?

Theoretical Background

Lent et al. (1994) developed Social Cognitive Career Theory to facilitate

understanding of career choice, interest, and performance processes. This

theory identifies the factors that interplay when a student chooses a certain

track and progresses on the chosen career path. Moreover, it provides a

framework on using social cognitive processes to explain success and failure,

academic outcomes, and career outcomes. This theory helps in exposing areas

that may aid researchers to understand more about career decision making
and career-related personal variables. Researchers have used this model as

basis for a number of studies in different settings.

Another theory is the self-determination theory, which states that the

students’ motivation for academic performance varies in both strength

(amount) and quality (nature), and both variations predict learning,

achievement, and continuation to college (Deci & Ryan, 2002; Reeve, 1996).

Self-determined, intrinsic motivation emerges from the learner’s own needs

and desires rather than from outside pressures (Deci & Ryan, 1987). It is this

high-quality, intrinsic, self-determined motivation that most powerfully

predicts positive school-related engagement and success. Students can

increase their motivation towards learning of tasks and content through

internalization, the process of a student adopting increasing choice and value

for learning, and ownership of the learning process.

Just as self-determination is important to student motivation, so are

students’ goals. Both sets of characteristics help to explain the reasons

why students engage (or fail to engage) in school-related tasks.

According to achievement goal theory (Harackiewicz, Barron, Pintrich,

Elliot, & Thrash, 2002), it is not only the strength but also the nature of

students’ academic goals that influence their approaches to learning

opportunities and their consequent learning and achievement. Future

 goals operate when students engage in learning for the instrumental

value of present knowledge in service of future tasks.

 CHAPTER II

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

The following related literature and studies were taken from reliable
sources such as journals, published materials, and internet sources to give
lights to the career of new BSHM students.

Foreign Literature

According to the study made by Darren Fizer (December 2013), college

students choose their job fields for many reasons. The factors that affect this
decision include family, passion, salary, and past experiences. In addition to
these factors, race and gender can also affect what field a student may choose.
Some professions have greater percentages of a certain gender or race.
Another thing that plays a big role in a student’s decision of what field to study
is the people or role models in his or her life. These role models can include a
parent, teacher, or a recent employer. When students are choosing a career,
they may not have all the information about the job they are pursuing. The
job may involve more math or science than students are prepared to study.
Students may like one aspect of a certain job and not understand what other
aspects come with that profession. For example some students may want to
be veterinarians because they enjoy being around animals, but students may
not realize how much school work is required to become a veterinarian. Also,
students may not be open to all jobs in their area of interest. Over time,
certain job fields have peaked in numbers versus other job fields; this can
form a pattern. Tools that can help students in their decision for certain career
paths include career fairs, job shadowing, or internships. These tools can
expose students to more career fields or areas within a certain field that a
student did not know about.

According to the study made by JEOFREY MTEMERI (January 2017),

sought to investigate factors that influence the choice of career pathways
among high school students in Midlands Province of Zimbabwe. The
investigation serves as a springboard to establishing a career guidance model
that would assist career guidance teachers in high schools in their endevours
to help students make career choice from a well informed perspective. A
survey design which was mainly quantitative in nature was used in this
empirical study. A self-designed questionnairae was used in collecting data
from the participants. One thousand and ten high school students and 20
career guidance teachers participated in the study. The Statistical Package for
Social Sciences version 19 calculated the percentages that were used to
analyse the data. The study revealed that family members, both nucleus and
extended, had an influence on students’ choice of careers. The influence of
mothers and fathers was rated highly as compared to other family members.
The study also revealed that schools had an impact on high school students’
choice of careers. Career guidance, especially school career days, was cited
as having a positive impact on students’ choice of careers. The geographical
location of schools was cited as quite influential in the choices of careers by
students. The study also revealed that peers had an influence on students’
choices of careers through peer advice and encouragement. However, the
influence of gender on career choice was lowly rated. In other words, gender
did not influence the students’ choice of careers. Several recommendations
were made. The study recommended the training of parents, peers and
teachers to enhance students’ choice of careers. It was also recommended
that only trained career guidance teachers be allowed to teach career
guidance. Lastly, the study also recommended a career guidance model to
assist in helping students choose suitable careers.

Local Literature

According to the (EnderunColleges.com), Senior high school or SHS

refers to the last two years of the K to 12 program that has been implemented
by the Department of Education here in the Philippines since 2012 – namely,
grades 11 and 12. Students are now required to choose their preferred senior
high strands upon their entrance and to begin studying the subjects that are
going to introduce them to the career path that they want to take.
In the old system here in our county, high school education consisted of the
first year up to the fourth year. Today, those four years correspond to Grades
7 to 10, otherwise known as junior high school or JHS. It should be noted that
currently “senior high” no longer just means the very last year of high school
but rather, the two grade levels after it. Likewise, “junior high” also does not
just mean the year before the last of high school but rather the four grade
levels under senior high.
Under Republic Act No. 10533 or the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013,
students are now required to complete Kindergarten, Grades 1 to 6 or
elementary school, Grades 7 to 10 or junior high school, and Grades 11 to 12
or senior high school. All of this must be completed in 13 years before a
student can receive his or her high school diploma.
Upon enrollment in senior high school, students are also going to have to pick
among four senior high strands or tracks. Choosing the right strand is one of
the biggest decisions a student in the Philippines is going to have to make, so
read on and find out how you can best make this choice.
 According to the study made by Irish Yvonne Mae O. Ambong (March
2017), a career choice is important because it determines your success in the
next stages of your life (PAMS, n.d). One of the tasks of high school students
is to explore and plan for their postsecondary career options. High school
students are at the exploration stage of career development. Many factors
affect career choices of high school students. Identifying these factors would
give parents, educators, and industry an idea as to where students place most
of their trust in career selection process (Super, 1990).

Senior High School is two years of specialized upper secondary education;

students may choose a specialization based on aptitude, interests, and school
capacity. Each student in Senior High School can choose among three tracks:
Academic; Technical-Vocational-Livelihood; and Sports and Arts. The
Academic track includes three strands: Accountancy, Business Management
(ABM); Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS); and Science, Technology,
Engineering, Agriculture, and Mathematics (STEAM). The choice of career
track will define the content of the subjects a student will take in Grades 11
and 12 (Official Gazette, 2012).Official gazette reference

Local Study

According to the study made by Lorenz Plamo (OCTOBER 2017), that college
or tertiary level of education is the student’s chapter of life wherein they will
pursue their desired goals in the future that’s why they must be prepared
enough before entering it. Upon preparation, they must first consider five
factors such as: family income, field of interest, chosen course for college and
grades or performance. All of these can be prepared in the pre- college level
which is the Senior High School. This program plays a significant role and
function upon preparing the students for college, these are: assessments that
shapes their skills and talents, trainings that prepares them for international
workplace and programs that can equip them the standard quality of
education. In addition to the roles and functions, the program provides a lot
of benefits. Students under the Academic strands are the ones that will mostly
benefit from the college- adopted programs being offered by Senior High
School these are students from Accountancy, Business and
Management(ABM), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) and Science,
Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM). The following benefits they
will receive from SHS are: On the Job Trainings (OJT), assessments, applied
and specialized subjects that have direct link to college, and other programs
that prepares them for tertiary level of education. Among all the SHS Tracks,
the Academic Strand students are expected to enter college in order to
continue the subjects they already took while they are in Senior High School,
because every subject being produces in this level are connected and
extracted from college level courses based on their strand. With the positive
roles, functions, impact and benefit of the Senior High School, many students
considered the positive effects of the program not just to them, but also on
the teachers and family relatives that are also the beneficiaries of the new
educational system.

Senior high school serves as the preparatory level for students before stepping
into college. It is consisted of various subjects according to their chosen strand
that is under different tracks. This programs develop students through the
method of using higher level of teaching, broader lessons and actual
application of learning in real life. Some of the subjects were extracted from
college-level courses and this serves as an introductory phase for them in
order to be prepared. Students under Academic Strand such as STEM, ABM,
and HUMSS are the ones who mainly receive this subjects that were
subdivided into core, applied, contextualized and specialized. The given
subjects mainly focus on broad reading, writing, memorizing, reporting and
then actually applied. Every strand has its own uniqueness, they differ on the
major subjects they provide, this were classified as “specialized”, this subjects
are the ones that will guide and lead students to their chosen course in college.

According to the study made by Jayson S. Penedilla, Lilibeth B. Rosaldo

(October 2017), young students have diverse dreams and interests in life.
There is an old adage which inspires people to succeed: “if there is a will, there
is a way.” In choosing a career, suitability to the interest of the students is
given importance. Students must know on what degree to pursue in college,
one that interest them and must also fit their abilities so that it will not be
hard for them to choose the right career path.

Senior high school students need a lot of professional advice especially when
it comes in choosing their careers. It is in this period, where students are
advised to prepare for their future worthwhile occupations. Choosing the
perfect career that will fit is one of the most important and crucial decision
that every person has to make. This can be one of the measures whether an
individual will be successful in the future or not. At this stage, self-realization,
role try-outs, occupational explorations in schools, and finding the first job is
the tentative step.

Foreign journal

According to the journal made by Roh, Hyo-Lyun (2012), to understand the

characteristi cs of highschool students in selecting a career. The subject included
750 students from, who became a university student in 2011. The most of
number of students answered that they applied to 3 to 4 universities and they
decided their major and university on their last year of high school. Many placed
weight on the major rather than the school. Among types of selecting career,
family-type received the most voted. In selecting a major, the most answered
that they consider their aptitude and then career opportunity. Most students said
they were equipped with information and knowledge about the major they applied
for beforehand. In selecting a university, many mainly applied for the ones with
the highest chance of getting accepted. Many said they learned of the university
from their high school/teacher or through the internet. A very few answered that
they learned of the university through media such as TV/radio and newspaper.
Therefore, appropriate information should be provided to the ones who have the
greatest influence on students in selecting a career, family. Also, universities need
to develop a promotion strategy that utilizes high schools as well as the internet
and smartsphones.

Local Journal

According to the journals made by Juan A. Abarro (June 2016), One

significant reform in Philippine Educational System is the implementation of K
to 12 program. Its goal is for the “development of a holistically developed
Filipino with the 21st century skills who are ready for employment,
entrepreneurship, middle level skills development and higher education upon
graduation from Grade 12” (The K to 12 Basic Education Program, 2012). The
structure of K to 12 implementation which provides addition of two (2) years
level from the old system which are Grades 11 and 12 which the students will
take core courses and career pathways. This will result to no enrollment in
first year and second year college which will be a big challenge to colleges and
universities during the School Year 2017-2018 and 2018-2019. The offering
of Career Tracks in Grades 11 and 12 could be an avenue for colleges and
universities to collaborate with the Department of Education (DepEd). In this
way, resources of colleges and universities who have no enrollees can utilize
their resources to the maximum level. In view of the need to help colleges
and universities in the province of Rizal address this challenging situation and
come up with the necessary initiatives, this study on Factors Affecting Career
Tracks Choices of Grade 9 students was conducted.

Factors that influence the choice of specialization of students

The following are literature reviews and studies related factors that influence
senior high school students in choosing track/strand:

future opportunities/ideal job, personality, family, and peer/classmate.

Future Opportunities/ Ideal Job

The earning potential of your chosen profession is likely to be a factor that

influences your career path. You may find one aspect of your career is more
financially rewarding than another, or that working your way through the
ranks holds greater financial incentive than staying in the same job. Your
personal financial needs are also likely to influence the career choices you
make. Opportunity is the third factor that has shaped career choices for
students. Opportunity may influence how students have perceived their
future in terms of the reasonable probability of a future in particular career
fields. The issue of poverty has played an important determining role in the
opportunities available to all (McQuarrie, 2006) Opportunities in career
choice would include academic settings, technical schools, entry level

job openings, job shadowing, vocational guidance, job placement, and

industry

Contacts (Kroll, Dinklage, Lee, Morley, & Wilson, 1970)

Personality

Personality plays an important role in the choosing of the right career. A

student’s personality must be self motivated type, as to investigate career
possibilities from early on in their lives, and not the procrastinating type that
waits till they are compelled to decide. Students must take seriously the role
grades play in limiting opportunities in the future. Splaver went on to say “It
is important for you to have a good understanding of yourself, your
personality, if you are to make intelligent career plans”. (Splaver 2000, p.
12). Perception of being suitable for particular jobs also has been found to
be influenced by a number of factors including ethnic background, year in
school, level of achievement, choice of science subjects, attitudes and
differences in job characteristics (McQuaid and Bond, 2003).

Most of the students lack adequate information regarding various careers,

hence, the choices that they make are embedded in their perception of the
ideal job and the subjects they study in secondary school (Taylor et al,
2004)

Family

Parents often have an influence on the career paths their offspring pursue. A
parent may urge a child into a vocation similar to their own, or to one that
has demonstrated high earning power. You may find yourself attracted to a
particular line of work because of your parents’ professional history, which
likely has given you a first-hand perspective on that type of work. Many
children grow up idealizing the professions of their parents. If you always
looked up to your mother and admired her teaching skills, that may
influence you to pursue a career in education. Parents may also intentionally
or unintentionally push a child toward a particular career path, especially in
the cases of family-owned businesses, where parents expect their children to
take over the company. Still other parents apply pressure on their offspring
to strive for particular high-profile careers, feeling they are encouraging their
children to reach high (McQuerrey, 2006).

One consistent finding in research suggests that adolescents’ own

aspirations are influenced by their parent’s aspirations or expectations.
Parental support and encouragement are important factors that have been
found to influence career choice. Children may choose what their parents
desire simply to please them (Taylor et al, 2004).

Peer/Classmate

Pummel, Harwood and Lavallee (2008) report that the external influences
that help to shape an individual’s career choice are also influenced by
significant others through social support from peers. People around
contribute a lot in one’s decision-making .Friends may influence an individual
choice of career . Individual interest may be affected by peers for the reason
that one wants to be with them in fulfilling dreams or a certain career .
Classmates also play an important role in the formation of student’s
achievement, related beliefs and values , even if these classmates do not
always correspond with the peer group of leisure-time friends (Frenzel,
Goets, Pekrun& Watt , 2010). Id n a cross-sectional study relating aspects of
classroom climate to student enjoyment ,Frenzel ,Pekrun and Goetz (2007)
reported that class aggregated student perceptions of classroom values were
significantly and positively related to students’ enjoyment . Developments of
students interest were really affected by their peers and classmates
 CHAPTER III

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

The method that will be used in this study is qualitative method of

research. The study aims to gather data from the subjects from their

perspectives. This chapter will show how the researchers came to the

necessary data for this study, and how these data will be analyzed, interpreted

and presented in the most appropriate way possible.

Research Design

The design selected for this study will be the quantitative and qualitative

method of research. This method will help the study into achieving an in-depth

understanding about the participant’s perceptions.

Participants of the Study

The participants of this study will be the currently enrolled first students

of Polytechnic College of Davao del Sur, Inc. school year 2019-2020 taking up

Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management course, specifically those who

have completed senior high school from the K-12 program.

Research Locale

The research will be conducted in Polytechnic College of Davao del Sur,

Inc., a private, non-stock corporation along MacArthur Highway, Digos City.

The school offers different facilities such as: a two-storey A/V Building that

houses the air-conditioned Library and the Audio-Visual Room; four-storey

building for the Nursing Fundamental Skills Laboratory, Lecture-Demo Rooms,

Computer Laboratory and Classrooms; four-storey building which houses the

HRM Mini Hotel, Criminology Deftac Room, additional classrooms and offices

of the Executive Officers; and, the PCDS Events Center to cater different

events of the school. The school also offers courses at the tertiary level such

as Bachelor of Science in Nursing and other health-related programs, Bachelor

of Science in Information Technology, Bachelors of Science in Criminology,

Bachelor of Science in Radiologic Technology, and Bachelor of Science in

Hospitality Management. Senior high school program during regular days and

weekend is also available.

Research Instrument

Each participant will be interviewed individually. The interview guide will

consist of ten pre-made questions: the first three questions as introductory

phase; the next two explores the completed senior high school strand of the

enrolled Bachelor of Science in Hospitality Management students; another one

question asks if the completed strand is congruent with their present

education program; the next two questions asks about the reason of the

congruency/non-congruency; and, the last two as the closing and thank you

phase. This will allow the topic to be explored in an unconstrained manner

from the interviewee's perspective, with the inclusion of predetermined areas

of interest, guaranteed that these areas would be covered by each participant,

and that the data obtained would be relevant to the study's aims and

objectives.

During the interview, the researchers will take down notes on all the

information given by the participants. Audio recording will also be used. Audio

recording the interviews will be an appropriate method for providing detail of

response, thereby enhancing the quality of the data obtained for transcription

and analysis. It is considered a more applicable approach to data collection

than by relying solely on field note data during interview. The advantages of

audio-recording interactions centers on their capacity to provide accurate and

reliable data which can be stored.

Data Gathering Procedure

The data gathering will go through by first asking permission from the

authorities to allow the conduct of the study. First will be to the Dean of

Hospitality Management Department, Ms. Jenny Ross Miro, MBA for her

approval and permission to conduct this study. Then permission will be asked

to the participants, to allow the researchers to use them as the subjects of the

study. They will be given invitation letters which will include information

regarding the study, the objectives, and the participant’s role. Informed

consents must be signed by the participants prior to the individual interview.

At the end of the interview, a simple token of appreciation will also be given.
Data Analysis

During the interval of data collection, the researchers will thoroughly

study the information given by the participants based on their answers to the

questionnaire. Each gathered information will be carefully reviewed,

synthesized, and documented in order to generalize an answer to the research

questions.

To begin with, the researchers will listen to all the recordings. These will

then be transcribed and checked by the researcher alongside the field notes

taken. Then the data will be delineated to get to a general meaning that is

related to the research questions. The data will then be clustered into

meanings that answer the research questions. The clustered meanings will

now be synthesized into a common theme that describes the participant’s

experience. The descriptions will be integrated into a universal description of

group experience, which is, arriving at a common theme collective and

accurate to all participants.

The researchers will write a summary of the interview incorporating the

themes and present it to the participants to check on the true value given to

the data and to make corrections if necessary. Feedback from the participants

will determine if the summary was an accurate description of the participant's

experience, thereby testing and verifying the credibility of the interpretation.

Ethical Considerations

Participants will be given a consent form prior to the interview. The

consent form will explain the purpose of the study, the right to refuse

participation, the researcher’s responsibilities, and the potential risks and

benefits of the study.

Participant’s privacy and confidentiality will be ensured. The researcher

shall exercise prudence in making pronouncements regarding the results of

the study.
