Abstract
A significant increase in the demand for high-quality education has been brought on by
globalization, which has fueled competition among universities and colleges to enhance their
educational offerings and entice more students. This study aimed to investigate how satisfied
grade 12 students were with their selected academic path and implementation may affect a
student's satisfaction with their academic performance or interest in pursuing their preferred
course in college. The researcher employed the descriptive research methodology to pinpoint the
factors influencing senior high school pupils' levels of academic track satisfaction. The students
are overall satisfied with different dimensions. The study also shows that with regards to learning
facilities it gets the lowest weighted mean of 2.53, laboratories and complete references are very
important especially for specialized and applied subjects. Based on the obtained and interpreted
data from the respondents, statistically and numerically there is a significant relationship
between different dimensions of satisfactions and the personal satisfaction of students on their
academic strand.

Hypothesis
4.4 Curriculum
The emphasis of this study is on Grade 12 Senior High School students' perceptions of
the strand's degree of satisfaction. The study's respondent comprises 180 students and will be
conducted during the first semester of the school year 2022-2023. The study covers all the
academic track/strand of Senior High School at Kapayapaan Integrated School.
The other students who are not in grade 12 Senior High School and not academic strand
are not included in the scope of this study.
Theoretical Framework
This study is based on finance professor Dennis Zocco's Risk Theory of Student
Course Selection. Throughout their academic careers, students must make decisions, and
decision-making is crucial to the learning process. F. A decision, according to Yates,
Veinott, and Patalano (2003), is a commitment to a course of action that aims to generate a
gratifying outcome.
One of the most important factors in how well students learn is the choices they
make regarding their course selection (CS). What are the expected returns/benefits this
course will provide, and what is the risk that I won't get those expected returns/benefits?
This is the key (compound) question relating to the decision to choose a course. The CS
process takes on various shapes over the course of a student's academic experience. At the
start of that career, the choice of courses is constrained because required courses make up
the majority of the student's schedule. However, there is some flexibility in course selection
because the majority of required courses are offered in multiple sections and almost
certainly taught by multiple professors. The CS decision becomes increasingly difficult as
the student progresses through the program since choices for elective courses and sections
need to be made.
Some decisions are risk-free because they have implications that could result in
failure, which is typically unclear. Although some actions, like purchasing a lottery ticket
or taking part in games of chance with unfavorable odds, demonstrate risk-seeking
tendencies, decision-makers are typically believed to be risk-averse in decision theory,
which means they aim to minimize the risk inherent in their choices. When making CS
decisions, students are aware that there is a chance that some of the outcomes they
anticipate from the course may not occur. By speaking with the professor who will be
instructing the course, going over the syllabus, reviewing the data provided by the
institution, such as course descriptions from the school bulletin or course evaluation scores
from previous semesters, and utilizing the student network or positive and negative course
referrals, they try to manage that risk. Prior to making the CS decision, the student makes
an effort to lower the risk involved by either raising the likelihood that their return
expectations will be reached or redefining their expectations in light of a new evaluation of
the future.

Literature Review
This chapter contains a review of the studies and relevant material that the
researcher has looked into to help throw light on the subject being researched.
Student satisfaction is a crucial element because education is one of the
main factors that contribute to economic progress. The university serves as both an
educational institution and a place where services are provided, frequently with
simultaneous production and consumption. Considering how the students' ties to the
campus and willingness to utilize all the services may affect their level of happiness is one
method that educational institutions may think about improving service quality in the
university. (Childers et al., 2014).
Learning Facilities
Government financing for secondary education has to be increased. This will help
with efficient school management. The government should provide the necessary financial,
personnel, and material resources for running schools. To increase their administrative
capacity, school administrators should participate in training and retraining programs.
(Ogunode & Ajayi, 2022). The academic achievement of the children should be improved,
according to school leaders. These include keeping an eye on instructors' and students'
actions to ensure that the learning environment in the classroom is not only safe but also
supportive, as well as making sure that learning-supportive behaviors are rewarded. The
interests of the pupils should come first at the institution. There should be advancements
made in education (Bassey, 2022).
Teacher’s Credibility
Curriculum
To raise the standard of instruction, and increase student engagement, and better
manage knowledge resources, higher education institutions are seeking more and more for
new approaches to embrace. Education is significantly impacted by technological
advancements, and blended learning is now being used in educational institutions.
Technology-mediated learning is also making steady progress. Emphasizes students on a
blended course's self-efficacy and the effects it has on student satisfaction are both
impacted. This satisfaction is a result of the course's introduction. The findings indicate that
students' satisfaction with their education is positively impacted by LMS self-efficacy.
Furthermore, they find that key factors influencing LMS self-efficacy include system
content, accessibility, and system components connected to the improvement of critical
thinking. (Periti, 2020). According to Gregorio (2022), the more frequently teachers use the
internet and multimedia, the more positive an influence it has on students' interest in
learning. The happier and more enthusiastic students are in learning social studies. Mai
(2015) investigated student satisfaction in higher education and the factors that influence it.
The most influential predictors of student satisfaction were the overall impression of the
school, overall impression of the quality of education, teacher expertise and interest in their
subject, the quality and accessibility of facilities, and prospects of the degree furthering
student's careers.
The design and methods used to carry out this investigation were covered in this
chapter. The research design, sample size, and sampling method were all presented.
Utilization of instruments and statistical analysis of the data.
Research Design
The researcher employed the descriptive research methodology to pinpoint the factors
influencing senior high school pupils' levels of academic track satisfaction. It is intended to
be a true representation of the participants. The participants in this study responded to
survey questions, and the researchers then described their answers.
Sampling Technique
This study used Simple Stratified Random Sampling in determining the samples of
the study which is 180 of the total population of 347 Grade 12 students in Kapayapaan
Integrated School that took academic tracks under ABM, HUMSS, and STEM.
HUMSS 12 - Artemis 42 22
HUMSS 12 -

STEM 12 - Newton 47 25
STEM 12 – Einstein 48 25
ABM 12 – Fayol 46 25
ABM 12 - Kotler 45 24
The questionnaire that has been modified to fit the problem statement was first used
by the researcher. The researchers seek the approval of the Principal and the Head of the
Senior High School in Kapayapaan Integrated School to conduct the survey in the school.
In order to correctly distribute the instruments, they had a meeting, talked about the study's
importance, and agreed on a plan of action. To allow the respondents enough time to think
about and reply to the survey's questions thoroughly, they were allotted 10-15 minutes to
complete the survey form. After collecting the 183 surveys, the researchers used Excel to
total the responses. The data was then analyzed using chi-square, frequency distribution,
and weighted mean.
Statistical Treatment
Weighted Mean. like an arithmetic mean, when some data points contribute more
to the final average than others rather than each data point contributing equally.
The correlation between the students’ social intelligence and academic performance
will be determine by using the Pearson correlation

(49) of the students representing Accountancy, Business, and Management (ABM) strand which
represented (26.78) of the total respondents followed by Science, Technology, Engineering, and
Mathematics (STEM) strand with fifty (50) students representing (27.32%) of the total
respondents, eighty-four (84) students are under Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS)
strand representing (45.90%) of the total respondents. This clearly indicates that majority of the
respondent’s falls under HUMSS academic strands than STEM and ABM strands.

Table 2.1depicts the entire response of the senior high school students in terms of
learning facilities. They are “moderately satisfied” in items 1, 2, 3 4, and 5 aspects. These are the
library that has a complete reference (2.41), the computers and internet are working properly
(2.60), students can access freely the internet for research purposes (2.27), the classroom are
clean, well-ventilated and conducive for learning (2.70), the supplies are available in the school
bookstore (2.47). The students are satisfied in having an access in the audio/visual room (2.52),
the audiovisual room equipment’s are in good condition (2.56), and the classroom arrangements
are well organized (2.68). with the overall weighted mean of 2.53 means they are overall
“satisfied”. According to Akomulafe & Adesau, (2016). It seems that the physical surroundings
of a school significantly contribute to inspiring children to learn. Any school system's physical
facilities include everything from the school plant, which includes the buildings, classrooms,
libraries, laboratories, restrooms, and learning materials, to other infrastructures that are likely to
inspire kids to learn. Experience has shown us that most of the physical infrastructure necessary
for children to study effectively and do well academically today doesn't seem to be there in our
public secondary schools. The ones that are available don't appear to be of standard quality, some
lack maintenance practices, and others are in poor shape. Learning centers are a common
traditional education models, may successfully support a greater range of audiences for
education and training. The variables that affect how e-facilities are used and utilized by students

restrooms and canteens are tidy and enough to accommodate the whole populations of the
students (2.68), and the appropriate security measures in school are properly implemented (2.83).
With the composite mean of 2.88 means they are overall “satisfied". According to Bassey 2022,
academic achievement of the children should be improved, according to school leaders. These
include keeping an eye on instructors' and students' actions to ensure that the learning
environment in the classroom is not only safe but also supportive, as well as making sure that
learning-supportive behaviors are rewarded. The interests of the pupils should come first at the

Table 2.3 depicts the average response of the senior high school students in their level of
satisfaction in terms of teacher’s credibility. They are all satisfied in terms of teacher's
credibility. These involves that he teacher has the expertise on the subject he/she teaches (3.07),
teachers always gives timely feedback on assignments either in a form of grade written
comments or verbal response (2.99), homework and assignments are relevant to what we are
doing in class (3.02),teacher uses different instructional materials in teaching( 3.07), teacher
teaches based on his/her field of specialization (3.11), teacher practices his/her profession
ethically (3.17), treats student's fairly (3.09), teachers are approachable, and I can talk to them
outside the class (3.15). With the composite mean of 3.08 mean they are satisfied. According to
Tanase (2020), Effective instruction requires a teacher who can be trusted. An effective teacher
demonstrates these qualities. Since they are in charge of the learning environment, trustworthy
teachers act morally when no one is looking. They do this with enthusiasm and engagement.
Building credibility takes time. Effective teaching requires credibility, which can take some time
Table 2.4 depicts the average response of the senior high school students in their level of
satisfaction in terms of the curriculum the student response as “satisfied” in the following
aspects: the subjects offered are aligned to their track (3.07),the teacher provides the course
guide of the subject (3.17), the teacher uses the community as a learning facility (3.07), the
teacher bring about effective learning process (3.04), the teacher designs project based on
learning situations for active learning (3.03), the teacher integrates learner nature and interest in
the subject matter (3.20), the school provides training based on their chosen track (3.07), and the
school exposes the students to the community through excursion at least once a year (2.95). With
regards to the overall satisfaction of students they respond as “satisfied” with an overall weighted
mean of 3.07. The fundamental requirements for providing high-quality modern instruction and
the necessity of modern pedagogy are their ongoing transformation, shaping, and adaptation to
contemporary living contexts, present-day demands, and the needs and abilities of students. (Jing
& Bin Abu, 2022). According to Tucker (2022), the foundation of a good school is its
curriculum. Changes to the curriculum frequently aim to respect national standards while
accommodating regional preferences. Even though very little is known about how curriculum
changes affect student performance, this conflict frequently motivates schools to invest in them.

Table 3 depicts the overall response of the students with regards to their personal
satisfaction, they respond as “satisfied” with the following: I am encourage to perform well in
their class by their teachers (2.98), I perform well in class because I really like my chosen
track/strand (3.06), I get higher grades in their subjects (3.04), there is a good relationship
between the teachers and students (3.09), I am competent that I have gained sufficient knowledge
in my preferred track that helps me to be equipped in my college study (3.14), I don’t feel any
regrets regarding my decision in choosing my academic track (3.13), I look forward to the next
class meeting (3.17), and I have plan of enrolling a course in college aligned with my chosen
track (3.28). The student’s overall response is “satisfied” based on their self-assessment of their
personal satisfaction with the overall weighted mean of 3.10. Mai (2015) investigated student
satisfaction in higher education and the factors that influence it. The most influential predictors
of student satisfaction were the overall impression of the school, overall impression of the
quality of education, teacher expertise and interest in their subject, the quality and accessibility

As support for this claim, Akomulafe & Adesau, (2016) stated that the physical
surroundings of a school significantly contribute to inspiring children to learn. Any school
system's physical facilities include everything from the school plant, which includes the
buildings, classrooms, libraries, laboratories, restrooms, and learning materials, to other
infrastructures that are likely affects kids to learn. However, Hanh Le et al., (2021), The
satisfaction of students is not significantly impacted by school facilities. It is understandable that
the majority of students demand a school with up-to-date amenities to accommodate their needs
for living and learning. All students demand that the school offer a wide variety of services and
facilities are provided in accordance with what was advertised prior to students' entry into this
school.

The result of study was similar to Butt and Rehman (2016), stated that varying degrees of
strength, school administration has a significant and positive impact on students' satisfaction in
higher education. Because teacher expertise has the greatest impact of all the variables,
policymakers and institutions must pay special attention to it.

Academic motivation, one of the most important components in student learning, is one
of several characteristics that are impacted by how students perceive teachers’ actions in the
classroom. Analysis of students’ perceptions of teacher behavior and its connections to academic
motivation are crucial because student motivation is a meaningful link between teacher behavior
and student learning. Thus, one of the most critical factors in the teaching-learning process is
how students view their teachers’ credibility. (Facundo et al., 2022).

IV. Discussion
This study was conducted to identify the level of satisfaction of Grade 12 students in their
academic track in terms of: Teacher’s credibility, learning facilities, school administration and
curriculum. After determining the degree of their satisfaction, researchers also determined the
relationship of their personal satisfaction on their strand towards teacher’s credibility, learning
facilities, school administration and curriculum.
To gather the data relevant to this study, a survey was conducted by the researchers. An
adapted questionnaire which was used to conduct the survey. The survey was conducted at
Kapayapaan Integrated School, Senior High School department during School year 2022-2023.
According to the profile of the respondents, 98.91% or 181 students were ages 15-
20 years old and 1.09% or 2 students were 20 years old and above who participated in the
survey. 55.19% were male while 44.81& were female. Lastly, the respondents of this study are
composed of 26.75% which are enrolled in ABM, 27.32% are from STEM, and 45.9% are from
HUMSS. The following dimensions were used to measure the degree of satisfaction among
senior high school students: First, the students are "satisfied" with their teacher's credibility,
which includes his or her subject-matter knowledge, with an overall weighted mean of 3.08.
According to Tanase (2020), Effective instruction requires a teacher who can be trusted. An
effective teacher demonstrates these qualities. Since they are in charge of the learning
environment, trustworthy teachers act morally when no one is looking. They do this with
enthusiasm and engagement. Building credibility takes time. Effective teaching requires
credibility, which can take some time to establish. An effective instructor is trustworthy,
knowledgeable, and compassionate. With regards to learning facilities the students are also
“moderately satisfied” with the overall weighted mean of 2.53. According to Akomulafe &
Adesau, (2016). It seems that the physical surroundings of a school significantly contribute to
inspiring children to learn. Any school system's physical facilities include everything from the
school plant, which includes the buildings, classrooms, libraries, laboratories, restrooms, and
learning materials, to other infrastructures that are likely to inspire kids to learn. Experience has
shown us that most of the physical infrastructure necessary for children to study effectively and
do well academically today doesn't seem to be there in our public secondary schools. The service
of the school administration that Kapayapaan Integrated School has offered was also denoted as
“satisfied” by the students with the overall weighted mean of 2.88. According to Bassey (2016),
the academic achievement of the children should be improved, according to school leaders.
These include keeping an eye on instructors' and students' actions to ensure that the learning
environment in the classroom is not only safe but also supportive, as well as making sure that
learning-supportive behaviors are rewarded. The interests of the
The study also reveals that with regards to learning facilities it gets the lowest weighted mean of
2.53, laboratories are very important especially for specialized and applied subjects like general
biology or general physics subjects, the institution should focus on. As a result, the decision of
the students to continue their desired course in college that is aligned to their track is somewhat
influenced by the degree of their satisfaction based on above-mentioned dimensions. References
are crucial for both teachers and students. The classroom also affects students' engagement, so
the school should always consider whether or not the environment is conducive to learning and
that the students are having fun while learning. Thus, researchers typically come to the
conclusion that it is very difficult to serve a large number of children with complex needs in the
absence of adequate facilities and resources. However, continuing learning intentions to take up
future learning are strongly and consistently related to current or recent experiences of learning
and student’s satisfaction. Lastly, based on the obtained and interpreted data from the
respondents, statistically and numerically there is a significant relationship between different
dimensions of satisfactions and the personal satisfaction of students on their academic strand.
Conclusion
1. Kapayapaan Integrated School senior high school students are overall satisfied in terms
of different dimensions; it was also revealed through the study that the senior high school
student’s overall satisfactions were based from their experiences inside the campus where
they are learning.
2. All this finding can help the authorities and policy makers for the improvement of the
quality in higher education, considering that such areas are vital for the student’s life. The
study indicates that there is a direct relationship between the degree of satisfaction of the
students as stated in the different dimensions.
3. Senior high school students are overall satisfied with their teacher’s expertise for it gets
the highest weighted mean (3.08) and the curriculum which the senior high school
students are currently taking, this study indicates that they are satisfied (3.07). Lastly,
when the students were asked if they experience personal satisfaction they also responded
“satisfied” (3.10). It depicts that student are encouraged to perform well inside the class,
they like and wanted to learn more of their chosen track and they are confident that they
have gained sufficient knowledge in their preferred track.
4. The researchers conclude that students can be highly satisfied in the abovementioned
dimensions if the school administration will focus on improving their quality and
continuously assess their service.
5. Study also shows that with regards to learning facilities it gets the lowest weighted mean
of 2.53, laboratories and complete references are very important especially for
specialized and applied subjects such as general biology or general physics subjects, the
institution should focus on adding facilities that help the students for exploratory and
experimentation subjects. References are important not just for the teachers but also for
the learners, so they could review or help them in understanding more of their lectures in
class. Classroom as well influences student’s engagement; the school should always
consider if the classroom is conducive for learning and the students are enjoying while
learning by doing regularly check-ups to their facilities.
6. Based on the obtained and interpreted data from the respondents, statistically and
numerically there is a significant relationship between different dimensions of
satisfactions and the personal satisfaction of students on their academic strand.
Recommendation
The results of this study must be viewed within the context of several limitations.
1. The analysis was based on self-report data, so depending on their personal concerns, the
students' responses may have overstated or understated their perceptions. Based on the
Likert item provided in the questions, some students might not be able to accurately rate
their own satisfaction.
2. The questionnaires are only intended to provide a more thorough evaluation of students'
levels of satisfaction across various dimensions. Future research should be carried out
using reliable metrics to find out how satisfied students are with various K–12 subjects.
3. Only one senior high school track, limited to a single institution, is served by the study
population. As a result, the findings might not apply to all facets of the K–12 curriculum.
4. Future studies may continue to examine the various variables that affect senior high
school track student satisfaction with a larger sample size and lower margin of error.
5. The researchers also urge further research into this study because, so few people think to
conduct this kind of study.
6. This study will be a great place to start if you want to think about looking into K–12
curricula and how it affects student satisfaction in the future.
