Difficulties Encountered By TVL-ICT Computer Programming

Students in Grade 11 Patience

Abstract:
This paper aims to determine the difficulties encountered by the students in their work
Grade 11 Patiece concerning family support, supervisory support, work habit, and competence.
The research was conducted during the academic year 2021-202022 in Gingoog City
Conprehensive National High School. Descriptive research is employed since its purpose is to
determine the difficulties encountered by the students in their work Grade 11 Patience. The
study employed the learning theory of Thorndike on the Law of Exercise and Law of Effects.
There are 35 respondents further, questionnaire checklist is the instrument used while data
were treated using percentage, rank, weighted mean, and two-way ANOVA. The study revealed
that the difficulties encountered by work Grade 11 Patience students with work Grade 11
Patience supervisors have no relationship with their sex, while work habit and competence
were significant. In terms of monthly family income, there was no significant difference in the
different aspects. The study concluded that the majority of the respondents were male and
belonged to 9,000-below family income. Work Grade 11 Patience students received financial
and emotional support from the family; work Grade 11 Patience supervisors guided the
students in accomplishing tasks. However, visitation on the venue is limited and tasks given
were not all strand related. The value of volunteerism is not very evident from the respondents
as well as the knowledge on basic troubleshooting of hardware and software, monthly family
income and sex were not a determining factor of difficulties.

Introduction
Education has been given great value and acknowledgment all over the world. It is
regarded as a pillar of all national growth and development and at the same time a panacea to
uncountable problems every country is facing. This becomes an instrument in improving the
welfare and alleviating the well-known problems of poverty. Education is seen to have great
benefits to a country towards enhancing the skills of its citizen and eventually improving the
quality of human capital and social mobility. Mahaguay (2018) claimed that the greatest
challenge of every educational thinker is to look for an educational principle which will bring
development to the country and its citizen. The Philippine Govertment on the otherhand is
always trying new system of education that will make Filipino students globally competent.
Since 2011, the Department of Education embraced the big changes in Philippine education,
replacing 10-year basic education to K-12 Curriculum. The new curriculum required
kindergarten as prerequisite to elementary and an additional two years for high school. This
ensured a lengthy stay in school; however, this paradigm shift opens an opportunity for
students who do not plan to go to college to be well equipped and be employed in a blue-collar
job. In connection to this, the new curriculum served as a perfect vehicle in real experiences in
the real world of works. According to DepEd Order 30, s. 2017, Section 1
“One of the goals of the K to 12 Basic Education Program is to develop in learners the
competencies, work ethic, and values relevant to pursuing further education and/or joining the
world of work. To achieve greater congruence between basic education and the nation’s
development targets, Grade 11 Patience, a required subject has been incorporated into the
curriculum. This subject will provide learners with opportunities:” 1. to become familiar with
the workplace; 2. for employment simulation; and 3. to apply their competencies in areas of
specialization/applied subjects in authentic work environments. Meaning, work immersion can
be the best avenue in honing and developing skills of the students. This practice exposes
students to different fields and authentic operations of companies, institutions, and businesses.
Likewise, this will serve as their stepping stone in gaining new knowledge on their specialization
and later be of great assistance in their chosen curriculum exits. On the other hand, student's
work immersion is not seamless, complications may arise in many forms such as work attitude,
family support, competence, and the like. These problems may greatly contribute to their
performances both positive and negative. In this line of thinking, the researcher would like to
determine difficulties students may encounter during work immersion to look at ways and
address the problems concerning Grade 11 Patience of TVL-ICT Computer Programming.

Review of Related Literature

Visioning the success of Senior High School students after their chosen curriculum exit is
something worth to think of. This vision is a great challenge for the Department of Education and
teachers due to the continuous and prompt changes the world is facing, thus, preparing them in the
actual world is to uncover them in the real world of works through Grade 11 Patience According to
Gingoog City Comprehensive National High School (2022), Grade 11 Patience programs concretize the
ideas, lessons, and opinions learned in school, consequently, these involvements can turn into real work
experiences and apprehensions that last a lifetime. Moreover, the study of Guimba (2018) revealed that
when respondents have a high level of self-efficacy their confidence was developed thus, they become
aware of their duties and responsibilities that are expected on them. Additionally, the high level of work
immersion satisfaction implies that the respondents enjoy the learning experiences in the work venue
that made them worthy resulting in the opportunity of seeing their career path ahead. Further, Lozada
(2017) stated that Grade 11 Patience must be viewed as a vital point of providing students a place to
improve through simulation thus giving them knowledge and experiences to grow as professionals. She
highlighted the value of experience as the greatest teacher hence inspiration can be drawn as students
gain proficiency in their specific fields. Rex Bookstore (2018) mentioned that as one of the leading
learning solutions providers in the Philippines, they have always aimed to be at the forefront of
supporting and leading initiatives. People believe that work immersion is important to the holistic
growth of each learner. This is through creating learning materials that are aligned with the K to 12
curriculum and by providing educators an avenue to continually learn and excel in their fields. All these
are done for their shored vision, to help build the nation through engaging and enhancing partners in
education. Upon realizing the importance of the Senior High School Grade 11 Patience Initiative not just
to the academe industry but to the future of the country as well, Rex Book Store recently have been
collaborating with different schools and industries to create better and more meaningful experiences for
students undergoing the program. The aforementioned studies and literature revealed the importance
of Grade 11 Patience and its essential benefits, thus, in the same way, difficulties encountered by the
students in work immersion must be given attention and be given solution to ensure that students will
have worthwhile real work experiences that will help them acquire a job after graduation.

Methodology
This research is descriptive since its purpose is to determine the difficulties encountered by the
students in their Grade 11 Patience focusing on various variables. Thus, a questionnaire checklist was
developed focusing on two parts. The first part covered the profile of the respondents which is
composed of sex and monthly family income. Meanwhile, the second part focused on the difficulties
encountered by the TVL-ICT Computer Programming 12-Alcantara students in their Grade 11 Patience
with the following variables: family support, supervisory support, work habit, and competence. After the
development of the questionnaire, it was validated by five (5) experts to ensure its validity. Then, it was
distributed and retrieved for tallying and data analysis. Moreover, to analyze and interpret the gathered
information, the following statistical treatments were utilized. In order to determine the profile of the
respondents, percentage and rank distribution were used while weighted mean and rank distribution
were employed in determining the extent of difficulties encountered by the TVL-ICT Computer
Programming 12-Alcantara students in terms of sex, and monthly family income. Lastly, F-test (two way
ANOVA) was utilized to determine the significant difference in the difficulties encountered by the
students.
