Chapter I

THE PROBLEM AND LITERATURE

Background of the Study

Being an Alternative Learning System (ALS) student is difficult. There are working

students, single mothers, youth and adults who need basic and functional literacy skills,

knowledge and values who struggle to attend the classes regularly and to pass the activity on

time. Some students are still unable to attend classes because they don’t have enough time. In

order to know how much Alternative Learning System (ALS) students are committed to their

academic performance, this study aims to know the level of academic commitment of

Alternative Learning System Grade 11 students in Occidental Mindoro National High

School.

According to Presidential Office of Communication Operations (2020), the Philippine

Constitution of 1987 allows for the development and recognition of other alternatives to

formal education as a type of education. According to Article XIV, Section 2, sentence 1, the

State is required to create, develop, and maintain a comprehensive, adequate, and integrated

system of education that is pertinent to the requirements of the populace and society is

encouraged, as well Indigenous learning systems, non-formal education, and self-directed,

independent study

are all programs for extracurricular learning, especially those that address the needs of

the community.

Commitment is defined as a readiness to devote our time and energy to something we

believe in, or promise or solid choice to do something. Several factors have been considered.

Students at danger of dropping out of higher education due to factors such as poo schooling

and a lack of fluency in the medium of teaching, insufficient financial support, and

insufficient student support services (Stryndom, Basson, & Mentz, 2018).

According to Statistics Canada (2021), in Ontario, 27.75% of young people age 15 to

24 attended but did not complete high school in 2020. This figure has increased in the last

few years. Indeed, Statistics Canada reported that in 2005, 21% of young Ontarians did not

complete high school. As a response to this worrying trend, the Ontario Ministry of

Education (OME) implemented the System Alternative Education system (AES): a system

that uses out-of-school locations as substitute-learning settings for students who may not be

able to participate in regular classroom learning. This research discovered that a courses

targeted toward further education, a supportive classroom environment, and a relevant

academic program academic prospects, potential for future jobs, and teacher readiness, are as

being important factors in a student's high school graduation. It is advised that educational

boards

6
OCCIDENTAL MINDORO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
educate and support this group to ensure that they can graduate and be successful in their

pursuits of future work or education.

According to the study of Calabit (2022), there was no significant difference between

the ALS learning strand/subject and the subjects taken in higher education, and that the ALS

graduate was prepared to enter tertiary education. Those whose preparation will depend on

their stability, promises, and aims to constitute high perseverance as they face the changing

environment are more interested and eager to bind themselves entirely to achieving their

intended aims by expending effort and resources to fulfill their objectives.

Review of Related Studies and Literature

Academic Commitment

According to the study of Dr.T.Enok Joel and M.Jeevan Prakash (2019), in this study

the TiruppurDistrict of Tamil Nadu, India, served as the site of the current investigation. The

sample of 804 college students was chosen using the random sampling technique. Salomé

Human-Vogel and Piet Rabe (2015) developed the Academic Commitment Scale (ACS),

which was utilized in this investigation. Determining the academic commitment level of

college students and determining whether there is a discernible difference between the

academic commitment level of college students and the chosen sub samples. Gender

(female), place (rural/urban), kind of housing (hosteller/day scholar), and family structure

(nuclear / joint). Having a smartphone (Yes/No) was one of the study’s goals.The results of

this study indicate that college students have a high degree of academic commitment; no

significant

differences in academic commitment were found in any of the pairs, with the exception of

those between students from the colleges of engineering and education.

According to the study of Rosa M. Rodríguez-Izquierdo (2020), these methodologies

necessitate students’ commitment to their studies, which is not always present. There has

been little research done to date on the relationship between academic commitment (AC) and

service learning (SL). The study of Rodriguez -Izquierdoaims to validate the Utrecht Work

Engagement Scale for Students (UWES-S-9) and assess the impact of the SL-based

methodology on the AC of university students. It was conducted using a quasi-experimental

design with repeated pretest-post test measurements and a control group. 342 students make

up the sample: 168 experimental students who engage in SL activities and 174 control

students who have not engaged in SL. The UWES-S-9 is finished by both groups on the

pretest and posttest. The initial premise was that students would attain greater levels of AC in

their studies if they engaged in ApS practices. The findings confirm the existence of

significant variations in three of the AC’s constituent factors—vigor, devotion, and

absorption—all of which are in the experimental group’s favor. The conversation centers on

8

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
the possible benefits of the SL methodology for raising university students’ AC and opens

the door for reconsidering the usage of active teaching methodologies as a crucial component

of enhancing the caliber of instruction at universities.

According to Statistics Canada (2021), in Ontario, 27.75% of young people age 15 to

24 attended but did not complete high school in 2020. This figure has increased in the last

few years. Indeed, Statistics Canada reported that in 2005, 21% of young Ontarians did not

complete high school. As a response to this worrying trend, the Ontario Ministry of

Education (OME) implemented the System Alternative Education system (AES): a system

readiness, are as being important factors in a student’s high school graduation. It is advised

that educational boards educate and support this group to ensure that they can graduate and

be successful in their pursuits of future work or education.

fundamental .The ALS is an educational system (Mehra, 2021), system of education rooted

in the community. It includes the Education, Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) three

important programs (EST), skills training (EST), and BLP , or the Basic Literacy Program.

The main objective of A&E aims to award degrees that are comparable to either elementary

or secondary school grades, but BLP’s goal is its eradication a lack of literacy (Chavez,

2021).

When A&E has performed the necessary number of times, the A&E tests must be taken

by participants effective test participants are then awarded degrees that are equivalent, like a

junior or senior in post-secondary education collegiate levels. As an alternative, EST

provides literacy and the growth of their clients’ skills. Understanding some difficulties, the

thorough Alternative the challenges that the Alternative Learning System (ALS) program

must problems with reading comprehension are the primary focus of this research. This

research aims to examine these Alternative pupils’ difficulties and troubles with the learning

system. This study’s goal is to pinpoint the challenges the Alternative Learning System’s.

According to Presidential Office of Communication Operations (2020), the Philippine

Constitution of 1987 allows for the development and recognition of other alternatives to

Chapter II

METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the methods that have been used in this study to know the level

of academic commitment of Alternative Learning System Grade 11 students of Occidental

Mindoro National High School.

Research Design

In this study, the researchers will use heuristic approach to measure the sample size in

the population. Heuristic approach refers to the rule of the thumb for sample size. The early

established approach by Gay (1976) stated by Cristobal and Dela Cruz (2017).

Descriptive research design involves observing and collecting data on a given topic

without attempting to infer cause-and-effect relationships. The goal of descriptive research is

to provide a comprehensive and accurate picture of the population or phenomenon being

18
OCCIDENTAL MINDORO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
studied and to describe the relationships, patterns, and trends that exist within the data

( Shrutika Sirisilla, February 20, 2023).

The researchers choose descriptive research design to discover the level of academic

commitment of Alternative Learning System ( ALS) student. It will help to understand the

struggles and accomplishments of ALS student in their learning despite of their other

responsibilities in life. Descriptive research was the appropriate design to understand and

apply what you learn on this study.

Alternative Learning System Grade 11 school students is the target of the study. The

strategies use to survey ALS student about their commitment toward learning.

Locale of the study

This study was conducted at Occidental Mindoro National High School located at

Barangay Payompon, Occidental Mindoro with a total land area of 33,248 SQ. M. as per as

actual measurements on the ground.

Sampling and Participants

In this study, the researchers will use random sampling method to gather data that will

be use in this study. Random sampling, a subset of the population chosen at random is known

as a simple random sample. All individuals in the population have an identical probability of

being chosen using this sampling technique.

Because it just requires one random pick and minimal prior population knowledge, this

approach is the simplest of all the probability sampling techniques. Randomization ensures

that research conducted on this sample has high internal and external validity and decreased

risk of research biases such as selection and sampling bias ( Lauren Tomas, 2023).

Research Instrument

This study used questionnaires to survey the Alternative Learning System Students in

Occidental Mindoro National High School about the level of academic commitment. This

study adopted the questionnaire from the study of Baraka Manjale Ngussa (2019). The

20
OCCIDENTAL MINDORO NATIONAL HIGH SCHOOL
SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL DEPARTMENT
respondents answered these questions using the following 4-point likert scale 1-Small Extent,

2-Moderate Extent, 3-Great Extent and 4-Very Great Extent.

Data Analysis

Using statistical tools that will be obtained from the participants, Grade 11 ALS

Students at Occidental Mindoro National High School, the researchers examine the data. The

researchers’ objective is to gauge the degree of academic dedication among Grade 11 Senior

High School students enrolled in the Alternative Learning System.

Data Gathering Procedure

In the process of data collection, the researchers drafted a consent document for

approval by the principal of Occidental Mindoro National High

School, Marivel V. Aguda, EdD, DHum, and the Assistant Principal for Academics at

SHS, Emelita Q. Tiuzen. This approval was sought to conduct the data gathering. Utilizing a

simple random sampling technique, the researchers selected a total of 14 participants from

Occidental Mindoro National High School. Subsequently, the chosen participants were

presented with a consent letter, wherein their agreement to participate in the study was

sought. The researchers ensured transparency by providing comprehensive information about

the study, including ethical considerations such as maintaining anonymity and

confidentiality.
