Chapter I
INTRODUCTION

This chapter of the paper presents the problem and its setting. It includes the background
of the study, the statement of the problem, significance of the study, and scope and delimitation
of the study.

Background of the Study

The Grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) strand is a crucial stage in the
academic journey, marked by a diverse curriculum encompassing literature, philosophy, sociology,
and political science. This study aims to unravel the intricate dynamics of Grade 12 HUMSS, utilizing
a mixed-methods approach to delve into three key dimensions: academic proficiency, socio-
emotional well-being, and career aspirations.
Academic proficiency within the HUMSS strand is a multifaceted realm, encompassing not
only traditional measures of achievement but also the depth of understanding and critical thinking
cultivated in students. By employing quantitative assessments, such as standardized test scores and
GPA, alongside qualitative analysis of coursework, essays, and projects, this research seeks to
provide a comprehensive view of academic success within the HUMSS curriculum.
The socio-emotional well-being of Grade 12 HUMSS students is a critical aspect of their
overall development. Examining factors such as stress levels, self-esteem, and interpersonal
relationships, this study employs both surveys and interviews to capture the nuanced experiences
shaping students’ emotional landscapes. By blending quantitative data on mental health indicators
with qualitative insights into the lived experiences of HUMSS students, a holistic understanding of
their socio-emotional well-being emerges.
Career aspirations play a pivotal role in guiding students towards future endeavors. This
research incorporates both quantitative surveys gauging career preferences and

qualitative interviews exploring the motivations and aspirations of Grade 12 HUMSS students. By
integrating these methods, the study aims to uncover patterns, influences, and potential
correlations between academic choices and future career paths.

REVIEW OF THE LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter of the paper presents the review of related literature and studies.

Review of Related Literature

The study of Ariel G. Plaza, et. Al (2022) shows that based on subjective emotional
experiences students often turn to emotion-focused coping mechanisms as a way to manage stress
according to the studys findings. That said problem-focused approaches are still widely used
suggesting that addressing root causes of conflict is crucial to reducing stress. Furthermore the
study indicates that coping mechanisms differ according to gender implying that male and female
students use distinct tactics. These differences highlight the need for specialized interventions and
support networks that recognize and respect the variety of coping strategies used by students
ultimately promoting their resilience and overall wellbeing.

practices that promote SEL. This study aims to identify the findings regarding his SEL programs
implemented in Portuguese schools and the association of these programs with academic
performance. The criteria are: (a) All time frames. (b) publications in Portuguese or English; (c)
Socio-emotional competence development programs in Portuguese schools. (d) academic level,
including elementary, middle school, and high school; and € students in general education. We
found very few publications on SEL programs implemented in Portugal, but over the past decade
there has been a growing interest in this topic, mostly from academic research.

The ability of student, health and career. Education is a crucial aspect for the future
development of any nation, and the Philippines has recognized this by implementing a12- year pre
-university curriculum. This change is necessary to align with the global market demands, where
quality education is a requirement for success. Previously, the Philippine Educational system had a
10-year program, making it one of only three nations in the world with such a curriculum. However,
the system has now been modified to be more dynamic and suitable for the current education
landscape (Dizon et al., 2019). The new curriculum was introduced in response to national concerns
but it also

posed new challenges as it brought about significant changes in the country’s educational system.
Among the sectors affected are, teacher training institutes seem to be the most impacted because
the teachers they produce must be equipped to meet the demands of the K-12 curriculum (Saber,
2015). As such, It is crucial that teachers receive adequate preparation and professional
development training to ensure the seamless implementation f the new curriculum (Ednave et al.,
2018)

Review of Related Studies

Career goals

The study of Melodie Chamandy and Patrick Gaudreau showed a large indirect task-
oriented coping's impact on the associations between career doubt and both career advancement
and progress in the classroom. Despite the fact that career uncertainty was substantially and
favorably connected with disengagement-focused coping strategies for professional and
academic objectives, the resultant consequence of the coping strategy of disengagement was not
s

hown to be statistically significant. Overall, these findings provide clarity on the methods by which
college students work toward their objectives in an initial attempt to inform professionals with the
importance of coping to better get pupils ready in a professional field.

This research of Humira Mirza looked closely at three important areas: career choice
coping mechanisms and mindfulness. Living in the present moment is demonstrated by active
mindfulness learners who put their experiences ahead of their long-term career objectives. A
greater emphasis on professional development was also positively correlated with the skillful
application of constructive coping strategies like holding onto hope. According to these results
peoples assessments of their career paths are significantly impacted by mindfulness and useful
coping strategies.

Academic Ability

Emotional intelligence and academic Ability achievement in higher education.


According to Minnesota (2017) “the higher education performance is depends upon the academic
performance of graduate students. Durden and Ellis quoted Staffolani and Bratti, (2013) who
observed that “the measurement of students previous educational outcomes are the most important
indicators of students future achievement; this refers that the higher the previous appearance, the
better will the student’s academic performance in future endeavors be. Graetz (2012) conducted a
KASIGLAHAN VILLAGE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 10
Phase 1K2 Kasiglahan Village San Jose Rodriguez, Rizal
“Home of authentic and lifelong learning”

study on socio-economic status of the parents of students and concluded that the socio economic
background has a great impact on student’s academic performance. It has been main source of
educational imbalance among students and students’ academic success. Considine and Zappala
(2012) also having the same views as Graetz (2011). In their study on the influence of social and
economic disadvantage in thea ademic performance of school students noticed, they have
stated that parents or guardians who have social, educational and economic advantage definitely
strengthen the level of their child’s success in future.

According to Robinson (2017), mindset is defined as an emotional factor that signifies attitudes
about their flexibility of astuteness, talents, or capabilities to perform skills. Yeager and Dweck
(2012) also mentioned that mindsets are considered the fundamental suppositions individuals make
about their characteristics. Regarding the educational contexts, Mercer (2013) states that foreign
language mindset “reflects the extent to which a person believes that language learning ability is
dependent on some immutable, innate talent or is the result of controllable factors such as effort
and conscious hard work. Dweck (2017) highlighted the importance of learners’ mindsets, and she
claimed that mindsets form the consecutive accounts that happen in learners’ minds. She
maintained that mindsets influence learners’ understanding. She maintained that individuals’
mindsets differ according to their theories about the flexibility or stability of their traits. In other
words, one can interpret that his trait is dynamic or that it is stable, which she denotes this category
as growth mindset and fixed mindset

Socio-emotional health

School-based mental health programs for students with emotional disabilities: Educational and
social outcomes. Most schools offer some form of school mental health services to students, and
there is a growing body of rigorous research examining the impact on student outcomes, education,
and student mental health. We examined changes in achievement levels and social and emotional
functioning of emotionally disturbed youth (n = 148) receiving special education using a
convenience sample of four types of mental health programs. Long-term results found that while
these youth improved in their emotional or social functioning across all four programs,
improvements in achievement levels were less consistent. Results show that these youth functioned
better academically, socially, and emotionally in sample programs that provided intensive or

multiple services. Implications for school mental health services are discussed. Data on student
perceptions of teacher social support, academic achievement, and civic engagement were
collected from 796 seventh- and eighth-grade students using the Child and Adolescent Social
Support Scale (CASSS; Malecki, Demaray, & Elliott) collected from students. , 2000 ), Iowa Test of
Basic Skills (ITBS), and school records, Child Behavior Rating Scale, 2nd Edition, Adolescent Version
(BASC-2 SRP-A; Reynolds & Kamphaus, 2004 ). The purpose of the current study was to examine
whether there are gender differences in academic outcomes and sociodemographic
characteristics related to perceived frequency and importance of various types of teacher
support. Female students rated emotional support and evaluative support as more important than
males. Teacher emotional support was significantly associated with grade point average (GPA) for
both boys and girls. For the social variables, emotional support was significantly and negatively
related to school problems, internalizing problems, apathy/environment, and emotional.general
symptoms, and was positively associated with personal change for both boys and girls. In addition,
girls were more likely to receive emotional support from teachers than boys.

Mindfulness‐based interventions for improving academic achievement, behavior and


socio‐emotional functioning of primary and secondary students: A systematic review Brandy R
Maynard, Michael R Solis, Veronica L Miller Campbell Systematic Reviews 11 (1), 1-47, 2015 over
the past two decades, increased attention on improving academic outcomes of students to
compete in a global environment has led to significant changes in education policy, with greater
emphasis placed on academic versus other competencies (ie, social, emotional, behavioural). An
increased focus on improving academic rigor and the use of and emphasis on high stakes testing
have been two of the more significant factors affecting education, particularly in the US but also
in other countries (Gregor, 2005; Von Der Embse, Barterian, & Segool, 2013). Recent policy
initiatives in the US (eg, No Child Left Behind Act, 2001; Race to the Top, 2009) have emphasized
school accountability for educational programming and outcomes to facilitate students
developing academic proficiency. In short, present-day US education policy has narrowly focused
on ensuring high levels of academic achievement, a departure from a broader mission of schools
to support vocational education, physical and mental health,
KASIGLAHAN VILLAGE SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL 12
Phase 1K2 Kasiglahan Village San Jose Rodriguez, Rizal
“Home of authentic and lifelong learning”

all of which had been promoted in the past (Kataoka, Rowan, & Hoagwood, 2009). Despite
increased emphasis on academic rigor and high stakes testing, findings from the National
Assessment of Educational Progress (NAEP) continue to indicate poor performance for many
children in the US Indeed, the US continues to lag behind most Organization for Economic Co-
operation and Development (OECD) countries (National Center for Education Statistics, 2012; OECD,
2008), suggesting that existing educational programming is currently not meeting the needs of
many students. In addition to changes in education policy requiring an increased emphasis on
academic standards and accountability, schools are increasingly expected to attend to the social,
emotional, and behavioral needs and problems of students. Although schools have long functioned
as a context for improving youth developmental outcomes, the myriad issues that negatively
impact students’ social, emotional, and behavioral functioning in schools serve as the impetus to
revive schools’ focus on non-academic issues (Greenberg Domitrovich, & Bumbarger, 2001;
Schonert-Reichl & Lawlor, 2010). Moreover, a substantial body of evidence linking social,
emotional, and behavioral factors to learning and academic achievement continues to expand,
pointing to the critical need for schools to attend to these factors to enhance academic
achievement (Denham & Brown, 2010; Eisenberg et al., 2010). Evidence suggests that students
today are experiencing high levels of stress as well as other emotional and developmental
challenges that may impede their ability to learn and succeed in school (APA, 2009; Merikangas et
al., 2010; Pope, 2010). Approximately 13%-20% of children in the US experience at least one
mental disorder, and these rates have been on the rise since 2005 (Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention, 2013). The increased prevalence of stress and anxiety, and at earlier ages than prior
generations, has been at least partially attributed to school-related stress—particularly, high
stakes testing, increased academic pressure, and the overscheduling of students in multiple
extracurricular activities (APA, 2009; Gregor, 2005; Pope, 2010; Suldo, Shaunessy, Thalji,
Michalowski, & Shaffer, 2009). Indeed, students report school-related stress as being their greatest
source of stress (APA, 2009), and teachers rate behaviors associated with anxiety as some of the
most.

METHODOLOGY

This chapter includes the research design, the sample, the instruments, the data collection
procedure, and the plan for data analysis.

Research Design
Research design is a detailed strategy on how the research questions will be answered. It
describes how the samples will be selected, the process of collecting the data, and the analysis of
the data.
The Grade 12 Humanities and social sciences strand of Kasiglahan Village Senior High
School is the chosen population of this study. Stratified random sampling method will be used in
order to get the most accurate result as they give every student in every section in Humanities and
social sciences strand (HUMSS) an equal chance of being selected for the study it also help to
avoid bias and ensures that the study results accurately reflect the characteristics and opinions of
the broader population. The total of 50students from grade 12 Humanities and Social Sciences
strand will participate in the survey that we will be conducting. 9 student from section A, 10
students for section B, 9 for section C, 12 for section D, and 11 for section E. this is calculated
through the use of Neyman allocation formula (nh = n×Nh/N).
The data collection procedure section plays a critical role in ensuring the validity and
reliability of the study findings. It serves as the foundation for the research, providing a structured
framework for gathering precise information.
Random sampling techniques will be used in selecting sample, this is for the accuracy and
correctness of the data as it gives everyone equal chance without bias. It is the best technique as
it reflect best the population. Each of the sample will receive a survey questionnaire for them to
answer. The gathering of the data will be done only on the school premises at the respondent’s
free time. All of the data is recorded in the survey questionnaire that we disseminate, this means
that every questionnaire will be collected back once they are done for the analysis process to be
done by the researcher.

“Home of authentic and lifelong learning”

The main point of analyzing the data is to look at the information we gathered and see if it
can help us answer the questions we had at the beginning of the study or check if the guesses we
made (hypotheses) were right. It also helps researchers make sure their findings are solid. When
they really dig into the data, they can see if their results are strong and trustworthy, which makes
other people more likely to believe what they found.

The data from the survey questionnaire will be analyzed by organizing them using tables
and charts, every question has its own graphic organizer for easier access. The researcher
describes and analyzes the findings after transforming the data into a graphic organizer. All of
the findings will be summarized when the analysis is done.
