 ABSTRACT

This research was conceptualized to analyzed and assessed the performance of Grade 12

Senior High School students in regards on their work immersion. As these generation, the

Philippines are cope up with the newly implemented K - 12 which mold and build the practical

and professional skills of the students by immersing themselves to a workplace. Therefore, this

research study discussed the performance of Grade 12 Senior High School students along the 5

identified criteria in the evaluation form namely: (1)Quality and Quantity of Work which refers

to the thoroughness, accuracy, and neatness of workmanship and the ability to complete task

within alloted time and speed, (2)Dependability, Initiative and Resourcefulness which refers to

abilityto work with minimum supervision, (3)Attendance which refers to being regular and

punctual, (4)Collaboration and Personality which refers to ability to work harmoniously with

others and lastly (5)Job Intelligence and Judgement which refers to ability to comprehend the

given tasks and apply sound decisions or strategies.

The researchers aimed to know the performance of the students during their work immersion in

terms on their specialization which are the TVL - Food and Beverages Services, GAS-Tourism

Promotion Services and GAS-Philippine Politics and Governance.

This study used descriptive and comparative method. The researchers used the evaluation form

of the Grade 12 students as the instrument to conduct the research in gathering the data. From the

gathered data, the researchers concluded that the performance of the Grade 12 students were

excellent for they got a rating of 16% above. As based on the evaluation form with a maximum

rating of 20 in each criteria the Grade 12 students got a highest rating in Collaboration and

Personality which refers to positive attitude and the ability to work harmoniously with others. In

3
terms of by specialization the Philippine Politics and Governance students got the highest rating

among of the three specializations.

CHAPTER I

THE PROBLEM

Introduction

The Philippine educational system introduced the K-12 curriculum guide which

prerequisite all students to have one year of kindergarten, six years of elementary schooling, four

years of junior high school and two additional years of senior high school. Generally, its purpose

is to help Filipino students to be globally competitive citizens. In order for that to happen, work

immersion is an essential key feature of the said curriculum guide which should be accomplished

by students before graduation. As defined in the department of education (DepEd) Order no. 40,

series of 2015, it refers to the part of Senior High School (SHS) Curriculum consisting of 80 hrs

of hands-on experience or work simulation which students will undergo to expose them to the

actual work place setting and to improve the competencies provided by the school under the

supervision of the school head and the designated personnel of the partner.

Barcelona (2018) stated that it will able to help the students to familiarize themselves in

the actual workplace simulation and it also intends to apply the competencies of the student in

their particular areas. Furthermore, work immersion will give benefits to the senior high school

students of Universidad de Sta. Isabel Pili Campus in terms of having proficiency to enlighten

their mind in choosing their career in college.

4
 According to Mendoza (2017) it was stated that the work immersion will help to develop

among learners life, career skills and will prepare them to make decisions on postsecondary

education or employment gearing towards the four exits envisioned for SHS graduates to choose

from. In addition to the statement above, work immersion will serve as guide to senior high

school students to achieve and improve their professional skills and acquire more experiences

that they can use when it comes to college where they would also taking on-the-job training.

According to Ushers (2018) it is a program which aims to enhance the student to gain

relevant, practical and industrial skills under the guidance of industry connoisseur and workers.

It is also to understand the worth and use of the principles and propositions taught in school to

enrich technical knowledge and skills. Amend skills in communication, human interaction and

develop high quality work habits, behaviour and respect for work. Significantly, it is stated that

to build the self-confidence and professional skills of the students in a particular area, students

must be trained and supervise by industry specialist which work immersion offers to enhance

students communication skills.

According to Magno (n.d), work immersion is a solid matter in terms of enhancing the

learners skills and discipline not only for soft improvement but also for the betterment of his/her

future company that is because the student will be able to asses himself early inside the company

during the immersion period and will be use it. Notably, Magno does not only argues about what

will students get in the process of work immersion but also what will be his/her way to help their

future company achieve the success.

Consequently, work immersion program were observe and regulated by the Department

of Labour and Employment (DOLE) that allow the students to immerse them in a workplace

between 8:00 am until 5:00 pm everyday for a minimum of 80hours or a maximum of 240 hours

5
per term. It also includes that students below 15 years old below need to have parent consent and

shall be at the workplace for at most 4 hours a day.

Above all, it is stated that work immersion benefited the student to deepen their

knowledge about work ethics, safety in the workplace, the rights and the responsibility as an

employee. Furthermore, it also gives the student a chance to apply their learning skills and

competencies as a student. It aims to prepare the student to adopt the new environment so that

the students can prepare for their career paths in the future that they will choose. Moreover, as

being guided by industry specialist student will be familiarize the basic routines in their chosen

industry. It will prepare the students to do their best for the success of the company which he/she

belongs.

Therefore, the Senior High School Curriculum highlights actual work simulation of

Grade 12 student. The purpose of the work immersion is to apply the knowledge and strengthen

the skill of the student related on their particular track and specialization.

The Grade 12 students of Universidad de Sta. Isabel Pili Campus undergo to the actual

work setting and exposed them to enrich the competencies provided by the school. Senior high

school students are expected to complete the 80 hour work experience by applying their

knowledge and their competencies in areas of specialization and applied subjects in authentic

work environments.

Along such purpose, this study aims to find out if the grade 12 students of Universidad de

Sta. Isabel Pili Campus achieved all the criteria given by the school with the employer. It

assesses the satisfactory level of the employer to the performance of the student during their

6
work immersion. It aims to know how far the students enrich their competency in terms of work

simulation.

The result in this study provides recommendation to improve the competency of the

student in doing work immersion. Also, the output will be useful for the curriculum to develop

more plans to enhance the student ability and learning.

7

 CHAPTER II

This chapter comes out with related literature and studies that the other scholars talks

about Performance of Grade 12 Senior High School Work Immersion. This covers the essence

and function of Work Immersion to the Senior High School students of Universidad de Sta.

Isabel Pili Campus. The related literature, related studies, theoretical framework, conceptual

framework, and definition of terms are provided in this chapter.

Related Literature

Work-based learning continued, but changed very little until the Public Law 103-239

School-to-Work Opportunities Act of 1994 which encouraged the creation of learning

environments for students at work. A study of work-based employment programs found that

successful programs must have three components: a trained mentor who supervises the student, a

skilled student who is prepared to work, and educational training in soft skills necessary for

successful employment.

Wilson et al., (2010) argue that when students academically perform higher in the

immersion format, it may be due to developing a quicker and more established rapport with their

instructors which has demonstrated to increase academic performance. Tentatively, based on the

said findings, psychology departments may consider using more immersion courses to increase

the academic performance of the student. Therefore, it explains that this program will help to

improve the academic performance of the student in terms of effective way of communicating to

the instructor.

As stated by Ormrod (2006), the course objective is to promote students’ basic

knowledge and comprehension of course material and to have students think critically about

11
course material. Thus, it explains that the work simulation of students is not only about

enhancing their skills but it also covers to deepen more the knowledge and understanding of the

student affiliated to the scope of their specialization. Also, it enhances the critical thinking of a

student.

As Scribner (1998) stated when involved in work-based learning which necessitated more

higher-level technological skills, students generally found their work-based experiences to not

only be rich in opportunities to practice, but were providers of increased skills in problem-

solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills.

The study conducted by Scribner in 1998 found that 92 percent of apprentices and recent

graduates rated their work-based learning experience as excellent. Much enthusiasm stemmed

from opportunities to perform hands-on learning at work which was not possible in the school

setting. They also reported that these experiences strengthened their math skills and introduced

them to the latest technologies not available in the school setting. Students expected to be

required to use their writing and reading skills. They saw their work-based experiences as an

effective way to gain many of the skills needed to succeed in an ever increasing technological

workplace. They found their work-based learning provided opportunities to practice and acquire

problem-solving, critical thinking, and teamwork skills, as well as other soft skills such as

working as part of a team. Students perceived work-based learning as providing an increase in

their math skills and the introduction to the latest technologies not available in the school setting.

However, they reported very low opportunities to apply writing and reading skills at the

workplace.

Also from the same source, how students approach work-based learning profoundly

affects their perceptions. If their only intent is to earn money, their satisfaction with work-based

12
learning is much lower. If their intent is to learn skills which will benefit them in the future, their

success is far greater. When students could see the connection between vocational classes,

academic classes, and their work experiences, they quickly could see the transferability of such

skills to a number of future careers.

According to Lovejoy (1996), a balance is needed between learning the general

workplace and employability skills demanded by all employers today and into the future.

Lovejoy states the need for vocational-technical curriculums to address SCANS-like

competencies along with job-specific skills.

Shell and Kleen (1992) suggested that having a critical high education, seems that

immersion course may be an important modality of teaching. Consequently, it stated that the

main objective of the program is to focus on the form of teaching which is important to guide the

student in having a strong work ethics in doing the simulation.

Davies (2006) stated that the advantages of intensive formats [immersion] can be both

pedagogical and logistical. They can accrue to both student and instructor. They revolve around

increased motivation, commitment, and concentration, diversity of teaching methods, stimulation

and enthusiasm, stronger relations among students and flexibility. The researchers suggest that,

work immersion course may provide the benefit of increasing students’ academic performance.

This type of program infused with the traditional course may best enhance student

performance. The researchers want to emphasize that the importance of work immersion must be

seen as vital point of giving students a venue to improve them through experiencing the real stuff

on-hand. This is the very highlight of the senior high school program; it helps students to acquire

knowledge and experience that can help them grow as professional individuals.

13
Related Studies

Lopez (2018) stated that there are advantages of senior school work immersion program.

One of the advantages of work immersion is that this serves as the internship program of the

students who are soon will be stepping up in college. Internship program is considered to be one

of the most effective ways to enhance students’ skills in their chosen field of specialization. The

said learning experience that the students can get from it which can range from 80-320 hours will

surely enable and help students as they familiarize themselves with the workplace thus

experience workplace simulation and apply their competencies in areas of specialization.

Hence, the K- to-12 program has equipped the students with the values, knowledge and

skills that the industries need. Strong partnership with different industries would also enable

graduates to strike a balance between theory and practice. Also, work immersion program is the

idea presented by the Department of Education. It is a feature in the Senior High School

curriculum and refers to the part of that consists of 80 hours of hands-on experience or work

simulation which the Grades 11 and 12 students will undergo to expose them to the actual work

place setting and to enrich the competencies provided by the school under the supervision of the

School Head and the designated personnel of the partner. It mainly stated that the work

immersion program is effective in improving the learner's skills and enrich their competencies as

a Senior High School student.

According to Barcelona (2018) learning experience that the students can get from it will

surely enable and help students as they familiarize themselves with the workplace simulation and

apply their competencies in their particular areas. The completion of work immersion is a

prerequisite to graduation under the K-12 program.

14
 It aims to hone globally competitive citizens with specialized curriculum, gearing the

students for further studies, employment or entrepreneurship. Experience is considered to be one

of life’s greatest teachers. As trainees, it can be use as a motivation in gaining expertise in our

respective fields. This experience will surely help not only for our life as a student but also in our

future job as professional employees of the country.

15
Theoretical Framework

Discussed below are the theories that will be used as anchors and supports for the intent

of the study. Also, the set of theories presented will help the researchers to posit answers and to

increase the validity and reliability of the study.

FALL IMMERSION THEORY

The theory of immersion is to involve students as provide a base-line exposure to a set of

cross-cutting skills that will prepare students for the clinics, their practicum courses, and

eventual entry to practice. Attempting to do more would be misguided and unproductive. The

two-week period provides an intense focus on the sessions and skills. Although many skills of

litigation readily transfer to transactional and other practice settings, and vice versa, for

organization’s sake, the fall immersion is focused mostly on litigation skills and the spring on

transactional. The instructors need to remember that realism is a goal that is secondary to

education. It puts efforts to enhance the realistic feel of the work for the students to enhance their

education. Further, as a practical matter, complete realism would make the entire immersion two

weeks unmanageable and impossible to deliver. Students spend more energy litigating the cases

than financial considerations would warrant given the likely damage amounts; likely spend more

time critiquing students than their partners in practice might sometimes step in and guide

students toward a better educational path, as when some require claims to be abandoned and

certainly spend more time in group sessions discussing strategy than would likely be done in

practice. In all these ways and more, are being unrealistic for an educational purpose. So, when

someone might criticize what to do as unrealistic, be respond to seek realism until it harms the

educational goals.

16
 The theory exposes different skills, provide differing and sometimes overlapping ways.

The creative, engaging lectures, readings, demonstrations, and distribution of evaluation criteria

are all used to provide the base of theory.

METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents and discusses the research design, respondents or population of the

study, instrumentation and statistical treatment of data.

Research Design

This study will use descriptive and comparative method in conducting the research that

evaluate the performance of the Grade 12 student that undergoes to the work simulation process

as part of the requirement in the K-12 program. After getting the result of the overall

performance of the student, the ratings of every student will be group depending on their

specialized track.

As stated by Villanueva (2013), The Descriptive- comparative design considers two

variables and establishes a formal procedure to compare and conclude that one is better than the

other if significant difference exists.

The purpose of the researchers was to assess and compare the performance the 3

specialization that includes every GAS- Tourism Promotion Services, GAS- Philippine Politics

and Governance, TVL- Food and Beverages Services students. This will also identify who excel

the most in terms of completing the work immersion with high percentage of grade that will be

based from the student Evaluation Form.

Also, the researchers used the quantitative research as their research design of the study.

19
Quantitative research is a method which emphasize objective measurements and the statistical,

mathematical, or numerical analysis of data collected through polls, questionnaires, and surveys,

or by manipulating pre- existing statistical data using computational techniques.

20
Instrumentation

The instruments used for gathering data are the evaluation form that contains the

evaluation criteria that the student must attain to. The Evaluation form will be needed to identify

the students’ performance in the 3 specialization. This research will be having a rating scale to

easily identify how great or poor the performance of student in doing work immersion.

Rating Scale:

 Poor- 1-5 %

 Good- 6-10 %

 Very Good- 11-15 %

 Excellent- 16-20 %

The rating scale will help to easily identify the performance of Grade 12 student.

The evaluation form of every Grade 12 student is given by the school administration to

assess their performance during work immersion through the indicated criteria.

21
Population of the Study

The respondents of this study are the Grade 12 students of Universidad de Sta. Isabel Pili

Campus. The researchers will collect data from the 2 sections in Grade 12 wherein it is group by

3 specializations that includes GAS- Tourism, GAS- Political Science and TVL- food and

beverage students.

It includes 69 Grade 12 students of USI Pili wherein the TVL has 38 students from the

section of St. Raphael and 43 GAS students from St. Michael.

22
Statistical Treatment

The researchers will be using a weighted mean to calculate the average mean of the data of

the evaluation criteria and get the result of the performance of the Grade 12 Senior High School

students on their work immersion program.

Significantly, this method will help to assess and compare the result of the overall

performance percentage of every specialization.

The weighted mean is a type of mean that is calculated by multiplying the weight (or

probability) associated with a particular event or outcome with its associated quantitative

outcome and then summing all the products together.

It is a very useful when calculating a theoretically expected outcome where each outcome

shows a different probability of occurring, which is the key feature that distinguishes the

weighted mean from arithmetic mean.

Formula:

 Add up the numbers, divide by how many numbers:

𝑥+𝑥+𝑥+𝑥
Mean = 𝑦

After getting the result, the collected data will be using bar graph to indicate and illustrate the

result of the answer in the statement of the problem.
