THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

In today’s curriculum the Department of Education (DEPED) release a

law that talks about adding another 2 years for high school which what we

called the Senior High School. In every school that offers senior high school

they also offered strands that suits to the NCAE result of a student. The

Department of education gives 4 academic track that the student choices. The

development, operations, and financial management in the Accountancy,

Business, and Management (ABM) strand. Students who choose this track

may pursue college degrees. The basics of medical, engineering, and applied

industrial technology courses in the Science, Technology, Engineering, and

Mathematics (STEM) strand. Students who choose this track may pursue

college degrees in Information Technology, Computer Science, Engineering,

Medicine, Industrial Technology, and Science and Math Education. The

fundamental knowledge and skills to pursue a career in people-oriented fields

in the Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) strand. Students who choose

this track may pursue college degrees in Education, Communication Arts,

Psychology, and Sociology-Anthropology. And the last one is Develop

knowledge and skills that will prepare you for your next step in college or in life

with the General Academic Strand. Learn effective communication skills, and

gain knowledge and skills in preparing, conducting, and organizing interactive

symposia, interviews, research, surveys, and recreational events about the

present condition of the country using multimedia as one of the modes for

learning. Students will be ready to pursue any college course they chose to

pursue. In general academic strands tackled the same subjects that offer in

other strand. This strand also the hardest strand among the four strands. The

General Academic Strand students those are the student who still undecided
to choosing their career. The most useful thing when you take the GAS strand

when you finished on this strand you can proceed to any college program but

you may take those subject that you didn’t take when you are in senior high

school, but required particular college as a bridging to assess his/her

preparedness in the field of a study chosen. Student taking up GAS get to

experience what each specialized strand has to offer so this is best suited for

students who are still undecided on which strand to take.

Background of the Study

This research is conducted because there’s a lot of general academic

strands students are still confused in choosing courses in college. Some of the

student who enrolled in general academic strands is those students who still

undecided in what course that they want. We conduct this research because

we want to know how the courses in college can help those Senior High

School students to choose the suit course in their strand especially those

general academic strands students at Kasiglahan Village Senior High School.

Commonly those students that still undecided in choosing their career is that

student taking the course but they didn’t want, they take this because of their

parents. We conduct it also because we want to know more about general

academic strand and the possible bridging courses in college. Since the GAS

strand does not a cater to a specific career you might be option what courses

you may take in college. The benefits on taking gas strand more opportunities

that you can get and open up for you.

Also the researchers conduct this study because some of the alumni

student of general academic strands students are bridging to other courses

that in the other strands belong. We want to know what are their basis in

choosing this course and bridging to other strands. In conducting this research

the researchers need to sure that the grade 12 students at Kasiglahan Village
Senior High school that taking General Academic Strands is sure that they

want to continue their chosen career, and also the researchers need to know

their possible explanation on what are their reason on bridging courses to

other strand because there’s a lot of alumni student at Kasiglahan Village

Senior High School are bridging courses in college , like they bridging in

Engineering , that offer in stem strand , also psychology that offer in HUMSS

strand and this is one of our basis in conducting this research.

Scope and Limitation of the Study

This study will be conduct in Grade 12 General Academic Strand

students, during this school year 2019-2020. The study will focus only on the

students on how they aware of choosing courses in college. The study will

also know and determine how many General Academic Strand students are

aware in their choosing career or making courses, and the student are didn’t

have any idea and didn’t aware in their college courses.

The study will involve the survey form for the G12 General Academic Strand

students to know if they are aware or not which will help the researchers in

gathering information.
