WORK

IMMERSION
LESSON 1:

UNDERSTANDING WORK-IMMERSION
WHAT DO WE MEAN BY WORK IMMERSION?

The word “immersion” as it applies to the K to 12


curriculum is defined in the Department of Education
(DepEd) Order No. 40, series of 2015: “Work Immersion
refers to the part of the Senior High School (SHS)
Curriculum consisting 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 workplace
setting and to enrich the competencies provided by the
school under the supervision of the School Head and the
designated personnel of the Partner.”
Immersion is done outside the school
campus in a “Workplace Immersion Venue,”
defined as “the place where work immersion of
students is done. Examples of work immersion
venues include offices, factories, shops and project
sites.” What could lead to confusion is that the
word “immersion” actually has two meanings in K
to 12. The first meaning refers to a required SHS
subject in the curriculum. The second meaning
refers not to a subject but to a preferred mode of
delivery of Tech-Voc subjects.
EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR

Every worker should possess


good behavior in their
workplace to maintain the
balance and harmonious work
environment.
A. Work Ethics

By definition, Work ethic is a belief that


work, hard work and diligence has a moral
benefit and an inherent ability, virtue or value
to strengthen character. It is about prioritizing
work and putting it in the center of life. Social
engrailment of this value is considered to
enhance character through hard work that is
respective to an individual’s field of work.
A strong work ethic is vital for achieving
goals. A work ethic is a set of moral principles a
person uses in their job. People who possess a
strong work ethic embody certain principles that
guide their work behavior, leading them to produce
high-quality work consistently and the output feeds
the individual to stay on track. A good work ethic
fuels an individual’s needs and goals, it is related to
the initiative by a person for the objectives. It is
considered as a source of self-respect, satisfaction,
and fulfillment.
However, a negative work ethic is
a behavior of a single individual or a
group that has led to a systematic
lack of productivity, reliability,
accountability and a growing sphere
of unprofessional / unhealthy
relationships (e.g., power politics,
lack of social skills, etc.)
B. Here are some factors of a good
work ethics:

●Goal-oriented actions: it is not about


making plans or the next logical steps;
it's about getting things done so that
the work invested wouldn't be counter-
productive.
● Dedicate on priority: focusing on
qualitative activities that a person is
capable and where they can make a
difference or a high impact based on
objectives.

● Being available and reliable:


spending time on the work and building
oneself up for the task.
●Conscientiousness: a desire
to do a task well, being
vigilant and organized.
● Creating a rewarding routine/system:
Engaging in tasks that provide strength and
energy which can be transferred to your
ultimate goals, creating a habit and a habitat
for success.

● Embracing positivism: shape a problem


with the statement "good, (action)
(problem)", e.g. "I'm tired and it is time for a
workout" leads to "Good. Workout tired".
3. CAPITALIST VIEW

Steven Malanga refers to "what was


once understood as the work ethic—not
just hard work but also a set of
accompanying virtues, whose crucial role
in the development and sustaining of
free markets too few now recall”.
Max Weber notes that this is not a
philosophy of mere greed, but a statement
laden with moral language. It is in effect an
ethical response to the natural desire for
hedonic reward, a statement of the value of
delayed gratification to achieve self-
actualization. Franklin claims that Bible
readings revealed to him the usefulness of
virtue. Indeed, this reflects the then Christian
search for ethic for living and the struggle to
make a living.
4. ANTI-CAPITALIST VIEW

The industrial engineer Frederick Winslow Taylor


(1856-1915) revised the notion of work ethic as a means of
management control that delude workers about the actual
reality for accumulated advantage, which is a form of
avarice. Marxists, and some non-Marxist sociologists do not
regard "work ethic" as a useful sociological concept. They
argue that having a "work ethic" in excess of management's
control doesn't appear rational in any mature industry where
the employee can't rationally hope to become more than a
manager whose fate still depends on the owner's decisions.
NOTE: Since work ethics deals
with a code of conduct, or a set
of principles that is acceptable
in the work place, we need to
look at what some of those
principles are.
A list of work ethics for an employer or a
company might be:
● To provide a safe work environment for its
staff and employees,
● To treat employees with dignity and
respect,
● To provide a fair wage for the services
rendered,
● To handle all business transactions with
integrity and honesty.
A list of work ethics for the employee
might include:
○ To show up on time.
○ To tend to company business for the
whole time while at work.
○ To treat the company’s resources,
equipment, and products with care,
○ To give respect to the company. That
means honesty and integrity.
