Research problem background:

Choosing and deciding on something hav e consequences. The

results of what you have chosen can help you or it will hinder
you in the future . It is also the same with the strand that you
will have to decide. According to Dr. Amable R. Aguiluz V in
order to keep up with other countries in terms of knowledge
and competence in different fields, the Philippines has
adopted the K to 12 learning prog ram, which has been the
standard education system in other countries for quite some
time now. The said program aims to enhance the quality of
learning of students by adding 2 years on secondary
education level. The additional 2 years is called Senior High
School (SHS), in which students will be allowed to choose a
particular track that is related to the field or profession that
they wish to pursue in the future. Choosing a track is critical
for making a student highly proficient in the field where his
or her chosen track is related to, especially if the student
wishes to work immediately after graduating from SHS. As
most educators say, a mismatch in the track and the
student’s interests, personality and passion may lead to a
poorly knowledgeable graduate wh o will find it hard to
compete in the job market or keep up with other students
when he or she goes to college . Senior high is new to
Filipinos making it harder to choose the right strand. Decision
making in the teenage years is confusing esp ecially in
choosing the course that they are going to take in college.
Students still don’ t know what career they should take, that’s
why they are still conf used about the strand that they will
take in senior high because they should be consistent and
serious about it because they are going to engage with it to
the rest of their lives. In our class most of my classmates
will not continue computer programming in college. Which
means there are factors why they choose this strand even
they don’t want it. With their wrong de cision it may affect
their performance in college.
