Work Immersion Performance of Grade 12 T
Work Immersion Performance of Grade 12 T
Abstract: The study intended to determine and analyze the work immersion performance of the
Grade 12 students in the district of Bani, Pangasinan. It described the profile of the students in
terms of age, sex, strand and work immersion venue and the degree of seriousness of the problems
they encountered, which affected their immersion performance. The study used the descriptive and
utilized a set of descriptive-survey questionnaire as data collection tool. Data gathered were
properly recorded, tallied, tabulated, interpreted and analyzed using frequency counts and
percentage and multivariate analysis of variance (MANOVA).
Most of the TVL students under the Home Economics strand were aged 18-19 and male
students were more in number than the female students. Majority of the TVL students had their
work immersion in private establishments. The overall weighted mean of the work immersion
performance of the Grade 12 TVL students was 4.02, corresponding to a verbal description of
“Very Satisfactory” performance. The degree of seriousness of the problems encountered by the
Grade 12 TVL students that affected their immersion performance was a little bit serious. There
was a significant difference in the level of work immersion performance across student strand and
type of work immersion while the level of work immersion across student age and sex had no
significant difference.
Based on the conclusions, the study recommended that school heads and teachers should
encourage more students to pursue other strands such as Agri-Fishery Arts, Industrial Arts and
Information Communications and Technology through initiating information campaigns and
strengthen career guidance programs; teachers should facilitate trainings and seminars for
students especially the TVL students in order to maximize their potentials and competencies; the
school should integrate leadership trainings not only for the student-officers but for all the
students in order to enhance their confidence and leadership capabilities; further studies about
work immersion performance of Grade may be conducted; and a training plan with a list proposed
measures and actions to be taken should be observed.
