THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Background of the Study
Decision making requires a define choice between two or more alternatives
course of actions that are available. There are times in everyone’s lives where
decisions have to be made. It is one of the most important aspects in life and
work because of its strong link to success and effectiveness. Choosing a strand
is one of the most life-altering decisions that an individual can make, and
choosing the right strand is a stressful process for upcoming Senior High School
students. It can be a task, which needs decision to be made or a difficult situation
involving several issues for decision making. Making a decision implies that there
are alternatives choices to be considered, and in such a case we want not only to
identify as many of these alternatives as possible but to choose the one that best
fits with our goals, objectives, desired, values, and so on.For every student
choosing the best strand can be a difficult decision as well as thinking about their
future career. Some students know exactly which course to pursue while others
do not know. Career can be defined by the total pattern of one’s activities held
during a person’s lifetime. It can also be determine the individual personally
because it describes who the person is. Therefore, choosing an appropriate
career is very important for every individual as this help to determine their future.
The advent of information technology, the emergence of post industrial revolution
and job competition career choice turn out to be a complex science. Throughout
the journey, it is believed that students determine their career choices based on
several factors.There are several factors that may affect the decision of students
and parents, where it can be a good source of insight for private higher education
institutions to offer quality services that will suit to the needs, expectations and
demands of the community, with the curricular offerings of private colleges and
universities which are almost identical programs makes diversification very
difficult.
There are different factors that affect their chosen Strand in Senior High.
Respect for family is one of the most influential factors that affects the Senior
students for their career decisions.Family factor tend to be superior about
choosing a course for their children to continue the legacy of their family courses
or profession.
Economic factors include by means of choosing their strand.Their status in life
can affect the chosen course they want, some of the respondents will depend on
the economic status to get their professin . It may affect also themselves
because not everyone tend to choose what Strand they afford becaus there are
lots of option or choice of what they really want . But because of life status , It
plots on the Strand where they are belong .
Self- interest is getting what they really want, they will decide on their own
profession where the fassion brought them, this will affect their chosen STRAND
because some students are depending to what their parents want them to take. Students grew up with parents, some are superior with their gaurdians but mostly
the parents dictates what profession they will take.
peer Group is also considered on of the factors. Students are most likely
dependable of what society they have or the group they belong. It can be affect
their perception just to obey the rules and choose their group. Sometimes, they
seekthe right path but more regret occurs.

2.4 Interest
3. What career/track would the respondents wants to specialize and
pursue once they graduatedfrom Senior High School?
Scope and Limitation of the Study
This study will focus on the Factors that affects Students in strand
preference. The study will be limited to determining the Factors and knowledge
that results from practice and experience which sought with quality education.
Descriptive research Survey method will be used in this study. The
respondents will be the Selcted Grade 11 students. A total of 20 students will be
selected as respondents. The respondents will be selected using Purposive
Sampling method.
Significance of the Study

Theoretical framework
Gottfredson’s theory, occupational aspirations are a reflection
of one’s self-concept. People seek occupations that (a) arc congruent
with their self-image and (b) reflect their knowledge of different
occupations. This theory describes that students become attracted to
certain specialization. According to this theory,self-concept is the key
to specialization selection. Students tend to choose jobs that are
compatible with their personality.
The key determinants according to the theory are one’s
social class, level of intelligence and experiences with sex typing. In
the study of Siguan Jr., (1994) as cited in Sonsona (2012) self-
concept was also found significant on the choice of specialization of
students. Another is Holland’s theory of career choice suggested that
people can function and develop best and find jobs satisfaction in
work environments that are compatible with with their personalities.
People tend to choose a career that is reflective of their personality.
Holland (1994), suggest that the closer the match of personality to
job, the greater the satisfaction. Holland’s theory places emphasis on
the accuracy of self-knowledge and career information necessary for
career decision making (Zunker, 1994 p. 49) as cited in Abernathy
(2003).
