Attainment of Learning Outcomes Among Senior High School Students

Abstract

The study focused on the attainment of learning outcomes of the senior high school program of a private high school as assessed by grade 12 students. Specifically, it sought to determine: 1) the academic profile of the senior high school students in terms of strand 2) student- respondents’ assessments of the level of attainment of the learning outcomes of the senior high school programs; and 3) differences in the respondents' assessments of attainment level when grouped by their strands. Descriptive method was used involving 214 students from Grade 12 in different strands (STEM, HUMSS, ABM, and Tech-Voc) and identified with stratified random sampling technique. The participants rated the attainment of the learning outcomes for the four curriculum exits: Higher Education, Employment, Entrepreneurship and Middle Skills Development. All the four curriculum exits were rated moderately attained, with higher education having the highest average mean, followed in descending order by middle-skills development, employment, and entrepreneurship. The results significant differences when respondents were grouped according to strand indicating that student’s readiness is influenced by their curricular specialization. The study concludes that SHS program equips students with foundational competencies needed for their future endeavors. However, continuous interventions should be done to address the gap especially on entrepreneurship.
