Self-Perception of ABM Students towards Their Academic, Social and Emotional College Preparedness

Abstract

This study assessed the self-perception of the selected Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) students on their academic, social and their emotional college preparedness. The students' demographic profile was also tested for significant difference in the three constructs of the college preparedness. Through a self-made questionnaire in a 4scale Likert style, data were gathered from the 255 randomly selected ABM students of one private higher education institution in Batangas Province in the Philippines. Self-perception showed a college-prepared student academically, socially and emotionally. However, there are various constructs of their academic and social-emotional preparedness that need further improvements. The statistical test of significance indicated that the various constructs of academic, social and emotional preparedness have no difference by age, type of school, family income and order of birth. A significant difference was shown in the respondents' sex and social preparedness but not on academic and emotional preparedness. Similarly, there was significant difference in the various constructs of academic, social and emotional preparedness in terms of the students' GWA in high school. For this, high schools should develop collaborative teaching and learning strategies focus on reading and writing. In addition, colleges and universities may provide pertinent course information through their websites to guide the students on the various details of their chosen undergraduate courses. Indeed, to prepare students for college alone is insufficient; a college-ready student should complete a degree with a life-ready perspectives.

Technology-Aided Instruction as Perceived by Indigenous Learners and Their Academic Performance: Bases for Implementing Enhanced Technology-Based Teaching Instruction

“…The findings of the previous studies [65,66,67] were parallel with the findings of the current study in highlighting the multifaceted relationship between monthly family income, technology-aided instruction, and academic outcomes. While the studies may not explicitly focus on income-related differences, they underscore the importance of equitable access to technology and the role of well-structured tools and resources provided by educational institutions.…”

Examining the Relationship between Parental Bonding and Academic Performance among Secondary School Students in Mbarara Municipality, Uganda

“…According to a study conducted by Smith et al, the bond between students and their teachers has a significant impact on their academic performance (Hallinan, 2008;Baker et al, 2008). The research demonstrated that students who felt a strong emotional connection with their teachers were more likely to engage in class, participate actively, and ultimately achieve higher academic grades (Austria-Cruz, 2019;Trueman & Hartley, 1996;Magnaye, 2020;Martin & Dowson, 2009;Crosnoe et al, 2;004) Furthermore, a meta-analysis by Johnson and Williams highlighted the importance of peer relationships in the academic success of secondary school students. The study revealed that positive peer interactions and a sense of belonging within the school community were associated with improved academic performance (Dagdag et al, 2019) In addition, the role of parental involvement in fostering strong bonding and its positive influence on students' academic achievement (Yunus et al, 2011;Bryan et al, 2012).…”

Factors Influencing Entrepreneurial Intention of the Senior High School Students

“…Thus, it is evident that the STEM strand, which focuses on adaptability, communication, interpersonal skills, troubleshooting, creativity, self-control, and clinical thinking, is the one that most students intend to start a business with. At the same time, ABM is known to prepare students for careers in the corporate sector by providing them with the skills and information required (Magnaye, 2020). Moreover, ADT/TVL allows students to gain the skills and knowledge they need to get the certifications necessary for work, leading them to enter the business.…”
