The Development of Work Immersion Preference Test

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Personal adaptivity, career adaptability and career indecisions are but some few challenges that Grade 11 students of Gov. Juanito Reyes Remulla Senior High School under General Academic Strands face today. Thus, the development of Work Immersion Preference Test would address this current issue. The prime purpose of the test development is for the Grade 11 students enrolled in General Academic strand to distinguish and align themselves to what is befitting for them to take as elective subjects as basis for their Work Immersion program and exposure. Also, this is the very recent study to address such dilemma of Grade 11 students on locale.

METHODS

The researcher employed exploratory design and development research to find out if the identified constructs of the test, Work Immersion Preference Test was successfully determined. There are fifty (50) respondents who were stratified and randomly selected for the study. The formulated test was used and validated accordingly.

RESULTS

Seemingly, the results of the study indicated an over-all Cronbach alpha of .844 which significantly indicated a high internal consistency. This can be noted that the Work Immersion Preference Test proved that there is an internal consistency among the test constructs.

DISCUSSIONS

The result of the study proves that the use of Work Immersion Preference Test can determine what work tasks either on Accounting Business and Management (ABM), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS) or Science Technology Engineering and Math strands, the student can excel. Notably however, the test constructs are at first phase of development and for the meantime it will be used for school-based application for more validation on the reliability of the test constructs.
