Students' Phenotypic Prevalence and Learning Styles: Basis in Classifying Learners

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The researcher aims to quantify genetic physical traits or phenotypic traits among the grade 10 students of San Roque National High School. It describes the phenotypic prevalence and gene frequencies of the grade 10 students to identify their commonalities through phenotypic inventory analysis. Hence, suggesting possible recommendations for the development of career guidance program to the students' learning styles. The researcher pursued the study even if there are no existing studies indeed, the researcher set the foundation and basic assumptions in the application of genetics in the field of education.

METHODS

The respondents of this study were all the 80 grade 10 students of San Roque National High School. The researcher used the stratified random sampling in getting samples in the population then followed by the collection of data through survey. The phenotypic traits of the said students were carefully presented using the tables to show the frequency. After that, the students were interviewed to secure the reliability and validity ofthe said results.

RESULTS

The results showed that the assessed traits of the students manifested variations, thus, implying student's diversity in learning styles that requires different modes career guidance programs. Indeed, the NCAE results that was taken by the students can be checked also if it's really consistent in helping the students in their career choice. The phenotypic prevalence also showed that NCAE (National Career Assessment Examination) results were supported. Subsequently, the researcher presented basic assumptions that phenotypic traits can be used also in classifying learners and help them to choose the right track and strand in the Senior High School.

DISCUSSIONS

The researcher believed as well that this research will lead all the teacher to become more aware of the physical characteristics of the students that can probably affect their career choice. This research can help all the teachers in understanding all the types of learners in the class and what possible curriculum innovations can be done in addressing the learning needs of the secondary students.

This study serves as nucleus for future studies relevance to this research output. This research serves as reference in classifying learners in consonance to their phenotypic traits and learning styles.
