Abstract

© 2017, Department of Science and Technology. All rights reserved. The implementation of the additional two years in the Philippine high school system began in the school year 2016-2017 as part of the K to 12 program of the Department of Education. The two years of senior high school is envisioned to provide ample time to acquire sufficient knowledge and mastery of skills that will prepare students for higher education and future employment. As part of the program, students are set to choose one career track from ten academic strands. With several factors to consider, it may be difficult for a student to select a career path. This study aims to create a tool that will guide students in choosing a particular career track using social cognitive career theory (SCCT) and analytic hierarchy process (AHP). SCCT was used to identify the factors to be considered in career decision making, whereas AHP was used to rank the tracks according to these factors. Pilot testing was done to more than 150 Grade 10 students to evaluate the tool.
