Abstract
AbstractThe findings of the study revealed that the extent of implementation of senior high school work immersion program in selected public schools in the Division of Davao Schools was evident or fully implemented as a whole and according to the category of school, school location, and designation of the implementer. The findings also revealed that the most encountered challenges in the immersion implementation were limited partner industries, students working attitude, limited time tracking students progress, inadequate supervision time for immersion teachers, and not sustainable learners financial support. Furthermore, the major insights on effective immersion implementation were to tap additional partner institutions, increase immersion hours, weekly conference reporting of students progress, and enough supervision and monitoring time for immersion teachers and allocate immersion budget. Implementers have major responsibilities in establishing a process that turns policies into actions critical in carrying out the work immersion guidelines by providing proof of implementation evidence. Therefore, it implies that they are the key persons that ensure the delivery of the immersion program despite the challenges encountered. Likewise, they are also responsible for establishing the authenticity of documents that need further rigid onsite validation by the internal and external stakeholders in the school and division levels. In conclusion, the immersion program was implemented based on the document pieces of evidence. Practical Value of the Paper. The study contributes significantly to the limited literature on the extent of the work immersion implementation in public senior high schools. Additionally, the findings of the study provided baseline information to the school personnel in designing a proposed work immersion curriculum.
