III – 17 BSE Music Education

Background of the study

• Music is vital to the development of a human being. It is important to the development of the individual because music involvement is considered a fundamental expression of human behaviour. The need for education in music is indeed important. Music education is the dissemination of music knowledge, skills and appreciation. (Del Valle, 2011)


• With this in mind the Philippine Normal University has been offering the course Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSE) major in Music Education for a long period of time. Since then the course has produced numerous graduates who have been music teachers in the public and private schools.


• With all the requirements needed to be fulfilled by the students taking up the BSE Music Education curriculum and with the demands of music education in the Philippines, the quality education received by the graduates are a major thought.


• According to the Task Force on Higher Education (1995) the indicators of quality graduates are performance of graduates in board examinations, accredited status of courses and employability of graduates.


• According to Task Force on Higher Education under the Commission on Higher Education (1995) in its recommendation on its Comparability and Equivalency study, a study should be conducted that will identify the factors affecting quality of education and that schools must be encouraged to track their graduates after graduation in order to get accurate information on their employability and acceptability which is one of the three indicators of Quality of Higher education.


• A tracer study is an effective feed-back and follow-up tool to obtain continuous quality of the programs and curricular offerings of the university to align with the needs of the field and international standards of producing world-class music teachers.


• The need of a tracer study in the Music unit is necessary as four studies have only been found by the researchers. Thus this study is deemed necessary by the researchers.

Conceptual Framework

• The tracer study’s objective is to assess academic studies and their present profession in which tracer studies could be used to provide valuable evaluating results of education and may be used in the development of the institution in the context of quality assurance. (Schomburg, 2003)


• In order to do this we must be able to assess what is the quality of the graduates which in this case is the Batch 2000-2005. Since quality assurance is the goal of tracer study we must define what quality is. According to the Task Force in Higher Education (1995)


• In order to do this we must be able to assess what is the quality of the graduates which in this case is the Batch 2000-2005.


• According to the Task Force in Higher Education (1995), an organization supported by the Commission on Higher Education, there are three main indicators in of quality graduates are–performance of graduates in board

examination–accredited status of courses –employability of graduates.


• Out of these three indicators of quality, we could assess through tracer study is employability and LET Results.


• Employability is the ability to be able to obtain employment. The ability of the graduates to obtain employment after graduation indicates fast transition from the school to work.


• Employability is the ability to be able to obtain employment. According to the Graduate Tracer Study by (Arcelo, 2001) employability can be measured through – personal factors including age, sex, civil status and

parental education, – academic factors which in this case is Philippine

Normal University and BSE Music Education. – Employment factors which include the quality of work,

unemployment factors and school related factors.


• The researchers would like to focus on personal factors, the given academic factors and employment factors. Through this a baseline data would be made in order to obtain factors which could affect employability and on employment factors waiting period, starting pay, nature of job taken and relevance to the BSE Music education curriculum.


• The Licensure Examination for Teachers is created in the establishment of the act “Philippine Teachers Professionalization Act of 1995”. In the previous years the graduates of BSE Music Education have successfully passed the examinations.


• In order to assess if graduates have received quality education, we must know if they have – passed the let examination – examination rating and – what date they have took the examination.

Statement of the Purpose

• This study aims to trace the graduates of the Bachelor of Science in Music Education Batch 2000 – 2005 in terms of the indicators of quality education such as performance in the licensure examination for teachers (LET) and status of employment.


Specifically it aims to answer the following:1. To establish a baseline data on the following:

a. Personal Datab. Educational Backgroundc. Socio-Economic Background


2. To establish the performance of the graduates in the LET based on the following:a. Passed or not b. Date Takenc. Rating


3. To gather employment information about the graduates based on the following:a. Length of job seeking timeb. Current employmentc. Relation of job to area of specializationd. Starting pay

Significance of the Study

The Study is Significant to the following• Department of Humanities - Music Unit of the

Philippine Normal University– By having a record of the present employment

condition of the BSE Music Education graduates/alumni - used as a basis for improvement of the BSE Music Education curriculum


The Study is Significant to the following• Philippine Normal University – Knowing if it carries out its mission and vision

• Graduates themselves– in order to assess how music education has

improved the quality of their life as graduates and in turn know their stature in life


The Study is Significant to the following• Commission on Higher Education, local NGO’s

and other research organization– as an alumni survey on the quality of education in

the tertiary level and compare PNU at par with standards of other schools

• Society – in relation to the promotion of cultural heritage as

a Filipino people

Methodology

1. Research Design – Descriptive Survey Method

2. Random and Sampling Technique – Stratified Random Sampling

3. Instrumentation – pattern after the College of Arts and Social Sciences Tracer study questionnaire

Methodology

4. Procedure1. List of the graduates is then furnished from the

records section of the Philippine Normal University, the registrar’s office and the Humanities department through Dr. Anita Navarro.

2. Graduates are then contacted through phone calls, personal interviews, and use of modern technology such as e-mail, and social networking sites such as Facebook and Twitter.

Methodology

4. Procedure3. The questionnaire is forwarded to

them in which the graduate would desire the questionnaire to be accomplished.

4. The gathered questionnaires then are subject to data analysis.

Methodology

5. Statistical Treatment of Data– Descriptive Statistical Treatment• Frequencies and Percentages• measure of central tendency: mean and

mode
