Introduction

One of the most important decisions made in life by a

student is choosing a profession. There are many things that

need to be pondered; it includes personal interest, self-

concept, values, and global demands. Some external factors are

need to be consider like the schools, community or the place

where he/she lives, and also the influence from parents and

friends.

Some choice of the student is restricted, since usually,

they are only familiar with the few of the hundreds occupation

in this modern world. In the society today, skilled workers are

paid higher than the white collared jobs in the society. In

consequence, an occupational choice is often made on a

constricted and unconscious basis rather than on a established

consideration of all relevant facts which are necessary for a

truly free and satisfying choice of occupation and the choice of

a career for a student is now being manipulated by different

outside factors rather than his/her own personal decision.

Career preferences is a decision making in a confusing

situation which occurs during senior year of high school level

and even those students who is disoriented in his course, he/she

have been taken that will result in decreasing eagerness on that

particular field. Some students decide to transfer in another

school or to shift another course that really fits on his/her

own interest.

Choosing a career isn't easy however, but with an

understanding of your work-related desires and skills, you can

make a career choice that's as close to your dream job as it's

possible to get.

The college of education is a 4-year course offered by

Education profession is not easily recognized. This is the

noblest profession. Teachers are dedicated to the well-being of

the student and communities they serve, taking into account

their cultural diversity, group aspiration, and what is valued

in education. The influence of the teacher on the student and on

other people with whom they work and live depends a great deal

on the philosophy as a person and as a teacher.

As a profession, education is in need of major

transformation. Some of the transformation is in employment

conditions, including pay rates and greater opportunities for

working. Other parts of the transformation need to be in every

nature of the jobcreating a richer working environment (teacher

safety, student engagement, school physical environments,

greater professional responsibility, and more holistic

relationships with learners, more complex and rewarding

relationships with communities).

Education students with different demographic

characteristics need to think about which ones matter most to

them and tailor their investigation accordingly. Such

demographic characteristics may include age, gender, ethnicity,

citizenship, socioeconomic status, marital status, and

enrollment status. Regardless of their backgrounds, all students

should initially make a list of variables that factor into

selecting a graduate school, and then decide how important each

variable is to them (Olson and King, 1995).

The aim of this study is, to know how the students choose

their course. Do they have basis? Did they consider the demand

of the profession, the roles and the functions, the profession

itself?

Theoretical Framework

The giving of meaning to a stimulus received by the sense

organ is called perception. It is the ability to see, hear or

become aware of something through the senses.

A group of theorist, the Empiricist someone who believes

that ideas should be based on our real experience or scientific

experiment rather than on theory and said that learning of more

important than innate characteristics in the development of

perception.

Culture and society influence our perception, both directly

and indirectly because culture and society influence our

personal needs and motives. Directly because social customs and

cultural, determine largely how we perceive certain objects and

events.

Gestalt theory maintains that perception is a unified

experience which cannot be understood by breaking it down into

parts. Gestalt psychologist stipulates that perceptions are the

products of complex interactions among various stimuli.

Suggestion can strongly influence perception. There are

suggestions that one can give to oneself and suggestions that

are given by others. Suggestion can be preconceived ideas that

can alter the interpretation of sense impressions.

According to Bunlor explanations on Perception, human being

try to make accurate judgments of other people, but this is very

difficult because of obstacles in perception.

The first of these obstacles is the fact that people are

perceive beyond their physical characteristics. We tend to

understand people from a psychological point of view. When we

perceive people, we try to combine stimulations received from

the environment with preciously established ideas already stored

in the brain. The viewer tries to be creative in this perception

becomes erroneous.

Another obstacle in the perception of people is the first

fact that the qualities being perceived change as the perceivers

move about in space. To obtain object constancy, the perceivers

must make many generalizations based on different perceptual

experiences. The problem in our perception of people increase

because the individual perceiver does not only more about the

also becomes emotional, changes physically and acquires new

ideas and interest in himself.

Review of related Literature

This chapter is a review of available literature and studies

from foreign to local which may directly or indirectly bearing

to study at hand. Relevance to present studies.

Related Literature

Relationships between parenting and children's school readiness

were examined within socioeconomically comparable samples of

African American and Euro-American kindergarten children,

mothers, and teachers. The moderating role of family income and

ethnicity for the relationships between parenting behaviors,

parental expectations, and school involvement and children's

early school performance were also examined. (PsycINFO Database

According to Howard and Ill, stressed out that whenever students

are in their high school experience, they are the center of

learning. In a traditional high school the center of the system

is the content or subject-centered high school to student

centered high school learning interests and aptitudes around

career paths. It provides a structure for students to reference

their learning and comment each year of their high school

experience. It allows students to plan and practice their skills

while creating a smooth successful transition. According to John

Holland, individuals are attracted to a given career by their

particular personalities and numerous variables that constitute

their backgrounds. First of all, career choice is an expression

of, or an extension of personality into the world of work

followed by subsequent identification with specific occupational

stereotypes. Accordingly, one chooses a career to satisfy

preferred modal personal orientation. Modal orientation is a

developmental process established through heredity and the

individuals life history of reacting to environmental demands.

If the individual has developed a strong dominant orientation,

satisfaction is probable in a corresponding occupational

environment. If, however the orientation is one of indecision

the livelihood of satisfaction diminishes.

(Bataller 2010) Career planning is life goal setting without

such a plan; it is like making a journey to an unfamiliar

destination without map. A Career Planning Guide that will help

the students choosing their appropriate course from planning a

career, steps in goal setting and self-understanding. It reveals

that guidance and counseling is intervention of underemployment

individuals and career preparedness must be initiated.

Zastrow (2007) identified competencies as being essential for

successfully performing the responsibilities of entry-level.

The term competence is particularly a useful description for

professional practice, because it does not only include the

expertise to perform a function but also suggests competence

include skill and knowledge, art and science, as well as talent

and information, but he or she must be able to use the knowledge

to effectively assist clients in changing by bringing about

change in the functioning of some part of the environment. As a

profession with a mission to facilitate change in both people

and environment, a wide range of competence is required.

Many writers tried to explain why Filipino students prefer white

collar or degree courses. One reason why are young people today

simply drift into jobs without even having made explicit choices

between alternative occupations is that they do not have

sufficient information about the range of alternative

opportunities to make deliberate rational choices in their

careers preference of Filipinos, white-collar jobs and dislike

for blue-collar jobs can be traced to the irrelevance of the

type of education given.

According to ( Corpuz, 2007) although the professionalization

law can help promote professionalism, professionalism is, in the


19/19

ultimate analysis, the choice, the decision, and the action of

every professional teacher.

Study of Wilburn and Smith (2005) revealed that loe self-esteem

and stress were significantly related to suicidal ideation in

college students. How recently a student experienced a stressful

event also proved to be asignificant factor; students who had

recently experienced a stressful event reported signifcantly

lower self-esteem than did students who had experienced a

stressful event in a few months before the study. In a

longitudal study, it found that students with higher self-esteem

weere better adjusted to college that were students with lower

self-esteem afetr a year follow-up.( hayman,et al,2007)

According to "Encyclopedia of Careers and Vocational Guidance,

14th Edition," a career may be thought of as a path. In this

case, a series of jobs can make up the path leading to a

position that you love. Due to personal growth or trends in the

economy, you may change paths during your employment years. When

you try to choose a career after graduation, however, self-

assessment helps you decide which paths hold the strongest

appeal
