Abstract:
The purpose of the study is to investigate the perception and propensities of Senior High School (SHS) students regarding the teaching profession. Convergent Mixed Method research design will be used in this study since the data will be collected at the same time through a consolidated survey instrument, analyzed separately, and then compared to have complete understanding of the research problem (Creswell & Creswell, 2018). The respondents of the study are SHS students of the National Teachers College. Stratified sampling was employed ensuring that all strands are well-represented. The consolidated survey instrument will collect the demographic profile of the respondents, RIASEC Career Pathway test, researcher-made test on propensities to perform the duties and responsibilities and the open-ended questions on their perception about teaching profession. Research instruments used in this study have sound psychometric properties. The data will be analyzed using descriptive statistics such as frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation to know the level of career pathway, and propensity to become a teacher. The impact of SHS strands and career pathway were gauged through Kruskal Wallis H test with epsilon square calculation for the effect size. Spearman Rank Order Correlation was used to know the significant relationship between career pathway and propensities to perform duties and responsibilities of teachers. Thematic analysis was employed to interpret the perception of respondents regarding the teaching profession.
