CHAPTER I

The Problem and its Background

This chapter presents the background of the study, the statement of the

problem, scope and delimitation, significance of the study, the conceptual framework and

Introduction

ABM or Accountancy Business Management is one of the strands offered in the

Senior High school Academic track. It aims to provide every student with the skills to

acquire Accountancy, Management and other business-related college courses. It has also

the huge number of enrollees.

When K to 12 was implemented more students chose ABM strand among General

Academic Strand (GAS), Humanities and Social Sciences (HUMSS), Science,

Technology, Engineering and Mathematics strand (STEM) and Technical, Vocational

Livelihood strand(TVL). It is probably because their passion is into accounting, banking

and finance, business management, marketing and the likes.

Some students say that ABM is a hard type of strand because it composed of

mathematics. Although it requires only basic mathematical operations, what makes it

difficult is the use of analytical and logical thinking. But not all time, because some of

the students is good on analyzing and have full strategies to face the entire problem.
 Students must need to study more especially when they are in senior high school

level. This will help them to become a successful person someday. And they can only

achieve this if they have enough knowledge for them to understand things that is

happening around them. Students can gain knowledge when they stay here in Arellano

University, because most of the successful people are graduated here in Arellano

University. They experienced lots of things that help them to become a person they are

 CHAPTER II

Reviews of Related Literature and Studies

This chapter presents the people who are able to define the importance of ABM

strand in different ways. It comes from foreign or local.

Review of Related Literature

According to Jodi Chavez, president of Ranstand professionals, Job opportunities

in finance and accounting have increased with the growing economy making it a must in

demand career in the year 2017. For instance Chye Kon (1996) examined how

entrepreneurial inclination affects psychological characteristics. The results showed that

ABM students who exhibited entrepreneurial inclination have higher levels of

innovativeness. Additionally, it also revealed that students display higher need for

achievement locus of control and self- confidence. In the study of Asanami and Mensah

(2013) students leadership attributes task performance, achievement attitude and level of

risk-taking had a positive students.

“A satisfying lifestyle depends greatly on a satisfying career. For that reason, you’ve

probably decided not to be among the 50% who “fall” into a career decision-making

process to choose a career that’s right for you. In doing this, you’ll take a big step toward

controlling your own lifestyle.” Kimbrell, G. & Vineyard B. S. (n.d.) Bannet &

McKnight Division (G. & B.S, n.d)

 Get to know yourself a little better before you start choosing or exploring our careers.

You should have a good understanding of your own value, personality and abilities. Then

you can find what career you want.

Shinn, G. (1981) Better Yourself Boos What you want the most in life? You would

almost certainly say that you want to be successful. How do you attain success? First, you

need the wisdom to know what to do, the knowledge of how to do it, and the self-

motivation to do it. (G.S. , 1981)

Choosing a course/track will somehow can say what your future will be. If you want

to be successful, choose the right way to do the things that you want to.

Capital isn’t so important in business. Experience isn’t so important. You can get both

these things. What is important is ideas. If you have ideas , you have the main asset, you

need, and there isn’t any limit to what you can do with your business and your life. They

are any man’s greatest asset—ideas. Firestone, H.,(n.d.)(H,n.d.)

The course/track that most of the students choose, they prefer a business course,

because they know that if they choose this kind of course/track, they can immediately

have a job.

According to the “The Good Universities Guide” (2017) there are 5 factors that affect

the decision of the students. At first, the students are expecting for high grades in a

subject they are going to take. Second, talking to professionals that are talking about the

industry. Third, being pressured by the parents. Choosing a course, you do not want and

not interested. And lastly, thinking about the future after graduating. In choosing the right
pathway for the future look for a job that is connected to your degree. (The Good

Universities Guide, 2017)

Making decisions is something we do every day, so I wanted to find out more about

how this process works and what affects the choices we make. It turns out; there are some

really interesting ways our decisions are affected that I never would have guessed.

Luckily, we can take action to improve most of these. Obviously, lots of things take place

inside your brain as you make a decision. What I found really interesting were the various

things that affect our brain’s decision-making process without us ever realizing.

Over and above past experiences, cognitive biases, and individual differences; another

influence on decision making is the belief in the personal relevance. It can reflect the

attitude of one individuals, concluded that people will vote more readily when they

believe their opinion is indicative of the attitudes of the general population, as well as

when they have a regard for their own importance in the outcomes. The age is one

individual difference that influence toward in the decision making. As part of their age

the thinking is affected of generalized ideas of them in making decisions if its relevant or

not. It’s up to them which they want to have for it happens effectively for them to have

the importance outcomes of the decisions they are in.

According to Nicholas Sparks, The Senior High School as part of the K+12

Curriculum is new in our educational system, but in the contrary, these added two years

in basic education will provide an opportunity for everyone to be equally well-prepared

for a college education academically. In Senior High School there are four career tracks

for students to choose from: Academic, Technical-Vocational-Livelihood, Sports, and Art

& Design. One of the strands in Academic track is Accountancy and Business

Management (ABM) which offers subjects which will help and open our minds into the

business world therefore, become the ticket to the corporate world. The purpose of

writing the literature is to highlight and broaden the knowledge of the students of what

ABM really is. The literature review focuses on the ABM strand, for the students to have

background knowledge about it, to let them know what are the possible courses they can

take up in college in line with the said strand and the potential jobs they can acquire in

the future.

Accountancy and Business Management (ABM) strand offers subjects which will help

and open our minds into the business world, therefore, become the ticket to the corporate

world. And as our economy grows through the years, more and more job opportunities

are being available, and as of this year, 2017, accounting and finance related jobs are the

most sought jobs around the world. Overall, the purpose of writing the literature is to

highlight and broaden the knowledge of the students of what ABM is and encourage them

to take up the said track. The author’s objectives were reasonable and attainable and the

article was relevant and convincing. The literature review answered all the questions

about ABM track clearly. The article also included enough information to fulfil the

anticipation of the students to gain knowledge about ABM.

According to Reynolds (n.d), “there are times that the students choose their

course/track based on their personal interest. The students based their choosing a course

according to their interest. It is good to know if the students choose their course

according to what they really want. And not the decision of others because if they follow
what other people say to them, there will be a situation that they handle their goals

properly.” (Reynolds)

Jackson, G. (2012) , the parents is the second one why their child chooses their child’s

course/track. The parents influence their child because they think about their financial

situation if they can afford what their child’s course/track. Sometimes if the students

follow the course/track that they want to choose, but their parents cannot allow them

financially, they can’t choose a course that they want to.(G.,2012

“During your business degree, you’ll develop a broad knowledge of business

operations as well as gaining targeted skills in your specific field, such as customer

markets, finances operations, strategy, business policy, communications and IT. You’ll

typically also be challenged to explore these fields within an international context,

through in some cases it will be advantageous to specialize in their application within a

particular country or world region.” Laura Tucker (2014) Why Study Business? (Tucker

2014)

Review of Related Studies

The present study on entrepreneurial inclination of SHS-ABM track students in an

additional literature in the field of entrepreneurship. It has been noted that

entrepreneurship impact society through employment, improvement of human life,

increased productivity and revenue from taxes (Lacao 2015) and investigating the

inclination towards SHS students can be benchmark and a tool that can be used by

government organizations including DepEd and CHED in promoting entrepreneurship

education among Filipino youth.

 In choosing a strand in SHS is not easy, but sometimes it is easy to choose if you

already know what is your goal in life and what are your plans in the future. Below are

some factors in choosing ABM as your strand:

 You are willing to have a business someday. It is because in this strand, you will learn

how to start a business, what characteristics does a business man/woman needed? And

lastly, how to manage a firm, entrepreneurship, and anything in the business world.

 You must be inclined with the subject Mathematics, but not all students are good in this

subject but the students have their saying which is “it this is your weakness, you should

give some extra effort and more focus”. Most of the students choose this strand because

they are good in math which it is easier for them.

 You are 100% sure that you really love being an ABM student. You can’t achieve your

goal if you don’t love your course. If you love everything about ABM, you can give your

full effort and attention just to achieve your goal.

(Factors of Choosing ABM,n.d.)

“In the light of this unusual interest in education, one may ask: why does the Filipino

give so much value to education that he dares all odds and works hard to the bones if only

to earn a degree for himself? It is enlightening to know what the people have to say about

it” Timbreza, F. T.,(n.d.) “Filipino Values Today” National Bookstore

Some people can sacrifice themselves just to earn a degree. But, if they didn’t value

their personality, the education they have are nothing. Don’t study just to have your own

personal intention to yourselves. Learn how to value yourselves. Because our lives are

not our own lives.

 Being an educated people doesn’t define on what attitude you have. If defines on what

personality you have. If you’re educated, but you don’t even respect some people around

you, you’re nothing. Therefore, if you will choose a course you wanted to be, show an

attitude that people will respect you as you respect them.

“Young people’s dreams and ambitions may take many forms and go through many

phases and changes. Some are practical and realistic; some can ever go beyond wishful

thinking. But among the main factors that hell determines the life they will eventually

have are the kins of schooling they get and the type of work they do.” (Al,2010)

Young person’s goals and aspirations may have many types and go through many

steps and adjustments; some are factual and realistic; some can go far from their desirous

thinking. In choosing their course, sometimes they want that specific course they are

taking up but as time go by the students. It is because of the wand. New experiences or

things had encountered.

According to Rivera, R. (R.,2012) Ano ang matibay na basehan sa pagpili ng kurso?

“Having an opportunity to study and choose a right course is not like choosing a dress

that you want to wear for a special occasion and if you don’t like the dress that you buy,

you will take it off and bring it back to the store where you bought it and you get the

money. It’s not a good idea. Because you can’t turn back the time you waste if you can’t

handle or finish the course that you choose.

Choosing a right course for a student, its more applicable if they think deeper or wise

before they decide. Because if their decision is not right, there will be a time that they
will change their mind and change again their decision. But it’s hard if they change the

first course that they choose. They just waste their time.

“The material things in our lives are temporary unlike the spiritual things. The

spiritual things should our priority in any decisions we make because those spiritual

things are everlasting. Because choosing a tight course is one of the most important

decision that the students have to think deeper.” Tess, M.,(15th of February 2013)

Batayan sa Pagpili ng Kurso sa Kolehiyo (M.’2013)

Choosing a course, it is like a material or temporary things. The spiritual things are

eternal. But the material things are temporary. If we live spiritually, the course that is

right for us will last longer and we can finish it until the end. But if we put our mind

materially, the course that we have chosen will end up like a bubble.

“Choosing a course is a big decision that we need to think wisely and deeply because

it affects the future of many students. The two important parts of decision-making about a

choosing a right course and profession of students is his/her personal interest and

strength. Parents have the big role for their child to decide what course will be right for

them. Friends sometimes are always with them so that their decision that they have to do

is influenced them. Also, they think their financial situation.” Perez, J., (11th of March

2015) Mga salik sa pagpili ng kurso ng mga magsisipagtapos. (Perez 2015)

The future of the students is affects in choosing their course that needs to think better

before they decide. Personal interest and strength are the two-important part of their

decision according to their course and profession. In their decision, their parents have the
important role for their children’s sake. It is also influenced their friends in their decision

because friends are sometimes with them.
