Choice" covers different professions and life choices for Grade 11 learners like you.
It provides information on the different senior high school curriculum exits and
professions that will facilitate your career decision making as you pursue college.

choices considering that deciding for career and life is not an easy task for Grade
11 learners like you.

This module will help you identify these factors and lead you to appreciate how
these factors affect your choices of profession.

1. explain the different factors affecting the choices in life and profession;
2. appreciate the factors in choosing a profession; and
3. identify the knowledge and skills needed in the different professions and life
choices.

II. Main Activity

Basahin ang maikling kuwento na may pamagat na, “Sikreto sa Tagumpay ni

Selina” upang malaman ang makahulugang buhay ni Selina. Alamin ang kanyang
paglalakbay tungo sa tagumpay sa pamamagitan ng sikap, sipag at tiyaga.

Sikreto sa Tagumpay ni Selina

ni Jenifer L. Soriano

"Selina, maghanda ka na. Mahuhuli ka na sa klase," pangungulit ni Aling Sonya

sa labintatlong gulang na panganay na anak.
"Opo, Inay. Tatapusin ko lang po itong tinatali ko para makadagdag sa ibebenta
ninyo," sagot nito habang nagmamadaling ibinubungkos ang mga talbos ng kamote,
sitaw, at saluyot na ipagbibili ng ina sa palengke.
Sa ganitong eksena nagsisimula ang araw ni Selina. Kailangan niya itong gawin
upang makatulong sa kita at gastusin ng kanilang pamilya. Sa kabila ng kahirapan
ay patuloy na nagsusumikap ang pamilya Tolentino upang mabuhay.
Sa mga araw na walang pasok, katulong si Selina ng kaniyang ina. Suson
suson ang basket at bilao, iniikot ni Selina ang kanilang baryo upang ilako ang

CAREER GUIDANCE MODULE FOR GRADE 11 – QUARTER 2 2

 mga gulay. Maraming papangutya at panghuhusga na ang kaniyang pinagdaanan.
Sa tingin ng iba, hindi siva makatatapos ng pag-aaral at sa halip ay maaga itong
mag- aasawa upang makawala sa hirap ng buhay.
Gayunpaman, ipinagpatuloy ni Selina ang kursong nais ng magulang. Ito sana
ang kursong nais ng ina subalit hindi siva nabigyan ng pagkakataon kaya't sa anak
na lamang ipapasa.
"Selina Soliman Tolentino, Cum laude," pahayag ng gurong tagapagdaloy sa
palatuntunan ng pagtatapos sa isang sikat na kolehiyo sa kanilang lalawigan na
malapit sa kanilang tirahan.
May pagmamalaking tumindig si Selina at saglit na nagbalik-tanaw sa kaniyang
pagsagupa sa mapanghamong mundo ng buhay. Sa wakas, aakyat na siva sa
entablado upang tanggapin ang pinangarap at pinagsumikapang medalya.
Tuwang di maikubli naman sa mukha ng ina ang bumakas sa patuloy na pag
agos at pagpunas ng mga sariwang butil ng perlas sa mga mata nito. Kampante na
si Aling Sonya at nalalaman niyang may makatutulong na siva upang maipagpatuloy
pa ng anim na anak ang pag-aaral.
Alam at nasaksihan ni Aling Sonya ang laki ng sakripisyo ng anak para lamang
makatapos ng pag-aaral bilang isang guro. Kasama si Selina sa pagpapayaman sa
maliit na bakuran upang matustusan ang pangangailangan sa kaniyang pag aaral.
Dahil din sa angking kakayahan sa pagguhit at pagsusulat, madalas hingan ng
tulong si Selina ng iba pang estudyanteng tulad niya sa paggawa ng kanilang mga
proyekto, ulat, pamanahong-papel, at iba pang gawain. Kapalit nito, siva ay naililibre
ng pagkain at naaabutan ng kaunting halaga. Mula sa kaunting halagang ito ay
nakaiipon siva at nakapag-aabot ng baon sa mga kapatid.
Sa kaniyang mga taon sa hayskul ay nakitaan siva ng potensiyal sa
pagsasayaw at pag-awit. Nanguna siva sa mga patimpalak na ito kaya't habang
nag- aaral sa kolehiyo ay naisisingit niya ang pagtuturo ng sayaw at kanta sa mga
mag-aaral sa pinagtapusan niyang paaralang pader lamang ang pagitan mula sa
kanilang tahanan. Ito ay ayon na rin sa hiling ng dati niyang mga gurong
humahanga at naniniwala sa kaniyang kakayahan.
Sa gayon ay nakawilihan na niya ang makihalubilo sa mga bata at higit na
nahasa ang kaniyang kakayahang makipag-ugnayan na siya namang kailangan sa
pinag-aralang propesyon. Unti-unti ay nakikita niya ang kaniyang sariling minamahal
ang pagiging isang ganap na guro.
Handa na si Selina sa bagong hamon. Hangad niya ang tagumpay para sa
kaniyang sarili, sa kaniyang pamilya, at higit sa lahat, sa mga mag-aaral na
magiging kliyente at ituturing niyang mga anak sa kaniyang propesyon.
Nais pa ni Selina na mapalawak ang kaniyang karunungan at makuha ang
kursong abogasiya, tagapagtanggol ng mga naaapi, tulad ng kaniyang pamilyang
inagawan ng lupa, na humantong sa pagkalubog sa utang para lamang ipaglaban
ang karapatan sa batas ng pag-angkin sa mga ari-arian.

CAREER GUIDANCE MODULE FOR GRADE 11 – QUARTER 2 3

Taglay ni Selina ang kakayahang mangarap at tuparin ang mga pangarap na ito.
Pinahahalagahan rin niya ang madalas na payo sa kaniya ng magulang, na ang
tunay na "sikreto sa tagumpay" ay sikap, sipag at tiyaga. Tunay nga na ang
kahirapan ay hindi hadlang sa pagtatamo ng mga pangarap.

Factors Affecting Career and Life Options

"I am convinced that every effort must be made in childhood to teach the young to
 use their own minds. For one thing is sure: If they don't make up their minds,
someone will do it for them."
-Eleanor Roosevelt
(You Learn by Living: Eleven Keys for a More Fulfilling Life)

Reflect on the quotation and answer the questions.

• What or who influenced your choice of senior high school track and strand, was it
your personal decision? your parent's decision? because of pressure from friends?

Life is a choice. Our choices are influenced by different factors personal, family, or
social. These influences are unique in every individual and dependent upon the
situation the individual is in at that time the choice was made.

Personal Factors

Skills and Abilities. Are you aware of your skills and abilities? Do you know what
you are capable of doing? When individuals are in jobs best suited to their abilities,
they perform best and their productivity is highest. Parson's Trait and Factor Theory
of Occupational Choice emphasized the importance of analyzing one's skills,
values, interests, and personality and then match these up to jobs
which use these.

Interest and Personality Types. Do you know your interests and personality type?
Holland's Career Typology established a classification system that matches
personality characteristics and personal preferences to job characteristics. According
to John Holland's theory, most people are one of six personality types: realistic,
investigative, artistic, social, enterprising, and conventional. Knowing your
personality will help you understand yourself. It matters that your personality fits your
career choice.

CAREER GUIDANCE MODULE FOR GRADE 11 – QUARTER 2 5

 Life Roles. What do you think is your role in life-a leader? an organizer? a
mediator? a designer? According to Super's Lifespan Theory, how we think about
ourselves in these roles, their requirements of them, and the external forces that
affect them, may influence how we look at careers in general and how we
make choices for ourselves.

Previous Experiences. Did you think of pursuing a task which you have been
successful in the past? One aspect of the Social Cognitive Career Theory
addresses the fact that we are likely to consider continuing a particular task if we
have had a positive experience doing it. In this way, we focus on areas in which
we have had proven success and achieved positive self-esteem.

Childhood Fantasies. 'What do you want to be when you grow up?" Perhaps this
frequently asked question during our childhood years may have helped shape
what we thought we would be then, as well as later in life.

Family Factors
"The matter of choosing a career in the Philippine setting is clearly a family affair."
(Clemena, 2002)
Parental Influence. How many percent of your career decision is influenced by your
parents? Many children grow up idealizing the professions of their parents. Parents
may intentionally or unintentionally push their child towards a particular

CAREER GUIDANCE MODULE FOR GRADE 11 – QUARTER 2 6

career path, especially in the cases of family-owned businesses where parents
expect their children to take over the company. Still other parents apply pressure on
 their offspring to strive for particular high-profile careers, feeling they are
encouraging their children to reach high.
If your parents were uneducated or were always struggling to get by financially, you
may decide not to be in the same position. This may prompt you to pursue a totally
different career path-to have a stable, high-earning job. Likewise, if you have parents
who are workaholics and were never around when you were a child, you may decide
to pursue a line of work with flexibility that gives you more time with your children.

Financial Resources. In choosing a career or profession, there is a need to

consider the capability to support the course or career to be pursued. Social
Cognitive Career Theory and Social Learning Theory address this and recognize
that events that take place in our lives may affect the choices available to us and
even dictate our choices to a certain degree. When your family has limited financial
resources for instance, will you insist on pursuing medicine? Or would you rather
take up other related courses first and pursue medicine when
you are capable of shouldering the expenses yourself?

Family Beliefs and Traditions. Beliefs and traditions is another family factor to
consider when making a career choice. It is tradition for example that all male
siblings in the clan take up engineering courses. Being a family tradition, this could
somehow be relevant when making a career choice.

Social Factors

Influence of Media/Technology. The influence of social media may have positive and
negative effects. Nowadays, career information is available to 21st century learners.
This information may be used or may influence you in deciding for their career.

Influence of Friends and Peers. Peer pressure is common among learners. There
are learners who decide on the career to pursue based on the opinion or choice of
their friends. Who among you will choose the same course as your friends? Why?
There are many reasons for this-you want to be in, would not want to make new
friends and make new adjustments, or too much attachment to old friends.

Industry Demands and Expectations. Our career choices take place within the
context of society and the economy. Graduates have been practical in considering
the demands and expectations of the industries before coming up with their career
decisions. These guide them in deciding what to do and where to go. Changes in
the economy and resulting job market may also affect how their careers develop.

CAREER GUIDANCE MODULE FOR GRADE 11 – QUARTER 2 7

As senior high school learners, are you aware of the different choices of
professions and career? Do you know where to go after senior high school?

The Senior High School Program has four curriculum exits. You can choose to be
employed right after graduation or pursue the development of your technical and
vocational skills. You can also decide to be an entrepreneur or pursue higher
education. For a clearer understanding, the following are the senior high school
curriculum exits:

Senior High School Curriculum Exits

 Employment
The Senior High School (SHS) program opens employment opportunities for
graduates. Graduates of the Technical-Vocational- Livelihood (TVL) track may
apply for TESDA Certificates of Competency (COCs) and National Certificates
(NCs). Partnerships with different companies for technical and
vocational courses expose students to the real world of work. Students also gain
work experience while studying, and companies can even hire them after they
graduate.

Entrepreneurship
With the inclusion of an entrepreneurship subject in the curriculum, SHS graduates
are better equipped for small-scale business activities, such as running a family
business or starting one's own business.

Middle Level Skills Development

Middle level skills require learning and training higher than high school education
but lower than a four-year college course. These standard requirements built into
the TVL track ensure that graduates have good job knowledge in their chosen
specializations. In the same way that SHS graduates are better prepared for
college, they are also equipped for developing more specialized skills in technical-
vocational schools.

Higher Education
Some subjects in the College General Education curriculum have now been
integrated into the SHS curriculum, leaving only the subjects that are more focused
and relevant to your chosen course or major.

(Before presenting the list of regulated professions, let the students pick from the
wall the prepared strips of different professions and post these under the right
cluster on the board. After the activity, check whether the professions were properly
attached to the right cluster or not, then discuss.)

III. Lecturette

Our knowledge about self and of our skills and ways of doing things are
important elements in choosing a career. When we know our interests and the
skills we possess, we are better able to identify the kind of profession we want to
pursue.

Personal skills are things we are good at-our strengths, abilities, and
attributes.

Knowledge refers to learning concepts, principles, and information

regarding a particular subject(s) by a person through books, media,
encyclopedias, academic institutions, and other sources (Boulet, 2011).

(http://www.differencebetween.net/language/difference-between-knowledge-and
skill/).

Skill refers to the ability of using that information and applying it in a

context. In other words, knowledge refers to theory and skill refers to
successfully applying that theory in practice and getting expected results.

For instance, a salesperson armed with an MBA degree may have

learned all the principles of marketing and selling in his business school. Going
forward, in his work he would know more about his company in the arena of its
product line, target market, competitors, etc. All of the above is knowledge.
When the individual transfers this knowledge to create a successful sales
strategy and pitch and work to achieve those sales targets, is the salesperson's
skill.

Knowledge is the thing we know while skill is the ability to apply what we
know.

Each of us possesses different skills. Each of us varies in the strengths

and weaknesses that we possess. These make us unique. Because we are
unique, we differ in the way we do things. Since no two individuals are the same,
we need to complement each other. In like manner, different professions require
different skill sets and abilities. Skills are divided according to the following
categories (Santa Maria, 2006):
People Skills - Work with, help, entertain, service, or influence the actions or
thinking of people.

Data Skills - Handle details, facts, numbers, records or files in a quick and
accurate way.

Thing Skills - Operate, maintain, or build machinery or regulate or process

equipment; understand and work with physical, chemical, or biological functions

Idea Skills - Solve abstract problems and express thoughts or feelings in a

creative or ingenious way.

Skills can also be categorized as employability skills or skills you need for a job.
(http://www.skillsyouneed.com/general/employability-skills.html). These are:

Interpersonal Skills - These are important when seeking employment and may
be the single most important factor for many recruiters.

Communication Skills - Employers look for people who communicate well both
verbally and in writing.

Critical Thinking Skills - The ability to solve problems and make decisions can
be a huge asset to your employer and these are therefore desirable skills to
develop.

Personal Development - This is all about having the right attitude towards
work and the organization you work for. Employers look for people who are
keen to develop and learn.

Presentation Skills - Presenting information clearly and effectively is a key skill

in the workplace and presentation skills are required in almost every modern
employment area.

Leadership Skills - Leadership is the ability to influence others toward the

achievement of a goal.

Numeracy or Number Skills - Numeracy involves an understanding of

numerical data, statistics, and graphs, and is also part of making decisions and
reasoning.

Information Technology Skills - Most people need some information

technology (IT) skills to find work today. Acquiring basic IT skills and being
familiar with using a computer may open up a wide range of employment
opportunities and increase your marketability in the workplace.
