Introduction

Rationale

Tracer Study is a look that could offer useful data to assess better schooling

consequences and may then be used to enhance and assure the best of better

schooling institutions. This study makes use of a quantitative studies technique with

the kind of survey studies. The study populace is graduates of the Educational

Management Department who graduated in 2021 and 2022. The pattern used is

saturated sampling, wherein the complete populace is a member of the pattern. The

look at effects has been analyzed through the use of descriptive information and

extracted facts approximately graduates, together with the range of graduates.

Graduate tracer studies are designed by educational institutions to gather the

perceptions of its graduates on the relevance of their academic experiences to

employment opportunities. It is also a means to measure the relevance of the

curriculum in meeting the needs of the students.Tracer studies are most useful when

change from a develop intervention is intended to be long-term and significant. For

example, the ultimate impact of an educational project may not be known until a

very long time after the project has finished. This is why tracer studies are often

used within the educational sector.

Tracer study is an approach that is widely used in most organizations,

especially in educational institutions. The tracer study tracks and keeps a record of

their students once they have graduated from the institution. Through the tracer

study, an institution would be able to evaluate the quality of education given to their

graduates.
 3

In this study that survey can provide helpful information to evaluate the

respondent of this tracers study results and can then be used who are graduates of

Senior high school. This research uses a quantitative research approach with the

type of survey research. The research population is graduates of the senior high

school students S.Y(2021&2022) of Sogod national high school. The study results

were analyzed using descriptive statistics and extracted information about

graduates, including the number of graduates.

Tracer takes a look at effects as an effective device that documented the

employment characteristics, transition to employment, and the extent of pleasure of

the PNU graduates of 2009-2011 in phrases of the extent of pleasure of the

University services, studying surroundings, and facilities. It additionally regarded

the competencies and skills of the distinctive bachelor’s diploma packages in trainer

schooling supplied at some point of the pre-carrier education if those present

packages have been nevertheless effective, good enough, and applicable in

responding to the speedy and complicated adjustments as introduced approximately

through rising trends which include the worldwide requirements in educational

applications, the imminent ASEAN 2015 integration, the Competency Framework

of South East Asian (SEA) Teachers withinside the twenty-first Century, amongst

others(Gines, 2014).

This study aimed to decide the employability of its graduates in addition to the

strengths and weaknesses of the Bachelor of Science in Mathematics (BSM)

software of a Philippine Higher Educational Institution. Adapting the Commission

on Higher Education (CHED) Graduate Tracer Survey Questionnaire, the look at

furnished statistics that had been used as a foundation withinside the overview and

revision of the stated software. The results of this study can be used to reply to the

wishes of society by adjusting the curriculum to satisfy the wishes of the twenty-

first-century learners, assist put together the scholars now no longer most effective

for the arena of labor and land applicable employment however additionally to

innovate withinside the future. Results of the examination have been applied to

report the employment characteristics, transition to employment, and the extent of

pride of the fifty (50) BSM graduates in phrases of the extent of pride in the

school’s services, gaining knowledge of surroundings and facilities. The findings

 7

found out that the graduates claimed their pre-provider education beneath neath the

BSM software helped them collect twenty-first Century abilities and capabilities

which have been now no longer most effective powerful and good enough however

additionally applicable in responding to the needs in their selected occupations.

Providing gentle education on implemented pc software programs, forming a

partnership with software program developers, and providing overseas language and

principal publications that merge gadget mastering and information technology have

been a number of the guidelines cautioned through the graduates to in addition

enhance the BS Mathematics application (Kalaw, 2019).

The conceptualization of the tracer takes a look at technical university

graduates1 pronounced on this bankruptcy preceded the paintings of the National

Landscape Task Team that caused the advice that 151 faculties be merged into 50

(DoE 2001a), even though the tracer look at and Task Team investigations have

been carried out concurrently. Besides the want to talk of ‘technical faculties’

instead of ‘FET schools’ that this priority implies, however, a key distinction

between the 2 investigations is that at the same time as establishments got here

below the highlight of the Task Team, the unit of evaluation withinside the tracer

takes a look at isn't always the organization however the learner. The populace to

which the findings of the tracer look may be generalized, then, is the one's graduates

of 151 technical schools who completed an N2, N3, or National Senior Certificate

(NSC) in 1999. In this sense, institutional responsiveness is considered thru the lens

of graduate perceptions in their university revel and the quantity to which it has

organized them for access into the labor market. This bankruptcy review on the

important thing findings of the graduate tracer looks at below 3 wide headings. The

first in brief profiles the three 503 respondents in phrases in their biographies,
 8

highlighting such variables as the province, populace group, gender, age, and

parental/parent schooling levels (Cosser, 2003).

Philippines has now graduated more than one Senior High School (SHS)

batch because of its essential schooling reform however now no longer a great deal

become studied concerning its graduates. Because of tracing and studying in their

repute relative to the curriculum‟ s exits, this observation is conceptualized. It

aimed toward profiling Aurora State College of Technology (ASCOT) SHS

graduates and figuring out which of those profiles explain statehood and SHS

strand. The alignment of respondents‟ SHS strands to their university guides and

the absorption price of the university had been additionally determined. A

researcher-advanced questionnaire turned into administered to 2018 and 2019

ASCOT SHS graduates. Responses acquired have been screened, grouped in steps

with strands then randomly sampled. A general of 523 responses remained for

analysis. This corresponds to a 2.87% margin for mistakes that is inside the

conventional 5%. Results confirmed that the majority of the graduates are inside a

while 19-21, a big majority of the respondents belong to the decreased profits

classes and the range of male graduates is at par with females. Out of all of the

respondents enrolled in university, the most effective one-1/2 of have guides

aligned to their SHS strands at the same time as ASCOT has an absorption charge

of 75.42%. Relative to their statehood, 90.82% pursued university schooling, 4.02%

are employed, 1.15% are marketers and 4.02% are layabouts. Sex, age, and month-

to-month own circle of relatives' earnings defined the respondents selected strand.

Both intercourse and month-to-month own circle of relatives' earnings defined

statehood (Padios et al.,2021).

 9

The international call for excessive-professional specialists emphasized the

function of better schooling in professional advancement. This descriptive tracer

look at the Master in Public Administration and Governance (MPAG) and the

Doctor of Philosophy in Development Management (PhD-DvM) packages aimed to

set up a database of the profile of the graduates; the quantity of exercise of graduate

attributes and the extent of pride with software shipping and implementation.

Likewise, it investigated the demanding situations encountered with the aid of using

the graduates and their motives for enrolment. Results found that the majority have

been promoted to better control positions; that the exercise of graduate attributes

withinside the place of work is to a terrific volume; and that graduates have been

very extraordinarily glad about this system shipping and implementation. Research

rank highest, observed through faculty. While bodily centers and scholar offerings

have been rated excessive only. Among the demanding situations encountered by

graduates are thesis/dissertation writing, social relationships, and paintings

responsibilities, amongst others. Quality of graduate schooling, professors'

competence, Catholic values, centers, and studies education have been motives for

enrolling (Nunez. et al.,2022).

Thus particularly aggressive international marketplace, the educational

education of graduates offers them higher activity possibilities and a better risk of

employment. With graduate studies, one could be extra qualified, eligible, and

equipped to stand new jobs and painting assignments, in particular, whilst retaining

managerial positions. This look typically aimed to hint at the graduates of a State

Higher Education Institution withinside the Philippines. Specifically, it decided the

profile of graduates, employment status, employability characteristics, the quantity

of contribution and applicability of the competencies won, assessed the graduate

 10

software services, and tips to enhance the offerings of the Graduate School. The

examination used a descriptive study design. They have a look at collecting

information from ninety- graduates of the 3 application services of the Graduate

School. The questionnaire become used to acquire important information and

analyzed the use of descriptive facts including frequency matter and percentage,

mean, and rank. Based on the result, graduates have a completely excessive

employability rate. There is a completely excessive software of the capabilities won

via way of means of the graduates particularly on the improved educational career

to their non-public and expert growth; there may be an excessive evaluation of

graduates to the graduate software they enrolled with inside the College (Dela Cruz,

2022).

This tracer observation is an initiative to decide on professional

improvement and, at the equal time, compare the curriculum layout of the BS

Information Technology program. The researcher used the descriptive quantitative

approach because of the layout of the examination. The respondents are from 2013

to 2019, with graduates of 2019 posting the very best percent share. An overall of

183 graduates spoke back to the survey tool thru a google form. The sampling is

purposive and most effective depending on the centered reaction rate. The technique

applied Frequency counts, percent computation, and suggest scores. The findings

found that maximum graduates are gainfully hired withinside the authority's IT

Companies and are ordinary personnel or with everlasting status. At the identical

time, the opposite respondents are both transient or informal personnel. Finally, the

respondents endorse reviewing the curriculum, enhancing college facilities, and

hiring educationally certified and equipped faculty (Dalan et al.,2022)

 11

A graduate tracer survey (GTS) collects data on the graduate’s college experience

—skills learned and quality of instruction—and how it relates to employability. A GTS can

illuminate the relationship between college experience and labor market outcomes, which

can aid in formulating actions for the higher education sector. It can also be used to

investigate the influence of college experience on sociopolitical participation and life

satisfaction (Miraflor et al.,2021).

Graduates' employability indicates the excellent education and relevant

preparation they obtained from their respective degrees. Tracer studies have enabled

higher education institutions to profile their graduates while also reflecting on the quality

of education they provide. With the foregoing, a tracer study determined the

demographic and academic profile of teacher education graduates from 2017 to 2020 in a

state university in the West Philippines. It also ascertained the advanced studies they

attended after college, their employment data, the relevance of college preparation with

their current employment, difficulties they encountered while securing employment and

in their present job, and recommendations to strengthen the teacher education program

(Agasa et al.,2022).

This tracers Study despite several challenges related to the response rate, it is a

successful demonstration of the desired GTS implementation setup for the next GTS

rounds. The results show that graduates are motivated by earnings and career

advancement in their choice of baccalaureate programs, and their choices are

concentrated in a few courses. Except for nursing and information technology-related

courses, their courses are not the high-paying ones. For graduates of courses without a

professional license requirement, the median length of time it takes to get a job after

graduation is five months, while it takes at least 11 months for those who took courses

that require a license. At the time of the survey, only 86 in 100 graduates are in the labor
 12

force, of which 76 are employed. There are several telltale signs of job-education

mismatch graduates feel that they did not sufficiently develop communication, critical

thinking, and problem-solving skills only 70 percent of graduates think that their college

degree is relevant to their first job less than half of them consider occupational skills

learned in college as the main reason for landing their first or current jobs and around a

fourth think that outdated skills are keeping them from getting a good job. Overall, only 49

percent of graduates who took courses that require a professional license are employed in

jobs that match their degree (Rojas et al.,2016).

Tracer's study is program on the situation of alumni, especially in terms of job

search, work situations, and the use of competency acquisition during college. Based on

the benchmarks that have been set by Dikti, the development of tracer studies can be

implemented in several stages, such as system design development, data design, and

interface design. With the development of the tracer study system design, it is hoped that

it can become the basis for developing an integrated tracer study information system with

the institution. The purpose of this discussion is to find a tracer study design that is in

accordance with the rules and regulations to be applied in the institution. Using a modified

Borg and Gall development model, the author focuses on product design development.

The earliest design tracer studies discuss system design because this is the first stage in

program design and it is the most fundamental. With this approach, designs can be

developed and this is expected to be in accordance with the institutional needs and

regulations of DIKTI as policymakers in higher education (Hapsari et al., 2022).
