The Practicum Training Plan and the BSAIS Program Intended Learning Outcomes in Laguna University: A Correlational Study
Subject area: Science,Engineering and Technology · Area of research: Business and Management
Abstract
This study aimed to investigate the correlation between the Practicum Training Plan and the Program Intended Learning Outcomes (PILO) of the BSAIS 4th year students at Laguna University. Although the practicum holds considerable importance, there are still concerns regarding its effectiveness in attaining the goals of the Practicum Training Plan and its contribution in preparing students for their future careers. This study sought to fill this gap by assessing the extent to which the PILO is realized through the Practicum Training Plan. Specifically, it sought to answer the following questions: (1) What is the demographic profile of the respondents in terms age, gender and host training establishment/ department? (2) To what extent are the following areas of the Practicum Training Plan realized in terms of General Accounting, Management Accounting, and Accounting Information System? (3) To what extent are the following program intended learning outcomes realized through the Practicum Training Plan? (4) is there a significant relationship between the demographic profile and the attainment of PILO? and (5) Is there a significant relationship between the practicum training plan and the realization of the BSAIS PILO? This study employed a correlational research design and utilized various statistical methods including, percentage and frequency distribution, weighted mean, spearman?s rank correlation, chi-square test and Pearson?s-r correlation to determine the correlation between the Practicum Training Plan and the BSAIS PILO in Laguna University. The researchers made use of survey questionnaire for their data gathering and distributed it to the population of interest, which comprised of seventy-five (75) 4th year students of the BSAIS program. The findings revealed that there is no significant relationship between the demographic profile and the BSAIS PILO. Nonetheless, a moderate positive correlation was observed between the Practicum Training Plan and the BSAIS PILO.
