HW6: Survey report

To have additional findings for my research paper, I have conducted a survey. What I did is an online survey because it is much easier to send survey questions and much easier to tabulate the answers gather in the survey. I asked my friends and random people to answer my survey questions. Some are approachable, while some ignored my request.

I start sending my survey questionnaire November 28, 2012 (Thursday) until December 2, 2012 (Sunday). I send my survey link to thirty (30) people and out of it, only eighteen (18) are my respondents. I have used Google Drive where a made my survey questions and to produce a link of my survey. My survey questions are needed to answer in an essay form. I have asked thirteen (13) questions which of those three (3) are to determine their category and ten (10) are related to my topic.

Out of the eighteen (18) respondents, five (5) were male and thirteen (13) were female. My ideal respondents are teachers, students, and parents which are experiencing the “k to 12” program. But teachers and parents ignored my request to answer my survey questionnaire. Therefore, I only have students’ respondents which are not experiencing the program. So, asked those students to their opinions and I have them answered my survey.

To discuss my survey results I have four (4) major questions which are: “How do you feel about adding 2 years of education in the Philippines?”, “If we add 2 more years, what are the possible effects here in the Philippines?”, “What do you think the Philippines needed to enhance our education performance?”, And “Are we(filipinos) ready to have additional 2 years in basic education?”


How do you feel about adding 2 years of education in the Philippines?

My first major question related to my topic is that how do they feel about adding two (2) years of education in our country. Almost 67% have negative answers in adding two (2) more years those who have negative answer said it is a waste of time and money and we should focus on other aspect in education like improving qualities of teachers and to infrastructures like schools and classrooms. 28% have a positive answer these respondents said that it would be better for the students because they will have time to cover up all lessons and discussion in the class. The 6% of the respondents said that it depends to the school giving quality of education.

If we add 2 more years, what are the possible effects here in the Philippines?

In this question 56% answered that there will be negative possible effects. Respondents said that students will not be able to finish school due to they become tired attending school, and parents will have a hard time sending their children to school because of financial capacity. While 33 % of the respondents answered there will be a positive possible effect. They said that Philippines will produce professionals, there will be an increase in the graduate rate of college because students graduated from k to 12 are ready for college, there would be a high employment rate, Philippines will be recognized and competitive internationally, and Filipinos will become more civilized. The remaining % did not answered this portion.



What do you think the Philippines needed to enhance our education performance?

From what I have observe respondents have similarity to their answers. Based to the respondents’ answers there three which Philippines needed to enhance these are the teachers, schools and its facilities, and budget for education sector. Teachers, teachers are the persons who are giving knowledge to the students. We need to produce more teachers in order to accommodate number of students. And lastly, We need to increase the “right” salary in what they do because if they don’t have the right salary tendency is they are not encourage to teach because they receive what they don’t deserve. Schools and its facilities, good environment to students have the tendency to focus studying. We need to have additional schools and classrooms in order to accommodate number of students because some schools and classroom have crowded students therefor some teacher have the tendency not to recognized their students. Facilities that students will use are factor learning to students so it needed to be improved on. And Budget, if you observed above budget is a big factor in order to fulfil what are needed. Therefor government should give additional funds to the education sector in order to enhance our education performance.









Are we (filipinos) ready to have additional 2 years in basic education

As you can see in the graph, majority of the respondents answers “no” the question if the Filipinos are ready to have additional 2 years in basic education. Their reasons are it will create problem especially financial and we are used to the program. They said that we need not to add two years but we should focus on other things like what I mentioned in the “What do you think the Philippines needed to enhance our education performance?” section. To those who agree to the question they said that Filipino are capable in adjusting on everything.




After conducting my survey, I looked to my prediction in my “HW1:Background of Survey” blog post. I find out that my prediction is the opposite of the finding of my survey. My prediction is respondent will be in favour upon implementing the k to 12 program. Based on what I have read on my survey results. Majority of the respondents said that we need not to add years to enhance our education but we need to improve other things like schools, facilities and teachers to enhance our education.
