Chapter I INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study A tracer study is a graduate or alumni survey that attempts to trace the activities of the graduates or previous students of an educational institution (Millington, n.d.). The Association of African Universities or AAU (2002), and Boaduo, Mensah

and

Babitseng

(2009),

explain

that

tracer

studies

enable

the

contextualization of graduates of a particular university through a system that is dynamic and reliable in order to determine their life path or movement. It also enables the evaluation of the results of the education and training provided by a particular institution and examines and evaluates the current and future career and employment opportunities/ prospects of graduates (Boaduo, Mensah and Babitseng, 2009). Graduates’ job titles, years of employment, nature of employment, income levels, and biographical data can be revealed through tracer studies (Schomburg, 2009). The ILO Thesaurus 2005 defines a tracer study as an impact assessment tool where the “impact on target groups is traced back to specific elements of a project or program so that effective and ineffective project components may be identified.” In educational research the tracer study is sometimes referred to as a graduate or alumni survey since its target group is former students. Schomburg (2003, p.36) notes that graduate surveys are popular for “analysis of the relationship between higher education and work.” They provide quantitative-structural data on employment and career, the character of work and related competencies, and information on the professional orientation and experiences of their graduates.

In South Africa, Stilwell (2004) conducted a survey of alumni perceptions of the postgraduate ILS (Information and Library Science programmed at the University of Natal). Critical issues, such as balancing the human centered approach with IT, were identified. The findings of the study indicated that the programmed achieved its outcomes because it prepared alumni well for the work place. Ocholla’s (2001) tracer study of LIS graduates from 1996 - 1997 determined whether the skills and attitudes they gained during their training at the University of Zululand applied in their jobs. The results of the study indicate that graduates obtained sufficient knowledge from the degree programmed (Shongwe and Ocholla, 2009). Perhaps the most important of college education is employment. Most parents send their children to college with the hope that after graduation their children will find a decent and stable job. This holds true and especially among Filipino parents who look at the value of college education as the most important legacy they can give their children and as most effective mean of getting a job that would help build the future of their children. However, with the present quality of education and the pressing demand of the workforce industry, many parents and graduates get disappointed due to the inability of the graduates to get employed. This is partly because these graduates lack the necessary skills and qualifications required by the industry. Aware the present situation, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) initiated the conduct of Graduate Tracer Studies (GTS) among selected Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the country to obtain data that would show if HEIs are offering courses and are producing graduates that meet the needs of industry and society. Likewise, through GTS HEIs would be able to align their efforts with the manpower needs of industry and society (Mercado, 2010).

Higher education schools that are involved in developing human resources through long and short term programs have the duty to keep track of the performance of their graduates to determine the accountability and whether or not their programs have impacted on the individual, the institution, or the country.

Objectives of the Study This study aimed to trace down the status of the Engineering graduates of the College of Engineering of Naval State University from SY: 2005 – 2010. Specifically, it sought to answer the following statements: 1. To design a system about Graduate Tracer. 2. Determine the biographic profile of the graduates in terms of: 1.1 civil status; 1.3 gender; 1.4 region of origin; 1.5 province; 1.6 location of residence; 2. Determine the educational background of the engineering graduates in terms of: 2.1 degree and specialization; 2.2 college or university; and 2.3 year graduated. 3. Identify the training/advance studies attended after college. 4. Determine the employment data of the engineering graduates.

Framework of the Study We referred to theory and research in educational effectiveness and especially to the importance of establishing a framework which takes into account the goals for effective education and the relations of instruction from school and, its effectiveness applied to work. This study took hold of the following theoretical and conceptual framework as its main and solid foundation in the due course of its proceedings. Theoretical framework. This research is anchored on the theory “ladder effect” (Deville, 2008), which states that the net effect of the job competition or over education is for the unemployed skilled workers to apply for jobs in segments requiring qualifications than they have achieved. Conceptual framework. Conceptual framework of the study showed the variable that are at play in this GTS research. In this study, the independent variables are assumed to affect the dependent variables. The independent variables are the demographic profile of the respondents, their educational background and training/advance studies attended after college. The dependent variables are the employment data of the engineering graduates. The conceptual framework was roughly diagramed as follows:

Importance of the Study This study gives benefits and helpful hints on proposed measures to diminished the following beneficiaries: NSU-COE Staff. This study would be an effective way in promoting the Engineering Department to strengthen the distinctiveness of the students considering the evaluation, performance rating and outstanding accomplishments to produce more competitive graduates. They could likewise gain useful inputs to improve instructional practices that would ensure graduates steeped with knowledge and skills. Engineering students and researchers. They would have this study as their reference in making their own research study on Graduate Tracer Study. Graduates. This study was helpful in giving remembrance and outline of the graduates. This study will also give them the information of their profile, their educational background, training/advance studies attended and their employment data. Parents. This study was helpful for the parents to easily know the information about their graduated student/s. Administrators of the Departments of Engineering. The results can provide insights on how the curriculum could be improved to serve employability of its graduates.

Scope and Delimitation of the Study The study focused only to the College of Engineering Graduates of Naval State University from SY: 2003-04 to 2009-10.

This focused on the demographic profile, educational background, trainings and advance studies attended and employment of Engineering Graduates. The study will be confined to all the computer engineering graduates from SY 2003-2004 to 2009-2010. The University Registrar’s office will be the primary source of information in this study where reliable records of the graduates are kept.

Definition of Terms Graduate Tracer Study. Is a survey that attempts to trace the information and activities of the graduates of an educational institution. Trace. Follows the course or development of graduates of College of Engineering of Naval State University. Training. Practices taken by the graduates after college. Employment. Graduates’ act of employing or their state of being employed. Data. A collection of facts, statistics or item of information about the graduates of the College of Engineering of Naval State University.

Review of Related Literature This section presented the related literature and actual studies in relation to the study conducted. Tracer Study. Tracer studies serve as important tools within tertiary institutions, providing information for reflection to enhance future institutional development. The synergy between course structures and the working world is undergoing change at a rapid pace. To keep up to date with the demands of the work environment, course providers require the essential feedback from their previous students in order to encourage reflection and analysis of relevant course material

and/or the adaptation of courses on offer to make them more current, meaningful and worthwhile. The new paradigm for higher education stresses, among other things, the need for institutional autonomy with accountability. Higher education institutions need to be concerned with the ultimate disposition and success of their graduates in order to ensure that their educational products are consistent with both student and ultimately employer needs (National Higher Educational Institution, 2001). Employability Standards. According to Schomburg (2001), tracer studies of graduates of African Universities have been conducted in order to address the issue of work skills and high unemployment. From 1996-2000, a total of 15 tracer studies have been carried out in 7 African countries of approximately 8000 graduates, sponsored mainly by the Association of African Universities (AAU) study programme on Higher Education Management. Topics covered include: transition from higher education to work, job search, employment, and conditions, use of knowledge and skills, appropriate position and job satisfaction and retrospective assessment of study conditions. This tracer study identified the strengths and weaknesses of the methodological approaches used to trace the graduates and found that the transition from study to work is a process often marked by uncertainties and anxieties in different parts of the world. Another tracer study was conducted across 9 European countries from 19982000 with a sample of 3000 graduates. This study explored the relationship between higher education and employment four years after graduation. The comparison provided a good opportunity to examine the extent to which higher education and the world of work are similar or different among European and African countries.

Muhammad (2000, in Gewer, 2003) suggests that general education which prepares graduates broadly to respond to all kinds of situations should not be discarded. He also stresses that elaborate professionalization and vocationalisation should be reserved for the post-graduate’s training which should be expanded to adequately prepare graduate students to cope in any situation, be it professional or vocational. According to the findings of Calaustro’s study (1988) consisted of: a) 88 percent who were employed - 80.6 percent employed as teachers in the elementary and the high school level, and the rest of the graduates went into garment related industries existing in the region, and b) there was an expressed general satisfaction of the graduates on how the course blocks were taught except the last block which concerned power machine sewing operation or RTW production. Graduates with technical fields of specialization have better chances of getting employed within a shorter period of time after graduation (Dulay, 1987). Effectiveness and Quality of Educational Program. Quality education, according to Tobes (1993) depends to a large extent on the academic level of the teaching profession as an indication of the standard of education in the country. The success of vocational-technical education depends upon the possibility of providing instructors who have a common command of the special occupational content that they are to teach and who are also trained in the special pedagogy and teaching techniques required for their new form of education work. According to Calabarazon (1991) an effective educational program should not only result in the employability of its graduates, but also its effects should go into
