Tracing DHVTSU BSED Mathematics Majors (2009-2016) |1
Chapter 1
The Problem and Its Background
In the past years, the Mathematics majors’ performance in the Licensure

Examination for Teachers has been so consistent. It has an almost 100% passing rate
since it was first established. The remarkable achievement of the Math majors has
inspired compliments and also, precipitated with higher expectations from Don Honorio
Ventura Technological State University (DHVTSU) community. There has been a notable
increase in the said course which started only with only few students during early years.
Furthermore, there is this gap being observed emphasizing the senior high school
students taking up math subjects which were customarily taken on the college years
before K-12 was implemented. They view these learners to be advanced in some ways
unlike the students who took their math subjects on their college years.
For emphasis, tracer study is actually the priority of the Commission on Higher
Education basically because through this the institution will be one of the beneficiaries.
Its main purpose is to help improve the curriculum to produce more quality graduates.
Tracer studies are important as a way of understanding the relevance and quality of
programs offered by the institution as well as the labor market. Tracer study is an
approach which widely being used in most organization especially in the educational
institutions to track and to keep record of their students once they have graduated from
the institution. A tracer study enables an institution to evaluate the quality of education
they have given to their graduates by knowing their engagements and positions in the
society which can be used later as a benchmark or standard in producing more qualified
and globally-competitive graduates. Tracer studies are important as a way of
understanding the relevance and quality of programs offered by the institutions as well as
the labor market. It has been found that tracer studies are the most important vehicle to
build strong bonds between the Alma Mater and the ever-increasing graduates.
Tracer Studies 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 (Millington, 2008). Guzman (2008)

advocated for the use of a graduate tracer study as an appropriate tool in determining
institutional capability in preparing graduates to meet the demands of the work place. The
graduate tracer studies involves the determination of graduates in the job search mode,
lead time and employment condition, where the knowledge acquired in schools are used
to work, in promotions, and job satisfaction.
Knowing the present activities of a person is very essential especially when it comes
to employment. Through tracing their state of affairs and whereabouts, an employer
would be able to make sure that his decision in hiring that person is right.
Tracer study is 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. (ILO, 2005)
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) notes that the graduates surveys are popular for “analysis of
the relationship between higher education and work.” They provide quantitative structural
data on the employment and career, the character of work and related competencies, and
information on the professional orientation and experiences of the graduates.
A tracer study conducted aimed to determine if the field of specialization in the

different colleges of Rizal Technological University graduates and their academic-
acquired skills and competencies are related to their present occupations. (Ramirez, Cruz,
Alcantara, 2014)
McIntosh (1984) “Employee Management Standards” aimed to determine that the
employee’s performance on the job and attitude about the job would depend on the
degree to which the manager fulfills the needs. He concluded that the association of the
employees’ performance and attitude towards the job were strongly affected by the
degree on where the superior may reach the fulfillment on the job desires.
Powers’ “Educating for Career” stated the notion that marketable skills provide
today’s crop of worker’s employment opportunities. He pointed out that education is very

important in having the marketability and general skills needed in finding an appropriate
job.
Verona (2007), “A Tracer Study of the Employment Status of PUPQC AY 2004-
2005”, determined the general profile and the present employment status of the
respondent which are the graduates of Polytechnic University of the Philippines year
2004-2005. This research tackles about the tracer study that uses a method in which
primarily intended to locate graduates of academic institution, past recipient of
scholarship grants, former participants and among other situation in order collect data and
update information about this type of people. This kind of study is also tool to generate or
influence decision making and planning of a certain institution about the development of
the curriculum. It is likewise regulating document efficiency and support on the
demographic profile of a certain institution that can be measure through the quality of
graduates.
In this study, the researchers focus on tracing the DHVTSU BSED Mathematics
Major graduates from 2009-2016 where in as per record no study was conducted
emphasizing or focusing on the said program.
Conceptual Framework

Chapter 2

Methods
Type of Research
This tracer study falls under descriptive research. The researchers will describe
the employability and productivity of DHVTSU BSED Mathematics Graduates batch
2009-2016. The researchers will find out the employability and productivity rate of their
respondents. Using this kind of research, the researchers can get their main goal and
obtain accurate information about the study.
Descriptive research is used to describe characteristics of a population or

phenomenon being studied. It does not answer questions about how/when/why the
characteristics occurred (Shields, Patricia). It is a type of research that provides a data
about the totality of a group or its population. It involves the recording description
analysis and representation of the present system, composition or processes of
phenomena. The purpose of the descriptive research is to describe, explain and validate
findings.
Respondents of the Study
This study will obtain data from the BSED Mathematics graduates of Don
Honorio Ventura Technological State University (DHVTSU, Bacolor, Pampanga). The
actual respondents will include a purposive sample from eight (8) batches (2009-2016)
who are 94 in total. Thus, the whole population will be our total number of respondents.
Sampling Technique Design

This study will use the homogeneous sampling under purposive sampling which
focuses on the candidates who will share similar traits or specific characteristics. These
are the graduates of Don Honorio Technological State University under the program
Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Mathematics for the year 2009-2016.
Non-probability sampling focuses on sampling techniques where the units that are
investigated are based on the judgment of the researcher. Purposive Sampling is when a
researcher chooses specific people within the population to use for a particular study or
research project. Unlike random sampling, which deliberately include a diverse cross
section of ages, backgrounds and cultures. The idea behind purposive sampling is to
concentrate on people with particular characteristics who will better be able to assist with
the relevant research.(Dudovskiy, 2011)
Instrument
This study will adapt a standardized Graduate Tracer Survey (GTS) questionnaire
from the Commission on Higher Education (CHED). The said questionnaire is divided
into four parts: General information, Educational Background, Training(s)/Advance
Studies Attended after College and Employment Data.
Data Gathering Procedure

Tracing DHVTSU BSED Mathematics Majors (2009-2016) | 10
The researchers will send a letter as a demand for permission to use the
standardized Graduate Tracer Study (GTS) questionnaire. The said questionnaire will be
given to Mathematics Major Graduates of DHVTSU from 2009-2016.In-person
distribution will be the primary choice of delivering the questionnaire. The researchers
will schedule a specific time to locate the respondents in their residences based on the
addresses from our obtained data from the University Registrar. The researchers will trace
the respondents with the use of Facebook messaging and through e-mails as well.
The researchers are expecting 60% retrieval rating of the distributed

questionnaires.
Data Analysis
In this descriptive study, the statistical treatment of data that will be used is
through percent and frequency method. This study will get the frequency of the
respondents’ demographic and employment profile. This will determine the frequency by
adding all the answer of therespondents to a certain question. The researchers will get the
percentage by dividing the frequency to the total numbers of respondents multiplied to
100% (frequency/total respondents x 100%).
