Factors Influencing Senior High School Track and Strand Preference: A Guidance Initiative

Choosing the right senior high school track and strand is a crucial decision for Grade 10 students, as it significantly impacts their future academic and career paths. This study aimed to identify the factors influencing track and strand preferences among Grade 10 students in Pamplona Cluster III and to develop a career guidance program based on the findings. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, data were collected from 155 students through a self-designed questionnaire and analyzed using statistical tools such as percentage, frequency, weighted mean, and chi-square. The results indicate that most respondents are 14-15 years old, female, and from families with low monthly income. Students’ preferences are primarily influenced by their career aspirations and interests, followed by self-efficacy beliefs related to academic performance and perceived outcome expectations such as family influence, peer influence, job opportunities, and school offerings. While students consider employability and track availability, their primary motivation is aligning their chosen track with their career goals. Notably, demographic factors such as age, sex, and household income do not significantly impact their preferences. Based on these findings, the study proposes "Project CAREER," a structured career guidance program designed to help students make informed decisions about their academic and career paths. The study recommends the adoption of this initiative in Pamplona Cluster III schools, as well as further research at the division level to enhance career guidance policies and support student decision-making.

Good or bad? An Analysis of Social Media Participation in Family Relationships

The relationship between social networks and family relationships is an area that has been extensively researched worldwide. Research shows that excessive use of social media can disrupt face-to-face family interactions and weaken relationships. People who have a large number of online relationships may experience a substitution effect compared to face-to-face interactions. The study examines the role of social media in affecting family relations through the lens of uses and gratification theory by studying variables of social media use i.e Social Interaction, Information Seeking and Entertainment. This study examines how the use of social media has affected family relationships among students of Government College University Faisalabad (GCUF). Using a quantitative approach, the study surveyed 348 students and examined correlations between time spent on social media, devices used to access it, purpose of use, and family dynamics. The reliability analysis yielded a moderate Cronbach's alpha of 0.641. Correlation and ANOVA analyses showed that, although time spent on social media has a weak negative relationship with family relationships, the device used for social media (smartphone, tablet or computer) does not significantly influence family relationships. However, the purpose of social media was found to be an important factor: the use of social media for entertainment is correlated with a reduction in family relationships, while the social interactions and goals of information do not have any negative effect. These findings suggest that while device type and time spent on social media are not critical factors, the motivation behind social media use particularly influences family relationships and use for entertainment represents a potential challenge for family cohesion. To address these concerns, policymakers should encourage the development of digital literacy programs to teach families how to use social media responsibly, encourage platforms to develop features that enable meaningful communication and support parental guidance programs.

Субьективация смыслов взросления юношами и девушками

<p>The paper presents research materials that demonstrate the features of subjectivation of meanings in the perceptions of young men and women, based on their interpretation of artistic representations of adulthood. The study aimed to identify the characteristics of subjectivation of meanings in young people’s perceptions as an indicator of their maturation. The research involved a sample of 321 individuals 14–23 years old (M=18, SD=2.88) and utilized an original projective methodology ("Adulthood"), distinguishing it from conventional self-assessment questionnaires. Data analysis included Pearson’s chi-square contingency tables, cluster analysis, and clustering quality assessment via the Rand index. The results highlight that the maturation of young men and women in the modern world is a heterochronous process. By analyzing artistic depictions of adulthood in the classic film “The Prank” (1977) and the contemporary film “Sasha’s Country” (2022), three types of subjectivation of adulthood were identified. The study emphasizes the applicability of these typologies in educational practice and their relevance for educators and psychologists working with adolescents and young adults in life and career guidance programs.</p>

Tiered Accountability and Elements of an Effective Compliance Program Within High Reliability Organizations.

Tiered accountability and the seven elements of an effective compliance program provide a scalable framework for enterprise risk management within high reliability healthcare organizations (HROs). However, these elements do not self-assemble into a mature system. They must be intentionally built into an effective compliance program that assesses, controls, and manages risks at an ongoing enterprise level. This starts with good governance from the governing body and passes through the organization's chief executive officer into a psychologically safe, fair, and just culture that embraces imperfections as teaching moments. In an HRO, detected deviances from desired practices are seen as opportunities to embark on short excursions of self-improvement on the longer journey toward zero events of preventable harm.The Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) and the US Department of Justice (DOJ) have published regulations and guidance that require and encourage organizations to proactively manage risk, with tiered accountability written into the CMS hospital conditions of participation (COP) and strongly encouraged in the DOJ newly revised Compliance Program Guidance containing its seven essential elements of an effective compliance program. Both CMS and the DOJ utilize a mixture of incentives and consequences to incentivize proactive risk management and compel reactive risk reduction. In these toolboxes of incentives and consequences, proactive healthcare executives can find the standards and rules to engineer and build highly reliable enterprise risk management systems with tiered accountability and risk-based talent management that focus available resources on high-risk, high-volume, and problem-prone areas.
