Abstract:
The study focused on the lived experience of senior high school students of Colegio de San Juan de Letran Calamba from S.Y. 2016 to 2018. The objectives of the study were 1) to identify the lived experience in terms of demands and challenges from the perspective of selected senior high school students; and 2) to analyze how they cope with the demands and challenges that contribute to their lived experience. Focus group discussion among the eight participants from the different strands, bracketing, horizonalization, thematic analysis, and interpretative phenomenological analysis were employed during the conduct of the study. Results revealed that senior high school students of the Colegio treated K to 12 as an avenue for training and preparation that allowed them to think deliberately before entering college and helped them discover their potentials and capabilities for future endeavors. However, some of the participants look at K to 12 as demanding and challenging in terms of expenses and pressures from choosing the right strand. Nonetheless, they also feel fortunate with the help of R.A. 7722 which allows students to choose any course regardless of the strand taken in Senior High School. The problems pointed out were teachers’ deficiencies and paralleled expertise, overwhelming performance tasks and the multiple deadlines which contributed to their academic stress and learning process. It was noted that teamwork played a major role during their stay in the Colegio. Overall, the participants call to revisit and
further improve the curriculum for the next generation.
