GRADE 12
Quarter 2 – Week 1: Decisive Person

Name of Student: _____________________________________ Section: _________

At the end of this session, you are expected to:

1. discuss how sound decision-making can contribute to success or
achievement; and
2. demonstrate ways on how to make sound decisions in the given
situations.

Introduction
In this session, you will learn the factors in effective decision-
making, the core values and self-efficacy being integrated.
Decision-making plays a vital role in the life of learners like you. It diverts you
from falling into the trap that you may regret later. It can both save you and
your career interest. The ability to distinguish between choice and needs
creates a great impact in your life.

Let’s Try This

Fortune on Wheels!
Read the paragraph below, then carefully study on what your decisions
would be if you were in the situation.
Your good deed of returning a case of jewelries and diamonds you
accidentally found on a public transport was rewarded by a rich
businessman. He gave you a huge amount of money that will surely change
your life. Your next move is to use the money wisely, and to make sure that
every move you make leads to promote common good.
In your HG Notebook, list down your expenditures. Consider the things
that you need and those that you wanted. However, in this time of pandemic,
what should be your priorities? Answer the processing questions below your
list.

Processing Questions:
1. Do you find it hard to come up with a decision? Why? Why not?
2. Who influenced your decision-making skills?
3. Are you happy with your decisions? Why?

3
 Keep in Mind

Decisiveness is displayed by firmness. It is a skill that you must

develop through time. It involves taking the courage to be
responsible for the consequences of your decision. To help you develop
decision-making skill, below are some of the practices of a decisive person:

✓ Collect relevant information. Get as much information as possible. It

is about exploring and discovering all the available options. Read, talk
to seniors and trusted persons, and visit credible websites to get valid
and reliable information. The first step will give you a good head start
and will guide you through arriving at a less risky but rather sound
decision.

✓ Write down pros and cons. Make columns and list down the doable
including its positive and negative effects.

✓ Imagine yourself sooner or later dealing on with the outcome of

your decisions. Think about what you’re doing and how you’re feeling.
Does it make you happy and fulfilled? Or does it make you regretful and
feeling a little empty? Of course, you must go with the positive outcome.

✓ Weigh in past decisions. Maybe you have read or heard about the
saying that “those who don’t understand history are doomed to repeat
it.” This is the exact reason why you should reflect and find out the
things that you should have considered and should not have
considered. Through pondering on past decisions, you will be able to
draw out effects that turned out well and those that did not turn out
very well.

✓ Be Ready and Brace Yourself. It’s good to be always prepped up with

the choices you’ll be faced with in your life; and get ready to bout with
upcoming challenges. Foresight is one skill that’s useful and
experiences you had in the past will also gear you up.

Remember: Making good choices begins with taking charge of the decision-
making process. There’s never a short-cut to achieving finer things in life.

You Can Do I t
You Decide!
Read the following statements. Carefully decide on the best thing to do when
faced with these situations. Write your answer in your HG notebook.

4
Statement 1: Two of your friends are having conflict and often disturb your
peace of mind. How would you handle this situation?
Statement 2: Describe a time you made an unpopular decision. How did you
handle the feedback? How would you have handled the situation differently?
Statement 3: Do you usually make better decisions alone or with a group?
Why? When do you ask for help?
Statement 4: In your experience, when you are working on a group project,
do you make the most decisions or do you prefer to step back and follow
someone else’s guidelines?
Statement 5: In areas under General Community Quarantine, many have
opened business establishments amidst the rising cases of Covid-19.
However, health protocols are being implemented to ensure public safety so
that usual business transactions continue. Our economy is badly affected by
this worldwide health crisis, but life moves on, citizens are caught in between
working for a living or staying at home for safety health reasons. What is your
stand on this?

Processing Questions:
1. In deciding, what are the things that you need to consider?
2. Who are the people that mostly influence your decisions? Why?
3. Does this pandemic situation somehow affect your decision-making? How?

What I have Learned

In choosing your career, apply the practices of a decisive person.

2. appreciate the significant others that influence you in decision-
making.

Introduction
In the last session, you learned about the factors to consider in
decision-making. You have tried to apply it in making decisions for
your career to pursue. In some sense, you already have developed certain
skills that you need to make decisions on your own. As you go through life,
you will be confronted with so many decisions to make, it may be simple or
complicated. Luckily, there are people or institutions who may be of help to
you or might positively influence you in making sound decisions. So, let’s get

 HOMEROOM GUIDANCE (HG) LEARNING ACTIVITY SHEET (LAS) FOR
GRADE 12
Quarter 2 – Week 5: Entering the Exits

Name of Student: _____________________________________ Section: _________

At the end of this session, you are expected to:

1. determine preferred life and career on chosen curriculum exit; and
2. appreciate the chosen life, career, and curriculum exit based on
one’s interest and personality type.

Introduction
This session will help you determine your life and career based on
chosen curriculum exit. It is expected that you will appreciate
chosen life, career and curriculum exit based on your interests and
personality type. The title “Entering the Exits” means entering a curriculum
exit after Grade 12. You will have to choose whether to proceed to college, do
business, look for a job, or develop the desired middle-level skills.

Keep in Mind
Helping people make career decisions have been fundamental to
counseling psychology since its emergence as a profession, and it
continues to be central to its identity today (Gelso & Fretz, 2001, as cited in
Journal of Counseling Psychology, 2010).

After acquiring all the knowledge, skills, and attitude and being aware
of your interests and personality types. You will now choose the curriculum
exit you will pursue after senior high school. You may choose to work
immediately since you are of legal age and have the competencies to perform
a specific job, or to pursue a business so you can start to earn money. You
may also proceed to higher education and pursue a degree course or take up
any Technical Education and Skills Development Authority (TESDA) courses
for middle-level skills development.

Employment. Aa a senior high school graduate you can now work after
senior high school. Check the Public Employment Service Office (PESO) in
your locality for possible job vacancies, or you can browse in the Department
of Labor and Employment website, www.ble.dole.gov.ph for possible local
employment.

Entrepreneurship. As senior high school graduate who may want to

pursue the entrepreneurial exit will have to consider many things. You must

10
be cautious lest you end up losing money invested in the business. The
Philippine Business Industry (as cited in
http://www.biznewsph.com/p/business-ideas-in-philippines.html, 2012)
has come up with a list of ideas where prospective entrepreneurs can start
and grow their own business in the Philippines. (See Appendix 3: List of
Business Ideas in the Philippines.).

Higher Education. As Senior High School graduates who would want

to pursue a degree course in higher education may directly inquire at any
colleges and universities in your area. You may also inquire at
www.ched.gov.ph, the official website of the Commission on Higher Education
(CHED) for the recognized programs of schools per region.

Middle-Level Skills Development. Senior high school learners may

pursue middle-level skills development after finishing a specific track and
strand in senior high school. You may inquire at your local TESDA offices for
the courses offered in your locality. After finishing a Technical Vocational
Livelihood Track and earned a National Certification Level II, you may apply
for a higher level of national certification if you opt to.

Senior high school graduates may go to any curriculum exit regardless

of the SHS track they took. If a learner took up a TVL Track, he/she can still
enroll in college to pursue higher education. Moreover, after entering a specific
exit, any SHS graduate may proceed to another exit. For example, a graduate
who chooses to pursue higher education and gets employed after graduation
may enter a business or pursue middle-level skills development while
employed.

Nonetheless, whatever curriculum exit senior high school graduates

pursue is their own decision. They only must maximize their talents and
resources to be successful. As what author and speaker Mack R. Douglas
said, “You are responsible for everything you do.

You Can Do It
My Plan to Exit

Instructions: Copy the template in your HG Notebook. Write your

occupational interest based on your preference and plan after senior high
school. Refer to the examples provided below.
1. In the first column, write your current SHS Track and Strand
2. In the second column, write your specific Career/Profession/Job
3. In the third column (Employment), write your preferred kind/nature of
work if you plan to proceed to this exit and indicate when.

plan to proceed to this exit and indicate when.
6. In the sixth column (Middle-Level Skills Development), put the specific
skilled courses if you plan to proceed to this exit and indicate when.

Note: This activity emphasizes that senior high school graduates may go to any
curriculum exit regardless of the SHS track they took. Moreover, after entering
a specific exit, the SHS graduates may pursue another exit.

GRADE 12
Quarter 2 – Week 6: Discovering the C’s

Name of Student: _____________________________________ Section: _________

At the end of this session, you are expected to:

1. identify the different lifelong skills that respond to the changing
nature of work;
2. relate academic achievement to life and career success; and
3. express appreciation on the relationship of academic achievement
to life and career success.

Introduction
In this session, you will learn the relationship of academic
achievement to life and career success. This lesson will encourage you to
strive harder in pursuing your respective track and strand, and consequently
improve your academic standing. The lesson is also designed for you to utilize
the Labor Market Information (LMI) for various job opportunities. Finally, you
will be able to identify the seven Cs of lifelong skills that will prepare you to
meet both the occupational changes and changing individual needs associated
with life and career. So, let us now open the door and explore the Cs of life
and career!

Let’s Explore This

Labor Market Information (LMI) provides timely relevant and

accurate signals on the current labor market such as in-demand
jobs and skills shortages by developing client-specific LMI, Education
and Communication materials. The material is part of the commitment
of the DOLE to support the Career Guidance Advocacy Program – a
convergence program under the Human Development and Poverty
reduction cluster which seeks to promote career guidance as tool in
assisting jobseekers particularly students in making informed career
choices (https://www.dole.gov.ph/about-lmi/).

 Keep in Mind
The Changing Nature of Work
With the rapid pace of technological advances in the global labor
market, various occupations are continually being created. These demands
open doors to numerous job opportunities today and in the future.
In an article from the Society of Human Resource Management (2013),
five global trends affect the future of the global labor workforce:
Technology. In a highly digitized and connected world mainly driven
by smart devices, work is no longer limited to reporting to the office. On-line
jobs can be done at home.
Outsourcing. Today more than ever, companies try to cut on cost and
save resources. One practice by which they can do these is by outsourcing.
Outsourcing is getting portions of work done through outside suppliers rather
than completing it internally. The call center industry is an example of an
outsourcing practice that continues to expand in the country.
Changing workers’ attitude and values. Different generations exhibit
different qualities, attitudes, and values. Recent years have focused on
striking a balance between work and life. Workers need to love their work but
should have other interests outside the office, too.
Demographics and diversity. With better medical care, people are
living longer, and life expectancy increases. In the next 10 years, five
generations―traditionalists, Boomers, Gen X, Gen Y, and Gen Z―will be
working together. Different generations must be able to capitalize on their
tools while working harmoniously with one another.
Globalization. Companies are extending their businesses on an
international scale. Some companies are on a 24-hour operation scheme to
meet the demands of their clients and the global market. The dispersion of
work geographically makes it possible to get work done.

18
 Seven C’s of Lifelong Skills

These skills will guide you in adapting the ever-changing demands of

life and work. Let us look at each one of them:
Critical Thinking and Doing. This skill requires you to look at a
problem with “discerning eyes.” You should be able to see the flaws and errors
and decide on a solution. In a myriad of information, you must develop this
skill of discriminating what is important and relevant. This entails research,
analysis, and decision-making. Application completes the steps. You need to
follow calculated steps and manage the implementation of your decision.
Creativity. Successfully turning new and imaginative ideas into reality
is needed to create and design best fit solutions. This includes innovation that
generates unique products and services or even new ways of doing things.
Collaboration. No one lives and survives alone. You need to engage and
work with others to survive. Empathy which is putting yourself in other
people’s shoes is needed for understanding. Compromising and community
building can only be achieved by looking at someone else’s perspective and
situation as well.
Cross-Cultural Understanding. Every day, millions of people around
the globe travel for education, leisure, business, and profession. Keeping
yourself level-headed and respectful of the many differences among cultures
will enable you to live peacefully with the peoples of the world.
Communication. You are not only communicating to be understood
but also in order not to be misunderstood. Therefore, another skill that must
be developed is your ability to craft ideas and messages and deliver them in a
manner that is clear and purposeful.
Computing/ICT Literacy. Effective use of digital devices will enable
you to communicate, collaborate, and advocate. You must keep yourself
abreast with the many advances in the technology to keep yourself relevant.
Career and Learning Self-Reliance. Throughout your life you must be
able to grow, redefine, and reinvent yourself. This means being able to develop
yourself by managing change and adapting to it. Just like what Heraclitus
said, “The only thing that is constant is change.”

Keep in Mind
In choosing a career, it is essential to first acquire substantial
information about the different courses to come up with a valid and
well-thought of decision. Laying down all possibilities and considering several
prospects would result in a more advantageous, attainable, and viable career
path.

Sources of Information
Schools’ Guidance Office A school’s guidance office is managed primarily by
a Registered Guidance Counselor (RGC) as mandated by RA 9258, who
implements a Career Guidance Program that provides career counseling to
both individuals and groups; administers and interprets career tests; and
provides other services such as referral, placement, research, information,
and orientation.

Department of Labor and Employment

The Department of Labor and Employment (DOLE) is a national government

agency that envisions that every Filipino worker attains full, decent, and
productive employment. It formulates policies and implements labor laws and
labor-related legislations to promote gainful employment opportunities,
develop human resources, protect workers, and promote their welfare, and
maintain industrial peace.

DOLE has different bureaus addressing specific concerns on labor.

They include the Bureau of Local Employment, Labor Relations, Workers with
Special Concerns, Working Conditions, International Labor Affairs, regional
offices, and the Philippine Overseas Labor Offices.

23
Bureau of Local Employment
The Bureau of Local Employment (BLE) develops policies, research,
labor market analysis, strategies, programs, projects, operating guidelines,
and standards, and provides advisory relative to local employment promotion
and administration.

Programs/Projects of the Bureau

Project JobsFit—The DOLE 2020 Vision or Project JobsFit is the forerunner

of the Department of Labor and Employment’s priority deliverable projects for
2009. This forward-looking activity was based on research, information
gathering, and networking with key stakeholders. It was carried out as part
of DOLE’s firm resolve to adopt coherent and innovative strategies to carry
out its mandate in providing efficient employment facilitation services and
respond to the prevailing skill and job mismatch underlying the
unemployment and underemployment problems in the country.

Labor Market Information―The Project JobsFit resulted in the formulation

of the Labor Market Information (LMI) which provides timely, relevant, and
accurate signals on the current labor market such as in demand jobs and
skills shortages by developing client-specific LMI education and
communication materials. The material is part of the commitment of DOLE to
support the Career Guidance Advocacy Program which seeks to promote
career guidance as tool in assisting jobseekers particularly students in
making informed career choices.

Philjobnet—Philjobnet is an automated job and applicant matching system

which aims to fast-track jobseekers search for jobs and employers search for
human resource. It can be accessed through www.phil-job.net. The Bureau of
Local Employment can be reached through its website: www.ble.dole.gov.ph/.
