Abstract
This study investigated the awareness of 225 Grade 12 HUMSS students at Tanauan Institute, Inc. regarding guidance and counselling services. A descriptive survey design, utilizing a 60-item questionnaire, assessed awareness levels across academic, career, and personal/social guidance domains. The study also examined the influence of personal experience, peer influence, and school communication strategies on students' awareness. Results indicated high overall awareness, although specific areas within each guidance type showed varying levels of understanding. Personal experience and peer influence significantly correlated with higher awareness levels compared to school communication strategies. Significant relationships were found between awareness of guidance services and the influencing factors across all three guidance areas. These findings highlight the importance of leveraging personal experiences and peer influence while enhancing school communication strategies to improve student utilization of guidance and counselling services.
