Senior High School Students’ Perception and Awareness on Agribusiness Degree Program

Abstract

Past studies have predominantly highlighted awareness within agricultural degree programs. Yet, limited research has explored the depth of knowledge regarding agribusiness degree programs. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the senior high school students’ perception and awareness on Agribusiness degree program.
The study employed a descriptive-correlational design among Grade 12 senior high school students from both public and private schools in M'lang, Cotabato. There were 304 students identified using convenience sampling. A survey questionnaire was utilized as a research instrument. Chi-square test for association and the point biserial were used for correlation. Frequency count and percentage distribution were used for descriptive data.
Data show that most respondents were well-informed about the program's details and perceived employment benefits. The null hypothesis was accepted for school, home background and occupation's relationship to awareness of the Agribusiness degree. However, the null hypothesis was rejected for sex, civil status, strand, and age in relation to awareness
