Management Skills and Learning Strategies among University of Southern Philippines Foundation Graduands

Abstract

Graduands in the Philippines are most likely pursuing education while working for their own merit in any workplace like schools, industries, and other companies. At University of Southern Philippines Foundations, graduands who are enrolled in educational management are not only concentrating on their quest for higher education but also for their desire to achieve promotion, stability, and prestige. Two hundred sixty-three (263) respondents answered the questionnaires on management skills and learning strategies and the results made an overall impression that these graduands are always in the loop of good management skills with motivating and communicating having aggregate means of 3.43 and 3.37 respectively with the same interpretation as always. Likewise, the result revealed that these graduands are using different learning strategies with a grand mean of 3.16 interpreted as agree. A significant relationship was established between management skills and learning strategies which rejected the statement of the null hypothesis. The higher the management skills of a graduand the higher and better is his or her learning strategies. It was concluded that though graduands are highly skillful in management, there is a need to improve their learning strategies. Thus, the researcher recommends L.E.A.P. or Learning Enhancement and Practice.
