INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

A tracer study is a graduate or alumni survey that attempts to trace the

activities of the graduates or previous students of an educational institution

(Millington, n.d.). The Association of African Universities or AAU (2002), and Boaduo,

Mensah and Babitseng (2009), explain that tracer studies enable the

contextualization of graduates of a particular university through a system that is

dynamic and reliable in order to determine their life path or movement. It also enables

the evaluation of the results of the education and training provided by a particular

institution and examines and evaluates the current and future career and employment

opportunities/ prospects of graduates (Boaduo, Mensah and Babitseng, 2009).

Graduates job titles, years of employment, nature of employment, income levels, and

biographical data can be revealed through tracer studies (Schomburg, 2009).

The ILO Thesaurus 2005 defines a tracer study as an impact assessment tool

where the impact on target groups is traced back to specific elements of a project or

program so that effective and ineffective project components may be identified. In

educational research the tracer study is sometimes referred to as a graduate or

alumni survey since its target group is former students. Schomburg (2003, p.36) notes

that graduate surveys are popular for analysis of the relationship between higher

education and work. They provide quantitative-structural data on employment and

career, the character of work and related competencies, and information on the

professional orientation and experiences of their graduates.

2In South Africa, Stilwell (2004) conducted a survey of alumni perceptions of

the postgraduate ILS (Information and Library Science programmed at the University

of Natal). Critical issues, such as balancing the human centered approach with IT,

were identified. The findings of the study indicated that the programmed achieved its

outcomes because it prepared alumni well for the work place. Ochollas (2001) tracer

study of LIS graduates from 1996 - 1997 determined whether the skills and attitudes

they gained during their training at the University of Zululand applied in their jobs. The

results of the study indicate that graduates obtained sufficient knowledge from the

degree programmed (Shongwe and Ocholla, 2009).

Perhaps the most important of college education is employment. Most parents

send their children to college with the hope that after graduation their children will find

a decent and stable job. This holds true and especially among Filipino parents who

look at the value of college education as the most important legacy they can give their

children and as most effective mean of getting a job that would help build the future

of their children. However, with the present quality of education and the pressing

demand of the workforce industry, many parents and graduates get disappointed due

to the inability of the graduates to get employed. This is partly because these

graduates lack the necessary skills and qualifications required by the industry. Aware

the present situation, the Commission on Higher Education (CHED) initiated the

conduct of Graduate Tracer Studies (GTS) among selected Higher Education

Institutions (HEIs) in the country to obtain data that would show if HEIs are offering

courses and are producing graduates that meet the needs of industry and society.

Likewise, through GTS HEIs would be able to align their efforts with the manpower

needs of industry and society (Mercado, 2010).

3Higher education schools that are involved in developing human resources

through long and short term programs have the duty to keep track of the performance

of their graduates to determine the accountability and whether or not their programs

have impacted on the individual, the institution, or the country.

Objectives of the Study

This study aimed to trace down the status of the Engineering graduates of the

College of Engineering of Naval State University from SY: 2005 2010.

Specifically, it sought to answer the following statements:

1. To design a system about Graduate Tracer.

2. Determine the biographic profile of the graduates in terms of:

1.1 civil status;

1.3 gender;

1.4 region of origin;

1.5 province;

1.6 location of residence;

2. Determine the educational background of the engineering graduates in terms

of:

2.1 degree and specialization;

2.2 college or university; and

2.3 year graduated.

3. Identify the training/advance studies attended after college.

4. Determine the employment data of the engineering graduates.

4Framework of the Study

We referred to theory and research in educational effectiveness and especially

to the importance of establishing a framework which takes into account the goals for

effective education and the relations of instruction from school and, its effectiveness

applied to work.

This study took hold of the following theoretical and conceptual framework as

its main and solid foundation in the due course of its proceedings.

Theoretical framework. This research is anchored on the theory ladder effect

(Deville, 2008), which states that the net effect of the job competition or over

education is for the unemployed skilled workers to apply for jobs in segments

requiring qualifications than they have achieved.

Conceptual framework. Conceptual framework of the study showed the

variable that are at play in this GTS research. In this study, the independent variables

are assumed to affect the dependent variables. The independent variables are the

demographic profile of the respondents, their educational background and

training/advance studies attended after college. The dependent variables are the

employment data of the engineering graduates.

The conceptual framework was roughly diagramed as follows:

6Importance of the Study

This study gives benefits and helpful hints on proposed measures to

diminished the following beneficiaries:

NSU-COE Staff. This study would be an effective way in promoting the

Engineering Department to strengthen the distinctiveness of the students considering

the evaluation, performance rating and outstanding accomplishments to produce

more competitive graduates. They could likewise gain useful inputs to improve

instructional practices that would ensure graduates steeped with knowledge and

skills.

Engineering students and researchers. They would have this study as their

reference in making their own research study on Graduate Tracer Study.

Graduates. This study was helpful in giving remembrance and outline of the

graduates. This study will also give them the information of their profile, their

educational background, training/advance studies attended and their employment

data.

Parents. This study was helpful for the parents to easily know the information

about their graduated student/s.

Administrators of the Departments of Engineering. The results can provide

insights on how the curriculum could be improved to serve employability of its

graduates.

Scope and Delimitation of the Study

The study focused only to the College of Engineering Graduates of Naval State

University from SY: 2003-04 to 2009-10.

7This focused on the demographic profile, educational background, trainings

and advance studies attended and employment of Engineering Graduates. The study

will be confined to all the computer engineering graduates from SY 2003-2004 to

2009-2010. The University Registrars office will be the primary source of information

in this study where reliable records of the graduates are kept.

Review of Related Literature

This section presented the related literature and actual studies in relation to

the study conducted.

Tracer Study. Tracer studies serve as important tools within tertiary

institutions, providing information for reflection to enhance future institutional

development. The synergy between course structures and the working world is

undergoing change at a rapid pace. To keep up to date with the demands of the work

environment, course providers require the essential feedback from their previous

students in order to encourage reflection and analysis of relevant course material

8and/or the adaptation of courses on offer to make them more current, meaningful and

worthwhile. The new paradigm for higher education stresses, among other things, the

need for institutional autonomy with accountability. Higher education institutions need

to be concerned with the ultimate disposition and success of their graduates in order

to ensure that their educational products are consistent with both student and

ultimately employer needs (National Higher Educational Institution, 2001).

Employability Standards. According to Schomburg (2001), tracer studies of

graduates of African Universities have been conducted in order to address the issue

of work skills and high unemployment. From 1996-2000, a total of 15 tracer studies

have been carried out in 7 African countries of approximately 8000 graduates,

sponsored mainly by the Association of African Universities (AAU) study programme

on Higher Education Management. Topics covered include: transition from higher

education to work, job search, employment, and conditions, use of knowledge and

skills, appropriate position and job satisfaction and retrospective assessment of study

conditions. This tracer study identified the strengths and weaknesses of the

methodological approaches used to trace the graduates and found that the transition

from study to work is a process often marked by uncertainties and anxieties in

different parts of the world.

Another tracer study was conducted across 9 European countries from 1998-

2000 with a sample of 3000 graduates. This study explored the relationship between

higher education and employment four years after graduation. The comparison

provided a good opportunity to examine the extent to which higher education and the

world of work are similar or different among European and African countries.

9Muhammad (2000, in Gewer, 2003) suggests that general education which

prepares graduates broadly to respond to all kinds of situations should not be

discarded. He also stresses that elaborate professionalization and vocationalisation

should be reserved for the post-graduates training which should be expanded to

adequately prepare graduate students to cope in any situation, be it professional or

vocational.

According to the findings of Calaustros study (1988) consisted of: a) 88

percent who were employed - 80.6 percent employed as teachers in the elementary

and the high school level, and the rest of the graduates went into garment related

industries existing in the region, and b) there was an expressed general satisfaction

of the graduates on how the course blocks were taught except the last block which

concerned power machine sewing operation or RTW production. Graduates with

technical fields of specialization have better chances of getting employed within a

shorter period of time after graduation (Dulay, 1987).

Effectiveness and Quality of Educational Program. Quality education,

according to Tobes (1993) depends to a large extent on the academic level of the

teaching profession as an indication of the standard of education in the country. The

success of vocational-technical education depends upon the possibility of providing

instructors who have a common command of the special occupational content that

they are to teach and who are also trained in the special pedagogy and teaching

techniques required for their new form of education work.

According to Calabarazon (1991) an effective educational program should not

only result in the employability of its graduates, but also its effects should go into

10

productivity for the output has more direct relation to the economic development of

the nation.

2. User should be able to view the educational background of the engineering

graduates in terms of: educational attainment, professional examination(s)

passed and reasons for taking the course/pursuing the degree;

3. User should be able to view the training/advance studies attended after

college;

4. User should be able to view the employment data of the engineering

graduates;

System Design. The Project Development Team creates a design for

functionality, including database design, webpage interface, tags and codings to be

use. For this paper, the project development team used Hypertext Mark-up Language

(HTML) for screen design and layout and used PHP in generating the server.

Structure Query Language (SQL) has also been used in making tables and database

design for the system.

13

Implementation. The Project Development Team programmers had

implemented the requirements using the hardware, software and data being taken for

the proceedings of the system design.
