 ABSTRACT

This study explores the how’s and why’s of the student who transfer to

the other schools; and how they overcome the challenges after transferring.

The said study aims to investigate and identify the transferee students’

experiences and struggles on every situation they face. The problems they

encountered, and how they deal and cope on such difficulties. This study used

a qualitative approach. It is a subjective report which made the utilization of

phenomenological way to deal with accumulating important information. The

method used in this study is the use of fish-bowl technique. Based on the

participants responses on their perceptions on transferee on transferee

students. The respondents confirmed that the reason why they transfer is

because they want to study here in the province, one of the forces that makes

it a challenge for the students. The findings show that the participants

encountered lack of money, no transportation budget and difficulty in

requirements issuance which make it a challenge for them. Moreover, it shows

that the effect of this to the students are: they are always late in class, sleepless,

and unable to make the necessary activities required for them to submit

because of financial support. The respondents suggest and recommend

students who want to transfer to give fast action on the issuance of the

requirements they needed to the school where they transfer.

 CHAPTER I

The Problem and It’s Setting

Background of the Study

Transferee students are a diverse and growing population that has been

previously neglected in both the literature and institutions of higher education.

Their characteristics lead to a qualitatively different students’ experience.

Drawing on interviews with across sectional sample of transfer students

perceived their social and academic engagement on the ways they engaged

academically and socially; and on the ways in which their perceptions of

engagement and their actual patterns of engagement affected their sense of

belongingness.

Due to these transferee students viewed social engagement in the

context of family and community. The findings have implications for how

campuses support transferee students and questions assumptions about some

engagement theories.

According to a study funded in community, high school students

transferring to a 6 years high school face a variety of challenges. Challenges

are defined as a difficult task or problem or something that is hard to do.

(Webster, 2014)

In 2010, the college Boards Advocacy and policy center with financial

support from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundations, initiated a project to

identify ways to improving the efficiency of transferring students.

In the Philippines, there is still further challenges lie in the improvement

of the quality of both the measurement instruments in specific fields hampers

the comparison of study results. It is in this light the purpose of this study to

determine whether transferring students the article is there fold to provide the

theoretical framework guiding the development the design of the discuss the

instrumentation and psychometric properties of the articulate the benefits and

also the relation of challenges of different grade level (high school) in Pilar

national Agricultural High School.

Research Questions

This study was focused on the challenges of transferring students with

in the locality.

The study sought to answer the following questions:

1. What are the factors that contribute to the transferring students of any

grade levels in High Schools?

2. What are the ways of transferring students?

3. What are the findings of the students?

Significance of the Study

This study will be able to contribute research based data and knowledge

on the possible relationship in any grade levels of the challenges of transferee

students.

Students – The result will provide the students with some information of

how transferee students overcome it. It will give students realization about it.

School – This study will help the school in creating a good strategy or an

idea to create or enrich the school programs.

 Future Researchers – This could serve as a baseline data for

researchers who wish to improve their own study. This may be used as a guide

for those who aim to emphasize the concepts of the study.

Scope and Limitation

This study was conducted in Barangay Pilar during the School Year

2022-2023. This is to understand the implementation of the voucher scheme

the privatization of school provision in the Philippines of diminishing and the

schools despite its initial equity focus the responses by schools segregation

and stratification dynamic between and within schools.

This study only limit to the respondents only studying in Pilar National

Agricultural High School. First because of the time limit, the research was

conducted with only few respondents, second if what saying the respondent is

that the final answer of your respondents that you write, and limitations in

transferring knowledge or information processing abilities influence decisions.

There could be something different in the experiences.

 CHAPTER II

Review of Related Literature

This chapter presents related studies after a thorough research done by the

researchers. This section shows relevant information provided by the different

sources to determine the transferring students of different grade levels in Pilar

National Agricultural High School. And to discuss the trends surrounding

transfers students. Also presented is a synthesis of research on transferee

students.

Related Literature

This literature and studies by other researchers and well-known authors were

cited to serve as the foundation of the research work. They were mentioned

because they have significant bearing on the study.

According to (Matthias Muller – Brochhausen, Mike Preuss, Ask e, 2021) The

idea of transfer in reinforcement learning (TRL) is intriguing being able to

transfer knowledge from one problem to another problem without learning. This

promises quicker learning and learning more complex methods. To gain an

insights into the field and to detect emerging trends, we performed a data base

search. We note a surprisingly late adoption of deep learning that starts in 2018.

The introduction of the deep learning has not yet solved the greatest challenge

of TRL. This study aimed to evaluate the extent to which year seven students,

teachers and teacher librarians, in Australian state schools would value

question formulation as an information literacy skills. It also aimed to evaluate

the extent to which these students would transfer question formulation across

subjects and across time. The study used a constructivist grounded theory

approach and data were analyzed.

According to (April Sutton, Chandra Muller and Amy G. Langenkamp) The

timing of a high school transfer may shape students transition to college through

its misalignment with the structure of the school year. A transfer that occurs

during the summer interrupts the six years high school career where as a

transfer that occurs midyear disrupts both six year high school career and

structure of the school year. Using the Educational longitudinal study of 2002

(ELS) , the investigators find that the penalty suffered after the transfer depends

on the degree to which student high school pathways synchronize with the

curricular and extracurricular structure of the school year. Midyear transfer

students (experience after their school move) appear to suffer the greatest

postsecondary matriculation penalty. Curricular and extracurricular disruptions

that transfer students experience after their school move explain some, but not

all, of the negative association observed between transferring and the transition

to college some recent efforts use knowledge distillation to compress these

models. However, we see a gap between the performances of the smaller

students models as compared to that the large teacher. In this work, we

leverage large amounts of in domain unlabeled transfer data in addition to a

limited amounts of labeled (transfer data in) training instances to bridge this gap

for distilling BERT. We show that simple RNN based student models even with

hard distillation can perform at par with the huge teachers given the transfer

set. The student performance can be further improved with soft distillation and
leveraging teacher intermediate representations. The idea of transfer in

reinforcement learning (TRL) is intriguing being able to transfer knowledge from

one problem to another problem with learning more complex methods. Transfer

between different domains works well when domains have strong similarities

and most TRL publications focus on different tasks within the some domain that

have few differences. Most TRL applications we encountered compare their

improvements against self-defined baselines, and the fields is still missing

unified benchmarks. This report is an overview of our work on transfer in

reinforcement learning is to speed up learning in a target task by transferring

knowledge from a related, previously learned source task. While many faculty

members consider knowledge of change processes and adaptability to be

important qualities, faculty response also indicate a clear need for guidance if

they are going to integrate new learning models and adequate coping strategies

into their work in higher education.

DEFINITION OF TERMS

Results and Discussion

This chapter has been formulated to answer the research the question

keeping the literature review and research findings from the interviews in

consideration. The findings and discussion will be organize according to the

research questions and interviews questions. This way, it will be easier to see

the patterns and direct responses from the informants.

RESEARCH QUESTION 1: What are the reasons of the students why did

transfer here?

The research questions tried to explore the reasons of students on the

challenges of transferee students. Based on the participants or respondents itis

confirmed that mother want of my two respondents to study here in province.

From the responses it can be inferred that the participants seemed to fully

understand the reasons behind challenges of transferee students.

When they were asked the reasons, the challenges of transferee students said

“Dahil malapit sa aming bahay”

“Because my mother want me to study here in province”

“Kasi walang kasama si lola”

“Kasi gusto ng mama ko”

Thematic Analysis of research question 1:

Key themes Want to study here in province.

RESEARCH QUESTION 2: What are the challenges encountered the

respondents in the school?

The second research question looked at transferee students the other school.

The findings showed that lack requirements, lack of transportation and lack of

money.

When they were asked the respondents what are the challenges encountered

mentioned:

“Merong mga hinihinging requirements na kailangan hingiin sa Manila so

nahirapan kaming ibigay ito sapagkat wala kaming mautusan sa Manila para

makuha yung mga requirements sa dating pinasukan na paaralan.

“Transprtation and sometimes money”

“Pagnagtatanim ay mainit”

“Pag-umuulan kasi wala akong paying”

Thematic Analysis of Research Question 2:

Difficulty in Requirements Issuance

No Transportation Budget
Key Themes
Lack of money
RESEARCH QUESTION 3: What are the effect for challenges of transferee

students?

The third research question looked at the effect of challenges of transferee

students. The findings showed that late of the classes, sleepless, not make the

all activity because lack of money.

When they were asked the effects of transferee students, the participants said:

“Nahuhuli sa pag pasoksa klase”

“Hindi nakakagawa lahat ng aralin dahil sa kakulangan ng pera”

“Nahuhuli sa klase dahil sa hindi tamang oras sa pag tulog”

“Puyat dahil kakalaro ng cellphone”

Late of the classes

Sleepless
Key Themes
They cannot make all the activities

because of lack of money.

.
RESEARCH QUESTION 4: What are the suggestions for students who are

transferee?

The last research questions intended to ask the participants their suggestions.

Among the suggestions are students must be first of all give an action for the

student who has lack of requirements and some of the respondents said the

right time to go the plot is 3:00 to 4:00 o’ clock.

When they were asked question about their suggestions for students who are

transferee students they mentioned:

“I suggest na dapat mag karoon ng action at para matulungan na makuha yung

mga kulang ng requirements at least hindi na mahirapan”

“I suggest that school must give an action for the student who has lack of

requirements”

“I suggest napag mag tanim ay dapat hindi mainit”

“I suggest na sana 3:00 to 4:o’clock ang tamang oras pag-punta sa plot”

Thematic Analysis of Research Question 4:

Must give an action

Key Themes The right time to go the plot is 3:00 to

4:00 o’clock
 CHAPTER V

Conclusion and Recommendation

Conclusion

Researches about challenges of transferee students are widely been

conducted in different grade levels but those researches lack of knowledge

about how they face their everyday lives and how they conquer problem they

encountered. This study will help to fully understand the experience of

transferee students. The results of the evidence drawn from a voluminous body

of sources show that the mother of my two respondents want to study here in

province is one of the most driving forces of transferee students. Some of

respondents showed that lack of money, lack of transportation and also lack of

requirements in addition respondents get the sleepless, late of the classes and

they cannot make the all activity it is because lack of money. Most of the

reasons of my respondents why students transfer the other school it is because

is not complete the classroom of every grade levels of student.

Recommendation

In this stage the researches are able to give recommendations to each

person who is involve in this study.

 To students - Will provide the student with some on transferee how they

overcome it. It will give the students realization about it.

 To school - This study will help the school in creating a good strategy or

an idea to create on enrich the school programs.

 To the future researchers - This could serve as a base line data for

researchers who wish to improve their own study.
