ABSTRACT
Accountancy, Business and Management strand is a K-12 based
curriculum in senior high school and choosing a strand is one of the
most difficult decisions students must make. This study’s main
objective is to know the factors that influence students to choose the
ABM strand. It is quantitative in nature with the used of descriptive
statistics and correlation analysis to determine the demographic
profile of students and factors of influence and the theory that the
researchers anchored on, was the social cognitive career theory. By
the results, the researchers found out that personal interest is the
most influential factor in the decision-making of students.
Researchers thereby recommend that students should make an
informed decision before choosing a strand. Whereas, future
researchers can conduct further studies on the other factors that
influenced students in choosing a strand.
Keywords: senior high school, choosing a strand, personal interest,
descriptive statistics, and correlational analysis, social cognitive
career theory.
