IMMERSION IN K to 12 The article made by Isagani Cruz of Philippine Star tackles about one of the major subjects of senior high school students in the Philippines and it is defined in the Department of Education Order No. 40, series of 2015 which is the Work Immersion. The work immersion is part of the Senior High School program of DepEd which the students need to have 80 hours of hands-on experience or work simulation and will undergo to expose them to the actual workplace setting and to enrich the competencies provided by the school under the supervision of the School Head and the designated personnel of the partner. Immersion is done outside the campus. The example of work immersion venues are offices, factories, shops and project sites. Immersion is one of the four options under “Work Immersion/ Research/ Career Advocacy/ Culminating Activity” or WRCC. The WRCC is the subject which the students in Academic Track are required to take the subject. In the other tracks, the school will decide depending on the subject. There are two things that show the word apprentice which can’t be used within the sports track. First, the

apprentice must already have finished high school, second, the apprentice must render at least 2,000 hours. The House of Representatives has approved a bill amending both RA 1826 and the labor code, but the equivalent Senate bill hasn’t yet been passed. Apprenticeship means training within an enterprise involving a contract between an apprentice and an enterprise on an approved apprenticeable occupation. The bill specifies that the TESDA supervise apprentices till today and not the DepEd. The other meaning of Immersion is a mode of delivery of Tech-Voc Subjects. FOUR LEVELS OF INQUIRY Inquiry means seeking or requesting for truth, information and knowledge. There are four levels of inquiry and these are Confirmation of Inquiry which means verifying concepts by following a procedure, second is Structured Inquiry which means following a procedure to find an answer, the third is Guided Inquiry which the teacher provides a question and students design an experiment to final answer, and the last one is, Open Inquiry which the students ask the question then find the answer.

INQUIRY BASED LEARNING Inquiry based learning is not a technique or a procedure per se, but it is a process that has the potential to increase the intellectual engagement and deep understanding of learners urging them to develop their questioning, research and communication skills, collaborate outside the classroom, solve problems, create solution, tackle real life questions and issues, and participate in the creation and amelioration of ideas and knowledge. 5 STEPS OF INQUIRY-BASED LEARNING There are steps in doing the inquiry-based learning, the first one is, ask questions, second is, probe into various situation, third is, conduct analyses and provide descriptions, fourth is, communicate findings, verbally or in writing, the last step is think about the information and knowledge obtained. GUIDED INQUIRY MAP The guided inquiry map is a methodology to facilitate web-based inquiry. The first thing to do is to make a concept or knowing. The second step is methodological, the process of doing what you have made in your concept. Since you already have the foundation in doing the inquiry, the next step is you should list or write words that they know or they may want to use to search for more information. Next is making a graphic organizer which you can use to

connect ideas to one another. Next step is you should make your hypothesis. After making a hypothesis, you will choose one or more websites to test your hypothesis and don’t forget to save the links. After you gather information, you need to summarize those by developing a table or graph. The last step is making conclusion, you will analyze your result by writing a short conclusion. INVESTIGATE TECHNIQUES / REPORT WRITING Investigation means to inquire a situation or problem thoroughly; examine systematically, esp. in order to discover the truth. There are techniques in investigation or writing a report. The researcher must know who was involved in the event. The researcher must know what was actually occurred during that event, what is the exact time and date of that event, the location, the reason for the occurrence, and lastly, how the event came to your attention. REPORT ORGANIZATION To be organized in making a report you should have introduction which includes the date and time, the location, people involved and what happened. You should have the body of report which tackles about the chronological narrative of what was exactly happened, witnesses names and interviews. Last is the last part

which is the conclusion this part is all about a brief summary of points that are not completely answered in the body of the report.

TIPS FOR CONDUCTIONG EFFECTIVE INTERVIEWS Interviews are particularly useful for getting the story behind a participant's experiences. The interviewer can pursue in-depth information around a topic. Interviews may be useful as follow-up to certain respondents to questionnaires, to further investigate their responses. Usually open-ended questions are asked during interviews. The preparation, remove extra distractions, such as computers, cellphones and files in the interview room. Create a comprehensive list of investigation interview questions. Question, you should begin by making a baseline by asking simple. Don’t ask leading questions that prompt for the answer you want. Ask yes or no questions at the end of the interview to pin down specific facts that were revealed during the interview. Objectivity, you should explain what is the reason of your interview; ask the subject to keep the interview confidential only if you have already established grounds for confidentiality.

Developments, if your interview is about a specific event, identify the five Ws: who, what, where, when and why. Proceed in chronological order to ensure nothing is missed. In summary, you should ask for clarification and more detail on any vague points. Get the witness to confirm any areas where you may have misheard or misinterpreted information. TOP 20 QUESTIONS TO ASK IN AN INVESTIGATION INTERVIEWS Many investigators make a list of predetermined questions to ask. Some experts say that this approach limits the information the investigator will get from the interview because it constrains the conversation within a rigid framework. Investigators who use pre-set questions only as a starting point and treat the interview as a fluid conversation are more likely to find their way to the truth. The basic questions are what happened? , where did it happen? , when did it happen? , and who did it? The context questions are has it happened before, how often? , who else was present? , do you know of others who may have been affected by the incident or behavior? , and who else may have seen or heard the incident or behavior? The reaction questions are how did you react? , how did any others present react? , did you ever indicate that you were upset or offended by the incident or

behavior? , have you discussed the incident or behavior with anyone? , and has anyone else reported this? The impact questions are how the incident has or behavior affected you? , how has the incident or behavior affected your job? , and have you sought medical treatment or counseling because of the incident? The additional questions are do you have any evidence or documentation about the incident or behavior? , is there anyone else who may have relevant information? , and is there any other relevant information that I haven’t asked you about? COMPUTER SYSTEM SERVICING SEMINAR Last February 14, 2018 we had our seminar regarding computer system servicing which we need for the National Certificate II of TESDA at the Institute of Technology, AVR. The seminar cost 350.00 PHP which is I think worth the price because mostly of the seminars cost more than one thousand pesos. The seminar taught us what the NC II all about, it consists of 4 COCs. The first or the COC 1 is about assembling the system unit which I know because we had our CSS last grade 11 and we studied about that. The speaker didn’t explain it very well because she was like, “we remove it and then we will assemble it again” she didn’t explain how the parts work. The COC 2 is about computer networking

which I think is more interesting, the speaker explains it well even though he jokes. The COC 3 is about making a bootable flash drive which the speaker explains very well. The Last COC or the COC 4 is about the RJ45, the speakers taught us how to arrange the RJ45 in the patch panel. All in all, I had fun with the last seminar I attended because they taught us new lessons and they even made us try what they are teaching so I think we just pay for the right amount....
