Abstract

This study explores the formal and non-formal ways of producing learner’s profile that aid in developing Individual Education Planning (IEP) which would best suit learners’ needs, interest, strengths and weaknesses, thereby leading them in having holistic development. This research employed a qualitative technique in doing research, which according to Creswell (2003) delves mainly on inquiry to produce responses and themes. Forty-one grade 11 learners in Accountancy, Business and Management (ABM) and General Academic Strand (GAS) of Talangan Integrated National High Schoool, Nagcarlan, Laguna became the respondents for this study. Three methods of acquiring profile that was introduced in this study are home visitation, use of learners’ cardex, and homeroom guidance program. After one semester of conducting the aforementioned activities, written interview with the learners were done. Seven themes for each of the three interventions were generated. Home visitation was seen as a channel of acquiring basic knowledge of learners’ situation at home. The use of learners’ cardex was revealed as a monitoring agent that guide learners towards accomplishing tasks or challenges. Homeroom guidance program was deemed as a way of nurturing learners in aspects of human development. Lastly, better academic performance was observed when these three activities were done. Recommendation to teachers, parents, school heads, curriculum developers, and future researchers were given at the end of the study.
