PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
This chapter presents the introduction, the background, the statement of the
problem, the objectives of the study, the significance of the study, the scope and
limitations, the conceptual framework, definition of terms, and the hypothesis.
Introduction
High School transfer students are those who move from one school to another for reason
other than promotion. Nicodemus (2021) found that Junior High school students moving up
to Senior High School is commonly known that developments can give rise to intense
stress, suffering and by a large test for any individuals. Lacking the experience to imagine
what life may resemble later on. These require a change in a person's behaviour and
associations with their current circumstance just as individuals around them.
Transition happen for the duration of our lives and these key occasions can result to
elevated amounts of confusion and uneasiness. The effects on transitioning have received
considerable attention, it has been suggested that due to lack of experiences of student
being transferred in another school they experience new environment, new classroom and
due to that it answer how do transferred in student develop their self confidence to deal
with others Alferez (2018). Fernandez (2018) observed that to further explore the
understanding of personal and social transitions. It is significant to understand how
“transfer shock” influences adjustment for a transfer student found that this type of shock
may result in grades dropping and diminished self-perception. Negative self-perception
may lead to low self-esteem that, in turn, may be detrimental to one’s academic
experience. Nicodemus (2021) emphasized that these require a change in a person's

ALFONSO, CAVITE
behavior and associations with their current circumstance just as individuals around them
by taking into account factors that affect career path choosing. It has been also suggested
that as more transfer students make their way into higher education, it is significant that
higher education professionals understand the transfer experience so that they can provide
the right tools for transfer students to academically succeed.
Background
This study assists schools in developing or upgrading the quality of career guidance and
counselling they offer to their students. In addition, the researchers would like to explore
about the participants' cultural adaptability, personal benefit, and spiritual considerations
that the participants experienced as they transitioned from Junior High School at other
schools to Senior High School at Alfonso Integrated High School. The researchers would
also like to explore the relevant research on transfer student experiences to ultimately offer
suggestions for transferred in students that can provide success interventions to better
support a smooth transition. The researchers are interested to inspire students in the
following year to continue attending their current school. Such phenomenon on the state of
behavior, or perspective of student on senior high school program caught the interest of the
researchers to investigate their change encounters during their transition from junior high
school to senior high school.
Thus, the researchers would like to further study the lived experience of the Grade 11
transferred in students.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
The process of transferring from one institution to another is becoming increasingly more
common, and along with an increasing number of transfer students has come reports of
academic and personal struggles as well as feelings of isolation. According to (Fernandez,
2018), as more transfer students make their way into higher education, it is significant that
higher education professionals understand the transfer experience so that they can provide
the right tools for transfer students to academically succeed.
Our lives are full of transition, and these significant events can cause increased levels of
bewilderment and unease. It is well known that technological advancements may be a
major source of stress, suffering, and generally a test for anyone. Unable to envision what
life might look like in the future. They necessitate a shift in an individual's behaviour and
affiliations with their present situation, just as people around them do. While (Fillmore
2022) points out that it has been urged that educators around the world make a variety of
changes to their various educational systems in order to address the educational
preparation for the next generation of learners. However, even when transfer students do
well academically, they may not be socially or psychologically prepared for the transition.
Personal traits of the students have an effect on the transfer experience as well.
Sometimes, motivation, adaption, and perceptions are more significant than cognitive
abilities Alferez et. al (2018). Guinoran et. al (2019) emphasizes that transitioning to a new
institution will be more challenging for students who have a low sense of their own worth.

TRANSITION
A similar person may react differently to different types of changes or may react differently
to a similar type of progress at various points in their life. Advances are events or non-
events that cause changes in an individual's perception of himself or herself or of the world,
which explain another example of direct that could be incredible.
TRANFEREE
Transfer students exhibit a great range of diversity in terms of age, race, socioeconomic
status, and previous educational experience. If a student decides to transfer to a new
institution, they may run into administrative roadblocks, ambiguous transfer policies and
procedures, and insufficient support services that prevent a smooth and effective move
Nicodemus (2021). Transfer students face a number of barriers in the process of
transitioning to a new institution. This section of the paper examines the literature for
recommendations on how best to assist transfer students in their transition, both before
they arrive, and once they enroll at the new institution Fernandez (2018).
TRANSFER SHOCK
To further explore the understanding of personal and social transitions, it is significant to
understand how “transfer shock” influences adjustment for a transfer student. Fernandez
(2018) found that this kind of shock may cause grades to plummet and self-perception to
suffer. Low self-esteem brought on by a negative self-perception may have a negative
impact on one's academic performance. The study indicated that academic adjustment is a
major factor impeding a transfer student's success in addition to highlighting that academic
ALFONSO, CAVITE
readiness is an indicator that impacts transfer shock. This section of the paper examines
the literature for recommendations on how best to assist transfer students in their
transition, both before they arrive, and once they enroll at the new institution.
ADAPTATION
Individuals' adaptation to a transition is determined by how they perceive their transition's
balance of resources to deficits, their sense of competency, their sense of well-being, and
their sense of health Schlossberg (1981). Schlossberg used the agony of two ladies as an
illustration from slipped discs in the spine. The condition was uncomfortable, debilitating,
an psychologically upsetting, however both parties could get the issue fixed women. The
first woman had enough resources (a tenured post, a supportive family, friends, and
network of coworkers, and she was largely a cope) to make up for the deficiency in her
well-being. The next woman had few resources at this time (she recently underwent a
double mastectomy, which left her with little real 17 endurance and confidence, she
recently got divorced, works as a potter, which makes her career difficult due of her horrible
back, and she was a regular coper). The second lady's deficiencies outweighed her
resources, making transformation challenging. Variety also depends on how similar or
unlike one's beliefs about oneself and the environment are, therefore it's important to
consider how much change a person perceives.
EDUCATIONAL SYSTEM
The approval of the K to 12 Law also known as RA 10533 on May 15, 2013, kindergarten
and Grade 11 and 12 are now requirements of basic education in the Philippines. The
enactment of RA 10533 otherwise known as the Enhanced Basic Education Act of 2013
sealed the full implementation of the K to 12 curriculum which started to roll out in June
ALFONSO, CAVITE
2012. The Declaration of Policy 12 of RA 10533 states that “The State shall establish,
maintain and support a complete, adequate and integrated system of education relevant to
the needs of. It is a quality ensured public system for the progression, affirmation and
award of capacities reliant upon checks of data, capacities and characteristics acquired
differently and techniques by understudies and workers of a particular country, the action

Synthesis
In previous studies, there are positive and negative effects of being a transferred in
student. Based in the study of 2019 there is a positive effects on studying at different
schools such as: Can experience new environment, having many friends, the teachers has
unique strategies in teaching their students. Likewise, it is supported with the study of
Quirimo et. al (2019), However, it is also stated the negative effects that the students may
encounter: Can experience bullying, Bad Influence, and Adjustment to the new
environment. Therefore, in these current undertakings, the researchers would like to test
about the current research settings. Based on the observation, it seems that there are
more negative effects of transitioning into another institution. In this current study, the
researcher’s aims to explore the lived experiences of Grade 11 Transferred in Students of
Alfonso Integrated High School, to uncover the challenges encountered by the participants,
to reveal how they handle the difficulties they face while studying at Alfonso Integrated
High School.

Theoretical Framework
Schlossberg’s Transition Theory
According to Schlossberg “ways to make decisions and think about how to interpret
individuals, environments, and organizations, not to dictate a single explanation”
(Fernandez 2022). When experiencing transitions, people experience the phases moving
in, moving through, and moving out. Schlossberg (1981) examined the difficulties
individuals face when transitioning to new environments. For college transfer students, they
experience the first phases through transferring and becoming act “Transition Theory” and
is a notable and regarded expert. Schlossberg’s Transition Theory presents factors related
to transition, the individual, and the environment to determine the degree of impact the
ALFONSO, CAVITE
transition has on the individual at a particular limited through coursework. The Transition
Theory is based on the 4S’s—a system designed to assist individuals in understanding
change. This system is often referred to as “taking stock”. The taking stock process
involves determining an individual’s resources, i.e. “your situation, your supports, yourself,
and your strategies” Schlossberg (2011) stated that these four factors could help explain
why individuals act differently, even though they experience the same transition. Because
transition may be difficult for some individuals, how an individual manages change
depends on the resources that are available to the person at that time. Therefore, in order
to understand how transfer students cope with change, it is critical to view their educational
process through this “4S’s” model lens. When examining the first “S”, an individual's
situation, focused on the implications that caused the transition such as, for example, any
stresses that could trigger during the time of the transition (Schlossberg, 2011). The
second “S”, refers to the self, which speaks to a person’s condition during the time of
transition and how one's personal, demographic and psychological characteristics affect
how an individual views their life (Schlossberg, 2011). This study will be using
Schlossberg’s Transition Theory to contextualize the transitional experiences that transfer
students may have in Alfonso Integrated High School and to better understand the nature
of the transitions that transferred in student’s experience.

Scope Limitations and Delimitation
This study focuses on Grade 11 transferred in students at Alfonso Integrated High School.
The researchers selects the participants through a inclusion criteria, the participants must
be transferred in at Alfonso Integrated High School because the focus of the study is only
focused on the Senior High School students that are transferred in at Alfonso Integrated
High School, it also focuses on the transferred in students on the year 2022-2023. The
other grade level students are able to participate; however, the researchers believe that if
they focused on the Grade 11 students, they can get the desired data. Anyone who did not
meet the criteria that the researchers set will not be included in this study. Each respondent
is given the same questions for them to answer. The result of this study will be only
applicable to the Grade 11 Transferred In Students of Alfonso Integrated High School and
won't be applied to people who aren't the study's population. The researchers will pose the
interview questions as the primary source of data.
Significance of the Study
This study will be undertaken to explore how the lived experience of transfer in
students can affect people and to learn about their personal experience. The following
person’s or entity’s identity will benefit from this study:
Students – This study will mainly benefit the students. It will significantly broaden their
perspective on the incoming transfer students and influence pupils to remain at their
current school Alfonso Integrated High School.
Teachers - Teachers will gain from this research as well. It will help them implement pupils
that need intervention learning to urge the students to remain in their current school.
ALFONSO, CAVITE
- The community will gain from having access to a facility that offers high quality
instruction and successful learning.
Definition of Terms
This following term is defined as used in this study:
Transferred in - a student who comes to a university or school after having begun his or her
course of study at a different university or school..

METHODOLOGY
Research Design
This investigation utilized the qualitative type of research using the phenomenological
approach. Qualitative research is based on people experience, also uses participants
observation or case study which results in a narrative, descriptive account of a setting or
practice (Quirimo et. Al 2019). This type of research uses ordinal scale that use
categorization in its data analysis to summarize the data collected. The researchers use
qualitative design to achieve quality information from the population of transfer student. In
addition, the researchers choose this design because it is fit in our study and it describe a
clear understanding about the experiences, thoughts, feelings, and the student
participation during the opening of the class. This design is perfect and powerful for this
study because this research study is all about experiences of our informant.
Phenomenology was an appropriate qualitative method for this study in light of the capacity
to talk with members, examining for explicit and top to bottom data, which permitted the
researcher to investigate the focal wonder from the viewpoint of the individuals who were
nearest to the phenomenon.

ALFONSO, CAVITE
Population Sampling
The sampling technique that we use as researchers is to determine the informants are
responsible and have determination to answer our question. The target population of this
research were the transferred in Grade 11 Senior High School Students who are currently
studying at Alfonso Integrated High School. The selected transferred in students are the
sample for the research.
Respondents of the Study
The respondents of this study will be the Grade 11 Transferred In Students at Alfonso
Integrated High School S.Y 2022-2023. These respondents are the ones who are
knowledgeable to answer they experience posed in the present study. They answer the
interview questionnaire that the researchers gave them which supplies the information that
researchers need. The sampling technique that we use as researchers is to determine the
informants are responsible and have determination to answer our question. The
researchers are sure that our informants can respond to the objective of our study with
more of experience or interested in our study.
This study consists of 8 participants for each stands; 2 participants from HUMSS
(Humanities and Social Sciences), 2 participants from TVL (Technical-Vocational
Livelihood), 2 participants from ABM (Accountancy Business Management), and 2
participants from STEM (Science Technology Engineering Mathematics).

Research Instrument
The instrument that was used in the data gathering is an interview questionnaire for the
student respondents. The researchers conducted an interview for the respondents. They
were asked to answer open-ended questions about their life history particularly their
experiences being transferred in students at senior high school. The researchers were able
to use the Structured Interview, which is a data collection method that relies on asking
questions in a specific order to collect data on a topic.
Validation of the Instrument
To obtain instrument validation, researchers consult to see if the instrument used to
collect the following data was correct.
Data Gathering Procedure
For this Qualitative Research, the researchers follows the phases in gathering procedure
below:
PHASE I: The researchers made sure they had enough authorization to speak with the
Senior High School Students that have transferred in at the Alfonso Integrated High
School.
PHASE II: After the face of content validation, the researchers conducts an interview
through distribution interview questions to the respondents,. The researchers gives ample
ALFONSO, CAVITE
time for the structure interview, the researchers retrieve he notes and secures the copy of
audio -visual recordings.
PHASE III: The researchers transcribed, organize, categorize and analyze the gathered
data. The thematic analysis is the approach used by the researchers to analyze and
interpret the gathered data.
Data Analysis
To answer the research problems, the following are used for each type of analysis. The
interviews audio recordings were transcribed in verbatim. Thematic content analysis was
used to analyze the transcripts. It enables to get some answers concerning this particular
wonder other than of what can be watched or detected for the subjective examination of
the arising topics, the theoretical and titles of the articles of the diary were additionally
investigated. The consequence of this investigation is a bunch of idea maps, where the
idea recurrence, according to the pattern in which of appearance and the vicinity among
ideas are visualized. Each thematic region is shaped dependent on the contentedness of
ideas and is featured by the most pertinent idea regarding recurrence and associations.
Ethical Considerations
To conclude with appropriate examination rules, moral research is essential. In terms of the
moral component of the investigation, enough time is allotted to the survey respondents so
that they can express their true feelings about the research questions. This examination
made use of both mandatory and optional information. The respondents' consent was
obtained, and proper consent was also guaranteed for the use of their provided
information. The reactions' secrecy was strictly maintained to ensure the security of their
ALFONSO, CAVITE
information. The reveal of respondent character was contingent on their authorization,
where if they were unable to reveal.
Assent from the respondents were taken and proper consent were additionally guaranteed
for utilization of their given information. Secrecy of the reactions were kept up rigorously to
guarantee security of their information. The exposure of respondent character depended
on their authorization where on the off chance that they are not able to unveil personality,
their personality won't be shown. Past that reality, utilization of any optional information
