The main purpose of this study was to ascertain what skills of fishery workers in marine fisheries are considered important by persons directly involved in the fisheries industry. Specifically, this study attempted to: 1. Identify the different skills of fishery workers in commercial fisheries considered important by employers/operators of commercial fishing boats, marine fisheries teachers/instructors and BFAR marine fisheries technicians/technologists in the Western Visayas; 2. Determine the extent of agreement on the importance of the skills of the manpower categories among the three groups of respondents; 3. Determine the variations in the ranks of the skills, based on their importance scores, when the data were analyzed. 3.1 By province from where the respondents came; 3.2 By position/designation of the respondents; 3.3 By size of the boats being expected by the respondents. In addition to the foregoing purposes, the study, on the basis of the findings, attempted to provide information which can be used to reduce discrepancies between the skills needed by employers and those which students acquire in fishery education.

By "best results” is meant that his pupils should show that they have fully attained the goals set for them in the course. To attain this objective, the teacher should adopt the method or procedure which would help his pupils develop to their fullest capacity and show a remarkably high academic achievement, as well as develop the skills expected of them as minimum requirements in the grade they are in. The purpose of this study is to discover such effective methods of teaching by comparing the academic achievement of grade five pupils who were taught through "process approach" with that of comparable pupils who were taught under the traditional method. The researcher would like the experiment to answer the following questions: (1) Which of the two methods, "process approach or traditional method, will produce better results in the teaching-learning situation? In other words, which of the two groups will show higher achievement in science only, the experimental group using the "process approach" or the control group using the traditional method? (2) Which method will be better to use for the superior group? (3) Which one will be better for the slower group? The effectiveness of the method should be measured in terms of significantly higher achievement of a group of pupils taught under one of the methods, after two equated groups have taken the same subject matter and been given a common or the same achievement test. The null hypothesis adopted at the start of the experiment was that there was no significant difference between the results from the two methods of teaching Grade V science units.

As the world progresses, education becomes a very important tool in the constant search for the unknown and in the hold attempts to meet great challenges. Educators and philosophers vary in their concepts of education, however, they agree on one fundamental idea which is generally accepted by teachers that education is "the result of experiences whereby we become more or less able to adjust ourselves to the demands of the particular form of society in which we live and work.” Although there may be differences of opinion as to what experiences will bring about the best result in social adjustment, the underlying idea holds true. To adapt to a particular society, man must consider the fact that he has to learn to carry on a gainful occupation. Vocational education, therefore, is included as part of the total experiences of an individual in the particular aspect of his social adjustment wherein he fits himself into the society of work. Since time immemorial man is in constant struggle to conquer his physical environment and to satisfy his need for food, clothing, and shelter. In order to realise his goals he has to learn better manual skill and to enrich his job knowledge. Moreover, he must realise the need to transmit such skill and knowledge to his children and his children's children. Thus, as time unfolds, novel ideas and discoveries have been added to the educational assets of mankind. Vocational training thrives in a social process. Primitive men had to acquire manual skill from the older members of the family through observation and practice from the more skillful workers of society. They had to train workers inasmuch as their particular society was dependent upon the sufficiency of goods and services made available to its members. Our present society and any society for that matter needs more than ever better vocational education. This is because people need more food, more goods, and more services. The development of large-scale business and industry correspondingly demands a great; number of skilled manpower. Even in farming, people are no longer satisfied with the old crude ways of cultivating the land since they are aware of new scientific methods, hence, the need for skilled agriculturists. Modern conditions require more efficient vocational training. The need for vocational education cannot be overly emphasized. It exists mainly for social and economic reasons. So maintain the stability and progress of a nation, social wealth must be produced in the most efficient way. It is then the duty of organized vocational training to provide teaching and learning activities to this end. Furthermore, national economy cannot become stable end progressive without the firm support of vocational education, The primary function of vocational education is to conserve natural as well as human resources which are the very essence of the national economy. While it is a recognized fact that vocational education plays a very vital role in the socioeconomic growth of the country, it is also deplorable to note that many Filipinos regard manual labor as degrading and shameful. It was noted by Aldana that "The Spanish regime engendered abhorrence toward manual labor. While the schools ostensibly provided training in manual arts, this was more honorable in the breach than in the observance." attitude remained even during the American occupation more so when many opportunities for white-collar Jobs were offered to the Filipino youth. Such a negative attitude will continue to persist as long as society will still look up to men on swivel chairs. Isidro also pointed out: “… the Filipinos felt that manual labor was derogatory to social position and white-collar jobs were the badge of educated individuals… Manual labor was only good for the slaves and the Filipinos, while white-collar jobs were reserved for the Spaniards and for the illustrades.” It is a common observation up to now that young men and women as well as the adult segment of our society give only a second thought to vocational courses. Their first choice and most cherished ambition is to go to college and pursue a profession which would offer them prestigious white- collar jobs. In this connection, most students prefer general education than vocational education in high schools. According to the trend in enrolment, 85.53 per cent of high school students were enrolled in the general secondary school curriculum and only 17.33 per cent were enrolled in the different vocational high schools during the school year 1952- 1953. In order to give credence to this observation, the researcher made a survey to measure the prevailing feeling and opinion of students and their parents toward vocational education. I. The problem Statement of the problem. The purpose of this study was to survey and analyze the present attitudes of high school students and of their parents toward vocational high school education; to discover whether such attitudes ere favorable or unfavorable toward the program of vocational high school education. The following were the specific questions the researcher attempted to answers: 1. Do students and their parents consider vocational high school the cheaper way to college education than general high schools? 2. What is the choice of a life-work style (preference for blue-or white-collar Jobs) of high school students and of their parents? 3. Do students and their parents agree that secondary vocational education should be terminal? 4. Do they believe in the idea that vocational high school education is for the mentally slow (average or poorer) students? 5. Are they of the opinion that vocational high School education is inferior than general education? 6. How do students and parents of Vocational High Schools compare with students and parents of General High Schools in the attitude toward vocational high school education?

The leadership behavior of such school officials is observed every day as they go about their numerous duties. This behavior is observed and evaluated through formal and informal means by those who work with them and also by those they serve. The impression from the evaluation is that the image of Philippine school officials and teachers has been tarnished. It has been charged that there has been a progressive deterioration in the quality of their performance and their ethics. This results, according to the complaints, in corresponding deterioration of the quality of the products of the public as well as the private schools. These charges seem to be substantiated by the number of administrative cases submitted to the Office of the Regional Director, Ministry of Education and Culture, Region VI. If is then of utmost importance that a study of the misdemeanors of school administrators, teachers, and other school officials be made. Such a study would acquaint us with the extent to which our school officials in Western Visayas have violated the rules of service and conduct, thus adversely affecting the reputation of the school system in the region. Background of the Study As an authorized investigator of the Ministry of Education and Culture, Region VI, this writer has access to all records of administrative cases filed from 1966 up to the present. With the proclamation of martial law throughout the country on September 21, 1972, this investigator surmised that there must have been a decline in the number of reports against school officials, teachers, and employees since then. On the contrary, the number of administrative cases has increased. In 1975 alone forty- three reports against school officials were received at the MEC regional office, Region VI. This number, however, did not include those that were decided at the district level. This was the highest number up to 1976, and there had never been a year when no administrative case was reported. The Problem This study was intended to survey the incidence of school administrative cases in the Western Visayas from 1968 to 1976, to categorized these cases, and to report the types of subsequent action taken by the proper authorities. This investigation was aimed to answer the following questions: 1. What were the most common types of cases filed between 1968 and 1976, in the Western Visayas, when the respondents were classified according to: a) school division, b) official position, c) sex, d) school level (elementary, secondary, tertiary). 2. What common decisions were made on each type of proven offense? 3. What is the trend of occurrence of administrative cases from January, 1968 to September 20, 1972, and from September 21, 1972 to December 1976?
