ABSTRACT

The study delved into the extent of implementation of the Guidance Program in the public schools of Urdaneta City. The study determined the profile of the respondents, the extent of implementation of the Guidance program, and the significant relationship between the profile of the respondents and the extent of implementation of the Guidance program. The descriptive method of research was used in this study. Findings showed that most respondents are female, in the early adulthood stage, married, holding a Teacher III position, experienced guidance counselors/ designates with Masters Units, and equipped with training related to guidance and counseling. The extent of implementation of the respondents in the guidance program is extensive. Likewise, they highly provide the necessary guidance and counseling services the school community needs.
Further, years in service as a guidance counselor/ designate are significantly correlated to the extent of implementation of guidance programs along with individual inventory service and coaching. The study recommended that public school guidance counselors/ designates adapt the program crafted by the researcher to strengthen their implementation of the Guidance Program. They should also recognize problems encountered that may pose an effect on the extent of implementation of the Guidance Program. In addition, a similar study should be conducted, considering other factors that can affect the implementation of the Guidance Program in schools.
