Abstract:
Drop-out rate is a key indicator of access to basic education. For the three previous schoolrnyears, the percentage of dropouts in the Division of Pangasinan II was higher than the set targets;rnhence, the need to identify learners who are at risk of dropping out to decrease the dropout raternand increase access to basic education. This study utilized the survey-predictive designs. Itrngenerated a decision tree model that reflected the interacting variables that predict the occurrencernrnof Students-At-Risk of Dropping-Out (SARDO) in the Division of Pangasinan II. A questionnaire-rnchecklist was utilized to collect data from 362 SARDO and 138 non-SARDO. Frequency count,rnrnweighted mean and decision trees were used to treat the gathered data. It was found that thernrisk-factors have low effect on the SARDO and the school-initiated interventions as highlyrneffective. The generated decision tree model revealed that sex, educational resources at home,rnand student’s agreement as to he/she is allowed to disagree with his/her parents if the latter feelsrnhis/her ideas are better, were the interacting variables in the occurrence of SARDO. It is veryrnclear that even in the digital age, learners need educational resources other than cellphones andrncomputers, as well as proper parental guidance that caters their respective needs. This is tornfacilitate their attendance in school and help reduce the dropout rate of the Division. Thernformulated strategic intervention program to enhance the management of DORP is recommendedrnfor implementation.
