A brief description of how the literacy assessment was developed and/or when it was adopted:
This report utilized established measures derived from existing literature to assess constructs related to employability skills. The instrument examines four dimensions outlined in the graduate capability model of employability (performance, values, engagement, and intellect) as defined by Hinchliffe and Jolly (2011). It also covers two types of skills (hard and soft skills) and six graduate competencies (technology use, multitasking, oral communication, ethics and responsibility, interpersonal skills, and disciplinary expertise) identified by Castro (2014). A set of 4 items was also asked to determine students' Sustainability Development competencies, a core principle for education introduced in the curriculum starting in 2020.
A brief description of how a representative sample was reached (if applicable) and how the assessment(s) were administered :
This year, a total of 640 students participated in the survey. Each of the 5 colleges of De La Salle Lipa had responses from more than half of their population
The survey was administered online from March 21 to August 8, 2023, with an informed consent letter using Google Forms. Students were asked to answer the survey with an option not to divulge their names. Participation in the survey posed no risk, harm, discomfort, or inconvenience. The researchers ensured sufficient information to satisfy the basic elements of informed consent available to the respondents.
A brief summary of results from the literacy assessment(s):
The CAPSTONE program of the school was introduced starting in AY 2020. The program aims to
