The case study, "Exploring the Path to Education: A Case Study on the Factors
Influencing BSED Students' Program of Choice," is a comprehensive investigation into
the intricate journey undertaken by students pursuing a Bachelor of Secondary
Education (BSED). It aims to unravel the complex web of factors that play a pivotal role
in shaping the program choices of aspiring educators. The study delves deep into the
personal and academic odysseys of BSED students, seeking to understand the
motivations, aspirations, and external influences guiding their educational decisions. By
conducting an in-depth inquiry, the research aims to uncover the nuanced and
multifaceted elements that contribute to the diverse tapestry of program choices within
the field of education. The investigation encompasses demographic information,
motivations and aspirations, influential figures or experiences, barriers or challenges
faced by students, and the potential impact of educational policies. Comparative
analyses with existing literature and implications for educational programs are
anticipated, providing valuable insights for institutions, policymakers, and educators.
Ultimately, this case study is poised to contribute significantly to the understanding of
why individuals choose BSED programs, with implications for improving recruitment
strategies, enhancing curriculum development, and fostering a supportive environment
for the next generation of educators.
For a number of convincing reasons, the case study "Exploring the Path to
Education: A Case Study on the Factors Influencing BSED Students' Program of
Choice" must be pursued. First, because the academic landscape is constantly
changing, it is essential for educational institutions and policymakers to have an
understanding of the variables influencing students' decisions to pursue Bachelor in
Secondary Education (BSED) degrees. This case study offers the chance to go through
the complex web of reasons, goals, and outside pressures that push students toward a
profession in education. The study seeks to advance academic knowledge by
conducting a thorough investigation and offering a nuanced understanding of the
complex factors impacting decisions in the field of education. Decisions about
education are intricate and multifaceted, incorporating systemic, societal, and personal
elements. In order to provide institutions, educators, and policymakers with a thorough
understanding of the factors impacting BSED students' program selections, this
research aims to deconstruct these intricacies. For educational programs to be

Rahawarin [Link]. (2019) study aims to find out the real motivation of students to
select department of Islamic teaching education in public university, even though this
department is widely offered by state and private Islamic universities. This study uses
qualitative methods with a case study approach (case study design). The results of the
analysis showed that there were seven motivations of students to select department of
Islamic teaching education. Those seven motivations are: i) self-will, ii) parents'
encouragement, iii) choice to become a religious teacher, iv) job opportunities after
graduation, v) desire to study at public universities vi) opportunity to spread dakwah, vii)
to deepen Islamic knowledge.

Wang, Wenting and Wang, Ziyou (2023) this paper reports the findings on
motivational factors influencing teaching as a career choice from a qualitative study
carried out in Scotland. Ten students undertaking a PGDE (Professional Graduate
Diploma in Education) programs at one Scottish university were interviewed. The
results indicate that the choice of a teaching career derived from the students' internal
needs for personal achievement and from an altruistic dimension pertaining to helping
and influencing young people.
Ouano [Link]. (2019) this study assessed the influence identified factors such as
decision-making and interest, peer influence, considerations about the institutions and
future job opportunities on the career decisions of 90 students in Jagobiao National
High School. Data was collected through a survey questionnaire – researchers used a
chi-square as a research tool to formulate the collected data. The results show that the
considerations about the institutions as most significant, followed by decision-making
and interest, peer influence and future job opportunities.
Kaya [Link]. (2022) the survey model was used in this study, which aimed to
reveal the level of differences of pedagogical formation students' reasons for choosing
teaching according to various variables. The sample consists of 158 randomly selected
pedagogical formation education certificate program students. As a result of the study,
it was seen that the level of choosing to teach for internal reasons of pedagogical
formation education certificate program students was higher than the level of choice for
external reasons and the level of being affected by (others).

Kwok [Link]. (2022) this large-scale qualitative study, the researchers use an
emergent design to explore pre-service teachers' (PST) motivations to enter the
profession. We open-code 2,798 PSTs responses to the directive, 'Explain why you
decided to become a teacher', given over the course of a six-year period from one large
Texas teacher preparation programmed. Using constant comparative analysis, we
identified three categories of motivation into the teaching profession: altruism, intrinsic
motivation, and socialization influences. Each of these explain why PSTs were
motivated--to, by, and from--entering the profession, respectively. However,
descriptions of each category differed from findings in previous research, as our study
addresses methodological, contextual, and conceptual gaps that have persisted
throughout this field. Findings offer implications for increasing the teacher pipeline
through targeted recruitment and increased informal teaching experiences.
Kaneez and Medha (2018) manifested that majority of students are influenced
by environment and personality factors and not influenced by opportunity factors.
Begmark [Link]. (2018) the aim of the study is to discursively identify student
teachers’ perceptions of the teaching profession early in their education and their
motives for this career choice. Students wrote a letter sharing thoughts on why they
want to become a teacher, how they regard the teaching profession and if someone
inspired them in their career choice. The empirical data consists of 259 student texts
from three Swedish teacher education programs. The study employed a qualitative
method denoting different categorizations compared to previous studies, emphasizing
the idea of multiple motives for career choice and the link to student teachers’ evolving
pedagogical identity. The results indicate the value of organizing teacher education
programs drawing on multiple motives, which is expected to contribute positively to
completion of teacher education and teacher retention in future profession.

The five components of the college selection process model describe the stages
through which students move along the path toward the ultimate selection of a college.
The stages are labeled as follows: Pre-Search Behavior; Search behavior; Application
Decision; Choice Decision; and, Matriculation Decision.
Pre-Search
Pre-search behavior begins when a student first recognizes the possible need
and desirability of a college-level education. Parental influences may lead to such a
realization on the part of the student well before the high school years.
Search Behavior
Knowledgeable "others" might include high school teachers, high school
guidance-counselors, family members and relatives, family friends, college alumni, and
acquaintances attending particular colleges. The search phase involves active search,

Application Decision
Students are most likely to apply to colleges in which they are interested and to
which they are likely to be admitted. The notion of a "safe" or "backup" college merits
special attention. Students may apply to a fairly low preference but perceived high-
probability-of-admission college (often the local public institution) Just to ensure that at
least one positive admission decision is forthcoming.
Choice Decision
The choice decision phase normally ends with the selection of a specific college
to attend. However, some students will end the choice decision stage by deciding to
defer admission to a later time, perhaps because the student was not admitted to a
highly preferred first choice college, or because financial considerations or some other
change (since the application decision stage) in the student's personal life makes it
impossible to pursue a college education at this point in time.
Matriculation Decision
Changed family or personal circumstances (such as significant changes in
financial situation) and unexpected events may alter the original choice decision. A
student who was wait-listed with a highly preferred college may renege on the initial
college selected if the highly preferred college subsequently admits the student.
A. Methodology
This study made use of a qualitative research design to determine and analyze
the factors that influence the Bachelor of Secondary Education students in choosing the
program and how they manage the course they currently taking through interview.

B. The Problem
The problem in the case study “Exploring the Path to Education: A Case
Study on the Factors Influencing BSED Students’ Program of Choice” may involve
a lack of understanding regarding the key factors influencing BSED students’ program
choices, potential disparities in program preferences, and challenges related to
program retention. The precise problem can be pinpointed through in-depth research
and data analysis within the study.

The problem identified in the case study titled "Exploring the Path to
Education: A Case Study on the Factors Influencing BSED Students' Program of
Choice" is the need to understand and investigate the various factors that influence the
program choices of BSED (Bachelor of Science in Education) students. This problem
centers around comprehending why BSED students select specific specializations
within their degree programs and aims to uncover the underlying motivations, both
personal and external, that guide their decision-making processes. The study seeks to
answer questions about why students choose particular BSED programs and what
factors, such as personal preferences, career aspirations, institutional offerings, and
societal influences, play a significant role in shaping their educational paths.
The problem in our case study is "Exploring the Path to Education: A Case
Study on the Factors Influencing BSED Students' Program of Choice”. This case
study is done by the activity by conducting information to the first-year students that
studied in Kolehiyo ng Lungsod ng Lipa. As a researcher, we want to know what are the
factors that influence them to choose these Bachelor in Secondary Education program.
We additionally investigate the effects that students could experience if they pick an
incorrect course. However, as a student, you must first assess your talents and interests
to determine which course you should enroll in. In such a scenario, we might avert this
type of circumstance.

I. Demographic
Thirty-three percent, or two respondents, who answered our survey were men,
while sixty-seven percent, or four respondents, were women.
II. Factors that influence KLL freshmen to choose [Link].
According to the respondents, there were many reasons why freshmen chose
the BSED program. Two out of six respondents said that this is their passion and they
really want to teach, while the other is the influence of this family, and another
respondent said that they will get many opportunities in this course. The remaining two
respondents chose BSED because they think it is more challenging compared to
BEED, and its only focus is on the subject you have chosen.
III. Availability of financial and scholarships
The availability of financial aid and scholarships influenced them to choose
[Link]. program because, according to five respondents, because of this opportunity,
their expenses will be reduced, which will help them to complete and fulfill the things
that are being done, and according to one respondent, it becomes their motivation to
finish their studies.
IV. BSED or BEED program
The choice of the course has an impact if the personal interest you know will
help you, just like four out of six respondents said that they chose BSED because it
only deals with their subject preference. The two respondents said that they chose
BEED because they are fonder of teaching younger students or kids.
V. Gender-based differences
Five out of six respondents said that there is no gender-based difference in
choosing the BSED program, but according to one respondent, there is still gender

C. Beyond Results
Based on the results, we see this as sustainable because, as freshmen in KLL,
they chose [Link]. because it can be their passion to teach and also because they can
get a lot of opportunities in this course. In terms of scholarship, it can help all students at
KLL reduce their expenses and become motivated to finish their studies. Also, their
personal interest is that they use this program as a backup course, and the other
respondent said that they would grab it to become a real teacher. Most of the
respondents believe that there is no gender bias, particularly in choosing a BSED
program, but one of them still believes that we have gender discrimination in terms of
profession. In societal factor, they said that it can be affected in choosing this program,
and the teaching method is creative now because' you can have the authority or power
when they become a future teacher.
IV. Recommendations
The researcher intends to formulate recommendations in the aforementioned
that could lead to certain improvements in the existing approach. The study's
conclusions lead to the following recommendations:
[Link] freshmen should refer to this research as a reference in choosing the right
program for them.
2. Reevaluate and consider their skills and aptitudes in selecting a desired college
curriculum.
3. It would be best for freshmen to select a college program based on their financial
situation.
4. It is recommended that first-year students conduct informational interviews with
experts in the subjects they want to pursue in order to learn more about the practical
aspects of the programs they have selected.
