 What does
work
immersion
mean?
 The word “immersion” as it
applies to the K to 12 curriculum is
defined in the Department of
Education (DepEd) Order No. 40,
series of 2015: “Work
Immersion refers to the part of
the Senior High School (SHS)
Curriculum consisting of
80 hours of hands-on
experience or work simulation
which the Grades 11 and 12
students will undergo to expose
them to the actual workplace
setting and to enrich the
competencies provided by the
school under the supervision of the
School Head and the designated
personnel of the Partner.
Immersion is done outside
the school campus in a
“Workplace Immersion Venue,”
defined as “the place where work
immersion of students is done.”
Examples of work immersion
venues include offices, factories,
shops and project sites.” What
could lead to confusion is that the
word “immersion” actually has
two meanings in K to 12.
The first meaning refers to a
required SHS subject in the
curriculum. The second
meaning refers not to a subject
but to a preferred mode of
delivery of Tech-Voc subjects.

What is
ethics
without
“S”?
 ETHIC is a phrase that
describes actions and beliefs of
certain people. If a person works
very hard and exhibits a great deal
of pride in that work, that person is
said to have a good “work ethic.”
These people tend to be loyal,
dependable,
 self-motivated, and satisfied
workers. They believe that they
have an obligation to work
hard in order to provide for their
families, contribute to the
economic health of their
community, and achieve a level of
success for their own self-esteem.
Employers are pleased when
their employees exhibit
qualities of this “work ethic.”
The more of these qualities the
worker exhibits, the better
worker he or she is. So, the
“work ethic” could be defined as
the belief that one should work
 diligently, beyond minimum
expectations, striving for
excellence in every aspect of the
labor. This belief, along with
resulting similar actions by worker,
makes for an employee that a
supervisor would be pleased to
have.
 What is
ethics
with “S”?
 The “ethics of the workplace”
are usually thought of today as a
set of moral standards for each
trade, profession, or job
classification. Each type of job
has certain ethical standards that
most workers agree on for that
occupation.
 There are also many general
ethical principles, applicable to any
occupational area. Honesty,
loyalty, confidentiality,
accuracy, and open-mindedness
are qualities that most employers
hope their workers will possess.
Example:
• Psychologists would never
disclose information about
their clients outside of their
professional duties.
Example:
• A good mechanic would never
repair one item in a car while
sabotaging another part to
malfunction later. It would be
unethical.
Example:
• It is considered unethical to
advertise a certain product as
having certain qualities if it
really doesn’t.
