Abstract
The expediency of conducting a feasibility study in a program is newly offered is to know its viability and its importance in meeting the needs of society. This is a feasibility study for the newly offered program which is the Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in Science of the College of Education at Cebu Technological University – Moalboal Campus. The aimed to identify the different schools that will serve as the feeder of the college in terms of its students, to analyze the strengths and weaknesses of the program, and lastly, to know how viable and sustainable it is in addressing the demands of the society. The study employed a descriptive method in analyzing the quantitative data from the checklist instrument. Simple Descriptive qualitative analysis was also used in order to surface the insights and perceptions of the participants in offering this program. Slovin’s formula was used to identify the sample of the study. With 6 municipalities having 15 public high schools in the population, the study was able to present data necessary for the feasibility of the program being offered. Of 345 respondents, 90% (311) showed interest in teaching science education. Participants also identified their insights and perceptions regarding the course attractiveness, course instruction, employability, and viability. This study also ascertained the different factors affecting the offering of this new program by conducting the Strength, Weakness, Threat, and Opportunity (SWOT) Analysis. The Demand and Supply of BSED – Science graduates were identified. Conclusively, this course is feasible. Thus, a recommendation of conducting a tracer’s study may be instituted after 3 batches of graduates to know how effective it is in answering the demands of society.
