UNDERSTANDING WORK- IMMERSION WHAT DO WE MEAN BY WORK IMMERSION?  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. EXPECTED BEHAVIOUR EVERY WORKER SHOULD POSSESS GOOD BEHAVIOR IN THEIR WORKPLACE TO MAINTAIN THE BALANCE AND HARMONIOUS WORK ENVIRONMENT. Work Ethics BY DEFINITION, WORK ETHIC IS A BELIEF THAT WORK, HARD WORK AND DILIGENCE HAS A MORAL BENEFIT AND AN INHERENT ABILITY, VIRTUE OR VALUE TO STRENGTHEN CHARACTER. IT IS ABOUT PRIORITIZING WORK AND PUTTING IT IN THE CENTER OF LIFE. SOCIAL ENGRAILMENT OF THIS VALUE IS CONSIDERED TO ENHANCE CHARACTER THROUGH HARD WORK THAT IS RESPECTIVE TO AN INDIVIDUAL’S FIELD OF WORK.  HERE ARE SOME FACTORS OF A GOOD WORK ETHICS: GOAL-ORIENTED ACTIONS: IT IS NOT ABOUT MAKING PLANS OR THE NEXT LOGICAL STEPS; IT'S ABOUT GETTING THINGS DONE SO THAT THE WORK INVESTED WOULDN'T BE COUNTER- PRODUCTIVE. DEDICATE ON PRIORITY: FOCUSING ON QUALITATIVE ACTIVITIES THAT A PERSON IS CAPABLE AND WHERE THEY CAN MAKE A DIFFERENCE OR A HIGH IMPACT BASED ON OBJECTIVES. BEING AVAILABLE AND RELIABLE: SPENDING TIME ON THE WORK AND BUILDING ONESELF UP FOR THE TASK.  CONSCIENTIOUSNESS: A DESIRE TO DO A TASK WELL, BEING VIGILANT AND ORGANIZED. CREATING A REWARDING ROUTINE/SYSTEM: ENGAGING IN TASKS THAT PROVIDE STRENGTH AND ENERGY WHICH CAN BE TRANSFERRED TO YOUR ULTIMATE GOALS, CREATING A HABIT AND A HABITAT FOR SUCCESS. EMBRACING POSITIVISM: SHAPE A PROBLEM WITH THE STATEMENT "GOOD, (ACTION) (PROBLEM)", E.G. "I'M TIRED AND IT IS TIME FOR A WORKOUT" LEADS TO "GOOD. WORKOUT TIRED". CAPITALIST VIEW STEVEN MALANGA REFERS TO "WHAT WAS ONCE UNDERSTOOD AS THE WORK ETHIC — NOT JUST HARD WORK BUT ALSO A SET OF ACCOMPANYING VIRTUES, WHOSE CRUCIAL ROLE IN THE DEVELOPMENT AND SUSTAINING OF FREE MARKETS TOO FEW NOW RECALL".  MAX WEBER NOTES THAT THIS IS NOT A PHILOSOPHY OF MERE GREED, BUT A STATEMENT LADEN WITH MORAL LANGUAGE. IT IS IN EFFECT AN ETHICAL RESPONSE TO THE NATURAL DESIRE FOR HEDONIC REWARD, A STATEMENT OF THE VALUE OF DELAYED GRATIFICATION TO ACHIEVE SELF- ACTUALIZATION. BEN FRANKLIN CLAIMS THAT BIBLE READINGS REVEALED TO HIM THE USEFULNESS OF VIRTUE. INDEED, THIS REFLECTS THE THEN CHRISTIAN SEARCH FOR ETHIC FOR LIVING AND THE STRUGGLE TO MAKE A LIVING.  EXPERIMENTAL STUDIES HAVE SHOWN THAT PEOPLE WITH FAIR WORK ETHIC ARE ABLE TO TOLERATE TEDIOUS JOBS WITH EQUITABLE MONETARY REWARDS AND BENEFITS, THEY ARE HIGHLY CRITICAL, HAVE A TENDENCY FOR WORKAHOLICS AND A NEGATIVE RELATION WITH LEISURE ACTIVITY CONCEPTS. THEY VALUED MERITOCRACY AND EGALITARIANISM.  ANTI-CAPITALIST VIEW THE INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER FREDERICK WINSLOW TAYLOR (1856-1915) REVISED THE NOTION OF WORK ETHIC AS A MEANS OF MANAGEMENT CONTROL THAT DELUDE WORKERS ABOUT THE ACTUAL REALITY FOR ACCUMULATED ADVANTAGE, WHICH IS A FORM OF AVARICE. MARXISTS, AND SOME NON-MARXIST SOCIOLOGISTS DO NOT REGARD "WORK ETHIC" AS A USEFUL SOCIOLOGICAL CONCEPT. THEY ARGUE THAT HAVING A "WORK ETHIC" IN EXCESS OF MANAGEMENT'S CONTROL DOESN'T APPEAR RATIONAL IN ANY MATURE INDUSTRY WHERE THE EMPLOYEE CAN'T RATIONALLY HOPE TO BECOME MORE THAN A MANAGER WHOSE FATE STILL DEPENDS ON THE OWNER'S DECISIONS. NOTE: SINCE WORK ETHICS DEALS WITH A CODE OF CONDUCT, OR A SET OF PRINCIPLES THAT IS ACCEPTABLE IN THE WORK PLACE, WE NEED TO LOOK AT WHAT SOME OF THOSE PRINCIPLES ARE.  A LIST OF WORK ETHICS FOR AN EMPLOYER OR A COMPANY MIGHT BE : TO PROVIDE A SAFE WORK ENVIRONMENT FOR ITS STAFF AND EMPLOYEES, TO TREAT EMPLOYEES WITH DIGNITY AND RESPECT, TO PROVIDE A FAIR WAGE FOR THE SERVICES RENDERED, TO HANDLE ALL BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS WITH INTEGRITY AND HONESTY. A LIST OF WORK ETHICS FOR THE EMPLOYEE MIGHT INCLUDE: TO SHOW UP ON TIME. TO TEND TO COMPANY BUSINESS FOR THE WHOLE TIME WHILE AT WORK. TO TREAT THE COMPANY’S RESOURCES, EQUIPMENT, AND PRODUCTS WITH CARE, TO GIVE RESPECT TO THE COMPANY. THAT MEANS HONESTY AND INTEGRITY. THANK YOU!
