Being an educator entails a lot of hard work, determination, and perseverance to nurture young students to do their task effectively and efficiently. Thus, the objective of this study is to re-examine the curriculum design for higher education institution, which leads us to know the curriculum component of San Sebastian College- Recoletos, Manila towards curriculum enhancement. In the introduction of the study, it was clearly emphasized that meta analysis is a method for systematically combining quantitative and qualitative data from several selected studies. With the purpose of identifying concrete answers from questions pertaining to the curriculum of the school. The quantitative data analysis is the method use for finalizing results gathered from students. This includes their honest thoughts about questions pertaining to the curriculum. The end results will be looking at the hard data-the number figures, which are converted into percentages to be able to determine the bulk results to the questions given and be able to evaluate and make an assessment. Likewise, the qualitative method has been administered to the area chairpersons, in order to know more about their concerns in the construction of their respective curriculum, since using the qualitative method analysis can mean subjective concerns and thoughts, geared towards possible curriculum improvements.
The researchers have done the best possible way on how to reach out to the alumni and area chairpersons who are the main respondents of this study. Thankfully, they were able to get a good number of respondents, who willingly answered the questions given to them. The results from the answers were carefully collated, evaluated, and interpreted. Thus, the results can explain the logic of this study. It is in the conclusion where the researchers have explained further the assessment on the experimental results. A good insight from the qualitative results of the area chairpersons is about confirming their intemtions of making possible revisions in their curriculum, if the conditions calls for it. However, at the moment they have told the researchers that they have their reasons on why they have to stick first to the present curriculum, and be more vigilant for possible changes or improvements. The over-all impact of the study showed that the curriculum of SSC-R is subject centered, which is more focused and concerned on the needs of students for their adaptability in the outside world.

Having to look into the welfare of our students should be one of the primary concerns of teachers. This reason prompted then the authors to come up with a research study, signifying the remarkable learnings of the chosen alumni from san sebastian college-recoletos, manila. The study focuses on the type of a major philosophical thought which is pragmatism, where the pedagogical approach is in teaching the students about enhancing their skills in hands-on activities, like experimentation, research works, documentations and projects, and even in practicing them in certain drills and simulations. The subject concerned here is all about the different sciences taken up and learned enthusiastically by our students, like biology, earth science, and zoology. They all graduated with different courses, but science had been an integral part of their way of life, since they were able to incorporate their learnings in school to the outside world. This study then is a summation on how philosophy has been looked up in such a way that a major philosophical thought had been chosen, in line with the pedagogical approach, because of the reason that it is still observed and existing nowadays. Whatever has been taught in the past years, in line with pragmatism, has been applied by our students in their present works or jobs at the present time. Those who are not working right now have incorporated the knowledge, skills, and values from the hands-on learnings from certain activities in the school, as applied in their day to day routinary activities in life. The statement of the problem tried to confirm whether these graduates have truly enhanced their knowledge, skills, and attitudes, using the pedagogical approach. This part of the study has been confirmed through the use of the survey questionnaires that were emailed to each of the respondents, where the likert scale was used, which acted as the scoring range in the survey. The weighted mean and standard deviation was also analyzed in order to come up with a concrete evaluation of the learnings of the graduates. The concluding part was more of confirming the validity of the study in having to adapt pragmatism, even during the present time, since it can effectively hone the knowledge, skills, and attitudes of students, as long as they will always be guided accordingly and effectively.Keywords
