ABSTRACT

Learning is synonymous to experience. This platform suggests to ever-changing need of an individual, given that it is in the academe or in any realistic environment. One big step to learning what is supposed to grasp by someone is to enrollhis/herself in the most suitable course possible. In the highest hopes to give the fullest to the students of the Philippines, the Department of Education established a new curriculum which was based from the rest of the countries which follow K to 12 curricula. This research deals with the lived experiences of selected STEM students toward their endeavor to take Medical Technology in college. The lived experiences of Home-grown STEM students were analyzed and purposefully validated using the Qualitative method specifically Interpretative Phenomenological Analysis as the design. Interview questions were presented to construct semi structured questions. Furthermore, theories and other concepts were provided to support the ideas related to modalities in taking Medical Technology. The said course is the most productive and acknowledged one amongst other courses found in Emilio Aguinaldo College – Cavite. As the backwash of this study, the superordinate themes that served as the main answers to its general research questions are intrested, determined and goal Setter
