Perception, Awareness, Acceptance and understanding of NEUST-sic Community towards its Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives

Abstract

This study focused in determining the Perception, Awareness, Acceptance and Understanding of Nueva Ecija University of Science and Technology San Isidro Campus Community towards the its Vision, Mission, Goals and Objectives of programs offered (VMGO). The survey instrument used in this study was a modified survey questionnaire from previous studies conducted by Castillo (2016). The items regarding the perception, awareness, acceptance and understanding on VMGO included in the survey instrument were based on the 2010 AACCUP Revised Instruments. The respondents of the survey were the NEUST-SIC (1325) internal stakeholders and (565) external stakeholders respectively. Findings show that External Stakeholders generally were least aware, least accept and understand the Vision, Mission, Golas and Objectives of NEUST. It is also revealed that the external stakeholders believed that the vision, mission, goals and objectives are not clearly stated and consistent with each other. However, they all agreed that the program objectives are clearly stated in terms of aesthetic and cultural values. Thus, it is recommended that widest dissemination of the VMGO through various forms of communication media, conduct campaigns or other related activities should be done by the NEUST-SIC community to further raise awareness among external stakeholders and thereby strengthen support.
