ABSTRACT
Keywords: partnership, collaboration, best practices, deterrents on partnership, partnership
design
The researchers addressed the following concerns in relation to the established
partnership and linkages of the Senior High School Arts and Design Track of the Regional
Lead School for the Arts in Angono: 1.) What are the motivation(s) of RLSAA in entering
into partnership for the SHS Arts and Design Track?, 2.) What are the deterrents that
discourage RLSAA from entering into partnership?, 3.) What are the factors of success of the
partnership program of RLSAA in the SHS Art and Design Track?, 4.) What are the
significant impact of the established partnership in the RLSAA-SHS to: a. Students, b.
Teachers, c. Program/Administration. The researchers identified best practices, mitigated
challenges, and expanded partnership and recorded significant achievements that led to the
creation of a partnership design that could serve as a reference in entering a partnership
program.
The researchers used both qualitative and quantitative research methods. As the
researchers intend to know the motivation to partnership, deterrents of partnership and factors
of success in partnership survey questionnaire is designed as adopted from the study
conducted by Keegan S. Vail on the Beneficial Arts Collaboration: A Bloomington
Perspective (2014). To determine the impact of the partnership program, the researchers
crafted guide questions targeting areas of concern and recorded testimonials of the
respondents. Observation, a systematic data collection approach, is likewise employed to
record/transcribe other messages as the researchers use their senses in the process of
examining the people in natural setting and/or as they engage themselves in the
implementation of the program. The researchers employed the purposive sampling technique
in identifying the 36 respondents comprising of teachers, students and partners.
The research hereby present the following findings: A.) That the RLSAA-Partnership
and Linkages Program relative to the sustainability of the program established a strong
connection with its partners through the setting of clear mission/intention of program,
reckoning good reputation and proper documentation of the programs and projects
implemented with 2.54 - 2.62 mean score (strongly agree). B.) That no mission, bad
reputation, competition, one-sidedness and potential lose of identity as considerations that
should be avoided in order to ensure the stability of the partnership program with the mean
score of 2.46 (strongly agree). C.)That established partnership program records significant
contributions affecting the students, their family, the community and the school. Testimonies
of the student-beneficiaries in various art disciplines, records of adherence of teachers,
parents and administration in performance/output based evidences mirror the growing impact
of the program. D.) That the RLSAA-SHS partnership and Linkages record best practices
over the challenges identified in the implementation of the program leading to a partnership
design.
