Resource Title A study on the factors that affect the library use of Alternative Learning System (ALS) beneficiaries in Tondo and Sta. Cruz
Date Issued April 2013
Abstract The Alternative Learning system (ALS) has emerged as a great opportunity to the out-of-school population who still still want to graduate up to the secondary level, enabling themselves to advance their respective academic standings. With the program being dynamic and flexible to the beneficiaries, learning should be maximized in order to increase their capability in passing the ALS Accreditation and Equivalency Tests (ALS A&E Tests) hence, library use is important.

This study is mainly concerned about the technical and behavioral factors that affect the library use of the ALS beneficiaries. The technical factors considered are the use of other resources, proper library instruction and promotion, and the dependency on modules and the internet. The behavioral factor considered are the individual study habits of the beneficiaries and their interaction with regular students. Other factors such as former educational background and economic status were also included.
