Now, it is the responsibility of the institution and educators to guide the students properly by determining the appropriate and suited delivery of instruction based on their specialization through examining students’ academic resilience despite of academic adversity as a result of the changing trend in innovations. The study aimed to create a comprehensive and contextualized program that will strengthen the academic resilience of the first-year college students in either private or local college so that they are armed as they continue their college journey. Specifically, it determined the (i) the profile of the respondents. (ii) It examined the perceived level of academic resilience of the respondents through Vignette 1, Vignette 2, and Combined Vignette Perspectives. While last is to analyze significant difference on the perceived academic resilience level when grouped according to profile through Vignette 1, Vignette 2, and combined Vignette perspectives. The researchers made used of the descriptive comparison method so that necessary contextualization of the enhanced program can identify in the first-year college students taking Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSE) degree program in two colleges in CALABARZON. Nevertheless, findings showed that the institution is in great need of a thorough contextualized curriculum of BSE students, as there is a substantial difference in the degree of academic resilience when grouped according to specialization courses. It implied that when the students have different lenses in facing academic adversity through the influence of their chosen specialization, it is important to create not a generalized program but for specific areas of specialization. Also, the age group of students although in the same year level needs to be considered in enhancing the program since it is as well significant. The researchers believed that a contextualized program for future teachers is the key to nation building as the primary goal of education and hence must be planned carefully through the proposed program of this paper.
