N2  - This study aimed to come up with Needs Assessment Inventory intended for   MAAP Midshipmen. Implication of identified needs to guidance and counseling practices   was also generated.  Descriptive method of research was employed.  The respondents   were chosen by stratified random sampling and were composed of six hundred fifty-two   (652) midshipmen/women from East and West Campuses of the Maritime Academy of   Asian and the Pacific (MAAP).  This study adopted the Input-Output Model having the   profile of the respondents and their needs in five general areas as the input, and the   Student Needs Assessment Inventory as the output.    One-hundred one (101) items were extracted from the original researcher-made   questionnaire of 160-item needs assessment. All of the items on Spiritual Needs of the   students were retained in a single factor; almost half of the items on Coping Responses   were retained and were grouped into seven underlying factors relevant to students‟ coping   responses.  A number of items on Character Formation were loaded significantly in a   single factor, while several items in Attainment of Objectives were extracted into four   factors, and five factors were extracted relevant to the Health and Safety needs of the   students.    Findings revealed that midshipmen‟s need along the Five General Areas   consistently showed low priority in terms of needs satisfaction.     In terms of Spiritual Needs, there were no significant differences found on gender,   program and academic performance, while significant difference was found in terms of   class. It was also found out that Spiritual Needs of 1st class midshipmen were higher than   that of 3rd and 4th class midshipmen.           vi      In terms of Coping Responses, Character Formation, Attainment of Objectives,   and Health and Safety, there were no significant differences found on gender and   programs while significant differences were found on class and academic performance.   Needs in these areas were found to be higher for 4th class and those with fair/poor   academic performance.     Considering the findings and conclusion of the study, the following   recommendations were offered: as the output Needs Assessment Inventory has been   statistically treated and analyzed in order to fit with the present conditions and experiences   of midshipmen at MAAP, use of the tool should be incorporated as part of guidance   services; the guidance program should be in constant review and the needs assessment   results should be used as basis in order to develop or modify guidance programs; further   test of construct validity of the one-hundred one (101) items of the Needs Assessment   Inventory be done; lastly, as students in regimented academies in the country have   specific needs, other researchers are also encouraged to work on the standardization of   Needs Assessment Inventory for regimental schools
