Performance of Teacher Education Graduates in the Licensure Examination

Abstract

The major objective of the study was to determine performance of Eastern Visayas State University- Ormoc City Campus graduates in the Teachers Licensure Examinations from 2005-2009 as perceived by the graduates in terms of general education, professional education and specialization. This study utilized descriptive-correlational approach with a questionnaire to gather information. There were 145 respondents of this study covering the five-year period with identified specialization. The desired numbers of respondents were selected by way of the purposive or deliberate sampling method. Unlike some other similar studies where data were solely obtained from the school’s registrar and from PRC, in this particular paper the researcher requested the respondents a photocopy of their transcript of records and PRC results along with the questionnaire. The accumulation of these pertinent documents was made easy for the researcher since almost all of the respondents had been his former students; thus they showed no hesitation in surrendering their academic papers. It is where the credibility of the study lies. The desired numbers of respondents were selected by way of the purposive or deliberate sampling method. The findings showed that the overall rating in LET gleaned 65(44.8%) of the respondents had an overall rating of 75 – 79, 15(10.3%) had an overall rating of 80 -84 and only 2(1.4%) reached the overall rating of 85 – 89. A total of 82(56.5%) of the respondents obtained a passing mark in the national licensure examination.
