Performance on the Licensure Exam for Teachers among Liceo de Cagayan University Education Graduates

Liceo de Cagayan University started its BSE and BEED offerings during the first semester of the school year 1993-1994. This year, the College of Education is set for level III PACU-COA Accreditation. One of the ten areas to be evaluated is the LET performance of the graduates for the last 4-5 years. This study was undertaken to determine the LET performance of the BSE and BEED graduates from 2011 to 2014. Specifically, this study sought to determine the LET performance of the graduates in three subject areas included in the board exam namely general education, major subjects and professional education; to determine whether general weighted average (GWA) and pre-board performance were significantly correlated to LET Performance and whether the two independent variables can significantly predict the outcome of Licensure Examination for Teachers. Since the study involves describing the LET performance and correlating it with GWA and pre-board performance, descriptive-correlation method of research was employed in this study. The data used in this study were LET Results of BSE and BEED graduates sourced from the PRC; General Weighted Average computed from the transcript of records of the graduates and the pre-board in-house LET review results. The statistical treatment and Computations of the mean, frequency, correlation and regression were done using the SPSS. Findings revealed that LET performance of the LDCU graduates for the last four years was low for general education, moderate for major subjects and high for professional education. Results for the computations of correlation showed that General Weighted Average (GWA) and LET performance have moderate positive correlation whereas pre-board and LET performance have a high positive correlation. Lastly, Results of the computation of linear regression reveal that both GWA and pre-board performance can significantly predict the outcome of the licensure examination for teachers.
