Adviser:
Based on the data gathered, tabulated and interpreted, the following findings
were revealed:
iv
1. The level of performance of the RTU Education graduates in both the Pre-board
examination and September 2013 LET exam is described as below national
passing percentage (in general education and professional education subjects
only).
2. The computed value of r= +0.23 and r= +0.30 establishes a little/negligible
positive linear correlation such that an average value of LET examination
changes only slightly (only occasionally) in response to changes in the Pre-board
examination.
3. There is a weak but significant correlation between the performance in the Preboard examination and Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) at the 0.05
level of significance.
4. The simple regression analysis shows that as the performance rating in the Preboard examination increases, there is also an increase in the LET performance
of the examinees. A regression model was designed to predict the passing
percentage in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET).
v
2. Though the relationship of the pre-board examination and LET settled a
little/negligible positive linear correlation, it still has a corresponding value
although little in the reflection of LET performance of the graduates.
3. The result in the pre-board examination has a weak but significant correlation to
LET performance of the graduates.
4. There is a directly proportional relationship as the pre-board examination result
increases, theres also an increase in the performance in LET of the examinees.
To those who will perform poorly in the Pre-board examination, further review
sessions may be arranged in order to increase their probability of passing the
licensure examination;
4. The proposed regression model may be used to predict the LET exam
performance of the RTU Secondary Education graduates.
vi
5. Future researchers may replicate this study to include other sets of predictor
variables not used or cited in this study. Replication of this study may also be
conducted in the same setting to find changes of findings and conclusions over
time so as to strengthen or refute the findings of this study.
