Comprehensive Enrichment Examination
ABSTRACT
This study was conducted to determine the implementation and challenges encountered
in the on-line comprehensive enrichment examination of the Bachelor of Secondary Education
and Bachelor of Elementary Education in the Urdaneta City University during the Second
Semester of School Year 2018-2019. Particularly, the study determined the profile of the
respondents namely course and major, Comprehensive Enrichment Program enrolled/completed
and the gadgets used in taking the on-line quiz. It also determined the extent of implementation
of comprehensive enrichment program in terms of attainment of the objectives and strategies
employed in its implementation. Likewise, it also looked into the challenges encountered in the
on-line comprehensive enrichment examination.The conclusions are drawn based on the findings
of the study: (1) Majority of the respondents in terms of profile variable major were BEED-
Generalist students who were enrolled/completed the different Comprehensive Enrichment
Program using smartphones in taking online quizzes/activities; (2) the objective of CEP on-line
program is attained but needs improvement on its target to provide remedial reviews and it
identify the strengths and weakness; (3) among the six challenges encountered in the
implementation of Comprehensive Enrichment Program, internet connection garnered the highest
weighted mean of 3.63 and described as often. In addition, mobile application has a lowest
average weighted 2.49 and described as sometimes respectively; and (4) there is a significant
relationship between the CEP 1 and the challenges encountered in the on-line comprehensive
enrichment examination. Based on the findings and conclusions, the researchers recommend the
following: (1) the College of Teacher Education should make a more comprehensive program for
the Comprehensive Enrichment Program as it is included in the curriculum, (2) the College of
Teacher Education should endeavor to come up with review materials to be provided to the
students, (3) the university administration should provide accessible and excellent internet
connection commensurate to the internet fee being paid by the students, (4) Rationalization of
the correct answer should be conducted after taking the on-line quiz, (5) flyers should be given
for massive information dissemination on the conduct of Comprehensive Enrichment Program,
and (6) the College of Teacher Education should address the needs of the students for review
session provision for classroom and teacher in charge of the different subject areas.
