Factors Affecting The LET Performance of the Guimaras State College Education Graduates

Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the factors affecting the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) performance of the Education graduates of the Guimaras State College. The descriptive-correlational method was used in the study.

Secondary data of the LET results for the five consecutive years (2003–2007) of the graduates of the School of Education of Guimaras State College were used.

The statistical tools employed in this study were mean, frequency count, and percent. Pearson product moment correlation (Pearson's r) was used to determine the relationships among variables.

The graduates were mostly female (232 or 85%) while (42 or 15%) were male. Of these 274 graduates, 198 or 72.26% took the exam and 76 or (27.7%) did not take the exam. From the total of 198 takers, only 80 or (29.20%) passed, 118 or (43.1%) failed.

There were graduates who took the LET twice and passed; some took the LET twice but failed.

The level of LET performance of the graduates when grouped according to gender and age showed an overall performance of average. There was a significant relationship which existed between the Grade Point Average and gender of the graduates with their LET performance.

The GPA of the graduates affected their LET performance, wherein those who had higher GPA had high probability of passing the LET.

The gender of the respondents could be considered as a factor in their LET performance, considering that the graduate respondents were composed of 85% female.

The GPA and gender of the graduates affected their overall LET performance.
