Predictors of the performance in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) of the education graduates of De La SalleUniversity-Dasmarinas: bases for improved administrative policies/ Olivia M. Legaspi, Manuel G. Camarse.

This study determined the predictors of the performance in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) of the Education graduates of De La Salle University-Dasmariñas from 1998-2006 as bases for improved administrative policies. The descriptive method of research was used with specific emphasis on correlation. Five hundred seventeen education graduates from 1998 to 2006 were the subjects of the study. The data were taken from the following documents: COE DLSU-D LET results from 1998 to 2006 provided by the PRC, high school form 137, and the students' transcript records. The data were analyzed using the mean, standard deviation, Spearman rank correlation coefficient, and stepwise multiple regression. Based on the findings, the study concluded that Education students belong to the average level in terms of performance in high school. The ratings of the graduates in LET are low with a number of them getting a failing mark. There is a significant relationship between the performance in LET and high school GPA, performance in general education courses, professional education courses, and major courses. The best predictors of LET are the performances in general education courses and major courses. Policies on admission and retention of students, as well as instructional procedures may be changed based on the results of the study.
