Mathematical models of performance in licensure examination for teachers of Nueva Vizcaya State University

Abstract

The study aimed to develop mathematical models of LET performance of Nueva Vizcaya State University. This study used a descriptive-correlational method. This study found that the level of performance in both academic and LET of BS Math is higher as compared to the performance of BSED. It also found that a significant negative correlation exists between academic and LET performance indicating that the higher grade in academics means a higher probability of having a high score in LET. Moreover, professional education subjects and English is found to be significant predictors of LET performance. And among others are social sciences, chemistry and major subjects. Furthermore, among the academic constructs, professional education subjects have the most predicting power in discriminating LET takers to whether pass or fail and major subjects have the least discriminating power. Results also revealed that the course together with attending an in-house review has no interaction effect on the level of performance in LET. But there is a significant difference in the main effect on LET based on attending in an in-house review class except in professional education component. There is also a significant main difference on the main effect on LET based on course except in the specialization component. Hence, this study recommends to escalate the level of academic performance, research may be conducted to identify factors affecting the academic performance of BSED and BS math students; improve the level of LET performance, students of BSED and BS Math should thrive to have high grade on the identified predictors of LET in this study.
