Abstract

Using descriptive-correlational method, the study aimed to determine the perception of faculty, prospective teachers and stakeholders on the Moral Intelligence (MI) of faculty and prospective teachers of PNU-North Luzon. Subjects and participants of the study were 34 faculty members, 142 graduating students and 174 stakeholders.The analysis of data gathered through a questionnaire showed the differences in perception among the participant. While faculty self-report MI is high, prospective teachers' self-report MI average. Stakeholder perceived faculty MI is high and average for that of prospective teachers. The findings have practical significance for the moral development of teachers in that they verify the moral virtues in action, and provide PNU-North Luzon faculty with a foundation for leadership and moral intelligence development program. Moreover, the research offers a functional view of what direction educators, teachers and prospective teachers (graduates) can take in deliberately fostering moral intelligence in-service and pre-service.
