Status and Trends of Teacher Education Board Performance of Pangasinan State University Alaminos City Campus

Abstract

Performance of a higher education institution in licensure examinations is also a determinant factor of its effectiveness, especially in the context of relevant curriculum. This study assessed the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) performance of the teacher education programs of the Pangasinan State University Alaminos City Campus (PSU-ACC) from 2014 to 2019. The study is quantitative, employing the descriptive-correlational research design. Findings disclosed that PSU-ACC performed higher than the National Passing Rate (NPR) of LET examinees nationwide, based on the yearly Institutional Passing Rate (IPR). However, the trend line equations of the IPR performances of BEEd and BSEd imply that there is a possibility that the IPR of both programs would lie below the NPR, which must be avoided. Further, greater number of teacher education LET examinees could produce higher number of LET passers. It was also found out that the IPR of PSU-ACC increases along with the NPR. Moreover, the BEEd program performed significantly higher than the BSEd program in terms of the percentage above NPR and the IPR. The conduct of thorough in-house LET reviews for graduating students and the infusion of such activity in the curriculum were recommended to improve the LET performance of PSU ACC.
