THE PERFORMANCE OF MATHEMATICS MAJORS IN THE LICENSURE EXAMINATION FOR TEACHERS OF BAGUIO CENTRAL UNIVERSITY

Abstract

The main purpose of this study was to determine the level of effectiveness of the interventions or strategies used in enhancing the performance of Mathematics majors in the Licensure Examination for Teachers of Baguio Central University graduates. This study was experimental in design with a five (5) – year duration that covers three (3) successive Licensure Examination, in which the respondents involved six (6) Mathematics Major BCU Graduates divided into three (3) batches of LET takers: one (1) for the first batch during the 2014 LET examination; one (1) for the second batch during the 2015 LET examination; and four (4) for the third batch during the 2016 LET examination. Based from the LET passing rate, it was found out that the interventions or strategies used to enhance the performance of Mathematics majors in the Licensure Examination for Teachers of Baguio Central University were very much effective; thus, leads to a decision to accept the stated assumption of the study. Hence, based from the finding of the study, it was concluded that the interventions or strategies employed by the researcher were very much effective that the respondents were able to successfully pass their Licensure Examination; thus, enabling them to be “professionals”. Thus, by exposing these respondents to an intensive Mathematical problems and activities, on the emphasis of ‘experiential learning’ and ‘reflection’, the researcher’s interventions or strategies were able to maximize the learning growth of these respondents.
