Abstract:

The academe assures the effectiveness of their educational programs by analyzing determinants of education graduates’ performance in Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). One of the pressing concerns of the College of Teacher Education of Quirino State University is the passing percentage of its graduates in the licensure examination; thus, the researchers carried out this study to determine if the students' academic grades are a predictor of their performance in the board examination. The researchers used the descriptive method employing descriptive and inferential statistics. The data gathered were subjected to appropriate statistical tools. Multiple Regression Correlation was used to make predictions about the performance of graduates in the LET using academic performance as a predictor. Findings revealed that the correlation between the overall rating in LET and General Education indicated a high correlation. In contrast, the correlation between Professional Education and Specialization showed moderate correlation and slightly high correlation, respectively. Thus, there was a linear relationship between the three academic subjects and the overall rating of LET. On the other hand, results also revealed that the overall academic average correlated slightly high to the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) overall rating, indicating a linear relationship. This result means that the better the graduate's academic subjects, the better is their performance in the overall rating in the (LET). Moreover, only the General Education average statistically significantly contributed to the regression model. However, the overall academic average was found to be significant in predicting the variance in the Licensure Examination for Teachers’ performance.
