Abstract:

Passing the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) is an indication of the quality education offered by Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) in the country (Antiojo, 2017). The purpose of the study was to examine the factors affecting the LET performance of the Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEED) and Bachelor of Secondary Education (BSED) graduates of Saint Michael College of Caraga who took the LET in 2017-2019. The descriptive method design was used to analyze the factors affecting the LET performance. The statistical tools utilized in the study were frequency and percentage computation, regression, and weighted mean. Based on the finding, the researchers concluded that the strongest factor affecting the LET performance as perceived by the graduates was the In & O campus pre-service education while the weakest factor was the Facilities & Resources. The result anchored the attribution theory of Weiner, which stated, students’ failures and successes are attributed in terms of motivation, abilities, efforts, lucks, and difficulty of the learning task. It also implied that excellent LET performance was attributed to a higher and better level of motivation in academic performance. It was recommended that school administrators must improve policy implementation to help further students and the teaching force improve the Licensure Examination for Teacher (LET) passing rate. Moreover, continuous monitoring should be done, such as surveying the students and identify the weakness of students for training and development.
