Licensure
Examination
Performance of Teacher Education Graduates and Professional Education Unit
Earners. Benguet State University, La Trinidad, Benguet.
Adviser: Carmelo W. Madinno, PhD
The study examined the performance ratings of the Secondary
Education takers of King’s College of the Philippines in the Board for Licensure
Examinations for Professional Teachers (BLEPT) for seven years. The data
from 2011 to 2017 were analyzed using descriptive research design involving
documentary analysis. Findings revealed that more passers registered from
2012 to 2015 and first timers usually are more successful than repeaters.
Further, the college accumulated performance ratings are below the
75% passing rate in all categories. Performance ratings were highest in the
General education area and lowest in the field of specialization. In all
examinations, the first-time takers had consistently outperformed the
repeaters. In terms of field of specializations, the Biological Sciences graduates
registered
the
highest
passing
rates.
Proposed
interventions
were
recommended to further improve the BLEPT preparation and ratings of the
students.
