A COMPARATIVE STUDY IN THE PERFORMANCE OF THE FIRST TAKERS OF THE LICENSURE EXAMINATION FOR TEACHERS (LET): AN ACTION RESEARCH

The analysis of the data shows that there is a significant increase in the performance of the LET takers in the general education component of the LET when the number of sessions was increased in 2018 in-house review sessions. This means that the intervention was effective and impressive to both BSED and BEED programs. In like manner, there was also a slight increase in the performance of the BSED takers in their area of specialization. On the other hand, there was a stable performance in the professional education component of the LET for the two consecutive years. From the results of this study the researchers suggests that the CTE may continually review the curriculum to include varied professional activities and the inclusion of board type tests during the major term exams. More so, the components and competencies to be tested in the LET and the equivalent weights will be explained to the students during their junior and senior years, for them to be prepared when they will take the subject educational synthesis and the in-house review program.
