Predictive validity of selected measures of BEED graduates for first-time performance in the licensure examination for teachers

Abstract

Universities need to have an assessment that will enable their system to predict the success of their graduates on state examinations. This study aimed to determine the predictive validity of selected measures of teacher education for first-time performance on the licensure examination for teachers in the Philippines. A retrospective research design was employed in the study. The results revealed that the linear combination of selected measures is significantly predictive of the success for the first time licensure performance of graduates. However, only the SASE (System Admission and Scholarship Examination) scores were significant when taking into account the individual measures. The findings provide evidence for the valid use of the admission scores to predict the success of the graduates on the licensure examination.
