University SY 1997-2007 using a survey-structured
questionnaire was conducted to examine retrospective
contribution of their education to their current
work. The objectives of the study included the
determination of graduates’ job-placement profile;
how relevant are school-related factors like curriculum,
instruction, faculty; student services; organization
and administration, physical plant, facilities and
laboratories to the job placement; the determination of
what skills developed while at school are considered
useful in meeting the demands of their present work
and the formulation of a program that will enhance
the relevance of the college curriculum and services.
A total of 97/122 (80%) graduates responded where
78% (76/97) are certified licensed radiographers.
All respondents were employed on a full-time basis aligned to the program. The following were found to
be very relevant in meeting the demands of their jobs:
curriculum, instruction, competencies of the faculty,
student services, organization and administrative
services.Furthermore, the intellectual, communication
and interpersonal skills, competencies, and work-
related values they learned and developed while at
school as well as the performance in written and oral
assessment of the employers were considered the most
important contributing factors in seeking employment
after graduation.

Determinants of Lecturers Assessment Practice in Higher Education in Somaliaijejournal
This research investigated the determinants of lecturers' assessment practices in higher education institutions in Mogadishu, Somalia. The factors that determined the lecturer’s assessment practice were design, interpretation, application, and administration mechanisms. A quantitative research design was conducted. The questionnaire was used, Cronbach's alpha value is.917. This shows that the scale's internal consistency and reliability for this sample are quite excellent. r =.636, P = 0.000,.05., the findings revealed a significant, favorable, and robust relationship between design and lecturers' assessment practices. Also, the correlation table shows a good connection between assessment, interpretation, application, and lecturers' assessment practice. (Explained) (r =.575, p = 0.000,.05) (R =.516, p =.000, 0.05) there is a strong positive relationship between assessment design, interpretation, and application to lecturers’ assessment practice. I recommend that the administration of public and private higher education institutions focus on in-service training on how to upgrade the skills of lecturers toward assessment practice.
Regression techniques to study the student performance in post graduate exam...IJMER
Aptitude of students entering into Post graduate courses in INDIA is an aspect to be studied.
Entrance Examinations do test the aptitude but to a certain extent. Post graduate students are expected to
have a certain level of aptitude and this aptitude should be sustained till the end of their course and
beyond. Therefore, it is a necessity to examine to what extent their aptitudes are getting tested. The marks
scored by the students in the entrance examination is an indicator of the aptitude but does not speak of the
ability of the students in all the aspects or the subject of their specialization in the post graduate courses.It
has been observed that a causal dependency exists between the degree marks and the entrance test marks.
This paper tries to investigate this dependency with linear regression techniques. On the whole , categories
of students are identified by studying the distribution of marks. A mapping between the marks and the
questions are being studied. Linear regression technique is being used to identify the groups of students
and to predict the expected marks that the future students would score.

Terminal Competency Assessment of Core Nursing Knowledge in a State UniversityRyan Michael Oducado
Assessment of educational outcomes upon completion of the nursing program is one way to inform academic institutions of the effectiveness of their teaching-learning practices. A descriptive correlational study design was carried out among 141 graduating nursing students of West Visayas State University to assess their terminal cognitive competency on core nursing knowledge framed under the National Nursing Competency Standards’ 11 Key Areas of Responsibility. All regular graduating students in the year 2015 with complete records of secondary data needed for the study were included. A validated and reliability tested questionnaire was used to assess the terminal core nursing knowledge competencies of the students. Results revealed that students, prior to graduation, had good core nursing knowledge. Significant differences were found in the terminal core nursing knowledge of students when grouped according to Nursing Aptitude Test (NAT) and academic performance in professional nursing courses, with students who had excellent and superior NAT performance and those with very good and outstanding academic performance in professional nursing courses having significantly higher terminal core nursing knowledge. NAT and academic performance had significant, positive correlation to core nursing knowledge. Further, NAT and academic performance accounted for 46% of variance explained in the core nursing knowledge of nursing students. Higher Education Institutions, therefore, must commit themselves in providing quality nursing education by ensuring proper, responsive and relevant implementation of the nursing curriculum. This in turn may translate to attainment of intended educational outcomes and learners knowledgeable of the basic foundation of nursing practice.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

THE PERFORMANCE OF FEU PRE-SERVICE SPED TEACHERS IN IE-FORMULATED
COMPREHENSIVE EXAMINATION AND ITS INFLUENCE
ON THE LICENSURE EXAMINATION FOR TEACHERS

Remoroza, Jobelle F.
Dela Cruz, Jonh Nicko
Tesoro, Edward
ABSTRACT
The study is intended to primarily reveal the relationship of a comprehensive
examination constructed and administered by the Far Eastern University- Institute of Education
to the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET). The researchers used the descriptive-
correlation method of research. The respondents, consisting of 19 LET and comprehensive
examination takers from the BEED- Special Education program were selected through
convenience sampling. Findings revealed that there is significant correlation between
performances in the two examinations. Results of the comprehensive examination can validly
predict performance in the LET.
I. INTRODUCTION
Quality education is the goal of every educational institution and one aspect that may
help in achieving this is to have effective teachers. Licensure test is one of the factors that
influence the overall quality of teacher effectiveness. For the researchers, this is a problem
because to take the licensure exam without insight or understanding means to take it with
mind and body, but not with heart. One aspect that the researchers want to determine is the
effect of taking a comprehensive examination before taking the licensure test.
A comprehensive examination imitates the actual examination which gives information
to students and administrators on whether or not the students are ready to take an external
examination. Moreover, it provides information on students’ areas of strengths and
weaknesses, and can serve as practice in taking tests under full examination conditions
(Montemayor, Elizabeth S., et. al.,2009).
Education is the foundation of the nations’ progress. But, if these teachers aren’t
committed and effective, even the best- designed curriculum will fail.
The researchers will determine the effects of the respondents’ performance ratings to
their board performance, whether it increases or decreases their motivation during their
professional examination. On the other hand, the researchers will also seek the importance of

the influences of having a practice in test-taking skills during the review classes of the
respondents when it is applied upon taking the licensure examination. Likewise, the researchers
will also determine the level of readiness of the research participants in taking the licensure
examination as it depicts their level of competency. Hence, determining these factors and/or
indicators that may affect the results of both the examinations will provide the researchers a
clearer perspective of the outcome of this study.
IE- Formulated Comprehensive Examination
A comprehensive examination imitates the actual examination which gives information
to students and administrators on whether or not the students are ready to take an external
examination. Moreover, it provides information on students’ areas of strengths and
weaknesses, and can serve as practice in taking tests under full examination conditions
(Montemayor, Elizabeth S., et. al.,2009). As used in this study, it is a mock board examination
formulated by the Institute of Education administered to graduating students.
The Problem
This study, thus, aims to determine if the performance of teacher education graduates
of FEU in the IE-formulated comprehensive examination has a significant effect to their
performance in the LET. As a result, it will find out if performance in the IE-formulated
comprehensive examination can validly forecast the result in the licensure examination.
II. METHODOLOGY
This study used the descriptive correlation method which is designed for the researchers to
gather information about present existing conditions needed on the chosen field of study.
The respondents of this study were the 19 Bachelor of Elementary Education major in
Special Education graduates of FEU- Institute of Education Batch 2013 who took both the
comprehensive examination and the Licensure Examination for Teachers last September 2013.
The research was conducted in the Institute of Education of Far Eastern University-
Manila where the researchers are studying.
The researchers used the FEU- BEED Batch 2013 results of both the Licensure
Examination for Teachers (LET) which was obtained from the Professional Regulation
Commission (PRC) and comprehensive examination which was obtained from the Institute of
Education.
Data were statistically treated using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences,
Version 20 (SPSS, v.20).

III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
The influence of the mock examination on performance in the LET is gleaned from the
correlation values between the two variables. Simple regression analysis was conducted if the
correlations were found to be significant. Regression analysis was conducted to derive a
regression equation formula in predicting LET performance from performance in the
comprehensive examination.

Table 6 reveals the computed correlation between the over-all performance of the BEED-
SPED graduates in the comprehensive examination and general average in the LET.
As shown, the comprehensive examination result and LET result has a high relationship and
it is evident on the value of r=.797. The r2
value of .636 is also very high; this shows that 63.6%
of the variability of the LET result is explained by comprehensive examination result.
The regression model is y = .595x + 48.419 (letting y = LET result; x = comprehensive exam
score). This implies that for every 1point increase in the comprehensive exam score there is a
corresponding increase of .595 in the general average LET rating.

Applying the formula, if an examinee gets an over-all percentile score of 50 in the
comprehensive examination (wherein 50% is the passing grade and if transmuted, it will be
equal to 75%), the predicted general average in the LET is 78.169.
IV. SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The significant correlations and regression coefficients imply that the results of the
comprehensive examination constructed can validly predict performance in the LET of the
BEED-SPED graduates. It also revealed that the influence of the mock examination on the LET
cannot be underestimated.
There are many factors that could affect this probability to pass, still the institute or the
university must know what areas need to improve so as to help the students and increase their
knowledge, enhance their skills, and boost their motivation.
It can be concluded that performance in a comprehensive examination significantly
influences performance in an actual examination. Based on the findings generated in the study,
the following conclusions are hereby drawn:
1. The IE-formulated comprehensive examination is a valid predictor of performance in the
Licensure Examination for Teachers.
2. No review classes were provided for the graduating students who will take the licensure
examination though seminars were provided through the organizations of the institute.
3. The result of the Licensure Examination for Teachers for the year 2013 showed good
results though it also shows a declining trend from the year 2012.
4. No rewards have been given to the board passers.
5. A plan of action was designed to enhance the passing percentage in the Licensure
Examination for Teachers.

Recommendations
Based on the findings of the study, the following recommendations are offered:
1. To the Institute of Education, continue administering comprehensive examination to
graduating students and/or to those who graduated prior to LET taking;
2. To the Faculty, items in the comprehensive examination must be patterned to the
Table of Specifications of PRC, and major examination should be board-exam type so
as to prepare them for the licensure examination;
3. To the administration regular review sessions must be provided through the
institute for them to increase their probability of passing the board examination, full
support from the office/ administrators must be provided as well to increase
motivation and self- reliance;
4. To the curriculum developers, review classes for both comprehensive and licensure
examination should be included in the undergraduate curriculum if possible, or at
least be provided so as to prepare them for the licensure examination after
graduation;
5. To those who will perform poorly in the comprehensive examination, further review
sessions may be arranged in order to increase their probability of passing the
licensure examination; and
6. For future researchers, that they may conduct an extensive study gathering all the
