Fractal Dimension Analysis of Pre-Board and Licensure Examination Results of Teacher Education Graduates

Abstract

This study aimed to analyze the Fractal Dimensions of pre-and licensure examination results of teacher education graduates of one State University in the Philippines to find the strengths and weaknesses for possible intervention programs. In this study, the descriptive-correlation method of research was utilized. Data of 2132 graduates were requested in the Office of the Professional Regulation Commission (PRC) through the consent of the University President. Triangulation of the result was done through unstructured interview to the dean and associate deans of the different campuses of College of Teacher Education in the State University. Fractal dimensions among the ten consecutive licensure examinations were utilized. Results of the study showed that fluctuations on the pre-licensure examination performance significantly influence the fluctuations on the actual licensure performance. Also it was found that the higher the diversity on the performance in the pre-licensure examination, the more compressed is the performance in the actual licensure examination.  Based on the result, it was recommended to study further the status of Licensure examination result of the universities and analyze possible predictors of fluctuations.
