PERCEPTION ON THE LEVEL

OF PREPAREDNESS IN
TEACHING OF THE
GRADUATING EDUCATION
STUDENTS AT UPang
INTRODUCTION
Perception as defined by Livingstone (2008),is “the act or process of
becoming aware of internal or external sensory stimuli or events,
involving the meaningful organization and interpretation of those
stimuli.” In psychology, perception also applies to evaluations of one’s
own and others’ internal states and beliefs as well as sensory stimuli and
a person’s perceptions are not necessarily identical to the stimulus
object or event being perceived.
Teachers play a very big role worldwide. Nowadays, only 42% of
public high school students, 56% of private high school students and 25%
of middle school students responded that most of their teachers came
prepared for class (Blackburn, 2012), and from the preparation program, a
state-approved course of study, the completion of which signifies that an
enrollee has met all the state educational or training requirements for initial
certification or licensure to teach in the states elementary or secondary
schools.
STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM
This study determined the level of preparedness in teaching of
graduating students at UPang, A.Y. 2017-1018.
Specifically, it answered the following questions:
1. What is the profile of the respondents in terms of:
a. Gender;
b. Age;
2. What is the level of preparedness in teaching as perceived by the
following respondents:

3. Is there a significant relationship between the profile variables of

the respondents and their perception on the level of preparedness in
teaching?
SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY
Education Students. This study helps the education
students to get ready and to be prepared before their on the
job training. Through this, education students learning and
motivation are expected to improve.
Graduating Education students. This study can help
