The graduates from 2004-2008 who took the Licensure Examination for Teachers with in the covered period were the respondents of the study numbering to 111 which were trimmed down to 33 respondents.  Finding of the study showed that:

5. Of the paired variables, the coefficient of correlation r = 0.62; 0.36; 0.37; 0.40; 0.59 showed marked positive and significant relationships with dependent variable slightly influenced by independent variable. Similarly, Teaching Performance of the 33 respondents was slightly influenced by their Academic Performance and Licensure Performance.
