Curriculum and Quality of Instruction Factors for Successful Board Examination Performance

ABSTRACT:Teachers are the agents through which knowledge and skills are communicated. Curriculum and instruction are the instruments the teachers use in order to produce quality outcomes. The study aimed to assess the importance of curriculum and the quality of instruction provided to them during their academic years in the university and their experiential observation on the influence of these variables to their performance in the teachers’ licensure examination. Graduates of five batches of Bachelor of Secondary and Bachelor of Elementary Education participated in the survey. Results of the study revealed the general education components of the curriculum are the most influential in the graduates’ licensure examination performance. In  addition, relevant instructional tasks and sound assessment procedures in both general education and professional education courses lead to more chances of success in the Licensure Examination for Teachers.
