Abstract

This descriptive study aimed to correlate the PT Board performance of DLSY-PT graduate for the year 1994 to the following variables namely: their NCEE, Admission Score, General Weighted Averages, Internship Grade, Transferee, Non-transferee, Degree-holder and Non-degree holder. 70 (69%) of the 102 board takers were included in the study. The data were collected and analyze using Pearson Correlation Coefficient and Chi-Square test. Results revealed that the General Weighted Average for the Third and Fourth PT proper and Internship Grade had a good correlation with the board performance of Batch 1994. A fair degree of relationship was found between Admission Score and their Board Performance. The authors also found out that there is no significant relationship between the board performance of Batch 1994 whether they are Transferees, Non-transferees, Degree-holders and Non- degree holders. In the light of the findings of this study, the proponents highly recommend that the admission criteria for the third year be reassessed and the qualifying exam be revised to conform with the needs, requirements and recent trends of Physical Therapy. Also, for the college to the intellectual growth of the De La Salle interns and to forego those centers that frustrate the purpose of the internship program.
