Abstract

To determine the predictive validity of the revalida examination on internship performance of radiologic technology interns of De La Salle University - Aguinaldo, SY 1994-1995. Specifically, (1) To find out the level of performance in the revalida examination of the subjects. (2) To find out the level of performance in the internship training program of the subjects. (3) To determine the difference in the revalida examination performance of the subjects when they are grouped according to sex. (4) To determine the difference in the average internship performance of the subjects when they are grouped according to sex. (5) To find out if there is correlation between the performance in the revalida examination and the internship performance of the subjects Included in this study were the 98 or 100% of the total population of the radiologic technology interns of De La Salle University - Aguinaldo, SY 1994-1995. This study made use of the descriptive-documentary design which concerned two variables namely, the performance in the revalida examination and the performance in the internship training program with the demographic variable sex. The data used in this study were the official result of the revalida examination and the grades from a set of evaluation form given by the clinical supervisors to affiliated hospitals of the College of Radiologic Technology. In the analysis of data gathered, the population mean, t-test of uncorrelated means and Pearson Product Moment Correlation were the statistical treatment used in this study. In the light of the findings above, the following conclusions were drawn: (1) That there is no significant relationship existing between the revalida examination performance and the performance in the internship training program of the subjects when they are grouped according to sex. (2) That the performance between revalida examination and performance in the internship training program of the subjects have no correlation. (3) That the revalida examination performance was not predictive enough as compared to the internship performance of the radiologic technology interns. This simply means it does not necessarily follow that when a radiologic technology student performed good in the revalida examination, it will also mean a good internship performance. However, it does not mean that when the performance in the revalida examination is poor the student would also have poor performance in the internship training program.
