Abstract

To investigate the relationship between the performances in high school, National Secondary Assessment Test, and College entrance Examination of the first year Radiologic Technology students of DLSU-A, Dasmariñas, Cavite SY 1995-1996. Specifically, this study aimed to: (1) Find out the performance in high school of the first year radiologic students of DLSU-Agunaldo, 1995-1996. (2) Find out the performance in National Secondary Assessment Test of the Students. (3) Find out the performance in College Entrance Examination of the students. (4) Determine the difference in high school performance when the students are grouped according to sex. (5) Determine the difference in the National Secondary Assessment Test performance when they are grouped according to sex. (6) Determine the difference in the College Entrance Examination when they are grouped according to sex. (7) Determine if there is a significant relationship between the high school grades and the College Entrance Examination of the students. (8) Determine if there is a significant relationship between the performances National Secondary Assessment Test and the College Entrance Examination of the students. This study was limited to one-hundred sixty eight (168) first year radiologic technology students of De La Salle (100%) of the total population. The total population of 168 first year radiologic technology students which was 100 percent of the total population was used. A documentary analysis was conducted to get the data on high school performance, NSAT and CEE. In the analysis of data gathered, the mean t-test of uncorrelated means and Pearson Product - moment correlation coefficient were the main statistical treatments used in this study. Mean was used to determine the average level of performance in high school, performance in high school , performance in National Secondary Assessment Test and in College Entrance Examination. The t-test of uncorrelated mean was used to find out the significance of the difference among the means in the following comparison: (a) High school performance when the students are grouped according to sex (b) performance in National Secondary Assessment Test when the students are grouped according to sex (c) performance in College Entrance Examination when the students are grouped according to sex. Pearson Product - Moment Correlation Coefficient was Pearson Product - Moment Correlation Coefficient was used to determine the relationship between high school performance and NSAT and between high school performance and College Entrance Examination. Based on the findings gathered the following conclusions were formed: (1) The first year radiologic technology students of De La Salle University-Aguinaldo SY 1995-1996 had average performance in high school. (2) The first year radiologic technology students had satisfactory performance in National Secondary Assessment Test. (3) Most of the first year radiologic technology students got passing mark in the College Entrance Examination. (4) Sex was fount out not related to high school performance, performance in National Secondary Assessment Test, and College Entrance Examination, both male and female have the same level of performance. (5) Based on the investigation, high school performance is better predictor of College Entrance Examination than performance in National Secondary Assessment Test.
