Abstract

The study was undertaken primarily to find out the educational qualifications of instructors in the College of Radiologic Technology at De La Salle University - Aguinaldo, SY 1992-1993. Specifically, it sought the answer to the following questions: (1) What are the educational qualifications of the instructors in the College of Radiologic Technology? (2) What are the difficulties encountered by the college instructors in complying with the requirements prescribed by DECS? (3) What are the benefits offered by the University to upgrade the educational qualifications of the faculty? (4) What kind of in-service training along Radiologic technology have the faculty attended? (5) What comprehensive examinations have the instructors taken and passed? (6) Are the faculty qualified on experience requirement stipulated in Article IV of DECS Department Order No. 20, S. 1989? The study is premised on the following assumptions: (1) Almost all of the faculty members of the College of Radiologic Technology meet the criteria for the college teaching as required in Article IV of DECS Department Order No. 20, S. 1989. (2) All had taken and passed the required comprehensive examinations for Rdiologic Technologists. (3) Almost all have at least two years of teaching experiences. The study made use of the descriptive, normative survey considering the nature of the problems. The respondents were the nine (9) full-time instructors of the College pf Rdiologic Technology at De La Salle University - Aguinaldo, SY 1992-1993. The main data gathering instrument was the questionnaire distributed to the respondents, data of which were interpreted to answer the problems raised. Unstructured interview with the instructors were also resorted to augment information gathered which were not very clear. The statistical treatment of the data made use of the tally-frequency count, percentage, and ranking. In the light of these findings, the following conclusions was drawn: (1) The faculty should still upgrade their qualifications to make them fully qualified. (2) The most common difficulty encountered by the respondents relative to attendance in MA course was lack of time for studies. This is partly due to the fact that their time is usually spent to study more on the subjects assigned to them, and in preparing the necessary materials for instruction. (3) The administration is aware of the needs of the faculty instructors. That is why benefits were offered like discount/free tuition fees, and attendance in-off campus seminars, workshops and conferences to upgrade the minimum qualification that the instructors have. (4) Instructors teaching CT Scan, MRI, Nuclear Medicine, and Dental Radiography are still lacking of the needed training and experience to be more effective in teaching the subjects. (5) Eight instructors had taken and passed the comprehensive examinations as stated in Article IV, Department Order No. 20, S. 1989. (6) For lack of faculty to handle RT classes, new applicants were hired even if they do not possess the three years or two years working experience as prescribed by DECS. They are taken on temporary basis only.
