Assessment of Psychological Test Results of Freshmen Education Students

Abstract

Psychological testing in schools is a beneficial activity that helps a student achieve their goals and helps diagnosed social, cognitive, or behavioral problems. This study aimed to assess the psychological test results of education students in a Philippine state university. The study utilized secondary data from 443 education students at the university. Descriptive measures and multiple regression models were employed in evaluating the data and determining the influencing factor of psychological test results, respectively. Results revealed that the selected demographic variables as gender, degree program, type of high school, and over-all grade point average have no significant association with the psychological test results of education students. Furthermore, this study has documented the robust and positive evidence that Mathematics and English grade point average contributed to the psychological test scores of the students. The results go to infer that students with a good background in Mathematics and English subjects in high school have a good foundation in analytical and logical thinking during college.

Academic Predictors of Performance in the Board Licensure Examination for Psychometricians

“…Generally, specific courses significantly predict board examination results, which is in consonance with the contention and conclusion of Aure and Casinillo (2020) regarding specific subjects and their association with test results. Additionally, the results in this study support the findings of Cuy (2021), which indicated that performance in undergraduate Abnormal Psychology courses significantly predicts success in the BLEP, while the other professional and board courses in psychology were insignificant predictors of BLEP performance.…”

In a different context of the test result, the findings on GPA negate a more recent exploration of psychological test results (Aure & Casinillo, 2020). Moreover, these results support the findings that enrolling in a review center and review modality are insignificant predictors of passing licensure examinations (Fuente, 2021).…”
