“…An early study of Catura in 2007 (cited in Corpuz, Faltado & Mayordomo, 2014) This result supports previous studies that investigated factors affecting LET performance of Education graduates. One of the factors pointed out was attendance in LET review (Amparo, 2012). Visco (2015) likewise confirmed that licensure exam review is a good LET performance predictor.…”

This paper explores the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) experience of Bachelor in Elementary Education (BEEd) topnotchers of the University of Southeastern Philippines (USeP) Tagum-Mabini. This qualitative single case study sought to determine topnotchers preparations and attributes deemed contributory to successful topping of the LET. Data were obtained through interviews from the seven (7) purposively sampled participants who were the pioneering batches of LET topnotchers in the BEEd program, covering years 2011-2015. Semi-structured in-depth interviews (IDIs) were conducted to gather results for an information-rich case study. Qualitative data analysis was applied identifying emergent categories and themes based on participants quotes excerpted from interview transcripts. Findings indicate that BEEd topnotchers preparations consisted of the following: goal setting and knowing oneself; interest in reading and overlearning the material; being test-wise and understanding the nature of the LET; and attending a LET review program and committing to it. Five strong contributory attributes were also revealed such as: having metacognitive test-taking skill; strong faith in God; good support system; solid foundation in college; and active participation in a study group. Majority of them expressed their College (the College of Teacher Education and Technology) contribution and influence to their success through competency-based instruction, quality faculty and LET-type assessment. More intensive and extensive training and enhancement which focuses on the identified preparations and contributory attributes may be targeted to produce a common ground for effective teaching-learning practice for future graduates.

Resumen: El punto de partida de este estudio es que el buen cine pedagógico es capaz de suscitar, vicariamente, ricas experiencias vividas acerca del modo de ser y relacionarse un adulto con menores, especialmente como espectadores-profesores bien predispuestos. Seleccionamos quince profesores participantes, y elegimos tres películas consideradas pedagógicamente valiosas: el criterio central de éstas fue contar con un profesor-protagonista con claros indicios de excelencia en la relación educativa con sus alumnos. Gracias a un cuidadoso visionado de los fi lms, los participantes experimentaron subjetivamente un considerable número de signifi cados vividos a partir de escenas representativas de esas películas; escenas en las que los protagonistas mostraban claramente ser educadores ejemplares en su relación con los alumnos. A continuación, los participantes narraron relatos sensibles, derivados de su experiencia vivida, sobre aspectos y matices de algunos de los más plausibles rasgos de excelencia educadora presentes en tales protagonistas-profesores. En base a esos relatos, aplicamos rigurosamente el método fenomenológico-hermenéutico, como es propuesto por van Manen. Tras ese proceso obtuvimos una serie de signifi cados esenciales sobre lo que es -y debería serun profesor excelente a partir de las experiencias vicariamente vividas acerca del modo de ser y relacionarse con los alumnos esos destacados profesores-protagonistas. Al fi nal, presentamos el Texto Fenomenológico, que recoge de forma evocativa los mejores hallazgos -seleccionados en este artículo-de esta investigación no convencional.

“…Phenomenological research provides an opportunity for researchers to help people gain a new understanding of the meaning of these phenomena -these aspects of lived experiences. This qualitative research approach is designed to offer people insight into phenomena such as spiritual organization leaders' quest for wholeness (Thakadipuram, 2010); the lived experiences of outstanding teachers (Amparo, 2013); gay male law enforcement officers' experiences learning to cope in a masculinized industry (Collins & Rocco, 2015); entrepreneurial learning experiences (Cope, 2005); the embodied experience of taking part in extreme sports (Willig, 2007), experiences with technology (Cilesiz, 2011), and the experience of being mentored (Gibson, 2006;Gibson & Hanes, 2003). Because there is a wide range of things that people can consciously experience (e.g., phenomena such as emotions, decisions, plans, and activities), this research approach has been used in many disciplines and academic fields.…”

“…For a view that includes related Eastern philosophy, see Kafle (2010). Because researchers of phenomenological studies typically include discussions of the philosophical and historical grounding of their studies (e.g., Amparo, 2013;Cope, 2005;Gibson & Hanes, 2003;Groenwald, 2004;Willig, 2007), I encourage readers who are interested in conducting phenomenological research to get a sense of how researchers position their work among the branches of phenomenology and use that observation to better understand the research or the guide. Readers can then also reflect on their own philosophical understandings, so that their ensuing research related decisions are aligned with those understandings as well as with what they have learned about the varied practices and philosophical tenets of phenomenological research.…”

The purpose of this article is to introduce readers to phenomenological inquiry, an inductive qualitative research approach that is rooted in the philosophical proposition that researchers can gain valuable insight into the structure of how people understand their experiences. It is assumed that there is a structure or essence to the meaning people make of their experiences that can be described and that human experiences are spiritual, physical, emotional, psychological, temporal, spatial, etc. Perceptive descriptions of these experiences can inform more humane workplace policy and helpful new theories. To develop such descriptions, researchers must challenge their own and a priori theoretical understandings of the experience. The article presents information about lifeworld, epoche, and essence; major tenets of the approach. Various ways of understanding and conducting phenomenological inquiry are also presented, including examples of how proponents of various viewpoints discuss methodological concerns. Further, the article provides guidelines for conducting phenomenological research, illustrated with examples of online accessible phenomenological studies in a variety of fields that were conducted from different viewpoints. The article stresses the importance of researchers being knowledgeable about the various viewpoints in order to be articulate about their own phenomenological methods decisions.
