RESULTS

All the areas of measure to assess the preparations made by the takers received a weighted mean 3.67 within the verbal interpretation of Highly Prepared. In terms of the level of understanding of the takers, they have reached a high regard especially in possessing the appropriate comprehension and appreciation of the roles and needed preparation for the teacher profession. This result of the comparison implies that the respondents do not vary on how they assessed or perceived themselves with regards to their preparations made in the teaching career.

DISCUSSIONS

Although the level of the preparation and understanding of the respondents were obviously high or excellent, there is still a need to further orient and develop their conduct for the teaching profession in terms of the teacher induction or orientation program. The researcher would encourage the utilization of the information to strengthen their teaching career preparation. The preparation of the respondents will make them aware on areas they lack knowledge, understanding or preparation and will further equip them with competencies as well as dispose them on the overall teaching environment.
