Abstract

The study gathered quantifiable insights on the impact accreditation experience have on the quality of education of ASAS-member schools in Luzon and the NCR. A descriptive research design was employed with the use of a standardized questionnaire modified to suit the locale. Respondents totaled 1,970 composed of administrators, teaching and non-teaching personnel and students from nine ASAS-member schools: LCC-Manila, LCC-Deparo, LCC Caloocan, LCS-Balagtas, LCC-Mercedes, LCC-Tanauan, LCC-Valenzuela, Assumpta Academy, and LCUP-Malolos. The correlational and regression analyses revealed that accreditation experience, in terms of the following variables (1) professional development, (2) teaching-learning environment, (3) organization management and leadership, (4) faculty and staff morale, (5) quality of instruction, and (6) short-term and long-term benefits, was found to have significant combined effects on the quality of education of ASAS schools. The best accreditation experience determinant of quality of education was found to be its Short/Long-term benefits. This was followed by Professional development and Teaching-learning environment.
