CONCLUSION
5. Based on the results of the studymonitoring strategies were designed for student-teachers’
evaluation guide.
Based from the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn out by the researcher:
1. Student-Teachers of the State Universities and Colleges in the Province of Negros Occidental who are
mostly female with age bracket of 20 years old and below are mostly sons and daughters of parents who are
mostly elementary and high school graduates who work as unskilled or service workers with an annual
income which is low.
2. Student-teachers are perceived to be competent on the domains of the teaching and learning process.
Community linkages, however, need to be improved.
3. There is no significant difference in the perception of the level of competence of the student-teachers by the
respondents.
4. There is no significant relationship between the competency of the student-teachers and the identified
variables in the profiles.
