The target population was 251 principals, 407 mathematics teachers, and 14,752 Form three students, giving a total of 15,410 respondents. The study sample consisted of 25 principals, 42 mathematics teachers, and 375 students. The researcher used questionnaires for mathematics teachers, interview schedules for principals, and focus group discussions for students. Cronbach’s alpha was used to determine the reliability of the questionnaire, giving a correlation coefficient of 0.939. Quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics, while qualitative data were categorized into themes and thematically analyzed.\u0000Results: The findings revealed a significant relationship between teachers’ pedagogical knowledge in ICT integration and students’ performance in Mathematics.\u0000Recommendations: The study recommends that mathematics teachers should choose appropriate technologies to incorporate in their teaching methodologies in the actual classroom to enrich what they teach, how they teach, and what students learn.","PeriodicalId":252711,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational Research in Developing Areas","volume":"8 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-10-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126395295","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Passing the licensure exam brings prestige not only to pre-service physical science teachers but also to the academic institution, as it projects the public the impression of producing quality graduates.\u0000Purpose: The objective of the study is to determine the extent of the factors that contribute to the performance of pre-service physical science teachers in the licensure examination for teachers.\u0000Methodology: The purposive sampling technique was used. Since there are only 34 takers on the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET) in the year 2012, the author decided to utilize the total enumeration with 6 out of the total population being maximized in the reliability testing. A descriptive method of research design was employed to determine the extent of the contributing factors.\u0000Results: The subsequent results revealed that, in terms of teacher and review class factors, it was rated as high extent. School facilities factor was rated moderately extent and student factor as very high extent. Referring to the significant difference in the extent of the factors on the performance of pre-service physical science teachers in the Licensure Examination for Teachers (LET), it was found that there is no significant difference among the factors.\u0000Recommendations/Classroom Implications: The findings suggest that intensive review classes should be strengthened with a strong focus on the specialization and professional education subject areas as they contribute 40% each of the total result in the LET.","PeriodicalId":252711,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Educational Research in Developing Areas","volume":"131 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-08-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116525510","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
