Abstract
This study focused on the assessment of the respondents on the extent of sustainability of the preliminary survey in the accreditation of the BS Psychology Program. The material used in this study was the questionnaire checklist. The instrument was used to determine the extent of sustainability of the preliminary survey in the accreditation of the BS Psychology Program of the College of Sciences. The researchers adopted the questionnaire and it was revised to suit the purpose of the study. The research design in this study was the descriptive survey method. The purpose in the use of the descriptive survey method laid on the fact that the main intention of the researchers was to determine the extent of sustainability of Preliminary Survey of the BS Psychology Program of the College of Sciences. The study was conducted in DMMMSU-SLUC, College of Sciences. Administrators, faculty, students, and parents of the College of Sciences particularly in the BS Psychology Department for the school year 2003- 2004 comprised the population. The researchers made use of the total enumeration for the administrators and faculty respondents. For students (2nd - 4th year BS Psychology)and parent respondents, the researchers made use of simple random sampling. To determine the exact sample of the study with regard to student and parent respondents, the researchers used the Sloven formula Ferguson (1981). The study had a total of 108 respondents. Of this number, 65 were students, 30 were parents, 11 were faculty, and 2 were administrators of the BS Psychology Department of the College of Sciences. The following statistical tools were used: frequency count to determine the response of the respondents on the extent of sustainability of the preliminary survey in the accreditation as perceived by the respondents; weighted mean and average weighted mean, Statistical Packages of Social Sciences (SPSS) program and Analysis of Variance (ANOVA)through the Micro stat Program was used to determine the differences between the respondents perception on the extent of sustainability of the preliminary survey in the accreditation of the BS Psychology program of the College of Sciences. Findings of the research revealed that: 1. Areas 2- (Faculty, 3- Curriculum and Instruction, 8- Physical plant and Facilities and 10- Administration) was perceived by faculty respondents to have been sustained to a "very great extent". 2. All areas (1-10) of accreditation were rated by the parent respondents to have been sustained to a "great extent". 3. The administrator respondents perceivedto have sustained to a "moderate extent" the areas 3- (Curriculum and Instruction) and 5- (Research and Extension). The administrators perceived have sustained to a "great extent" the other 8 areas. 4. The student respondents viewed that the program has sustained to a "moderate extent" and rated areas 3- (Curriculum and Instruction) and 6- (Extension and Community Involvement).Ali, other areas were rated by same respondents as having sustained to "great extent". 5. In Area 1- (Mission,goals and objectives),students, parents and faculty respondents rated items and broadcast media and e- novelty items "moderate" in their extent of sustainability. Administrator respondents rated the same items to a "least extent". On the other hand administrator respondents rated item 3 of Area 1 to a "very great extent" while item 5 was given also a rating a "very great extent" by the faculty respondents. All other items were rated by the sets of respondents to a "great extent". 6. In Area 2- (Faculty), items i.e. (rank and tenure) l.f (recruitment and selection) were rated "moderate extent" by student and parent respondents while administrators rated said items to a "very great extent". In general, this area received higher ratings over the other areas. 7. In Area 3- (Curriculum and Instruction), Administrator respondents gavethe lowest ratings on the items, compared with the ratings given by student, parent and faculty respondents which are "great extent". 8. In Area 4- Students, all items had average mean equivalent to a "great extent". However, the administrator respondents rated items 1 (updates alumni directory for follow up and placement purposes) and 5 (awards the students of a student center to accommodate officers for student organizations)to a "moderate extent". 9. In Area 5- (Research), administrator and student respondents gave the lowest rating on the different items compared with the faculty and parent respondents. The items 2.c, 3.a and 4.b were given a rating of "least extent" by the administrator respondents while l.a and l.b were rated "very great extent" by same respondents. 10. In Area 6-(Extension and Community Involvement),item 1 (designates full time extension awards) was rated "least extent" by faculty respondents. Items 2 and 3 were rated by student, parent and faculty respondents as a "moderate extent". 11. In Area 7- (Library),items 1.a was rated to a "moderate extent" by student, faculty and administrator respondents; items 1.b was rated to a "moderate extent" by student, parent and faculty respondents; while 4 and 5 rated "least extent" by administrator and "moderate extent" by faculty respondents. 12. In Area 8- (Physical Plant and Facilities), the items were rated to a "great extent" by student and parent respondents and "very great extent" by faculty and administrator respondents. However,item no.4 (provision for drinking water and facilities areas) rated "least extent" by the administrator and item no. 1 (provision for male and female quarters) was rated "moderate extent" by student and parent respondents. 13. In Area 9- (Laboratory), items 3a.S (sanitary facilities) was rated by the student, faculty and administrator respondents as "least extent" by the respondents, items b.2 (suitably surfaced graded and drained) and b.4 (adequately maintained) was rated "great extent" by parent, faculty and administrator respondents and "moderate extent" by student respondents. While item b.3 (appropriately out for a variety of activities) was rated "moderate extent" by the student and parent respondents, on the other hand the faculty respondents' rated "very great extent" and "least extent" by administrator respondents. 14. In Area 10- (Administration), item l.a (faculty manual) was rated "moderate extent" by student and parent respondents, "very great extent" by faculty respondents, and b by administrators; item l.b was rated "moderate extent" by students and parent respondents, "great extent" by faculty and "least extent" by administrators. 15. The responses between and among the four group of respondents (students, administration, faculty, and parents) did not differ in the first nine areas of accreditation. Responses differed significantly on the last area (Administration). As a result of the findings, the following conclusions were formulated: 1. Almost all areas of accreditation were rated by the respondents to have sustained to a great extent. 2. Area 3- (Curriculum and Instruction) was rated by both administration respondents and student respondents as moderate in its extent of sustainability: Area 6 - (Extension and Community Involvement) was gained a moderate rating by the student respondents while area 5 - Research was given by the administrators a rating of moderate. 3. The faculty respondents rated Areas 2 - (Faculty), 3 _ (Curriculum and Instruction), 8 - (Physical Plant and Facilities) and 10 - (Administration) to have a very a great extent in terms of sustainability. Based from the findings and conclusions the following recommendations are given: 1. More activities in the dissemination of the MGO's should be done specially in the used of broadcast media and printing of MOO in different novelty items. 2. Students and parents should also be informed of policies pertaining to faculty recruitment and selection in their rank and tenure. 3. Administrators should involve faculty and students in curriculum review sand planning. 4. Alumni directory should be updated for placement and follow-up purposes. Other recognized organizations should be given a place in the student center. 5. Administrators should assign or designate qualified manpower to the research units and teachers assigned to do research activities should be reloaded with teaching assignments. Research findings should also be disseminated and published on time. 6. Full-time extension workers should be designated by the administrators. Teachers assigned to do extension activities should be reloaded from teaching assignments. 7. The library should be equipped with more facilities like audio-visual equipment and carrels. Administrators should provide for staff development to the librarians. Resource center should also be made available. 8. There should be provisions for living quarters for students. Drinking facilities should also be provided 9. There should be adequate measures in the laboratory room for the safety of the students and teachers. Drinking facilities should also be provided in the laboratory room. 10. There should be an additional manual for non-teaching personnel. 11. The administration and all those involved In the accreditation of the BS Psychology should exert effort to meet all recommendations given by the accreditations; 12. More efforts be exerted to improve the areas which were rated moderate in the extent of sustainability like Curriculum and Instruction, Extension and Community Involvement and Research; 13. Another study will be conducted to include more respondents particularly that of administrators, alumni and community folks especially after the conduct of the formal visit of the AACUP; 14. Results of the study are for future accreditation activities.
