Abstract

State Universities and Colleges in the Philippines which offer teacher education programs have peculiar characteristics in terms of the outcomes of their products in the national licensure examination for teachers. The study is concerned with determining the self-similar patterns among those graduates who failed the licensure examination by the use of fractal statistical analysis. Results revealed that self-similarities are evident among the state schools with average to large volume of non-passers but such similarity ceases to be operant among the state schools with low percentage of non-passers or low failure rates viz large number of passers. This result implies that the state schools that are performing well in the national teachers’ licensure examination have adopted strategies quite distinct from the strategies used by the other types of state higher education institutions. State schools with high passing rates, therefore, have strategically utilized their available resources to optimize their licensure examination performance.
