Psychology both as a scientific and academic discipline has experienced a
tremendous growth since it was formally recognized as a field of scientific
inquiry.
Generally, when a psychologist provides services to either individuals or groups,
such as assessment, evaluation, and intervention, a certification will be needed
before one can render such services
The Philippines has taken great efforts in order to professionalize psychology
(RA 10029; PAP Certification) . Likewise, efforts have also been done to ensure
that the skills and competencies of psychology graduates are at par with
national and international standards (PQF, AQF)

PHILIPPINE PSYCHOLOGY ACT OF 2009 (RA 10029)
enacted on March 29, 2010.
Recognizes the practice of psychology in the Philippines, legalizing both
psychologists and psychometricians
October 28-29, 2014 (psychometricians)
Psychometricians: 1,290 passers out of 3,283 examinees, national
passing rate of 39.31%
San Pedro College: 19 out of 48 examinees passed the licensure
examination, with a college passing rate of 39.58%

RATIONALE
The identification of the factors which affect the performance in the
licensure examinations will be a research-based guide in the review
of the policies affecting the Psychology program such as on the
admission and retention policies, or the possibility of setting a
minimum grade point average that the students are expected to
maintain.

The study aimed to determine the predictors of the BLEPP result of the BS
Psychology graduates of San Pedro College during the AY 2014 – 2015.
Findings will serve as bases for a proposed action plan.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
Adult Learning Theory by Malcolm Knowles (1984)
adults are motivated and self-directed, goal-oriented learners.
Adults need to be involved in their entire process of learning and are
more likely to be most interested in topics that are most relevant to their
personal and professional life.
College students need to be treated as adult learners and should be given
the opportunity to become problem-centered in their approach rather
than just content-based.
