However, we, the researchers wish to express our profound gratitude. In the very beginning we would like to express our gratitude to our instructor, Ms. Jennylyn E. Mejia, for her valuable guidance and supervision. We are also grateful to Mr. Efren Gavina who helped us in the statistical analysis of this research. Our thanks go as well to the teacher-education students who had served as our respondents to make this research worthwhile. Likewise, to the PSU Faculty and Staff headed by Prof. Simeon C. Cabansag the College Dean, Dr. Gemma V. Mamaril De Vera who showed us their willingness and sound advises for the accomplishment of all the requirements particularly in this course. Above all, we are indebted to the glory, honor and praise to the almighty God for giving us power and strong determination to overcome all trials and obstacles. Without God, we are nothing for what we are now. This work is wholeheartedly and lovingly dedicated. BENJIE M. BANAGA DANICA C.
