Status Of Compliance of The Bachelor of Physical Education (Bped) Program Among Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) In Region 1

Abstract

This study aimed to look into the status of compliance among the Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) in Region I offering the Bachelor of Physical Education (BPEd) Program. Data collection involved a survey questionnaire, interviews, and a content validation tool. Analysis included frequency counts, percentages, and means. Findings reveal several key aspects of the BPEd Program in the five (5) Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs): a diverse age range among faculty, with a mix of young teachers offering fresh perspectives and senior faculty providing guidance; a near-balanced gender ratio, predominantly single faculty members; a notable percentage of faculty still pursuing master's degrees, emphasizing the importance of faculty development programs; a significant number of contractual employees, indicating the need for more permanent positions; a high level of compliance in curriculum, library, laboratories, physical facilities, and admission/retention policies; some administrators lack doctorate degrees, and almost half of the faculty members are not holding master's degrees; overall satisfactory faculty development programs; and challenges identified include insufficient resource materials, low enrollment, and a lack of specialized facilities and equipment.
