Research Locale
The SJIT Main Campus, located at central part of Butuan City, is composed of
three 5-storey buildings and 7-storey building. It has a total campus area of 4600sq.m.
Bounded by Montilla Blvd. at the western side, T. Calo St. at the south, R. Calo St. at
the east and Rosales St. on its northern side. The 5-storey L-shaped old bldg. that was
constructed on 1980 has 4 classrooms, two administrative offices and five laboratories.
The 5th floor is occupied by local GMA channel 7 TV station and Killer Bee FM station.
Another L-shaped 5-storey building that was completed and occupied in 1991 is
the NAS Bldg. The whole ground floor of this building is occupied by six administrative
offices, including the office of the President, and the 323 person capacity SJIT MultiMedia Center. The upper floors are composed of 25 classrooms. 7 laboratories, 3
college offices, 3 air-conditioned college audio-visual rooms (AVRs), the School
Medical/Dental Clinic, the HRD office, 4 male comfort rooms and 4 female comfort
rooms.
The 5-storey LCS Bldg., which was occupied on 1995, caters most of the engineering
classes. It has a total 9 classroom, 4 laboratories (two engineering laboratories and two
internet laboratories), the school bodega at the ground floor, the College of Engineering
and Architecture office and its AVR at the 2 nd floor and the Main Library B at the 5 th floor.
The latest building in the campus, which was occupied on 2003, is the 7-storey NJS
Bldg. It has 5 classrooms, 3 college AVRs, and four laboratories. The whole ground
floor of this building is composed of 4 administrative offices.

The entire 4th floor is the place for SJIT Main Library A, which is fully airconditioned, and the 6th floor is the schools accreditation room. NJS Bldg. is equipped
with a 10 person capacity passenger elevator. All buildings at the main campus are
interconnected at all floors to have a traffic access at all classrooms, offices and other
facilities.

Respondents/Subject
The total population of the institution enrolled in 3rd year engineering students in
Saint Joseph Institute of Technology is 63. And because of that the researchers decided
to pick all of them to answer the questionnaire prepared by the researcher since our
respondents is only the 3 rd year engineering. And it will not be biased for the 3rd year
engineering students who are taking their respective course in Saint Joseph Institute of
Technology.

Research Instrument
The researcher uses a questionnaire as a tool to gather information from the
respondents of their research. There are 3 parts of the questionnaire. Part 1 is the
background of the respondents this is done for us the researcher know their
respondents. Part 2 is the teaching and learning activities rating. Part 3 is the Academic
retention rating. The said questionnaire had been reviewed and validated by an expert.
The researchers questioners consist of six questions in each of these components
namely utilization of visual aids, oral communication, and application and classroom
activity same to the academic retention the level of understanding also consists of six
questions.

Data Gathering
The researchers will ask permission from the dean of College of Engineering and
Architecture to allow the Third year Engineering Students student to answer the
questionnaire. The questionnaire will be distributed inside the campus and they will
explain it to the respondents of what is the purpose of the study and the researchers
should also ask the permission of the respondents before giving the questionnaire.
Statistical Treatment of the Data
The study employs descriptive correlational method which used mean, frequency and
percentages. It also employed regression analysis to test the correlation between the
level of the teaching preparedness and the level of teaching effectiveness of student
teachers in their off-campus student teaching.
All data obtained were analyzed and computed using the following statistical
procedures:

Average Weighted Means (AWM). This was used to determine the extent of
teaching and learning activities and the academic performance in the problem 1& 2
Pearson R. This was used to determine the relationship of teaching and learning
activities of the 3rd year engineering student of Saint Joseph Institute of Technology of
Montilla Blvd. Butuan City Caraga Region in problem 3.
P Value. This was used to determine the correlation if the hypothesis of the
statement of the problem has an extremely effect to hypothesis and on the other hand it
is used to know if the hypothesis is rejected or accepted.
