Abstract

The shift towards computer-based licensure examinations (CBLE) marks a pivotal change in assessing librarians’ qualifications, making it crucial to examine how takers perceived this new method. This descriptive-comparative research aimed to determine if there are significant differences in the perception of the respondents towards CBLE and the effectiveness of the preparation strategies. A self-made questionnaire that passed the test of content validity and internal consistency was administered to thirty-six (36) takers in each of Region XI and XII using a universal sampling technique. Data gathered were analyzed using mean score and independent samples t-test. Results revealed a very high perception towards CBLE, usefulness got highest mean in two Regions while knowledge about CBLE rated lowest in Region XI, and familiarity rated lowest in Region XII. Meanwhile, respondents perceived preparation strategies as extremely effective, test-taking strategies got highest mean in two Regions while review techniques rated lowest in Region XI, and technical preparation rated lowest in Region XII. Finally, results revealed that perceptions towards CBLE and effectiveness of preparation strategies do not significantly differ. Based on the findings, it is recommended that the LIS teachers should ensure that students are fully exposed to computer-based testing to increase level of students’ familiarity to format.
