The input variables considered were socio-personnel characteristics, in-service training programs, and specific training needs program. Process variables consisted of assessment of training program, implementation of the program, and evaluation. Overall, knowledgeable and skilled college teachers, effective and committed to their work, and better teaching performance of teachers were classified as the output.
Selected state colleges and university in Region III were Bataan State College (BSC), Bulacan National Agricultural State College (BNASC), Pampanga Agricultural College (PAC), Western Luzon Agricultural College (WLAC), and Central Luzon State University (CLSU).
Respondents of the study were 111 faculty members. Questionnaire was used as instrument for the agriculture teachers. Data gathering was done from October to December 2000. Descriptive statistics, ANOVA, and F-test were used to analyze the data.
