The Problem and Review of Related Literature and Studies

Introduction This study is about the relationship between post graduate studies and overall job performance of clinical instructors at Olivares College. How do post graduate studies affect their job performance? But who are the clinical instructors? hat do they do? Clinical instructors are

those nurse educators that combine clinical e!pertise and their passion for teaching in rich rewarding career. This instructors that guides students at special areas li"e hospital wards# operating room# emergency room and $IC%& and also teaches students at school they give lectures# projects and some reporting at the school. They teach students with what they have learned academically and from their own e!perience. But all of these will be useless of the clinical instructors are only just an '$ degree holder. In our society today# the commission on higher education (ualifies that a clinical instructor in a college or university must be a masteral or doctorate degree holder. hat is a

post graduate study? )ost graduate studies in nursing plays a critical role in updating and maintaining the professional competence of health professional. These are person who are post graduate individuals who choose to study again to gain "nowledge. The only tas" o f the students are to study hard and increment what they must learn. Being a teacher and a student are two different sphere of e!perience in terms of its professionalism. * teacher parta"es his "nowledge while a student absorbs the "nowledge# there are times that a person# to be e!act a teacher becomes a student again when he ta"e up his masteral or doctorate degree. But how do post graduate studies affect the clinical instructor+s job performance? In will affect greatly

because# a post graduate degree holder has the edge to teach because he has more e!perience in terms+ of e!posure in the clinical area and classroom setting.

e can+t erase some facts that clinical instructors burn out or be stressed. That+s why we are proposing for a teacher+s enhancement program. The teacher enhancement program is designed to enable teachers to present current# relevant topics in nursing and in the medical field. Teacher ,nhancement -T,. )rogram supports professional development projects to broaden and deepen the content and pedagogical "nowledge of teachers. )rojects typically involve administrators and others who play significant roles in providing (uality nursing education to promote supportive school organi/ations and cultures# enabling teachers to engage all students in rich and challenging learning environments. *ll teacher enhancement projects should address well0defined needs& deliver professional development that incorporates state and national standards for content# instruction# and assessment in nursing education& and recogni/e the critical role of teachers in promoting student competence# interest# and enthusiasm for study in these fields. The following design characteristics are considered essential for all T, projects1

teacher education that leads to improved understanding of disciplinary content# instructional practice# and the use of assessment for enhancing classroom effectiveness&

engagement of schools# parents# and communities as proponents for the support of long0term educational improvement and continued professional development of teachers&

commitment of "ey members of the school community to ensure local and state support for education# for policies necessary for education reform# and for incentives for teachers to pursue continued professional development&

a plan to develop the organi/ation and culture of schools necessary to support professional development and effective nursing education&

integration of appropriate educational technologies and networ"ing in order to increase access to high (uality education and adapt instruction to different learning styles& and#

* cost0effective strategy -based on reasonable cost0per teacher given the duration and (uality of professional development. that ensures potential for replication and scale0up and that contributes to program accountability. e have chosen this topic because# as researchers we want to "now the advantages or the

benefits that the clinical instructors could give if they have a higher degree.

Hypothesis

This part of the research is about the scientific process and is the basis for reasoning or investigation. 1 There is a relationship between post0graduate studies and overall job performance and satisfaction of clinical instructor at Olivare/ College ! There is no relationship between post0graduate studies and overall job performance and satisfaction of clinical instructor at Olivare/ College

4ignificance of the study This study aims to determine the relationship between post0graduate studies and overall job performance satisfaction of clinical instructor at Olivare/ College. School. This study will assess the professional needs of the Clinical Instructors and in turn# may guide in the design of future development programs for teachers.This study reflect the teaching stategies on the school depends upon the clinical instructor on how they educate their students.

Clinical Instructor. this study will gauge their overall performance and serve as an aid to focus their faculties on the areas that are wanting of improvement. The professor will be much updated on his reachings.the professor ac(uired more "nowledge that he will share to his students . this study guide those who are attempting to get masteral+s degree.the professor will be mar"eteble he will not have ahard time on loo"ing for o good job. This will help clinical instructoes to be guided to more "nowledge that they could share.

Students. The information gained may be utili/ed for further study on programs aimed to enhance the "nowledge and s"ills of Clinical Instructors. This research will help students to get more advanced teaching than those who don+t studied# "nowledge that the students will get to this study will benefit them in the future reference. Future Researchers. This study will benefit student nurses who would conduct future thesis about this research. The "nowledge that they will be able to e!tract will serve as a foundation for their study.

Scope and delimitations The study is limited to the Clinical Instructors in Olivares College in 4ucat )arana(ue City. The sample target will obtain by interviewing the clinical instructors in the faculty of Health 'elated 4ciences of the said institution.

Chapter II Methodology This chapter presents the methodology that will be used in the conduct of this study and will include the discussion of the research design# samplings and respondents# data gathering and statistical instruments used. 'esearch design

The reserach method that researchers will use is the descriptive survey design. It is appropriate beacause it attempt to determine# describe and analyse between post graduate studies and job performance and the dependent variabe# the teacher+s development program.it tries to find out if the independent variable significantly influence the dependent variable 4ubjects9 'espondents Clinical instructors who are currently teaching in Olivare/ College for the school year of 6CCB06C5C which is compromised twenty five -6=. percent of the total population will be the sample si/e of the study. The sample population of ten -5C. is ta"en from fourty one -85. clinical instructors of Olivare/ College. The names of the clinical instructors of the total population will be arranged alphabetically and according to their degrees. 4imple stratified random method # proportionate to si/e will be done based on the random numbers generated by ,!cel. $ames will then be pic"ed up and these will be included in the sample population. Eaterials The reserchers will conduct a test of the control and the e!perimental group from selected (uestions made by the researchers. Instruments 4elf0developed (uestionnaire composed of 5C item (uestions will be used to measure the effects of continuing education and job performance Other sources of data Other pertinent data will be gathered in the human resources center for the records of the clinical instructor+s job performance. :ata gathering procedure
