Abstract
A college have good facilities, money, well-designed program and leadership; however, a very large extent of successful delivery of services depends on the quality of persons engaged in the educational process and effective discharge of responsibilities. The aim of the study were to determine the knowledge, attitude and skills by the students and clinical instructors themselves, to determine the association between the clinical instructors’ personal or professional observation and their clinical teaching performance and find out the suggestion to improve related learning experience. A descriptive study was conducted to assess the knowledge, attitude and skills ofthe students and clinical instructors. A total of 190 nursing students and 31 clinical instructors were randomly selected. Data was collected using structured interview schedule. Findings of the study showed that the age of the clinical instructor from college A and college B ranged from 20 -29 to 50 and above brackets. Their average age is 35.09 and 40.21 for CI from college A and college B respectively. The monthly salary of the clinical instructors from college A ranged from below P10,000 to P15,000 – 19,999 salary brackets with an average of P13,588. In the case of clinical instructors from college B, the salaries ranged from P20,000 to P25,000 and above with an average of P27,286. The students from college A assessed the clinical instructor administrative responsibilities, duties and functions as “ almost always” ( X̄ = 4.20) while those coming from college B assessed this as “always” (X̄= 4.57). There was no significant relationship between age, gender and civil status of the clinical instructors and their performance relative to knowledge and facilitating skills. The most common suggestions of the clinical instructors and nursing students from the two colleges of nursing to improve RLE should be taken seriously by the college administration. These are the improvement of skills laboratory, upgrading professionally of clinical instructors through seminars, workshops etc, and the development of standardized evaluation system for RLE.The clinical instructor is a very important factor in the educative process of the nursing profession. Thus the quality of teaching performance he/she renders determines the progress of civilization.
