This paper evaluates the initial formation program offered by the Holy Rosary Minor Seminary to those who enter the seminary after their high school and/or college studies from 1976-1985. The paper investigates whether significant differences exist in the perceptions the respondents have of the formation program and its aspects. It also tries to identify what they view as general or specific areas of strength or weakness. The last section offers some concrete suggestions in response to the findings from the data. A questionnaire patterned after that of Victor Franco, FSC was used to collect data. The respondents were 145 candidates who are persevering in their priestly formation 28 candidates who withdrew from the seminary and 18 formators. Mean scores are used to identify the perceived levels of effectiveness, and consequently, the perceived strengthes and weaknesses. The t-test is also used in the comparison of the perceptions of two groups at a time while the analysis of variance is employed in comparing the three groups' perceptions. Findings and conclusions: 1. The general finding is that the Pre-College Formation Institute, in general and its aspects are of considerable effectiveness. 2. The formators tend to give higher ratings followed by the candidates who are persevering. 3. The spiritual formation which is the emphasis of the program is rated the highest in terms of effectiveness by all the groups of respondents, while personality development is at the bottom of the line - the fourth. The formators will have to be encouraged to give more attention to this aspect. 4. The generally positive findings indicate that there is no pressing need to alter the philosophy or the formation program. However, the perceived weaknesses in its implementation should be given attention by those concerned. 1985-01-01T08:00:00Z text https://animorepository.dlsu.edu.ph/etd_masteral/90 Master's Theses English Animo Repository Discipling (Christianity Holy Rosary Minor Seminary (Philippines) Pre-College Formation Institute Educational Assessment, Evaluation, and Research
