THE PROBLEMS AND ITS BACKGROUND

Introduction

Recent trends in education in the Philippines pose new challenges in the

academe for the improvement of literacy rate among Filipinos in response to

one of the challenges of the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural

Organization (UNESCO) on Millennium Development Goal (MDG) which is to

achieve universal primary education. Equalizing opportunities in education is

“one of the most important conditions for overcoming social injustice and

reducing social disparities in any country and is also a condition for

strengthening economic growth” (UNESCO, 2008a: 24).

In this paper, when we mention about quality education we will be

speaking of the quality teachers, their competencies and qualifications on how

to develop quality of life of the learners so that they can properly serve the

society according to their roles and responsibilities as good citizens. According

to the Department of Education, teacher’s competencies are a big factor in the

academic achievement of the students. Included under teacher competencies

are teaching effectiveness, professional recognition and awards, membership

and participation in professional organizations, scholarly abilities and creative

productiveness, and university and community service (Manual of Regulation

for Private Schools, 2010).

 2

Given the current demands of various schools with regard to the

teacher’s competency, the researchers chose to look into this topic so as to

expand their knowledge on the situations and the possible remedies to some

existing problems.

Upon noticing the impact of the quality of education to the future of the

students, the researchers came up with a common view that the present

condition of the teachers’ competencies could still be raised higher.

The primary focus in this study is to determine the different factors affecting the

performance of students in school. Basically, the teachers play a vital role in

the daily lives of their students. The effectiveness of their teaching is one of the

factors that determine how well the students would do in their journey towards

knowledge acquisition. Thus, the advocacy to promote academic excellence

and quality education in San Isidro National High School in view of making this

institution a center of academic excellence made the researchers decide to

conduct the study that will determine the effects of teaching competencies and

its relation to academic performance of selected Grade 10 students in MAPEH

of SINHS S.Y. 2015-1016.

Background of the Study

Barangay San Isidro, a mountainous area of Montalban, Rizal now

Rodriguez, Rizal had no high school of its own until July 31 of 2003 when the

former of General Licerio Geronimo Memorial National High School, Mr.

Leoncio L. Gervacio, worked for the establishment of a high school annex,

 3

known today as San Isidro National High School upon its approval effective

S.Y. 2004-2005.

Under the leadership of the PTA (Parents-Teachers Association)

President Mrs. Alona Torres together with the parents requested Barangay

Captain Cecilio C. Hernandez for the opening of said barangay high school,

who then made endorsement to the Municipal Mayor, Engr. Pedro S. Cuerpo.

To support the necessity of a secondary school in this barangay, Brgy. Captain

Hernandez with his barangay councilors passed and approved Resolution No.

14A-03 dated April 14, 2003, “Kapasiyahang Nag-aatas at Nagtatalaga sa

Barangay Multi-Purpose Hall Bilang Pansamantalang Silid Aralan ng mga Bata

na papasok sa unang antas ng Mataas na Paaralan”. At the same time the

Local Government passed Resolution no. 03-66 dated May 22, 2003

authorized by Councilor Alberto P. Carasco which states “Kapasyahang

Humiling sa Department of Education (DepEd) sa pamamagitan ng Kalihim nito

na si Kagalang-galang Edilberto de Jesus upang masimulan na ang

pagpapatakbo ng Gen. Licerio Geronimo Memorial NHS – SAN ISIDRO

ANNEX sa barangay San Isidro”. Thru the able endorsement and

recommendation of DR. EDITH A. DOBLADA, Schools Division

Superintendent, the opening of the said annex was approved. This formally

opens the door for a new hope for the San Isidronians.

During the first year of its operation, the annex had limited enrolment for

the incoming first year due to inadequate space. This was made available
 4

through the generous support of Barangay Captain Cecilio C. Hernandez, who

provided for two school rooms that could accommodate at least one section of

high school students. By the end of the school year 2003-2004, a good number

of 72 students, of which 36 are male and 36 are female successfully completed

the first year curriculum, under the supervision of the OIC – Mr. Vivencio Felix.

It was rather difficult and inconvenient for the students to be

housed in a shelter where space is limited. The barangay officials witnessed

the perseverance and determination of the students to learn under the

supervision of the three (3) teachers, Mr. Jayson Gayuma – provincial item; Ms.

Maristella Ramos and Ms. Rosemarie Ramos – both volunteer teachers. This

serve as encouragement and desire to give a more comfortable and convenient

house. The Barangay Officials again under the leadership of Brgy. Captain

Hernandez passed Resolution no. 20-3, dated July 21, 2003 – Isang

Kapasiyahang Nag-aatas at Nagtatalaga ng pagpapatayo ng anim na pinto sa

mataas na paaralan ng Brgy. San Isidro sa isang open space ng Blue Star

Subdiivision na nasa SitioTanag, Brgy. San Isidro

Theoretical Framework

This study took into account the theories conducted by Francisco

Zulueta (Teaching Methods and Practices, 2005) A competent teacher should

understand the principle and methods of teaching as well as the use of

appropriate skills to be used as techniques and strategies. This theory was also

discussed by Dr. Jayasree (2013) Teachers’ knowledge of teaching

 5

methodologies and techniques are very important for to improve the standards

of achievement of the students.

According to Dr. William Glasser (2016) in his Learning Choice Theory

said that this theory helps the people to understand themselves and manage

the different circumstances or events that are beyond their control. Teachers

use specific techniques to get through to their students effectively and

productively without distractions. It is said that teachers should let the students

decide, the effect of this in academic achievement is that students loses

enthusiasm when deprived of self determination and motivation. Learning is not

a matter of following orders but taking part in the lessons as well (Alfie Kohn,

Choices for Children Sept. 1993). Knowledge is created by transforming

information and experience (David Kolb, 1984).

Figure 1 shows the concepts that make up the theoretical framework of

the study. The concept of Teachers’ Competency in class room management,

instructional materials and facilities and instructional methods indicates the

students’ academic performance.

Figure 1 Conceptual Paradigm

This study aims to evaluate the relationship between the teachers’ level

of competency and the students’ academic performance specifically in San

Isidro National High School. Figure 1 presents the conceptual framework of the

study. First, the profile of the respondents in terms of their names, grade and

section, MAPEH teacher, and third quarter MAPEH grade will be gathered as

presented in the first frame. The assessment of the students regarding their

teachers’ level of competency in terms of classroom management, instructional

materials, and instructional methods will also be gathered together with the

students’ grade in MAPEH for the third grading period. After data gathering, the

researchers will then analyze and interpret the data using appropriate statistical

tools.
 7

Statement of the Problem

The problem of the study is to determine the relationship of teacher

competencies and academic performance of selected grade 10 students in

MAPEH. Specifically, this sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the level of competency of MAPEH teachers as assessed by the

students in terms of:

a. Classroom management
b. Instructional materials and facilities
c. Instructional methods
2. What is the performance of the students based on their general average

in MAPEH for the 3rd grading period?

3. Is there a significant relationship between teacher competencies and the

academic performance of students in MAPEH?

Scope and Limitation of the Study

This study focuses on the perception of the respondents on the level of

competency of their MAPEH teachers. The respondents are selected grade 10

MAPEH students in San Isidro National High School S.Y. 2015-2016 in Rizal.

Hypothesis

For this study, the following hypothesis will be tested:

There is no significant relationship between teachers’ competencies and

students’ academic performance.

Significance of the Study

This study will be of significance to the following people:

 8

School Administrators

The findings of this study will help the administrators determine if the

teachers that they have are effective in teaching MAPEH by knowing the

academic performance of their students. Additionally, administrators would

also know if the teaching methods and strategies that the teachers are using

are effective or not and through this, administrators could easily help those

teachers who are having trouble with it especially in keeping their students

motivated which would then eventually lead to the success of their

administration in promoting center of excellence.

Teachers

As teachers play a very significant role in the teaching and learning

process, the findings of this study will be of benefit to the teachers themselves

as this study will help them determine if the methods and strategies that they

are using during classroom discussions are effective or not and through this

they will be able to develop better strategies and approach for them to better

serve their students which would be a big help for them in providing quality

education for their students.

Parents

The findings of this study would also be of benefit to the parents of the

students as they would know how their children are doing in school by knowing

their academic performance especially in the subject of MAPEH. In addition,

they will also become aware on how important their role is as parents when it
 9

comes to their children’s education. Through this, parents would be guided on

how they would assist and help their children in school and keep them

motivated to learn.

Students

Since the main goal of this study is to know if assess if teaching

competencies affect the academic performance of students, of course, the

recommendation of this study will be of significant to them since they will be the

ones who will directly experience the effect of this study.

Future Researchers

This study will also benefit the future researchers as this study could be

a basis of future research studies.

Definition of Terms

Academic performance is the outcome of education – the extent to which a

Chapter 2

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter of the research paper presents a summary of readings on

related literature and related studies which have significant bearing to the

present study. The summary was organized and presented in 5 subtopics –

foreign literature, local literature, foreign studies, local studies, and synthesis.

In preparing this chapter the researchers based on books, unpublished

materials like theses and dissertations related to the studies both foreign and

local. The researchers also made use and browsed the internet for valuable

information related to the study.

The researchers hope that this research study will contribute and

hopefully will be a part of the broad studies that can help future researchers

who will conduct a study similar to this.

The function of this section is to present informed opinions and studies

that contribute to the understanding of the area of interest and emerging issues

with intention of evaluating teaching competencies and their relation to the

academic performance of students.

Foreign Literature

In an article entitled, “Factors affecting Academic Performance of

Learners” written last June 8, 2012 by Hilma Ndapewa and Ndapewa

Mbandeka of Career Institute Africa, it states that academic performance is one

of the crucial areas of a learner’s life. Some learners may not be bothered if
 12

they progress or not, however their parents are left with great distress if their

children do not perform. This is because families as well as the government

invest in the education of the child. On top of that, generally all parents would

want their children to be successful citizens in the future.

Multiple factors come to play when it comes to academic performance of

a learner, which need to be considered should one want to perform better.

Different people believe that different factors affect learners differently under

different circumstances. However there is some form of consensus on general

factors that affect performance.

In an article written by Pam Lowe (2011), a curriculum director in

Holcomb, Missouri, she stated different ways to improve student achievement

and create learners. According to Lowe, one of these ways is to review the

school’s mission and vision statement. The vision should describe why it is

important to achieve the mission statement while looking to the future. Another

way is the school should be a change agent. Change agents are passionate

and driven about their vision. They make the tough decisions keeping what’s

best for the students in focus. Lowe added that teachers should teach students

how to learn. In order for students to be successful as learners, they also have

to discover how to learn to develop their appetite for learning. Students at an

early stage have to be taught how to self-regulate their learning, set their own

academic goals, develop strategies to meet their goals, and reflect on their

academic performance. Aside from that, teachers should teach harder and not
 13

smarter. Teachers should incorporate research-based teaching and learning

strategies during class discussions and that in order for the students to have

improved academic performance teachers need to be on top of the latest

developments in research-based strategies.

Additionally, in another article entitled “Strategies to Improve Classroom

Behavior and Academic Outcomes,” it was stated that taking measures to

improve academic performance and outcome starts with improving the

behavior of students in the classroom. Although it can seem challenging,

teachers play a large role in creating an environment that encourages learning,

improve student behavior and create better academic performance at every

level of education. Teachers can accomplish amazing feats when the

appropriate strategies are implemented to improve the behavior in the

classroom.

Aside from improving the classroom behavior of students to improve the

academic performance of students, Harry K. Wong (n.d.) in his article entitled,

“There is Only One Way to Improve Student Achievement,” he stated that a

student achievement is a result of good classroom management. He added

that it is teacher practices that govern student learning. What the teacher does

in the classroom to structure and organize a learning environment is the most

important factor that will increase student achievement.

 14

Local Literature

As stated in the DepEd Order 32 (2011), teachers development is one of

the focus in education sector right now, policies and guidelines were prepared

by the Civil Service Commission (CSC), National Economic Development

Authority (NEDA), Department of Budget and Management (DBM),

Commission on Audit (COA) to reformulate policy guidelines on designing

training and development (T&D) programs and in conducting activities for the

capacity and capability building of the DepEd personnel and staff. Training and

development (T&D) is the process by which an organization or institution

provides professional development activities to enhance individuals with

knowledge, skills and attitudes to enable them to perform their functions

effectively.

Also, DepEd Order 34 (2014), Investing in education and skills for the

youth to help achieve a dynamic economic growth and stability.

Lardizabal (1990) stated that the principles and methods of teaching

must provide the teacher with a ready reference for improved techniques, new

trends, effective approach, and modern strategies. The earnest teacher will try

out as many methods as he can, constantly finding out for himself which

methods are best in his particular field of specialization. The alert teacher is

receptive to modern practice.

 15

According to Reyes (1989), academic performance mirrors the

productive integration of the student’s interests and the teachers’ efforts at

providing a meaningful learning situation.

Acosta (2002), attempted to discover the teachers’ profile, competencies

and students’ academic achievement in selected public schools in Bulacan.

Based on her studies, she concluded that the low academic achievement of

students despite the apparent high level of competency of the teachers implies

that the teachers were not effective in achieving their objective.

Foreign Studies

According to Owolabi and Olabode Thomas (2012) teacher’s academic

qualification only is not enough to positively affect academic performance of the

students but a professional qualification in a specified field of study. He added,

experience counts in the efficiency of the teachers.

In a study involving 7000 students Wenglinsky (2000) found that the

quality of the teaching force has a comparable impact on students' test scores

as socioeconomic status. One common indicator of teacher competence is

teaching experience.

However, according to Wayne and Youngs (2003), the findings regarding

experience are difficult to interpret for several reasons. First, experience

captures the effect of whether teachers were hired during a shortage or a

surplus. Cohorts will have experienced similar competition, and selection

effects are likely to confound effects of experience. Secondly, experience

 16

measures capture differences in teacher motivation resulting from time

constraints on parents during years when their own children require more

attention. Finally, if there are differences in effectiveness between those who

leave the profession and those who stay, experience measures would capture

those as well. Such differences are probably dynamic, changing with labour

markets and cultural trends.

Adedayo (2008) included family background, personal interest, school

environment and peer group are the major factors that could affect academic

attainment. So, since the teachers (both male and female) are professional

teachers, there is no difference in their ability to impact knowledge in the

students.

Hoskins, Newstead and Denis (1997) conducted study on students at

University of Plymouth, and found out that variables; age, gender, prior

qualifications and discipline studied have an effect on their performance as

cited in Cheesman, Simpson and Wint (2006:10).

Jeong, (2005) quoted in Bae (2006:112) found out that use of internet

and the contents viewed have an effect on students’ academic performance

hence access to internet was taken as an important variable.

Hanushek, Kain and Rivkin (1998), like many other researchers have

concluded that the school effect on achievement derives mainly from variations

in teacher quality. On the basis of longitudinal data from more than one-half

million Texas students in grades 3 to 6, they concluded that school quality is an

 17

important determinant of academic performance and an important tool for

raising the achievement of low-income students.

According to Gordon (2001), lecturer/teacher efficacy is sometimes

considered to be an indicator or prediction of teaching effectiveness and

research shows that efficacious lecturers/teachers are capable of bringing

about change in students behavior, motivation, and learning outcome.

Santibañez, Jose-Felipe Martinez, Ashlesha Datar, Patrick J. McEwan,

Claude Messan-Setodji and Ricardo Basurto-Dávila (2007) specified a

moderate negative effects on student test scores the year after a teacher was

incorporated into the pay-for-performance program or got a promotion.

Because of the salary guarantees, teachers might have less of incentive to

exert additional effort with their students.

Local Studies

According to the Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers (1997), a

professional teacher is a licensed professional who possesses dignity and

reputation with high moral values as well as technical and professional

competence.

In the Philippine system of education, there are factors that give difficulty

to the implementation of objectives. The problems of inadequately-trained

teachers, lack of support either from the government or from private sector, lack

of solid planning, lack of follow-up of result – all these add to the difficulty (Nem

Singh et al., 2009).

 18

In evaluating teacher’s instructional competencies, the use of student

achievement as the basis to assess or evaluate teachers is one of the many

approaches of teacher evaluation. Other approaches in evaluating teacher’s

instructional competencies include classroom observation, student ratings, peer

ratings, principal/HOD/administrator ratings, self-rating, teacher interview,

parent rating, competency tests, and other indirect measures (Joshua et al.,

2006).

Aquino (1989) found that students’ academic performance can be

influenced by their abilities and interests, routine practices, classroom

management, motivation, and even the instructional quality.

Saliot (2011) cited that the most prevailing competency was

communication with the learners, and the least prevailing is learner

reinforcement- involvement. The most prevailing factor was intellectual, and the

least prevailing was physical. There was moderate correlation between the

competencies of college instructors and the factors affecting the academic

performance of students.

Barnuevo, Hasegawa and Hugo (2012) claims that there is no significant

relationship between the teachers’ instructional competencies and the students’

academic performances in English, Science and Technology and Mathematics.

This could be explained by studying other instructional competencies that have

direct effects on the students’ academic performance.

 19

Lansangan, Quiambao, Baking, Nicdao, Nuqui, and Cruz (2015) found

that there is no significant relationship that exists among pupil, teacher, school

related factors and pupils’ academic performance.

Ethel de Leon-Abao (2014) specified that teachers’ instructional

competence is highly instrumental in the development of students’

comprehension and critical thinking ability. Since reading is significant to

success both in the academic and non-academic undertaking, reading

instruction should be made relevant so that students will be led to function

effectively in society.

In the study conducted by Fernandez (2013) he determined that there is

no significant relationship between the teachers’ competence and learners’

performance in the Competency Based Examination under the five learning

strands.

Synthesis

Determinants of students’ performance have been the subject of ongoing

debate among educators and policy-makers worldwide. It is very challenging

since students’ performance is a product of socio-economic, psychological and

environmental factors. Te extent of student’s learning may be determined by

the grades obtained by the student in a particular grading period. It is believed

that a grade or performance is a primary indicator of such learning. This

means that if a learner gets high grades, it is usually concluded that he/she has

learned a lot. Otherwise, learner has lesser learning. However, many

 20

experiences and studies found out that there are also several factors that would

account for grades such as classroom management, instructional materials and

facilities, and instructional methods.

Classroom management plays a very important role in creating a

conducive atmosphere for learning. Good classroom management can

definitely improve student’s active participation and effectiveness of teaching.

Aside from classroom management, instructional materials and facilities

are also important. These include the textbooks, equipment, school supplies

and other instructional materials. It cannot be denied that the type and quality

of instructional materials and facilities play an important part in the instructional

efficiency of the school. It is difficult to do good job of teaching in a poor type of

building and without adequate equipment and instructional materials.

Another factor is the instructional methods. Teacher’s ineffective method

of teaching caused failures in learning. Research shows that teacher-efficacy

has an effect on students’ academic performance. It is important that teachers

believe in themselves and in their abilities as a role model and educator,

because it is important in students’ self-perception and performance. Teachers

with self-efficacy have a positive impact on their students’ academic

performance. It is something that all teachers need to build.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the research method used, population and sample

size, description of respondents, research instrument, validation of the

instrument, reliability testing, data gathering procedure, and statistical treatment

of data. This helped evaluate the teaching competencies of MAPEH teachers

and how this relates to the academic performance of students in MAPEH.

Methods of Study

This study used the descriptive research method which is designed for

the researchers to gather information about the present existing conditions

needed in their chosen field of study. Salvador, Tolentino-Baysa & Fua-

Geronimo (2008) defined descriptive research as a type of research which

describes and interprets “what is.” It reveals conditions or relationships that

exist or do not exist, practices that prevail or do not prevail, beliefs or points of

view or attitudes that are held or are not held, processes that are going on or

otherwise, effects that are being felt, or trends that are developing.

The researchers also used this type of research method to gather the

needed data and gain more information about the study because descriptive

method is designed for the investigator to gather information about present

existing conditions, to describe that nature of situation as it exists at the time of

the study and to explore of particular phenomena.

 22

The type of descriptive research that the researchers used is the survey

type. Manuel & Medel (1976) defined survey research as a method which

investigates a universe of phenomena population by selecting sample from the

population to discover the relative incidence, distribution and interrelation of

variables.

Survey method was applied and used in this study as it helped the

researcher evaluate different answers of the respondents regarding teaching

competencies of theiR MAPEH teachers and its relationship to their academic

performance in MAPEH. With the survey method the researchers have

interaction with the respondents and guided them, when necessary, in

answering the questionnaire.

Population and Sample Size, and Sampling Technique

The study employed the random sampling technique to select the

senior-citizen-respondents. A random sample is selected in a deliberate and

random fashion to achieve a certain goal.

The total sample size is composed of 222 grade 10 students who came

from different sections of the said year level in San Isidro National High School

alone.

The researchers coordinated with the School Principal and MAPEH Teachers

that cater to grade 10 students and conducted the survey in respective

sections. The respondents were the grade 10 students present at the time of

the survey.
 23

The Respondents

The respondents of the study were the 222 grade 10 students: 28 came

from 10- Rizal, 34 were from 10- Del Pilar, 32 were from 10- Mabini, 33 came

from 10- Bonifacio, 32 were selected from 10- Aguinaldo, 31 came from 10-

Quezon, and 32 were chosen from 10- Jacinto. Of the total respondents 140

were females, and 82 were males, aging from 15 to 17.

The information gathered by the researchers from the respondents

include third quarter grade and responses to different questions classified as

follows: classroom management, instructional material and facilities, and

instructional methods.

Table 1 shows the frequency and percentage distributions of the

respondents according to sex from different sections.

The Instrument

This study aims to determine the relationship of teacher competencies

and academic performance in MAPEH of selected grade 10 students of San

Isidro National High School – Antipolo. The researchers made a survey

questionnaire to come with a measurable data needed from the respondents of

the study. The use of questionnaires for the survey has the advantage of

obtaining greater honesty and accurate response from the respondents,

particularly if anonymity is maintained thus making the data more reliable.

Zulueta and Costales (2003) defined questionnaire as a set of orderly

arranged of questions, carefully prepared to answer the specific problems of

the study. It is a list of questions to be answered by a group of people

especially designed to get facts or information. It is a list of written questions

related to a particular topic provided with space for respondents to fill up. It is

the principal instrument of data collection.

The researchers used a checklist type of survey questions for the third

part of the questionnaire seeking for the respondents’ assessment on the

teaching competencies of their MAPEH teachers.

The questionnaire consists of three parts. The first part is the

introduction of the study. The researchers enclosed a brief note explaining to

the respondents what the study is all about. The second part of the

questionnaire aimed to answer the personal profile of the respondents. This

included the respondents’ name, grade, section, MAPEH teacher, and the
 25

respondents’ third quarter grade in MAPEH. The third and final part of the

questionnaire is the assessment of the respondents on the teaching

competencies of their teachers. This part questions divided into three factors

namely classroom management, instructional materials, and instructional

methods. Each factor consists of 10 questions with a total of 30 questions.

Validation of the Instrument

This study sought to determine the teacher competencies and its

relationship to students’ academic performance. Study comparison and

analysis of same material from other relevant studies will be the bases for the

specific instrument for the study. In order to guarantee the instrument’s intrinsic

value, the researchers had the initial review on issues relating to the

instrument’s wording, syntax, the constructs’ and contents’ validity. Then the

issues that were not agreed upon or that were not considered adequate were

discarded. After utilizing a questionnaire, the instrument was subjected for

expert’s validation in the field of MAPEH. After completing the suggested

modifications to the summaries’ and items’ wording and content, the items that

have not been previously agreed upon in terms of constructions were

presented anew. Finally, modified questionnaires were utilized to collect the

data for the study.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers first thought of a problem or topic that they want to

conduct a study with and then stated its purpose and importance.
 26

To gain the data needed for these first three chapters of the study, the

researchers gathered information from different books, theses, and

dissertations from library. The researchers also browsed the internet and found

some data related to the study as well. With the use of those data, the

researchers came up with the background of the study, the related literature

and some other important parts of the study.

After finishing the first three chapters of the study, the researchers also

made a survey questionnaire which will become the primary source of data that

will help the researchers determine the teacher competencies and its relation to

academic performance of students.

In collecting and gathering the data needed, first, the researchers got

permission to conduct the study from the school principal requesting

permission to allow the researchers to administer the questionnaires at San

Isidro National High School in San Mateo province of Rizal.

Upon approval of the school principal to finally conduct the study, this

was followed by the distribution of the questionnaires to the different sections of

Grade 10 MAPEH students. The data collected were finally used in generating

the findings and completion of this undertaking.

Statistical Treatment of Data

The data collected in this study were organized and classified based on

the research design and the problems formulated. The data were coded,

tallied, and tabulated to facilitate the presentation and interpretation of the

 27

results. Statistical techniques helped the researchers in determining the

validity and reliability of their research instrument. The researchers used the

following formula in this study:

1. Weighted Mean

Another statistical technique that will be used by the researcher

will be the weighted. This will be used to determine the average

responses of the different options that will be provided in the various

parts of the survey questionnaire. It is defined by the formula:

Where:

= weighted mean

= the sum of all the products of f and x, f being the frequency of each

weight as the weight of each operation.

= total number of respondents

1. Frequency and Percentage

The frequency and percentage distribution will be used to classify

the respondents according to their personal background. This will

 28

determine the profile of the respondents as to their age, gender, birth

order, family size and parents’ educational attainment. This will also

help the researcher to determine the percentage of the responses on the

survey questionnaire. It is defined by the formula:

Wherein:

P = percentage

N = number of cases or total sample

F = frequency

100constant

3. Pearson r

This will be used to prove the null hypothesis. It is defined

by the formula:

r n2

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS AND RECOMMENDATIONS

This chapter presents the summary of findings, conclusions and

recommendations of the study entitled Teacher Competencies and its Relation

to Academic Performance of the Selected Grade 10 Students in MAPEH of San

Isidro National High School S.Y. 2015-2016. This also presents the

conclusions according to the order of objectives formulated by the researchers.

Summary of Findings

This study aimed to find out the level of competency of MAPEH teachers

as assessed by students in terms of classroom management, instructional

materials and facilities, and instructional methods.

Specifically, this sought to answer the following questions:

1. What is the level of competency of MAPEH teachers as assessed by the

students in terms of:

a. Classroom management
b. Instructional materials and facilities
c. Instructional methods
4. What is the performance of the students based on their general average

in MAPEH for the 3rd grading period?

5. Is there a significant relationship between teacher competencies and the

academic performance of students in MAPEH?

The method used in this study is descriptive method. The total number

of respondents are 222 grade 10 MAPEH students. Using the Slovin’s formula,
 41

the margin of error was set at 5%. The tool employed for data gathering was

the survey questionnaire.

The results of the questionnaire were put into statistical process.

Weighted mean were computed to determine the level of competency of

teachers in terms of classroom management, instructional materials and

facilities, and instructional methods. Percentages and frequencies were used

to determine the academic performance of the respondents in terms of their

general average in MAPEH during the 3 rd grading period. Pearson r was used

to determine if there is a relationship between the teacher competencies and

the academic performance of the students.

Based on the objectives of the study, results of the analysis of the data

indicated these findings:

1. Findings on the level of competency of MAPEH teachers in terms of

classroom management

As to the level of competency of MAPEH teachers in terms of

classroom management, the highest mean was 4.23 which implies that

establishing clear guidelines for quizzes and tests greatly affects the

academic performance of students. On the other hand, providing a

classroom that is conducive for learning has the least effect on the

students’ performance.
 42

2. Findings on the level of competency of MAPEH teachers in terms of

instructional materials and facilities

As to the level of competency of MAPEH teachers in terms of

instructional methods, the highest mean was 4.20 with verbal

interpretation of strongly agree. This implies that the use of visual aids,

illustrations and multimedia to explain the lessons is an effective way of

improving the academic performance of the students. On the other

hand, the lowest mean was 3.99 with the verbal interpretation of agree

which means the respondents feel the providing supplementary reading

materials has less effect in increasing the academic performance of the

students. The overall weighed mean for instructional methods was 4.10

with verbal interpretation of agree which that instructional methods used

by teachers have good effect in helping students improve their academic

performance.

3. Findings on the level of competency of MAPEH teachers in terms of

instructional methods

As to the level of competency of MAPEH teachers in terms of

instructional methods, the highest mean was 4.33 with verbal

interpretation of strongly agree. This indicates that the respondents

think that preparing tests that are congruent to the lessons discussed

has a positive effect when it comes to improving their performance in

 43

school. The lowest mean was 3.89 with verbal interpretation of agree

which means that the respondents think that addressing students’

problem in comprehension has less effect in their performance. The

overall weighted mean for instructional methods was 4.10 with the verbal

interpretation of agree. This means that instructional strategies and

methods that are used by the teachers affect the students’ performance

at school.

4. Findings on the academic performance of the students in MAPEH

based on their third grading general average

The highest average grade percentage in MAPEH during the 3 rd

grading period occurred within 87-89 bracket with a frequency of 44 or

19.83% and the lowest occurred within 69-71 and 66-68 brackets both

with frequency of 1 or 1.45%. However, none among the respondents

fall under the 72-74 bracket.

5. Findings on the relationship between the teacher competencies

and the academic performance of the students

Using Pearson r the computed p-value for classroom

management was 0.0000, instructional material and facilities was

0.0119, and lastly instructional methods was 0.0003. This means that

there is a significant relationship between the teacher competencies and

the academic performance of the students.

 44

Conclusions

One the bases of foregoing findings, the following conclusions were

reached:

1. Majority of the respondents state that in terms of classroom management

the teacher competencies that greatly affect their performance at school are

when teachers are managing the classroom activities very well and

establishes clear guidelines for quizzes and tests. On the other hand, they

feel maintaining a classroom conducive for learning, checking of

attendance, and distribution of workloads evenly has less effect in their

performance.

2. In terms of instructional materials and facilities, most of the respondents

answered that using visual aids, illustrations and multimedia to explain the

lesson and creating situations that challenge the abilities of students have

positive effect on their school performance however providing

supplementary reading materials have less effect on their performance.

3. In terms of instructional methods, respondents answered preparing tests

that are congruent to their lessons and using varied ways in assessing their

performance can affect their academic performance.

4. Majority of the respondents’ general average in MAPEH occurred within 87-

89 bracket.
 45

5. There is a significant relationship between the teacher competencies and

the academic performance of the students.

Recommendation

Based on the study, the researchers have come up with the following

recommendations:

1. Teachers should be provided with technical assistance, trainings, and

seminars in classroom management, use of instructional materials, and use

of appropriate instructional methods to help improve the academic

performance of students.

2. A study on teacher competency should be done on a regular basis. Instead

of giving out supplementary reading materials, teachers should focus more

on giving additional classroom activities and presenting video clips in class

to make lessons more interesting to students which would eventually lead to

improvement in students’ performance.

3. The type of technical assistance to be given to the teachers should depend

on the factors that affect most of their teaching competencies. Overall

teachers should aim to perform their best and demonstrate their

competencies in handling the subject to attain the desired academic

performance of the students.

5. Teachers should be encouraged to keep up-to-date and stay interested in

the developments in the field of teaching to achieve advancement and

cutting edge of knowledge. Staying updated with the trends in teaching can
 46

help ensure that the teachers are teaching relevant knowledge and

functioning at the current global teacher standards.

6. More scientific research and studies on the similar topic should be done to

give clearer outcome and provide bases for developing technical

assistance, trainings and seminars to teachers.
