Abstract:
This study aimed to determine the mismatch between teachers’ professional qualifications and the
subject taught and its effects to students’ national achievement test. Five specific questions were
answered as follows: the profile of the teachers teaching English was analyzed in terms of educational
attainment, professional growth, and average class size; the mismatch status of English teachers in the
selected secondary Schools in Maguindanao-I Division was analyzed in terms of educational
qualification, post graduate education, seminars attended related to English language, and average
class size; the students’ performance in the National Achievement Test was analyzed using the test
results; finally the mismatch between teachers’ profile in teaching English and in students’
performance in NAT as well as the relationship between mismatch status of English teachers and
the students’ performance in NAT were analyzed using chi-square analysis. Ex-post-facto research
design was used with the teachers’ profile and students’ scores in the NAT as primary data. Complete
enumeration of the target respondents was used. Moreover, the chi-square analysis was used to
determine the relationship of the teachers’ profile with the students’ scores in NAT.
