Teachers’ Professional Competencies and Students’ Academic Performance

Jasmine Louise Sumodevilla

 

Abstract:

Teacher’s competency is significant in giving quality education. Thus, this study focused on the relationship of teachers’ professional competencies in terms of planning, instructional, management, evaluation, and professional development on students’ academic performance. The study utilized the descriptive-correlational design. Descriptive statistics and inferential analysis such as Pearson product moment correlation were used as statistical tools of the study. It covered the junior high school teachers of the secondary school of Libertad District. The academic performance was based on the general weighted average of the students in the 1st and 2nd Quarter of school year 2020-2021. The findings revealed that majority of the junior high school students of Libertad District were very satisfactory in their academic performance during the 1st and 2nd quarter of school year 2020-2021. The extent of teachers’ professional competencies in terms of planning, instructional, management, evaluation, and professional development was described as “very highly competent”. Further, there was significant relationship between teachers’ professional competencies and students’ academic performance. The study concludes that teachers’ professional competencies and students’ academic performance has a weak positive relationship. Though teachers are very highly competent in planning, instructional, management, evaluation, and professional development, there are other factors that improves students’ academic performance which include students’ learning skills, parental background, peer influence, learning infrastructure among others.
