Abstract:
This study is focused on the school head’s professional identity, emotional intelligence, and perfectionism as three tier factors to advance pedagogical leadership. The study employed the quantitative descriptive
methodology, combining descriptive and multiple linear regression analysis. The researchers-made online survey instrument, via a google form.
Responses from 132 school heads were analyzed using descriptive statistics such as mean, and standard deviation. Multiple linear regression
analysis was employed to determine the significant relationships of the
variables. The results reveal that professional identity has a positive relationship with pedagogical leadership. Contradicting result is the emotional intelligence which has a negative relationship with pedagogical
leadership. Lastly, perfectionism has a positive relationship with pedagogical leadership. It is concluded that a school head’s professional identity, emotional intelligence and perfectionism significantly predict pedagogical leadership. Hence, the department (DepEd) may conduct series
of training and workshops for teachers as a capacity building to equip
them with knowledge and competencies to handle the numerous challenges in the delivery of quality, relevant, inclusive, and liberating education to the Filipino learners. Further, during Gender and Development
programs one activity to consider is the training in emotional development among teachers and school heads.
