Abstract:

This study aimed to determine the relationship between teaching satisfaction and 21st-century teaching competence. This study employed a non-experimental quantitative research method, and the respondent of this study were the 110 public elementary school teachers of Kapalong East District, Division of Davao del Norte, for the school year 2020-2021. The findings revealed that extent of the job satisfaction in terms of Job security, work environment, job responsibility and community attachment was extensive. The teachers, as part of the institution, have a greater responsibility to provide learners with quality teaching. While 21st-century teaching competence in terms of critical thinking, collaboration, communication, creativity and innovation, technological skills were extensive. The teachers should be fully equipped to embrace 21st-century teaching competence full strength and integrate teaching pedagogy to the updated ways of learning as students centred, but this doesn’t mean teachers must rely on the student's outcomes; nevertheless, the teacher always prepared for any instances and apply collaboration learning from their students. Significant relationships exist between job satisfaction and 21st-century teaching competence. All domains in job satisfaction significantly influenced the teaching proficiency of teachers.
