Abstract:
This study determined the instructional competencies of Mathematics teachers and their performance
in the execution of tasks in Lopez East District. This sought to assess: the instructional competencies
of the teachers in Mathematics 6 in terms of: Knowledge of the Subject Matter, Communication
Skills, Instructional Practices, Evaluation, Problem Solving, and Professionalism; the significant
agreement on the rank orders of the competencies of the teachers, the performance in the execution of
tasks along: Teaching-Learning Process, Learners’ Outcomes, Community Involvement, and
Professional Growth and Development. The study used the descriptive-evaluated-correlational method
of research with documentary analysis in describing the effects of instructional competencies and
performance of the teachers. Purposive sampling was used as the locale of the study. The statistical
tools used were weighted mean, frequency count, percentage, rank order, Kendall Coefficient of
Concordance, and its corresponding Chi-square test. The instructional competencies of the teachers
were Very Much Evident. There is a significant agreement on the rank orders on the instructional
competencies in terms of: Knowledge of Subject Matter, Communication Skills, Instructional
Practices, Evaluation, and Professionalism and there is no significant agreement in terms of Problem
Solving. The teachers’ performance in the execution of tasks was Outstanding. There is a significant
agreement on the rank orders of the level of teachers’ performance as follows: Teaching LearningProcess;Learners’ Outcome; and Personal Growth and Professional Development.
