Abstract:

Amid this COVID-19 pandemic, the Philippine education system shifted towards the new normal teaching landscape. In the same way, the preparation of Practice Teachers in their teaching internship also moves with the demands. So, the evaluation tools have to cover the ranging features of the varied teaching modalities and set up sustainable and flexible evaluation criteria. This study described the level of difficulty of the evaluation criteria, efficiency of Practice Teachers, and their implication to the Efficiency Report. Supplementarily, series of procedure were performed to describe the difficulty of the evaluation criteria, the efficiency of Practice Teachers in their internship, and the association between these variables. Results and findings revealed that the evaluation criteria in the Efficiency Report form were entirely “Easy” level (M = 2.13). With these easy-level evaluation criteria, Practice Teachers achieved an “Exceptional” level of efficiency (M = 4.81). Both levels were dependent and they, by the analysis, had a significantly very strong association: (a) Pearson Chi-Square Test X2(12, N = 89) = 35.992, p = 0.000, (b) Linear-by-Linear Association Test X2(1, N = 89) = 7.702, p = 0.006, and (c) Cramer’s V Test V = 0.367, p = 0.000, at a 95%confidence level. With the outcomes of this research and the implication, the Efficiency Report form must be contextualized and redesigned. There should be a constructive alignment of teaching modality with the evaluation tools.
