Abstract:

The study aimed to find out the professional advancement of graduate education students and their performance in school-related activities in Tomas Claudio Colleges. The respondents of the study are 100 graduate education students. The study used random sampling and variables such as teaching task, physical facilities and equipment, interpersonal relation, awards and incentives and community involvement were considered. Age, sex, civil status, position title, length of service and seminars and trainings attended of the teachers were used. The study used descriptive research design with a researcher-made questionnaire-checklist as its main instrument. Documentary analysis was also utilized since teachers’ level of performance was revealed in their Results-Based Performance Management System (RPMS). The study found out that most teachers are 21-30 years old, married, Teacher I and have 6-10 teaching years. Most of them have attended seminars and trainings for 11 – 15 times. Teaching task physical facilities and equipment, interpersonal relation, awards and incentives and community involvement are found to be often in their professional advancement, and these are not significant on teacher’s profile. Moreover, majority of the teachers have very satisfactory level of performance. Teaching task, physical facilities and equipment, interpersonal relation, awards and incentives, community involvement on the performance of the teachers are not predictors of their level of performance as revealed by the RPMS result. The study recommended that school administrators may continuously provide assistance to qualified faculty members who are about to finish their graduate studies by means of providing scholarship grants or availing study leaves with pay. Continuous in-service education training activities may be provided so that the faculty members will not lose their interest in such activities. Teachers may continuously strive to pursue professional development for better performance. The action plan for teachers maybe recommended for implementation. Similar studies may be conducted using other variables.
