Abstract:

This study aims to identify elementary school teachers' competency level in assessment and reporting based on the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST). While it is true that previous studies have examined these areas, this study explored the relationship among the teachers' competencies, their performance in the Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form (IPCRF), and the pupils’ academic performance. A descriptive-correlational research design was employed. This study involved 220 elementary school teachers selected through systematic sampling, all from the Dumaguete City Division. Ethical considerations were strictly followed, ensuring respondents' data were handled with the utmost confidentiality to protect their dignity. The findings indicated that the teachers exhibited a Very Satisfactory level of competency in assessment and reporting. However, statistical analysis revealed no significant relationship between the teachers' competency levels and their performance on the Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form (IPCRF). Moreover, no significant relationship was found between the teachers’ IPCRF performance and the pupils’ academic performance. These findings suggest that while teachers possess strong competencies in assessment and reporting, other factors may have influenced their performance ratings and the pupils' academic success.
