Abstract:

This study was conducted to find the relationship between teacher’s efficacy in delivering new normal education and learner’s academic achievement in Araling Panlipunan in Quezon II District. This study gathered the needed data by using an adopted instrument from the study of Lapada, Robledo, Miguel, & Alam (2020). The respondents of this study were delimited to the teachers of Quezon II District, Division of Bukidnon; specifically: Salawagan CES, Dilapa IS, Sta. Cruz IS, Mibantang ES, and Pag-asa ES. The data were treated with the descriptive statistics such as frequency count, percentage, mean, standard deviation, and Pearson r Product Moment Correlation Coefficient. The following findings were noted in this study: majority of the respondents are 31 – 40 Years Old; almost all respondents were Females; almost half of the respondents have rendered 11 – 15 Years in service; more than half of the total respondents were able to attend 5-6 Trainings about the New Normal Teaching; and more than half of the respondents have attained Baccalaureate Degree + MA Units. The teachers in Quezon II District have very high level of efficacy in delivering new normal education in terms of teachers’ personal values, self-transcendence, self-enhancement values and openness to change, conservation, and motivations for teaching. Majority of the learners in Quezon II District have Very Satisfactory academic achievements in Araling Panlipunan with grades 85-89 and were Closely followed by those learners having Outstanding academic achievement with grades between 90 – 100. There was no significant relationship between the level of teacher’s efficacy in delivering new normal education in terms of teachers’ personal values, self-transcendence, self-enhancement values, and openness to change, conservation, and motivations for teaching and the academic achievement of the learners in Araling Panlipunan. This study hereby recommends the following points to consider: The teachers may pursue their graduate schooling so that they may be able to achieve their graduate diploma, necessary for the professional growth and development, and credential for their promotion. The teachers in Quezon II District may sustain their very high level of efficacy in delivering new normal education in terms of teachers’ personal values, self-transcendence, self-enhancement values and openness to change, conservation, and motivations for teaching. It is not significantly related to the learners’ academic achievement, but certainly these are agents for the successful implementation of delivering new normal education. The parents may continue to support their children so that the learners can sustain their Very Satisfactory and outstanding academic achievements in Araling Panlipunan and other subjects. The school heads may strengthen their technical assistance given to the teachers so that an optimum very high level of efficacy in delivering new normal education in terms of teachers’ personal values, self-transcendence, self-enhancement values and openness to change, conservation, and motivations for teaching can be sustained.
