Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The primary objective of this study was to assess the level of teaching per-formance among public elementary school teachers in Magdalena District, Division of Laguna. Specifically, the study aimed to evaluate the teachers' be-havioral skills and identify instructional challenges that may impact their performance. The findings of this research are intended to serve as the foun-dation for developing targeted intervention programs aimed at enhancing teacher effectiveness and promoting the delivery of quality education. A de-scriptive research design was employed, utilizing survey questionnaires, in-terviews, and classroom observations to gather data. A total of 100 public elementary school teachers from the Magdalena Sub-Office were selected as respondents.The results revealed significant positive relationships among behavioral skills, instructional challenges, and various dimensions of teach-ing performance. Notably, competencies such as effective communication, conflict resolution, and content delivery emerged as the most influential pre-dictors of successful teaching outcomes. These findings underscore the im-portance of ongoing professional development focused on behavioral and in-structional competencies. Furthermore, addressing issues related to re-source availability and embracing classroom diversity were identified as critical factors in enhancing teaching performance. Overall, the study high-lights the necessity for a comprehensive, skill-based approach to teacher de-velopment in order to foster a more effective and enriching educational en-vironment.
