Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Student achievement is often linked to teaching performance. If teachers are effective, there will be no doubt that students will have better academic achievement. But teaching performance will not be considered good without a sound foundation. This foundation is the years of training and preparation a teacher undergoes in order to equip himself or herself with necessary skills that will help him or her facilitate instruction especially in an environment that constantly changes.

METHODS

This study takes descriptive and at the same time correlational survey as its research design. The descriptive design focuses on the present condition and aims to find a new truth (Calmorin and Calmorin, 2010). This design involves describing, analyzing, interpreting the present nature, composition, and processes of phenomena. The correlational survey, on the other hand, determines to what extent or degree does a relationship exists between variables (Gay, Mills, Airasian, 2011).

RESULTS

The study yielded the following results; (1) that the pre-service teachers' demographic profile did not affect their performance; (2) that the demographic profile of the cooperating teachers and the members of the faculty did not affect their performance as members of the panel; (3) That the pre-service teachers' performance was at par with the standards set by K-12; (4) that the perceived level of language teaching readiness of the pre-service teachers indicates readiness on their part (5 ) that teaching performance does not directly affect the language teaching readiness of the pre-service teachers; (6) that the overall performance of the pre-service teachers does not directly reflect the level of language teaching readiness of the pre-service teachers.

DISCUSSIONS

A thorough study on teaching performance and its correlates and on teaching readiness are necessary to gauge how ready the future teachers are in facing the real challenges of K-12 in an actual teaching situation.
