Perceived Sense of Efficacy and Efficacy for Standards-Based Instruction of Grade Nine MAPEH Teachers of Sta. Anastacia - San Rafael National High School

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

One of the basic concepts of Social Learning Theory, "self-efficacy" is defined as "one's belief in one's ability to succeed in specific situations. Just as the self-efficacy, conceptually understood as a person's judgment regarding her/his skills to achieve a specific thing. It is a factor effective in performance and making duty decisions, so is it important in setting motivation. Teachers who hold high levels of high teacher self-efficacy are suggested to be more skillful in using teaching strategies more effectively, in ensuring that students will remain engaged, and in implementing classroom management skills. This study aimed to determine the level of sense of efficacy and level of efficacy for standards' based instruction of grade nine MAPEH teachers of Sta. Anastacia -San Rafael National High School.

METHODS

The study utilized the descriptive method of research through the survey technique, chosen on the appropriateness of the problem. The respondents of the study are the three grade nine MAPEH teachers of Sta. Anastacia -San Rafael National High School. The questionnaires were the major instruments used in gathering data. This study adopted two validated questionnaires for the generation of the data needed for statistical analysis. Data were gathered through surveying selected respondents using the two questionnaires, Teachers' Sense of Efficacy Scale (TSES) and Teachers' Efficacy for Standards' Based Instruction Scale (TESBIS)which is prepared by the researcher. Weighted mean was computed to determine the sense of efficacy and efficacy for standards-based instructions of grade nine MAPEH teachers of Sta. Anastacia -San Rafael National High School. Tests of correlation like Chi-square and Pearson r were used to test the level of association between and among variables.

RESULTS

The teacher respondents have a high level of sense of efficacy and a high level of efficacy for standards-based instruction.

DISCUSSIONS

Based on the preceding findings, an enhancement program to improve the self-efficacy and efficacy for standards-based instruction for Physical Education teachers were drafted and proposed for adoption of the school. The proposed enhancement program should focus on two areas: implementing a well-designed curriculum and providing teachers with appropriate training and supervision.
