An analysis on The Competency-Based Performance Appraisal System of Teachers Towards Its Impact in Teachers Performance

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

School heads play an indispensable role in the performance of every school. They conduct teacher evaluation, determine hiring, professional development, and dismissal of teachers. They also contribute significantly to the school's climate and other factors that directly affect both teacher retention and school-wide success. In addition, they are increasingly expected to lead their schools within a framework of collaboration and shared decision making with teachers and other staff members as well as the community.

METHODS

The study aimed to determine the assessment of OPCRF on its effect on the performance of public secondary school heads from the Division of Rizal during the School Year 2017-2018. The Instrument was adopted from the competencies in the Department of Education-Results Based Management System (RPMS). Quantitative data were collected through a survey questionnaire which consisted of three parts namely: Profile of the Respondents; Assessment on Leadership Capabilities; and Performance Competencies. The statistical tools used in the study were frequency and percentage, weighted mean, analysis of variance and T-test. The study was limited on the assessment of OPCRF and its effect on the performance of secondary school heads as basis for action plan. The research used the descriptive research design.

RESULTS

It was revealed on the over-all assessment of the OPCRF of public secondary school heads is at a very satisfactory level. It further showed that there is a significant relationship pertaining to the level of satisfaction and effect of OPCRF on the performance of public secondary school heads in the Division of Rizal with respect to instructional leadership, learning environment, human resources management and development, parent's involvement and community partnership and school leadership management and operation.

DISCUSSIONS

The assessment suggested that public secondary school heads in the Division of Rizal should continuously improve their performance in all areas of the OPCRF. In addition, public secondary school heads should strengthen their linkages to stakeholders and/or parent's involvement in the school. Finally, public secondary teachers should see to it that all the documents needed in their IPCRF are kept intact to support office performance.
