Teaching Performance of Mathematics Teachers in Public Secondary Schools: Basis for Capability Enhancement Program

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

This study aimed to determine the level of performance of mathematics teachers in selected public secondary schools in Area I, Division of Batangas as assessed by the teachers.

METHODS

The descriptive method of research was used in this study. The involvement of 70 Mathematics teachers was sought in this research.

RESULTS

All registered strengths of mathematics teachers were exhibited to a great extent. They showed remarkable strengths in terms of analysis of data, driving for results, influencing for results and measuring, reporting and improving. The teachers exercised their roles and responsibilities in teaching Mathematics and were able to exhibit and demonstrate their teaching performance to a great extent. The teaching performance of mathematics teachers was not influenced by their registered strengths as shown by the little mean difference. Capability program for the enhancement of mathematics instruction was proposed.

DISCUSSIONS

Although the teachers showed remarkable registered strengths, they should still be encouraged to improve to a higher level. Inasmuch as the mathematics teachers exercised their roles and responsibilities and performed the teaching competencies to a great extent, the school heads should further encourage the teachers to avail of the continuing professional education and undergo different trainings in mathematics to enhance mathematics instruction to a very great extent. The school heads should be furnished with the copy of the proposed action plan for careful study so that the plan would serve as their basis for planning intervention activities to improve the teaching competencies of mathematics teachers. A similar study should be conducted with the inclusion of the school heads and students as respondents.
