The Effects of Teachers' Attitudes Towards Students' Learning Competencies

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

The teaching-learning process is composed of the learner, teacher and the learning environment. The learner is the key element in the process for without them, curriculum system will be void and useless. One of the principles in teaching states that in order for learning to takes place, conducive learning environment should be provided, an environment that will hone the learners to the fullest and will upgrade learners' competencies. But learning environment is insufficient; teachers too should do their part in order to reach their goals, to develop learners who are competent and manageable.

METHODS

A study on the effects of teachers' attitudes towards students' learning competencies adopted descriptive method. The achievement of the objectives of the study existed through the use of survey method to the 100 college students of Immaculate Conception College. Checklists were distributed to gather information needed to determine the effects of teachers' attitudes towards students' learning competency.

RESULTS

Teachers' attitudes are factors to be considered in the development of students' learning competency. Their diverse attitudes greatly affect the students' learning competency. Others take it positively as it boosts their learning competency and that they are highly motivated but for some students, they have sensed that it can lead to poor performance and lack of interest. The major reason why teachers do have diverse attitude is due to their students, how they behave in class. Students' uncontrollable behaviors affect a lot on how teachers act inside the classroom. On the other hand, physical condition of a teacher also contributes on why there are varied attitudes among teachers.

DISCUSSIONS

Teachers play a vital role in the teaching-learning process. They are the ones responsible for the development of the students. They are equipped with different attitudes in dealing with their students in varied classroom set-ups. Students perceived them as major factors that contribute on their learning competencies. The attitudes of the teachers towards the learning competency of the students entailed with various implications. Since students have different views on teachers' attitudes for sure constraints may arise leading to a major complication that could have a great impact on the learning competency of the students. Effects will not arise without any cases; teachers have their own reasons why they possess such attitudes in dealing with their students.
