Vol.3, No.1A

Abstract

This research is conducted to determine the level of administrational support and virtual teaching performances among selected instructors in a higher education institution in Quezon City. Questions were formulated to guide the study. The study population is the teaching staff, regardless of their department. This study used non-probability sampling through purposive sampling. A total number of twenty (20) professors were selected to participate in the study. The major instrument used for gathering data was a survey questionnaire consisting of printed surveys, and some were answered through Google Forms. Everyone who took part in the survey is offered to receive their questionnaires in an email format if they opt to receive them through email. The data gathered were analyzed through the use of percentages and weighted mean. Based on the analysis of the results, most of the respondents received full support from the administration regarding instructional materials. It is also true for the virtual teaching performance of the teaching staff in terms of instructions, assessment, and intervention.

They encountered major problems regarding poor internet connection, which is essential in virtual teaching, power interruption, and some issues in the LMS platform. The respondents had some problems in lacking instructional materials and professors lacking knowledge when it comes to the use of online applications. Some respondents agree that the lack of proper space for online classes and financial support regarding internet connections during virtual classes are also a problem.

Based on the findings, the researchers came up with the conclusion that the level of administrational support impacts the level of virtual teaching performance of the instructors and the development of the students. This finding came up with a recommendation for the development of infrastructure to support the online teaching of faculty. This will allow them to be well-organized and motivate them to constantly use their knowledge and skills as professors in online classes. It is also noted that safety as part of the administrative support plays a major role in the virtual teaching performances of the professors in this higher education institution in Quezon City.
