Levels of Effectiveness in Teaching and Its Impacts to the Academic Performance of Grade 12 ABM Students in Bestlink College of the Philippines School Year 2018-2019

Abstract

Measuring the effectiveness of teaching to the students is challenging since teachers have different strategies to tackle each lesson. The study observed that most of the students need effective teachers to learn well. However, students also need to fulfill the requirements needed. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of teaching to the academic performance of Grade 12 ABM students. A qualitative method was used in the study. Using a descriptive research design, the study focused on the assessment of Grade 12 ABM students. There were four academic variables identified for assessing the effectiveness of teaching to the academic performance of Grade 12 ABM students, such as quizzes, assignments, recitation, and group performance. The data were collected by distributing questionnaires to the target respondents. Convenience sampling was used based on the availability of participants in the study. The result of the study revealed the impacts of effectiveness in teaching to the academic performance of the Grade 12 ABM students in terms of these variables: (1) Quizzes -the students enjoyed listening to the discussions, learning from the lesson, adapting the effectiveness of the teacher’s approach, reviewing past lessons, and improving memorizing skills. (2) Assignments –students show reading readiness, exert efforts for compliance, develop inside thoughts, and review for better learning outcomes from the teacher. (3) Recitation –it serves as a basis of students' understanding, summing up knowledge, listening to their teacher by giving ideas to the given topic and associating it to the previous discussions. (4) Group Performance –it shows and determines unity, sums up ideas, accomplishes tasks and promotes the essence of teamwork, and develops good communication with each other. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of the teacher’s strategies to the students. These show that the respondents know their responsibilities and they serve as a reflection that their teachers teach them well. These have an impact on their academic performance when they comply with their requirements. The study recommends that school administrators give training/seminars for teachers to improve their teaching skills and organize workshops to develop group communication between students and teachers.
