Teaching effectiveness as perceived by students, teachers and administrators of the secondary schools directed by the sisters of St. Columban in Northwestern Mindanao: A three-year plan for faculty development

This descriptive research is an evaluation of teaching effectiveness of teachers in the schools run by the Columban Sisters in Tudela, Misamis Occidental and Ozamis City. It examines the relationship between teaching effectiveness and educational qualifications, and between teaching effectiveness and their teaching experiences. It also points out to administrators certain aspects of teachers\u27 teaching behavior needing closer supervision whereby an appropriate faculty development could be planned and carried out. The evaluation was conducted in the two schools, namely: San Isidro Academy, Tudela, Misamis Occidental and Immaculate Conception College, High School Department, Ozamis City. The respondents were students, teachers themselves and the administrators of the said institutions. Twenty percent of the total students\u27 populations were taken randomly, sampled with equal number of percentages in every level from first year to the fourth year in all sections both male and female. One hundred percent full-time teachers and administrators were taken into account. The evaluation was based on the Teacher Behavior Inventory by Kendel S. Tang (1973) of De La Salle University. Using this questionnaire, the study seeks to answer the following questions: 1) What are the strengths and weaknesses of the teachers teaching effectiveness as perceived by students, teachers and administrators? 2) Is there a correlation between teaching effectiveness as rated by teachers themselves and their educational qualification? 3) Is there a relationship between teaching effectiveness as rated by teachers themselves and their teaching experiences? 4) Do students, teachers and administrators differ in their rating of teaching effectiveness? Ratings and scores of students, teachers, and administrators were then compiled, tallied, and recorded. Basing from the findings of the study, the students differ from the teachers and the administrators\u27 rating of teachers teaching effectiveness. Generally, the three sets of evaluations agreed that teachers never show behaviors and characteristics which distracts or disturbs students from accomplishing the aims of the learning situation. On the other hand, teachers and administrators feel that teachers need to improve on their motivational behavior, while students feel that the teachers need to improve on their behavior. It is clear that teachers are well prepared and have mastered their subject matter, which means that teachers are well trained in their specific field of specialization, but still need to grow more in their human behavior and should be exposed to current trends and innovations on new techniques and methods of teaching
