PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
Introduction
Most of the people said that teaching is the most important profession at all,
without teachers, there would probably no widely skilled people around. Truly, teachers
are one of the most significant people in school. The role of the teachers does not end
during the school days, although teaching in the whole day is a huge part of a teacher’s
responsibility, they extend far beyond by interacting with their students. They are not
only liable in transferring knowledge about a certain topic, but also responsible in
promoting moral values.
This study would be conducted at Alexis G. Santos National High School, a
public high school in Liciada, Bustos, Bulacan. Even if the study was all about the
performance of the teachers, the respondents would be the senior high school students,
several students would be picked to recognize the level of performance of senior high
school teachers.
On a study made by Altindag & Hasbay (2018), it expressed that teachers’
performance was affected mostly by management factors, followed by working
environment, and lastly by wages or income. Therefore, it revealed that the wage factor
did not show any effects that directly increase the teachers’ performance and that the
right attitude of school managers, proper and efficient communication, and the
development of teachers has to be increased for their performance to increase as well.
Teachers have their own strengths and weaknesses, some of them were very good
in teaching and in sharing knowledge while the others can teach but choose to focus in
interacting with students and socialize with them. Some have their unique characteristics
that other educators do not have, and some have difficulties in other field of
competencies. Most of the time, majority of them were busy, leading them to have
difficulties in balancing their time and their priorities.
The researchers’ aim was to determine the performance of every senior high
school teachers in different fields, such as in teaching and in interacting with students.
Moreover, recognizing the fields where the teachers are very efficient and least efficient
is one of the objectives of this research.
This study talks about determining the competence of senior high school teachers
by looking at many factors that can affect their performance and by seeking the very
efficient and the least efficient side of the educators.
The purpose of this research is to discover new teaching strategies and other
methods to make their lessons easier to understand and more interesting. Furthermore, the
researchers’ main objective is to inform the senior high school teachers on how may the
students think and sees them.

School teachers of Alexis G. Santos National High School. Specifically, this research
tries to answer the questions:

2. In what aspect does senior high school teachers are least efficient?
3. What is the level of the performance of every Senior High School teachers of
Alexis G. Santos National High School?
Scope and Delimitation

School.
Significance of the study
The result of this study would be necessary for the teachers to be aware of their
performance inside and outside of their respective classrooms, it may also serve as a
gateway for them to look for new ideas and strategies in teaching. The result can also be

performance. As well as for the school administrators, the result would be essential for
them as they will determine the performance of every senior high school teachers of the
school. Sending them to seminars or trainings and also implementing activities and
providing some guide books or facilities would be beneficial for them as well. And for
the future researchers, the outcome would be useful for them to further expand and
supplement the information the researchers have gathered, so that readers and other
researchers can understand it.
