INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Until being a good teacher, all of them start from the beginning. Teaching says

that there is a reason why they are better and some are best at teaching, tough it is

hard for all students to learn from them quickly. There are also others who affect the

students in different aspects and these teachers are motivating the students, that’s why

students are so compassionate in studying to complete task, the challenges give to

them.

All of the achievements of students are because of the motivated teachers that

keep on working just to explained everything. It is easy to motivate a students when it

comes to studying but motivating teachers to work well is also very critical. According to

Marry A. (2010), Inherent and extrinsic encouragement contributes to the superior

performance of the instructor. Such motivational variables, including allowances, Wage

and appreciation etc. have a beneficial impact on their happiness, which also

contributes to their productive effectiveness.

From the different circumstances of teaching students, the teachers are adapting

the new ways in effective teaching. According to Delvin, Kift and Nelson (2012), it is

argued that effective teaching also takes place where there is reflective practice. And

these reflective activities are often known as the brick and engine or simply the basis for

productive teaching and learning.

 On the other hand, some people assumes that if students are introduced to the

teacher, successful teaching takes place. Sometimes it is not the building themselves

that are critical for effective teaching and learning but the quality of the processes that

take place within the buildings (Butts, 2010). The process that occurs in the teacher-

student communication is an example of effective and better teaching and learning.

Many teachers are shocked of what will happen to the education system of the

Philippines, they think a lot remedies and solutions just to teach and educate students

that’s why teachers are adjusting what is new to the system, from modular teaching to

online teaching and as well as the blended teaching. And it is also known as the New

Normal because of the pandemic that is happening. All teachers even the veteran ones

are starting from the beginning because all of them are new to this process of teaching.

This study will help the researchers to gain knowledge about the teachers’

performance before and during the pandemic that affect their way of teaching and on

how they interact with the students.

Research Questions

This research aims to know the factors that affect the teaching performance of

the respondents. These researchers will seek answers for the following research

questions to obtain more knowledge and information about the study.

1. What are the demographics profile of the respondents?

a. Gender

b. Years of service
 2. What are the factors that affect the teaching performances of the respondents in

each subject area?

3. How does these factors affect the respondents in interacting with the students.

4. Into what extent the factors affect the performance of the respondents?

5. What are the adverse effects of the factors to the respondents?

6. How does these adverse effects affects the teaching performance of the

respondents?

Significance of the Study

Nowadays, it is seen that there are a lot of changes in teaching performance

especialy that we are having a pandemic. All of us are affected from teachers to

students and also to the parents.

In regard with this, the study will provide data and knowledge about the factors

that affect the effectiveness of teaching performance of the senior high school teachers

before and during the pandemic in dominican school of pilar A.Y. 2020-2021

The results of the study will be of great benefit to the following:

Respondents. The study will help the teachers determine the factors that affect

the effectiveness of their teaching performance. This in result will help them become

more effective and prepared during pandemic. The results would also develop the

teacher’s teaching-learning and evaluating strategies in enhancing knowledge, skills

and attitude to the students in the time frame given.

Dominican School of Pilar. The study will help the school create necessary

innovations and flexibilities in line with living its mission of providing quality education
system to the students. This will help the school become more versatile despite the on-

going pandemic, thus will help in the advancement of school management and

teaching-evaluation approach. In addition, this will foster new ways of enhancing

knowledge, skills and attitude, thus preparing globally-competitive students in the future.

Senior Highschool Students. The study will help the students acquire quality

education through an effective teaching performance of the teachers. This will help the

students continue their education despite the pandemic.

Conceptual Framework

The community is already experiencing the effects of the pandemic from different

sectors of living, the different industries and economy of the Philippines. Teaching is an

exceptionally complex and demanding profession requiring expertise that is developed,

refined, and renewed through formal and informal learning throughout a teacher’s

education and career (Metsapelto, Riitta-Leena et al., 2020).

. The reliance on research-based knowledge in both teacher education and

Continuing Professional Development (CPD) is an indication of the professionalization

of teaching in the top-performing educational systems (Toom, A et al., 2010). Due to

lack of face-to-face communication, it is hard for some teachers to deliver their lessons

and the poor network connection is one of the problems in online learning because

these affects the professionality of the teachers. Students who’s addicted and giving

more time to play games than to study are one of the obstructions on how teachers give

more information’s and knowledges to prepare them to future. Portraying the knowledge

and skills that teachers typically rely on and use in their praxis is a conceptually

complex endeavor. An approach is needed which strives to explain the process of

teaching and teachers’ work by attending to multiple critical factors and their interactions

(Blömeke, Gustafsson, & Shavelson, 2015).

A contemporary challenges, however, is the burgeoning of educational literature

that may blur the vision of what kind of skills and knowledge-building teachers need to

optimize student learning, engagement, and well-being (Metsapelto, Riitta-Leena et al.,

2020).
