The Developmental Needs of Quezon District 3 Teachers: Basis for a Proposed Intervention Program

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

The main purpose of this is to determine to current status of developmental needs and the level of competencies of the Quezon District 3 elementary teachers in terms of professional and instructional development. It also sought to determine the significant difference and the correlation between the two. It further determined the barriers and other suggestions on the competencies. Quantitative research was employed using the descriptive-evaluative method which utilized a validated survey questionnaire among the participants which were chosen via cluster random sampling. Data were treated using standard statistical analysis techniques such as frequency distribution, percentage, weighted value, weighted mean, ranking, t-test and Pearson-r correlation of coefficient. This study revealed that the QD3 elementary teachers gave more weight to the level of professional development which garnered a weighted mean of 3.11 than their instructional competence that has a weighted mean of 3.05. Thus, according to its computed t-value which is 0.0182, it showed that there is no significant difference between these competencies. It has further shown that the two competencies are directly proportional to each other, thereby gaining a correlation of coefficient value of 0.9005 interpreted as a strong positive relationship. Out of the current research, recommendations for a proposed interventions were made.
