Magnifying the Lenses: Teachers Performance and Technical Skills Towards Education 5.0

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

Education 5.0, a transformative paradigm in modern education, integrates advanced technologies with innovative pedagogies to foster holistic teaching and learning where technology enhances rather than replaces human interaction, making teachers' capabilities and adaptability central to educational quality worldwide, including in the Philippines. This study examined teachers' performance and technical skills in the context of Education 5.0, employing a mixedmethods explanatory sequential design. A total of 182 junior and senior high school teachers from the Municipality of Murcia, Negros Occidental, served as respondents for the quantitative phase, while 10 teachers participated in the qualitative phase. Teacher performance was measured using the Individual Performance Commitment Review Form (IPCRF), while technical skills were assessed through a modified 25-item instrument on learning and innovation skills, information and media technology skills, and life and career skills. Quantitative results revealed that teachers demonstrated a very high level of teaching performance (M = 4.61, SD = 0.20) and a high level of technical skills across all domains (M = 3.65–4.15). Teachers' performance remained consistently high across educational attainment, length of service, and salary grade, indicating that experience and qualifications were associated with consistent instructional efficiency. Qualitative findings highlighted four major themes: scarcity of resources, job simplification through technology, equal emphasis on human and technological aspects of learning, and adaptability in the face of unexpected changes. Integrated analysis revealed that while teachers were highly proficient and adaptable, the limited availability of technological resources posed challenges to maximizing Education 5.0 practices. Nonetheless, technology facilitated teaching efficiency and flexibility, aligning with the teachers' high technical skills and performance. Based on these findings, a competency-based training and development plan was recommended to further enhance teachers' technical readiness and adaptability to the evolving demands of Education 5.0.
