Abstract:
The investigation studied the management practices of teachers in the public elementary schools and its effects on the academic perfor-mance and learning behavior of students from Grade 1 to 6 in Rodri-guez, Rizal, Philippines. There were 661 respondents, composed of teachers who particpated in the research. The methodological frame-work in which the study was conducted utilized descriptive-evalua-tive, descriptive-comparative, and descriptive-correlational research designs. The results showed that there were significant differences among all variables concerning the teachers' assessment of pupils' learning behavior and classroom management practices. Also, there was a significant relationship found between classroom management practices and pupils' academic performance at a Pearson correlation coefficient (r) of 0.637, showing a moderate relationship. In the same way, there is also a strong relationship that exists between classroom management and learning behaviors of pupils. The analysis indicated a strong moderate relationship between academic performance and learning behavior, with a Pearson correlation coefficient (r) value of 0.537 and p-value of 0.000. From the findings, the researcher sug-gested that the teachers at the public elementary schools improve their practice of organized and systematic classroom routines. Devel-oping classroom routine procedures before the start of the new aca-demic year will prevent distractions and maximize teaching time while dealing with any class-related problem.
