Education had played a very important role in the development of human resources
and progress of a certain nation and society. In the Philippines, education is undergoing
transitions and adaptations especially in terms of globalization and internalization which
creates investable problems that imply the need for effective programs and policies in all
levels from pre-elementary to post tertiary. And as result, the Philippine Educational System
has undergone a series of changes and transformations in order to adapt to the contemporary
educational trends and reforms. And one of the major reforms that happened in the
educational system is the implementation of the K-12 Basic Education program. The K-12
program covers 13 years of basic education with four major stages: Kindergarten to Grade
3, Grades 4 to 6, Grades 7 to 10 or the Junior High School, and Grades 11 and 12 or the
Senior High School, which is found to be the best period for learning under basic education
which is also the recognized standard for students and professionals globally (DepEd, 2011).
The K to 12 is aimed at addressing the deficiency of the Philippine educational system
particularly in the basic education, the elementary and high school, in order to meet the
standards of the international education criteria and for the students to be at par with the
students in neighboring countries (Calderon, 2014). Further, the program aims to fully
enhance and develop the students in order for them to be well prepared especially in
emotional and cognitive aspects so that they will be able to face the pressures of their future
workplace (Sadsad, 2014).
However, the implementation of the new basic education program of the Department
of Education brings challenges especially to teachers specifically on the adaptation on the
new curriculum since it is focus now on outcomes rather than on inputs and outputs (Velasco,
2012; Calderon, 2014). And this can be realized if teachers possess the required
competencies and skills especially in catering 21st century learners (Ertmer, Conklin, &
Lewandowski, 2012) since one of the main goals of the program is on the development of
required competencies and skills of students for survival in the globalized world (Dede, 2009;
Canapi & Dela Cruz, 2009). Hence, it is important then that teachers should possess the
required competencies and skills for the successful implementation of the said education
program.
Teachers play an important role in the successful process of teaching and learning in
the classroom setting. In the 21st century context, teachers play a vital role not only in the
transmission of knowledge, but more importantly in the development and enhancement of
student skills and competencies. A competency is more than just knowledge and skills; it
involves the ability to meet complex demands by drawing on and mobilizing psychosocial
resources (including skills and attitudes) in a particular context and is essential to an
educator’s pursuit of excellence (Nessipbayeva, 2012). Further, teachers need a wide range
of competencies in order to face the complex challenges of today’s world. Teaching
competency is an inherent element of an effective training process, one that aspires to
contribute to the welfare of a particular country or the world, itself.
The DepEd Order No 32. s. 2009 provides policy support for the adoption of the
National Competency-Based Teaching Standards (NCBTS). The NCBTS provides the core
curriculum for teacher education and professional development. NCBTS details the
competencies required of any future teacher. The NCBTS is also made part of the Teacher
Induction Program (TIP). The NCBTS Framework is divided into seven domains: (a) Social
Regard for Learning, (b) Learning Environment, (c) Diversity of Learners, (d) Curriculum, (e)
Planning, Assessing, Reporting, (f) Community Linkages, and (g) Personal Growth and
Professional Development.
Further, it is also important to note that in today’s world, one of the most important
competencies that an individual must possess is information and communication technology
competency. Majority of previous literature had supported that indeed, the use of technology
in the classroom plays a vital role in the success of students’ learning (Danner & Pessu, 2013;
Watson, 2005; Gorder, 2008). Thieman (2008) identified how ICT competency affects
students’ learning and teachers’ competence which include the following: (a) ICT supports
lesson, (b) ICT integration maximizes student learning, (c) ICT integration assists
assessment, and (d) ICT enhances productivity and professional practice.
Pedagogical Competency
Pedagogical competency is a very important competency that every teacher should
possess. For learning to become effective, the teacher should acquire a solid knowledge of
his/her subject (Sucio & Mata, 2011). However, it does not end there. To become more
effective, the teacher should know the way on how to teach the content of the subject
(Alderite, Busquit, & Mejica, 2008). Hence, pedagogical competency is needed. Previous
studies stressed that pedagogical competency means that a teacher should be a master of
his subject matter and also the methodology for teaching LIT. Further, this may include
content knowledge, effective teachings, and the knowledge on how students learn the
content (Meiers, 2007; De Jong & Harper, 2005). Pedagogical competency helps to make a
range of instructional strategies and resources to match the variety of student skills and to
provide each student several ways of exploring important ideas, skills, and concepts.
Pedagogy makes a teacher: how to work as facilitators, coaches, models, evaluators,
managers, and advocates (Bhowmik, Banerjee, & Banerjee, 2013). Accordingly, teachers
are supposed to plan the lesson and pedagogical activities based on the students’ learning
style, prior knowledge, information retrieval style, cognitive needs, learning motivations, and
social interaction styles (Darling-Hammond & Baratz-Snowden, 2005; Syahruddin, Ernawati,
& Ede, 2013).
A substantial number of studies had been conducted to identify the effects of having
an effective pedagogical competencies of teachers to their students. A teacher with deep
pedagogical knowledge understands how students construct knowledge, acquire skills, and
develop habits of mind and positive dispositions toward learning (Mishra & Koehler, 2006).
Further, teachers’ pedagogical competency geared towards maintaining students’
motivation, subject-related attitudes, and other forms of students’ development (Syahruddin,
Ernawati, & Nasir Ede, 2013).
Research findings continuously have shown that one of the keys to success in
teaching is the teacher's ability to manage the classroom and to organize instruction
(Mokehele, 2006). In the same manner, classroom management is concerned with the
organization of the classroom as a learning area or environment. Furthermore, classroom
management can be described as actions that create, implement, and maintain a classroom
climate that supports learning (Cooper & Simonds, 2007). Further, many studies had been
conducted in determining how important classroom management competency is for teachers
and students. Effective classroom management allows the learner to learn the intended
learning content (Walters & Shelly, 2007). Also, classroom management competency geared
towards establishing and maintaining order, designing effective instruction, dealing with
students as a group, responding to the needs of individual students, and effectively handling
the discipline and adjustment of individual student (Emmer & Stough, 2001; Stoughton,
2007). In addition, effective classroom management decides the effectiveness of teachers
teaching quality and students learning since they create a sound and friendly environment in
the classroom where students feel safe, respected, cared and secured which also resulted
to an academic atmosphere with cooperation, discipline, and responsibility both for the
teachers and the students (Omar, 2007; Riaz, 2009; Al-Zu’bi. 2013).
Teaching is considered as the noblest profession since many individuals still continue
to view teaching as a highly desirable profession. Teachers are expected to grow as
professionals and need to learn while they are teaching if students are to receive an optimal
education. The report of SEAMEO-INNOTECH (2010) stressed the value of professional
development as one of the major competencies of teachers in the 21st century especially in
the ASEAN countries. Professional development competency of teachers includes identifying
his/her own professional learning needs and plans for and engages in professional
development; developing organizational skills; reflecting and evaluating professional
knowledge and effectiveness of one’s teaching; practicing school-based management skills;
and engaging in self-learning activities.
Teaching is a task that is full of ethical conflicts and inner contradictions (Colnerud,
2015). Further, teaching is a moral activity in which teachers have to consider the ethical
complexity of teaching and the moral impact they have on their students (Carr, 2011; Lovat,
Dally & Toomey, 2011; Thornberg, 2013). As teachers, they can only cultivate students’
characters if they display it themselves (Cribb, 2009). Hence, it is important that teachers
should possess the competency that allows them to practice professional ethics and morality
(Biesta, 2009; Brumfiel, 2007). Mainly for an educator, the moral and morality are important
from both perspectives - human and professional. The moral obligation of the teachers and
the agreement with the community demand a professional competence coherent with both
the teachers and the community (Seghedin, 2014).
The Code of Ethics for Professional Teachers (1997) issued by the Board for
Professional Teachers through Resolution No. 435 provides in the preamble that teachers
are duly licensed professionals who possess dignity and reputation with high moral values
as well as technical and professional competence. Hence, it is important to note then that
teachers’ role is not only on then transmission of facts and knowledge, and on the acquisition
of skills of their students, but also the acquisition and application of values and character
building to their students.
Teachers are the catalyst for global change and kaleidoscopic innovations. By
educating students in a non-biased, informative manner, and raising awareness on social
injustice, teachers pave the road for a future absent of ignorance and unfounded bigotry
(Head, 2014). Teacher s can also be catalysts for change, visionaries who are never content
with the status quo but rather always looking for a better way (Larner, 2004). Teachers who
take on the catalyst role feel secure in their own work and have a strong commitment to
continual improvement. They pose questions to generate analysis of student learning
(Harrison & Killion, 2007).
This quantitative type of study will make use of descriptive survey method. The study
will involve all permanent elementary teachers in San Quintin District, Division of Pangasinan
II for the school year 2017 – 2018.
V. Research Methodology
a. Sampling
The study will involve all permanent public elementary teachers in San Quintin
District, Division of Pangasinan II. Total enumeration will be used in the study.
b. Data Collection
This study will make use a standardized questionnaire developed by the SEAMEO
INNOTECH Regional Education Program (2010) which is The Survey on Teaching Standards
in Southeast Asian Countries to assess the competencies of primary teachers in San Quintin
District. The said questionnaire is consists of seven categories/competencies which include
pedagogical competency (6 items), student-assessment competency (4 items), classroom
management competency (7 items), professional development competency (7 items),
Professional Ethics and Morality (3 items), and Social and Human Dimensions Competency
(3 items). In addition, for the ICT competency, the researcher will utilize the Mills and
Tincher’s (2003) Technology Integration Standards Configuration Matrix which determines
ICT integration of teachers in the classroom. Before the conduct of the study, the researcher
will test first the suitability of the two tools though the reliability test.
This study will follow a systematic way of gathering data. The researcher will seek
first an approval from the Division office for the conduct of the study. After doing so, the
researcher will distribute the questionnaire to the respondents of the study. Retrieval will
follow after the questionnaire will be answered by the respondents. Tabulation and collation
of data will follow after the retrieval of the questionnaire. The data will be analyzed through
the use of the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences (SPSS) software.
c. Ethical Issues
Ethical consideration will be utilized by the researcher in the conduct of the study.
These include the following: (1) all letters and communications will be properly address and
communicate to proper authorities, (2) the identity of the respondents will be kept confidential,
and (3) the respondents will answer the questionnaire on their vacant time only so that
classes will not be disturbed.
Frequency and Percentage will be utilized to describe the profile of the primary
teachers.
Independent Sample T-test and One Way Analysis of Variance (ANOVA) will be used
to identify significant differences on the level of teaching competencies of primary educators
when grouped according to profile variables.
