Abstract/Summary

This study evaluates the teaching effectiveness of the teachers of the Holy Rosary Minor Seminary in Naga City for the school year 1977-1978. The evaluation was conducted among the three important elements in any educational institution--students, teachers and administrators. The evaluation was based on seven categories of characteristics and areas of competence that should be found in an effective teacher or where an effective teacher should excel: 1) Planning, Organization and Motivational Behavior 2) Subject Matter Competency 3) Teaching Methods and Techniques 4) Evaluation and Follow Up 5) Classroom Management 6) Personality Traits 7) Professional Traits.

With the use of survey-questionnaire, data were gathered from the entire student population of the four year levels of the seminary, the twelve faculty members and the administrators--the Father Rector and the Principal. The study found out that none among the three sets of evaluators agreed significantly with each other in their perceptions of teaching effectiveness at the Holy Rosary Minor Seminary. The results imply that teaching effectiveness in order to be attained must take into consideration all aspects of the teaching process and the personal and professional traits of teachers. It must also consider all the effects of the teaching activity on the students. It also showed that teachers tended to rate themselves higher than the students and the administrators. This shows that the teachers were more concerned with the efforts they put into their teaching activity without taking into consideration once in a while, the feedback from their students or from the administrators. Teachers must try to take into consideration the perception of other elements in the institution in the assessment of their teaching competence. It could also be concluded from the results of the study that the Aims and Objectives of the school may not be clear to the different elements of the institution. Further, since the institution has been in existence for more than a century already, this matter of Aims and Objectives as contained in a Mission Statement may have been taken for granted. This is clearly shown by the fact that the three sets of evaluators did not significantly agree in their ratings and therefore in their rankings of the teachers. In other studies of the same nature, students to some extent agree significantly with the evaluation of the administrators and vice versa. In this study, the results showed that they did not agree significantly. There are two possible reasons--1) Bias on the part of the students, and 2) that the administrators did not have sufficient basis for their evaluation of the teachers.
