Keywords:
Competencies, School Administrators, Basic CurriculumAbstract
This study determined the relationship of first year high school students’ academic performance in Mathematics, English and Science in the three public secondary schools in the Districts of Oras, Division of Eastern Samar and the role model attributes of teachers and parents during the School Year 2003-2004. This is a descriptive-correlational type of research with the use of questionnaire-checklist as the principal instrument in gathering data, supplemented by personal interview and observations. The students’ academic performance is significantly related to the role model attributes of the teachers and parents manifested/shown to their students/children. This means that an effective Math teacher must be competent along teaching strategies and classroom management. He must also manifest social responsibility and nationalism and patriotism. For an effective English teacher, they must have good command in teaching strategies and must manifest values on social responsibility, love, nationalism and patriotism. Moreover, an effective Science teacher must be proficient in teaching strategies, classroom management, and resource management complemented by the values of health and harmony with nature, love, social responsibility, and nationalism and patriotism. For better students’ the parents must always undertake constant follow-up on their students’ school activities and provide all the needed financial/material support to their children. Although, attendance/participation of parents in school related activities does not show any relation to the students’ academic performance, to some extent, it might affect another form of human personal growth.
