Keywords:
Performance, Science and Technology, Public High SchoolsAbstract
This study attempted to evaluate the performance of science and technology students in relation to their teachers in Calbayog City Division. As to the profile of seminars/training/workshops attended by science and technology teachers in Calbayog City Division, most of the teachers attended the seminar/training occasionally and the areas of concentration were on instructional materials development and on instructional facilities/apparatus/equipment utilization. In terms of performance of the high school students in Calbayog City Division in the division achievement test, the highest average Mean Percentage Score (MPS) by school category was 63.53 followed by 62.18 and 59.8; while the lowest was 41.14. By year level, the second year high school students got the highest average MPS of 64.56 followed by the fourth year, then the first year and lastly, the third year. In terms of experience, the teacher-respondents turned out to be experienced and were expected to have mastered the subject matter of their teaching loads. The performance of the high school students in the Division of Calbayog City in the division achievement test was “average” only and thus, improvement of their performance is the challenge that faces the Division. Preference must be given to teachers’ majors or minors in science and technology in the giving of teaching loads in science and technology subjects.
