Adaptability and Teaching Performance of Gulod and Mamatid National High School Teachers During the Pandemic

Abstract

Adaptability is a skill needed in the performance of teachers' duties. This study aimed to assess teachers' performance and adaptability at two public schools in Cabuyao, Laguna, Philippines, in 2021-2022. It attempted to determine the level of adaptability skills, such as self-awareness, personal management, problem-solving and decision-making, attitude, and competence grasp, and teaching performance that teachers need to deal with the fast-changing academic environment. This study aimed to determine how teachers were able to respond to changes and student needs and provide potential solutions. This study also investigated whether the adaptability of teachers varies based on their profiles. It intended to bridge the gap by examining how teachers' adaptation skills relate to their performance. This research utilized the comparative and descriptive-correlational approach, and 118 high school teacher answers were collected. Female teachers between the ages of 31 and 40 with less than six years of teaching experience made up most of the study. The statistical tools used were frequency, percentage, mean, standard deviation, z-test for independent samples, one-way ANOVA, and Pearson's product-moment correlation. The findings revealed that teachers scored well in areas linked to training. It was also discovered that teachers could swiftly adapt to any characteristic of the modern learning environment. When they were categorized based on their profiles and campus, their levels of adaptability did not alter much. The capacity to adjust and teaching performance had no significant correlation. Future studies may be conducted to elucidate other variables and encourage institutional management for programs and initiatives.
