Abstract


Nowadays, many people can be a teacher, but the question, if many people can be an effective teacher. As such, this study was conducted to assess the general education instructors’ teaching effectiveness and work performance in a higher education institution of Zamboanga del Sur, Mindanao, Philippines. Thirty-two part-time instructors and 194 students were selected as participants of the study. Descriptive survey was used with the questionnaire-checklist as data collection tool. The results of the study revealed that similarities existed on instructors and students' assessments on the instructors' teaching effectiveness in terms of commitment and work performance along with accomplishment of work, courtesy, and readiness for service. Differences also occurred on instructors and students' assessments on instructors' teaching effectiveness as to knowledge of the subject, teaching for independent learning, and management of learning, and on work performance as to cleanliness and orderliness of work area, and grooming and appearance. Furthermore, the results imply that instructors’ teaching effectiveness and work performance can be effectively enhanced by revisiting teacher and general education curricula to make them responsive to changing demands of the society, re-evaluating hiring and selection processes of instructors to highlight the competencies required for the work, conducting trainings and seminars regularly for instructors’ professional growth and advancement, and continuous monitoring to obtain comprehensive view of instructors’ teaching effectiveness and work performance.

Tiga puluh dua pengajar sambilan dan 194 pelajar telah dipilih sebagai peserta kajian. Tinjauan deskriptif digunakan dengan senarai semak soal selidik sebagai alat pengumpulan data. Hasil kajian menunjukkan persamaan wujud pada penilaian pengajar dan pelajar terhadap keberkesanan pengajaran pengajar dari segi komitmen dan prestasi kerja serta pencapaian kerja, budi bahasa dan kesediaan untuk perkhidmatan. Perbezaan juga berlaku pada penilaian pengajar dan pelajar terhadap keberkesanan pengajaran pengajar tentang pengetahuan subjek, pengajaran untuk pembelajaran kendiri, dan pengurusan pembelajaran, dan prestasi kerja tentang kebersihan dan keteraturan kawasan kerja, dan dandanan dan penampilan. Tambahan pula, keputusan menunjukkan bahawa keberkesanan pengajaran dan prestasi kerja pengajar boleh dipertingkatkan dengan berkesan dengan menyemak semula kurikulum guru dan pendidikan am untuk menjadikan mereka responsif kepada perubahan permintaan masyarakat, menilai semula proses pengambilan dan pemilihan pengajar untuk menyerlahkan kecekapan yang diperlukan untuk kerja, menjalankan latihan dan seminar secara berkala untuk pertumbuhan dan kemajuan profesional pengajar, dan pemantauan berterusan untuk mendapatkan pandangan menyeluruh tentang keberkesanan pengajaran dan prestasi kerja pengajar.
