Background of the Study

Statistics showed big decrement from an MPS 56.38 of SY 2006-2007 to an MPS of 47.41 of
SY 2007-2008. Thus it slipped from rank 56 of SY 2006-2007 to rank 66 of SY 2007-2008. It
gained a slight improvement on the following year with an MPS of 51.66 which made it to
rank 56 again out of 71 schools from Division of City School Manila which took the said
standardized test.

SCOPE AND DELIMITATION

**The study used a PURPOSIVE SAMPLING TECHNIQUE for it targeted
the 21 Grade Six of Teachers of BOES handling the subjects related to
NAT specifically MATH, FILIPINO, ENGLISH, HEKASI, SCIENCE. A
questionnaire was made to get the demographic profile and
performance ratings. However, their answers were still validated by
BOES-EMIS Chairman for accuracy, consistency and reliability of the
result of the study.
**This study aimed to test the degree of relationship of the Teachers
Performance ratings and the Students performance in the National
Achievement test from SY 2006-2007 up to SY 2008-2009.
**Thus, results of the said school for the said standardized tests were
also rigidly analyzed by the researchers.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

This aimed to provide empirical data that will somehow serve

as guide to the principal, Master Teachers, and teachers in their
respective courses of actions on the matters regarding the NAT.
This study was done for the purpose of motivating the teachers
BOES Administrators (principal, MTs) to make innovation
regarding their review schemes for the coming National
Achievement Test. Since, the entire Chapter II of this study have
thoroughly explained that there is a strong relationship between
the 2 variables of this study based on the LOCAL and FOREIGN
LITERATURE GATHERED.

The computed value is 0.49 which is categorized as MODERATE

COREELATION. Thus, there is a SLIGHT CORRELATION only
between these two variables. It did not support the hypothesis that
there is a perfect correlation between which is the acceptable norm in
this case.

SUMMARY OF IMPORTANT FINDINGS,

CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATON
Based from the data, Majority of the teachers are rated VERY SATISFACTORY and a
handful were rated OUTSTANDING yearly based on the Performance Appraisal System
Tool used. However, teachers ratings did not assure their students would perform very
satisfactorily or outstanding in the said test because big percentages of these students
were classified with average mastery followed by students with low mastery. None of
the graduates for the last three school years mastered the skills tested. The mean
percentage of the school did not gain much improvement. The students did not depict
the same performance as their teachers did.
However, the researcher/s saw one instrument used on this study which greatly affected
the relationship of these variables. The PERFORMANCE APPRAISAL SYSTEM TOOL
used is founded by self-rating. The objectivity, validity and accuracy of the process are
questionable. It led to subjectivity and over-rating of a teachers performance.

The researcher/s recommends that a further study regarding

the improvement of the assessment tool should be done .

Their should a be careful, objective-based and performance-based

planning of teachers to be placed in each grade level more importantly in
grades 3 and 6.
Encourage teachers to focus in instructional
and content/skill
assessment of the subject they are teaching. And upgrade their skills on
subjects concerned.
To ensure greater student performance, the school should create a
committee composed of MTs and Subject Coordinators on the NAT
-related subjects who will yearly conduct an assessment of the skills
tested. They will yearly produce review materials based from their
findings to have a more effective review scheme in the future.

The school need to implement coherent, meaningful professional development

programs which enhance teacher-effectiveness. Conduct a follow-up study in
additional to investigate further the relationship between these 2 variables.

The researcher needs to conduct a thesis regarding the

least mastered skills from this standardized tests to ensure
valid review schemes to be done next NAT.
However, the recommendations based on the result of this
study were offered by the researcher/s in the hope that
changes may happen which will support the teachers and
administrators as they work in limited resources in the
hardest and most stressful profession there is---the
improvement of student achievement in public school
education.
