In another angle, Lego (1998) made a study on the performance of social studies teachers as influenced by teaching experience, administrative

support, career plans and professional development. The participants of the study were the 54 randomly selected social studies teachers in the public secondary schools in Iloilo City. The instruments used for the data gathering were the researcher-made rating scales on Social Studies Teachers' Teaching Performance, Administrative Support for Social Studies Program and Program Development and Career plans Checklist. Descriptive statistics employed in the study were means and standard deviations. Inferential treatments employed t-test for independent means, one-way ANOVA, and Person's r set at 0.05 level of significance. The findings of the study showed that the social studies teachers in the Division of Iloilo City were rated "outstanding" in their social studies teaching performance. The teachers did not differ significantly in their social studies teaching performance when their grouped according to teaching experience, administrative support, career plans and professional development. Finally, administrative support was negatively but significantly correlated with social studies in teaching performance. Another study that looked into teachers' performance was conducted by Tendencia (1996). The subjects of the investigation were the total of 198 teacher educators and pre-secondary students randomly selected by lottery from two Asian teacher-training institutions. The dat-two Asian teacher training institutions. The datgathering instruments used were two questionnaires. The Motivational Analysis of Organization (MAO). The other gathering instruments used were the Self-Appraisal Form (Form IV) for the teacher educators and the Students' Permanent Academic Record in the registry for their GPA. Findings revealed that both Filipino faculty and the multi-racial faculty had very satisfactory teaching performance in all categories as rated by both the Filipino students and the students in multi-racial setting, taken as entire group or when classified as to different categories. Furthermore, significant relationships were noted between motivation and performance among the Filipino faculty, and between age and performance among the multi-racial faculty. Among the variables, origin, gender, and age were significantly predictors of faculty performance. Gargalicano (1995) investigated the knowledge, attitude and performance of physical education teachers in the secondary schools in Bacolod City. The study ascertained the significance of differences in the level of knowledge, attitude, and teaching performance among teachers classified as to age, educational qualification, length of physical education teaching experience, professional development, and type of school. This descriptive-correlational method of investigation utilized three different researcher-made questionnaires: Physical Education Knowledge Inventory Test, Performance Appraisal Rating Scale and Attitudinnaire. Stratified proportional sampling was employed in selecting the final subjects of the study. Means, standard deviations, and percentages were used for descriptive analysis of the o teachers' knowledge, attitude and instructional performance. The t-test for independent

samples were used for comparing two level categories. Multiple-range correlations were used to determine the significance of the relationship among teachers' knowledge, attitude, instructional performance, certain personal-related variables. Significant level was set at 0.05 alpha for a two-tailed probability in all computerized tests. The study revealed that the teachers were competent in knowledge and had very satisfactory performance. In terms of teaching performance, significant differences were noted among teachers with varied majors, between teachers with high and low professional training; and between Physical Education teachers in the public and in the private schools. Educational qualifications, professional development, and type of school were significantly correlated with teaching performance. Similarly, the study added clarifications to the present investigation. Subong's desertion (1997) ascertained how management styles and assertiveness among the academic administrators in state educational institutions in Western Visayas might associated with their performance needs. Furthermore, the study investigated how certain personal and non-personal factors might influence the administrators' management styles, assertiveness, and performance. Participants of the study were the 49 academic administrators from eight state educational institutions in Western Visayas, randomly selected from a total of 57. Data used for the investigation were Likert and Likert's Organizational Chart Profile Questionaire (in Wienrich, 1994), Dubrin's Assertiveness Test (1985), and UPLB's Rating Scale for Higher Education Administrators Test (in Ables, 1996). This descriptivecorrelational study utilized means, standard deviations as descriptive statistical tools; and the t-test, ANOVA, Pearson's r, and stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis with Path Coefficient Analysis as inferential statistics. It was found out that the academic performance of administrators in the state educational institutions in Western Visayas had "satisfactory" performance. The younger administrators reflected significantly better performance than the older administrators. The administrator's educational background, monthly salary, length of administrative experience had the greatest impact on management style, assertiveness, and performance. Subong's dissertation lends support to the present investigation, particularly long the aspect of teacher and administrators' performance. Decipolo (1999) conducted a study on the factors related to the performance of teachers in the barrio schools of San Carlos City-their implications to educational management. The respondents were the 86 randomly selected teachers in the district during the school year 1998-1999. The performance appraisal report (Performance Rating for Teachers) was utilized as the documentary material for obtaining the teachers' rating. To identify the factors affecting the performance, the researchers formulated a questionnaire for the purpose of the study.

The investigation revealed that teacher's performance-personal, social, economic, and educational-is largely a career for women, distance and risks did not deter the female teachers from accepting the assignment in far-flung schools. The "very satisfactory" performance ratings of the teachers were the consequence in their maturity in age and length of teaching experience. Educational qualifications was not very conclusive as a single factor for determining the efficiency of teachers. The teacher's problems in the classroom, as well as their personal and family problems and needs, were related to their performance (in Gasalao, 2001). In the world of competition, most especially in school-based activity, outstanding performances, in the area of concentration will always reap productive returns. Therefore, although, sometimes performance has its lowest level, one must strive hard to reach his exemplify that love on work and a little sacrifice produces high yielding performance.
