Teaching Performance of Non-Social Studies Graduates handling Social Studies Subjects

Abstract

This paper is focused on determining the teaching performance of non-Social Studies graduates handling Social Studies subjects in terms of mastery of the subject field, teaching skill, classroom management skill and evaluation skill. In this study, the descriptive method of research was utilized. The results were taken using survey questionnaire. Findings revealed that in terms of profiling, instructors are very highly competent as perceived by their supervisors and colleagues. On the contrary, there were some serious problems encountered that needs to be addressed. It is noted that there is a strong relationship between the age and years of teaching experience with the instructor’s mastery of the subject. Apart from that, the perception of the supervisors is higher than that of the colleagues. Based on the results, it was recommended to conduct a more comprehensive study using a triangulation method and to address the variety of problems encountered and possible problems that would arise.
