THE EFFECT OF EDUCATIONAL LEADERS’ COMPETENCIES ON TEACHERS’ PROFESSIONAL GROWTH

Author(s) Prof. Deanne Bryan Bucal, Dr. Jemma O. Lipit
Country Philippines
Abstract In the Philippine basic education system, particularly in Integrated Junior and Senior High Schools, effective school leadership plays a critical role in promoting teacher development and driving school improvement. This study investigated the impact of educational leaders’ competencies on the professional growth of teachers in Integrated Schools within the Schools Division of Laguna, focusing on three key domains: instructional leadership, human resource management (HRM), and school leadership, management, and operations (SLMO). Employing a quantitative causal-correlational descriptive design, data were collected from 295 teachers and 21 school heads using validated survey instruments, with statistical analyses including t-tests, Pearson correlation, and multiple regression. Results indicated that while both groups rated leadership competencies as “Very High,” teachers consistently provided lower ratings than school heads, revealing a perceptual gap. Among the domains, SLMO received the highest ratings from school heads, while teachers reported lower scores across all areas. Despite these differences, teachers rated their professional growth as “High.” T-test results showed significant differences in perceptions; correlation analysis revealed strong, positive relationships between leadership competencies and teacher development, with SLMO exerting the most substantial influence. Regression analysis identified SLMO and HRM as strong predictors of capacity building and SLAC participation, while instructional leadership had minimal impact. The study recommends implementing a leadership training program aligned with the Philippine Professional Standards for School Heads (PPSSH) to address perceptual disparities and enhance domain-specific leadership competencies.
