Chapter 1 The Problem and Literature Review
Teachers are undeniably the most crucial school-based determinant of student learning, as they
Numerous studies support the notion that teaching quality directly affects student achievement. A
study by the Organization for Economic Cooperation and Development (OECD) in 2005
highlighted the critical role of teaching quality in the success of educational systems. It
emphasized that ensuring high-quality teaching demands continuous support, training, and
teaching quality, clinical supervision stands out as a promising avenue, necessitating further
investigation of its effectiveness and identification of best practices (& Kim, S. H., & Lee, H. S.,
2019). This research aims to explore how clinical supervision can contribute to enhancing
educational experiences.
particularly in the context of the Philippines, where the Department of Education (DepEd)
mandates the implementation of a teacher supervision and evaluation system in public schools.
The Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST), introduced in 2017 by the
Department of Education, establishes a framework for teacher quality and competence that
This study also carries implications for policy and education reform. By investigating the

Standards for Teachers (PPST) and the mandated teacher supervision and evaluation system,
valuable insights can be offered to policymakers and education leaders. These insights may lead
to the refinement of existing policies, the design of effective teacher professional development
programs, and the promotion of evidence-based reforms, ultimately elevating the overall quality
of education in the country. Additionally, the research aims to identify best practices in clinical
supervision, exploring different supervision models, such as the collaborative model versus the
traditional model. These findings can serve as guidance for schools and educational institutions
in adopting more effective supervision approaches, fostering teacher growth, engagement, and
professional development.
Moreover, investigating the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing clinical
is vital, and the research can inform strategies to address resource constraints, build support
structures, and cultivate a positive perception of supervision among teachers. This can lead to
As the research contributes to the scholarship on teacher professional development, it sheds light
on the impact of clinical supervision on teacher knowledge, skills, and attitudes. The empirical
evidence gathered can guide future studies in this area, providing a comprehensive understanding
of how supervision can serve as a key driver for continuous improvement among educators.
In conclusion, this research plays a significant role in advancing the field of education and
teacher development in the Philippines. By exploring the impact and effectiveness of clinical
supervision from the perspective of teachers, it informs policy, identifies best practices,
addresses challenges, and ultimately elevates teacher quality, positively influencing the overall

Literature Review
The evaluation of teachers within the Department of Education is anchored on the Results-based
Management System (RPMS), which was introduced in the country in 2012. This system
by school heads, teachers, and staff members in the planning and implementation of the annual
implementation plan. The establishment of RPMS aims to strengthen the linkage between the
Strategic Performance Management System and organizational goals, while also ensuring that
individual accountabilities are cascaded throughout all levels (Read & Atinc, 2017). The
Areas (KRAs): 1) content knowledge and pedagogy, 2) learning environment and diversity of
learners, 3) curriculum and planning, 4) assessment and reporting, and 5) plus factors (DepEd,
2018).
It is observed that while principals often observe classroom teaching, there seems to be limited
support for subject knowledge. Instead, the focus is primarily on supporting teaching practices
teachers holding a bachelor's degree, full state certification and/or licensure, and demonstrating
sufficient content knowledge in each subject they teach. Notably, the overall performance of
teachers varies significantly based on factors such as gender, age, experience, qualifications, and
their specific professional position (Andrews, 2012; Tang, 2010). Considering the continuous
process of change in the education landscape, teachers must continually engage in learning,
growth, and adapt to new teaching techniques, content standards, and curricula (Fisher, Frey &
Nelson, 2012).
pg. 5
The study by Buddin and Zamarro (2009) revealed that teacher experience is the most significant
factor contributing to effectiveness and has the greatest impact on students' achievement.
Similarly, Kini and Podolsky (2016) claimed in their research that teaching experience is
positively correlated with students' academic progress throughout a teacher's career. Teachers'
effectiveness tends to improve with years of experience, which may be most pronounced in their
first few years and continues to be important as they progress in their careers. As teachers gain
more experience, their students not only show better performance on tests but also exhibit
Moreover, teachers' effectiveness improves at a faster rate as they accumulate experience within
the same grade level, subject, or district, especially when they work in a supportive and collegial
environment. This leads to greater student learning for both their colleagues and their school, in
addition to their own students. Providing meaningful professional development opportunities for
in-service teachers is an ongoing process that requires thoughtful and purposeful planning by
educational leaders (Smith, 2016). Berne et al. (2011) noted that with the many expectations
placed on teachers, it can be challenging for them to attend professional development sessions
and immediately implement new ideas into their classroom practices. Therefore, academic
leaders are tasked with providing effective professional development for teachers in a manner
that ensures a meaningful experience and facilitates the application of new knowledge into
classroom practice.
Meanwhile, Demombynes (2018) in the World Bank report found that most teachers in the
Philippines receive some form of in-service training, but the duration of these training sessions is
shorter than in other countries. Often, these trainings are conducted as 'mass training' sessions in
schools or DepEd offices, with outside experts rarely involved, and the training may not be

aligned with the specific needs of schools or teachers. Similarly, Darling-Hammond (2007)
emphasized that successful school programs cannot be effectively implemented if teachers are
unaware of how to properly apply them in their specific context. Consequently, effective
reform, and problem-based (Shelton, 2009). Teachers who demonstrate commitment to their own
professional development also play a significant role in fostering the professional development
According to Gonong (2018), elementary school teachers did not receive sufficient training in
curriculum revision to meet its requirements. A one-week seminar is inadequate to gain the
necessary knowledge about the new curriculum, and only a limited number of teachers,
particularly those in remote areas, have the opportunity to attend trainings or seminars. Teachers
face challenges attending seminars as they are expected to be in school at all times, and taking
time off for further education or training leaves pupils unattended due to the lack of a proper
For this reason, instructional supervision is an essential tool utilized by school administrators to
achieve acceptable performance and results. It serves as a quality control mechanism within the
school system, with a primary focus on meeting educational system expectations. Both new and
experienced teachers require assistance in implementing educational programs, and school heads,
particularly principals, play a crucial role in providing support and monitoring instructional
programs through classroom observation, personal interaction, and instructional support (Sule,

Mentoring, coaching, performance review, and evaluation are integral components of classroom
practices that contribute to the continuous professional growth of teachers. According to Suparto
(2020), academic supervision combined with classroom observation techniques can enhance the
study (Ghavifekr, Husain, Rosden & Hamat, 2019). Classroom observation involves pre-
determined indicators agreed upon by teachers and observers, ensuring teachers are well-
prepared. The raters in the classroom include the Head Teacher, Master Teacher, and Principal.

Observations conducted at the School Division Office (SDO) level do not directly impact a
teacher's performance review. Properly conducted observation can be a reliable approach for
assessing and monitoring a teacher's progress, providing specific targets for improvement.

School heads play a vital role in enhancing pupils' achievement through their facilitation,
supervision, and support of good instructional practices. They collaborate with staff to develop
suitable teaching methodologies and provide active participation, collaboration, and effective
leadership to support teachers (Inclusive School Network, 2015). Instructional support for
teachers is a school leader's approach to maximize individual teachers' success while also
identifying those who may require specialized educational services. Instructional support is a
positive, results-oriented method that employs specific evaluation and intervention techniques to
help all teachers overcome educational or behavioral obstacles in their classroom instructions

(Roberts, 2020). School principals provide instructional support to teachers by forming advisory
committees, creating conducive work environments, assisting with work-related issues, and
fostering connections with other school leaders. Studies have shown that when instructional

collectively contribute to student learning and academic achievements (Luntungan, 2012). Klein
and Knitzers (2016) outlined five competencies that teachers must possess: language proficiency
and fluency for classroom instruction, pedagogical skills suitable for different classes and
activities, subject matter mastery, classroom management abilities, and skills in assessing
students' achievements. The researcher for this study based these competencies on the
Department of Education (DepEd) and The Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers
learners, curriculum planning, assessment, community linkages, and professional growth and
development.
There are three predominant approaches for teachers' content knowledge and pedagogy: self-
reflection (Joyce & Calhoun, 2010). A self-regulated teacher takes control of their learning
process by setting goals, selecting strategies, and evaluating their performance (Wallender,
2016). Self-regulated teachers benefit from autonomy and individual knowledge construction.
Autonomy is crucial for teachers to learn at their own pace and control their learning through

understand the significance of exposing today's pupils to technology. They actively strive to
customized learning, offering broader access to information. Teachers with high ICT-based
competency believe that adoption of ICT is not merely accepting an innovation, but also ensuring
its appropriate integration within a specific environment. They consider students' existing
understanding of media and utilize ICT to encourage deliberate thinking, fostering reflection on
reading and writing experiences in the context of the 21st century (Martens, 2010).

Another essential model for teacher competency is collaboration, particularly significant in the
curriculum and planning process. Collaborative teachers construct knowledge together, sharing a
common goal and working cooperatively to achieve it. This collaborative approach occurs

Research on clinical supervision in the Philippines has examined various aspects of the practice,
including its impact on teacher professional growth and development, the effectiveness of
different supervision models, and the challenges and opportunities associated with implementing
pg. 14
supervision in schools. One study by Carillo, Tolentino, and Borabo (2018) investigated the
impact of clinical supervision on the professional growth of teachers in a public school in the
Philippines. The study found that the use of clinical supervision led to significant improvements
in teacher knowledge, skills, and attitudes, particularly in the areas of classroom management,
Another study by Dizon (2018) explored the effectiveness of different supervision models in a
public-school setting. The study compared the traditional model of supervision, which focused
on teacher compliance with established standards and guidelines, with a collaborative model that
emphasized teacher engagement and participation in the supervision process. The study found
that the collaborative model was more effective in promoting teacher professional growth and
development.
Macasaet and Buenaobra (2020) examined the challenges and opportunities associated with
implementing clinical supervision in Philippine schools. The study identified several challenges,
including a lack of resources and support for supervision, a lack of understanding among
teachers and school leaders of the purpose and benefits of supervision, and resistance from
teachers who viewed supervision as a form of evaluation rather than a tool for professional
growth. The study also highlighted opportunities for improving supervision practices, such as
providing more training and support for supervisors and teachers, establishing a culture of
The study conducted by Dagpin (2022) indicated that school heads were perceived as skillful in

This research aims to address the gap in the implementation of clinical supervision
practices in public elementary schools and the need to align them with the Philippine
Professional Standards for Teachers (PPST). Despite the importance of teacher quality in
promoting student learning outcomes, there is a lack of empirical evidence on the effectiveness
of clinical supervision in improving teacher quality in the Philippine context. Additionally, there
is a need to identify effective practices and strategies for implementing clinical supervision and
aligning it with PPST to ensure that it contributes to the overall professional growth and

Procedures
This research study will center on the implementation of clinical supervision practices by school
heads and master teachers to enhance teacher quality and performance, as per the standards
outlined in the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers. The researcher will adopt a
qualitative research design, specifically employing the phenomenological research method. This
method delves deep into social phenomena, allowing researchers to explore the natural worlds of

Research Site
This study will be conducted within the Schools Division Office of Imus. The establishment of
the City Schools Division of Imus was in accordance with Deped Order No. 50 s. 2002, which
coincided with the creation of the City Government of Imus through RA 10161. To materialize
this objective, a Memorandum of Agreement (MOA) was signed by Bro. Armin A. Luistro FSC,
the Secretary of the Department of Education, and Hon. Emmanuel L. Maliksi, the City Mayor
of Imus, who collaborated to achieve this shared goal. Dr. Lualhati O. Cadavedo was
subsequently appointed as the first Officer in Charge (OIC) Division Superintendent on January
pg. 22
12, 2013. In order to ensure efficient and effective delivery of education services, the division
has been divided into three districts. Presently, the Schools Division of Imus oversees 25 public
elementary schools.
The participants for this research study will be selected based on specific criteria to gain
elementary schools in the Philippines. The study will involve school principals and officer in
charge (OIC) from 25 public elementary schools in the Schools Division of Imus City, who
actively conduct clinical supervision with their teachers. Additionally, purposeful sampling will
be employed to select additional participants from the pool of 200 master teachers in public
elementary schools.
The rationale for selecting these participants lies in their significant roles in the clinical
supervision process. School principals and OICs are responsible for overseeing and conducting
clinical supervision, while master teachers play a crucial role in supporting and guiding their
fellow teachers during the process. By including both school leaders and master teachers, the
research aims to capture a diverse range of perspectives, experiences, and insights related to
clinical supervision practices and their impact on teacher quality and professional growth.
Data Collection
The data collection procedures in this phenomenological qualitative research will involve a
comprehensive approach to explore the experiences and perceptions of school heads and master
teachers regarding the implementation of clinical supervision practices and its impact on teacher
pg. 23
quality and performance in the context of the Philippine Professional Standards for Teachers
(PPST).
Firstly, semi-structured interviews will be conducted with school principals, officer in charge
(OIC), and master teachers. These interviews will allow participants to share their insights and
experiences regarding clinical supervision techniques, both individual and group activities. By
delving into the strengths, weaknesses, and deficiencies identified during the learning process,
the study aims to improve the overall quality of education. Furthermore, the interviews will
explore the link between teacher performance evaluation and the effectiveness of the learning
process. Teachers' awareness of dynamic teaching standards and their role in personal growth
and development will also be emphasized. Secondly, observations will be carried out during
clinical supervision sessions involving school heads, master teachers, and teachers. These
observations will provide valuable insights into the interactions and dynamics within the
supervision process, enriching the understanding of how clinical supervision impacts teacher
performance.
Data Analysis
The data analysis procedures will involve a systematic and in-depth examination of the gathered
practices and its impact on teacher quality and performance. The data collected through semi-
structured interviews with school principals, officer in charge (OIC), and master teachers will be
transcribed and analyzed using thematic analysis. This process will involve identifying recurring
patterns and themes within the participants' responses, focusing on their experiences,
pg. 24
perceptions, and insights related to clinical supervision. By organizing the data into meaningful
themes, the researchers can explore the different aspects of clinical supervision practices and
Additionally, the data from observations during clinical supervision sessions will be analyzed
through content analysis. This approach will involve systematically categorizing the observed
behaviors, interactions, and dynamics within the supervision process. The researchers will look
for commonalities and variations in the implementation of clinical supervision practices across
different schools and participants. By triangulating the findings from interviews and
observations, the research can achieve a more robust and holistic understanding of the
Role of Researcher
The researcher's primary responsibility will be to conduct semi-structured interviews with school
principals, officer in charge (OIC), and master teachers, aiming to gather comprehensive
information about their experiences and insights regarding clinical supervision techniques and
their impact on teacher quality and performance. These interviews will help the researcher
identify recurring patterns and themes within the participants' responses, enabling them to
In addition to interviews, the researcher will also actively engage in observations during clinical
supervision sessions involving school heads, master teachers, and teachers. By closely observing
the interactions and dynamics within the supervision process, the researcher can gain valuable

insights into how clinical supervision practices impact teacher performance. This will further
Once the data collection phase is complete, the researcher will play a critical role in the data
analysis process. Thematic analysis will be used to analyze the transcribed interviews, focusing
on identifying common themes and patterns within the participants' experiences and perceptions
related to clinical supervision. Furthermore, content analysis will be applied to the data obtained
and interactions. Triangulating the findings from interviews and observations will allow the
supervision practices on teacher quality and professional growth in the context of the Philippine
Method of Validation
In this study focusing on clinical supervision practices in public elementary schools, the
researcher will employ member checking as one validation method. This involves presenting the
initial findings and interpretations to the participants, such as school principals, officer in charge
(OIC), and master teachers, to allow them to review and verify the accuracy of the data and its
validate their own perspectives and experiences, contributing to the overall reliability of the
research findings.
pg. 26
Another method of validation in this qualitative research is triangulation. By combining data
from semi-structured interviews with school leaders and master teachers, along with observations
during clinical supervision sessions, the researcher can enhance the robustness and validity of the
study's conclusions. Triangulation involves using multiple sources of data to corroborate and
validate the findings, thus strengthening the overall trustworthiness of the research outcomes.
The systematic and comprehensive examination of data through member checking and
triangulation contributes to ensuring the accuracy and credibility of the qualitative research study
on clinical supervision practices and their impact on teacher quality and performance in the
The researcher must obtain informed consent from all participants, including school principals,
officer in charge (OIC), and master teachers. They should be fully informed about the research
purpose, data collection methods, and how their responses will be used. The participants must
voluntarily agree to take part in the study without any coercion or pressure from the researcher or
their superiors. Secondly , since the study involves exploring the experiences and perceptions of
school leaders and master teachers, it is crucial to maintain confidentiality and anonymity. The
researcher should ensure that the identities of the participants are protected, and their responses
are kept confidential. This is especially important as the participants may share sensitive
information about their professional practices and interactions with colleagues. Moreover, given
that the study involves school principals and teachers, there could be power dynamics that may
influence the participants' responses. The researcher should be mindful of these power
pg. 27
imbalances and create a safe and non-threatening environment for the participants to share their
experiences openly.
To address these ethical concerns, the researcher should have a clear and transparent informed
establish protocols for data handling and storage to ensure confidentiality and anonymity. Open
communication and sensitivity to power dynamics during data collection will also be essential to
