SATISFACTION AND PRODUCTIVITY OF BEGINNING

TEACHERS ON THE INDUCTION PROGRAM IN GUIMBA,


NUEVA ECIJA

CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM

Background of the Study

Teacher induction defined by Cleaver, S., Detrich, R., States, J. & Keyworth, R.

(2020) is a set of practices that help transferring and beginning teachers become competent

and effective instructors. The goals of induction are to improve instructional practices; to help

teachers in their first years understand and effectively integrate into school and community

cultures; and ultimately to improve pupil learning. By supporting the teachers and facilitating

their socialization into the profession, school systems could potentially reduce the significant

turnover rate of teachers in the first 5 years of employment. Despite its substantial cost,

induction has failed to meet most of the stated goals. Research reveals that despite setting

high expectations, current models fall short in selecting evidence-based approaches for

accomplishing the task. Goals and practices for induction activities are not clearly defined nor

is performance effectively monitored. Finally, most models fail to provide effective

implementation strategies necessary for sustainability. The overall message is that

comprehensive teacher induction has the potential to positively impact teaching practices and
pupil learning, but it requires careful reconsideration of current conceptual, procedural, and

empirical foundations of the practice.

Induction Program for Beginning Teachers (IPBT) is a systematic and comprehensive

professional development program for beginning teachers with 0 to 3 years of teaching

experience that has been developed to improve their knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values

(KSAVs), and increase their confidence in teaching to make them effective and efficient

teachers who nurture the potentials, abilities, and talents of every learner (DepEd2022).

DepEd Order No. 43 s. 2017 or The Teacher Induction Program (TIP) Policy is issued

to serve as a guide in the implementation of TIP. The program is institutionalized to provide a

systematic and comprehensive support system for teacher inductees in order to seamlessly

immerse them to the teaching profession in the public school system. Based on the results of

the study conducted by Penafiel (2020), there are several considerations and concerns raised

by the respondents as regards the implementation of TIP that may be considered for policy

enhancement such as but not limited to selection of mentor, proper orientation in the school

level, revisiting of TIP Modules, and the implementation plan in the school.

In 2019, following the provisions of DO No. 11, 2019 (Implementation of the NEAP

Transformation), NEAP is mandated to take charge of the design, development and delivery

of programs supporting teachers and school leaders. This will include the Teacher Induction

Program (TIP). It was further recommended that NEAP assume full responsibility for the

Teacher Induction Program (TIP) through establishing policies and support materials to build

capacity of in-school mentors and coaches, and enhance peer observation skills and

strengthen Learning Action Cells (LACs).

To align with NEAP’s goal of developing a fully integrated professional development

program, the Teacher Induction Program (TIP) was transferred from the Teacher Education
Council (TEC) Secretariat to NEAP. It is for this reason that the TIP, as implemented by D.O.

No. 43, s. 2017, needs to be revisited. After a series of consultative workshops with teachers

and field implementers, TIP will be renamed to Induction Program for Beginning Teachers

(IPBT).

This revision from TIP to IPBT is aimed to i) strengthen the orientation for teacher

inductees; ii) review the program modules to streamline content and avoid duplication of

content topics; iii) make monitoring and evaluation systematic, organized, and relevant; and

iv) adapt a detailed implementation plan.

Specifically, the IPBT aims to guide beginning teachers to:

a. demonstrate knowledge and understanding of DepEd— its vision, mission, goals, and

strategic directions; systems and processes; school policies and procedures—and teacher

rights and responsibilities;

b. articulates and apply knowledge, skills, attitudes, and values (KSAVs)

required of beginning teachers as specified in the PPST and DepEd Core Values; and

c. improve practice towards career progression based on set professional development goals.

The IPBT will serve as the foundation for the professional development of beginning teachers

and, subsequently, for the improvement of student learning.

New teacher induction programs have many components, such as professional development

(PD), coaching, and mentorship. Mentoring is a significant component, but mentorship could

only provide minimal support at best, especially when mentors were classroom teachers. The

Southern Regional Education Board (SREB) noted, “if mentoring duties are simply tacked on
top of teaching duties, it limits the time and energy available for quality mentoring—resulting

in new teachers who receive inconsistent and compliance-driven support” (2018, p. 3).

Over the past years, researchers have pointed out in their studies related to the field of

education the challenges and problems faced by new teachers during their practice teaching

(Han, 2023; Wu, 2018; Ren, 2016). Also, there was no interest in induction programs that

support and guide new teachers. Moreover, in recent years, the issue of supporting and

guiding beginning teachers has become a problem that many countries suffer from, due to the

lack of teachers (Han, 2023). In addition, many recent studies have found that the most

important challenges teachers face during the early years of practicing the profession are a

lack of self-efficacy, defining thereby a teaching identity, managing work-related stress and

requirements, meeting performance expectations, enduring and dealing with heavy teaching

loads and intense competition, and navigating relationships with students, colleagues, parents,

and administrators (Han, 2023; Headden, 2014; Atteberry et al., 2015; Ren, 2016; Wu, 2018).

Teachers’ induction programs (TIPs) represent bridges through which new teachers move

into the process of teaching students, as the main aim of these programs was to provide

teachers in the early years with support and guidance from experienced teachers in the field

of teaching, in order to enhance the quality of teachers’ teaching and cooperation in the

classroom, and thus to retain new teachers who are able to manage their classes effectively;

and this is reflected in the quality of students' achievement (Han, 2023; Porter & Thompson,

2022).

A new or novice teacher is a teacher within the first three years of his or her teaching

career. Today, there are more new teachers than ever, and the number of new teachers is

increasing even more each passing year. In the early 1990s, most teachers had around 15

years of classroom experience. Now, most teachers currently employed in schools have only

one year of 10 teaching experience (Bastian & Marks, 2017). Teachers with little experience
make up the majority of the teaching force in today’s schools around the world (Bastian &

Marks, 2017; Glazerman et al., 2010). That means that most of the teachers currently

employed have three or less years of classroom teaching experience.

A good induction program addresses the important issues of transition from being a

preservice teacher to being a teacher and sets the tone for a teacher’s personal and

professional identity (Ryan, 2018). It should assist the beginning teacher to understand their

responsibilities to students, the public, and the profession. Beginning teachers need to

continue to develop their own personal and professional philosophy as to what it means to be

a professional teacher.

Beginning teachers need mentors who exhibit the qualities of trust, confidentiality,

and the ability to empower mentees. The mentor and mentee must have a personal

relationship. This relationship is critical for successful mentoring and is a connection that

builds over time (Hallamet al., 2012). Five key features comprise effective mentoring

relationships. To build this relationship, a mentor must model positive interactions, ask open-

ended questions, paraphrase to show understanding, offer non-judgmental statements, and

provide think-time (Boogren, 2015). Mentorship that supports the beginning teachers’ self-

efficacy along with supporting emotional needs ensures that the teacher feels support through

stressful and challenging times. When beginning teachers feel support and success, they stay

in the teaching profession. (Tracy Ehlers 2919).

A beginning teacher's first year is the most important (Boogren, 2015). During this

year, the teacher must implement strategies from teacher preparation programs and student

teaching experiences (Boogren, 2015). Beginning teachers are also learning the realities of

new schools, curriculum, and students (Boogren, 2015).


Job satisfaction is the direct relationship between a work environment and an

individual’s attitude towards work (Dağyar, 2020). Many factors contribute to positive or

negative job experiences. The job satisfaction of teachers is dependent upon each individual

school. Working conditions and school composition are factors that a school can control.

Teacher characteristics are based on the individual. Working conditions that a school or

school district can control are workload, availability of necessary resources, and coworker

collaboration (Toropova et al., 2021). Student factors contribute to teacher job satisfaction.

Teachers take student achievement personally and feel better about themselves and their jobs

21 when students are successful (Wang et al., 2020). Opportunities for professional

development and support from leadership also make a difference when individuals rate their

job satisfaction (Toropova et al., 2021). Many surveys have been conducted over time to

measure levels of job satisfaction. Surveys are conducted and then measured with descriptive

statistics and correlations (Kasalak, & Dağyar, 2020).

Studies conducted in South Africa suggest that beginning teachers participating in

induction programs show greater improvements in teaching skills compared to teachers who

participate in very few or no induction (Lorenz, Maulana, Van De Grift, 2016:15).

https://repository.up.ac.za/bitstream/handle/2263/78469/Mamba_Views_2020.pdf?

sequence=1

Researchers are especially interested in the levels of job satisfaction of teachers, so

they are common. Many studies have been conducted to rate and understand the job

satisfaction of teachers. Research has made a connection between lessened teacher attrition

and job satisfaction (Ingersoll & Strong, 2011; Toropova et al., 2021). When teachers are

happy with their jobs and teaching assignments, they do not quit. Job satisfaction and
working conditions play an important role in an individual’s decision to remain in the

teaching profession but more research is needed to focus on the job satisfaction of teachers

and make connections to novice teacher attrition rates. Induction programs seek to improve

job satisfaction rates by providing meaningful professional development opportunities and

providing support to improve working conditions. “Teachers are expected to love their

professions, to have a positive attitude towards their jobs, to be satisfied with what their

professions bring to them, and to have high self-efficacy beliefs that they can do their jobs”

(Kasalak, & Dağyar, 2020, p. 18) yet there is no standard system for helping teachers feel

support and confidence in what they do. The intention of induction programs is to bridge the

gap between expectation and reality.

Not only does job satisfaction contribute to teacher retention, but it also helps teachers

and students to improve their well-being and can lead to effective school cohesion and

teacher professional status (Toropova et al., 2021). The concept of job satisfaction was first

introduced by Taylor (1912), and Feng and Qin (2009) summarised that job satisfaction as

either the employee's attitude towards their job or the emotional reflection; or both, the

employee's emotional experience of various aspects of the work situation. Guo (2021)

emphasized that teachers' job performance and productivity are impacted by their level of job

satisfaction, which can also have an impact on how stable their jobs are. The particularly

significant and serious headline 'Teachers Are Not OK Now, Even Though We Need Them'

(Will, 2021) appeared in a 2021 Education Week story, and Forbes' February 2022 story

noted 'Stress issues are driving teachers out of the workforce' (Daphne Gomez, 2022).

Appearing in the April 2022 issue of Education Week, author Madeline Will presents the

serious conclusion that 'teacher job satisfaction has reached an all-time low at the current

time. It is because such a viewpoint is presented that allows us to reflect on why the extent of

teacher satisfaction, which is continually and constantly discussed and researched, has
changed so much. Because such reports never cease, they provoke us to think deeply about

what teachers are going through, how they are performing in their current jobs and what

triggers them to think deeply about job satisfaction.

Therefore, the purpose of this study is to examine the satisfaction and productivity of

beginning teachers on the induction programs in Guimba, Nueva Ecija.

learners their behavioral intentions to use learning management system and satisfaction.
Definition of Terms

The following terms are hereby defined operationally according to the distinctive use in the

study to ensure clear understanding by the readers.

Satisfaction. In the context of this study, satisfaction refers to the level of contentment,

fulfillment, and positive feelings that beginning teachers experience in their work and

professional environment. It includes aspects such as job satisfaction, satisfaction with

support and resources, satisfaction with the induction program, and overall satisfaction with

their teaching career.

Productivity. In the context of this study, refers to the effectiveness and efficiency with

which beginning teachers perform their teaching duties and responsibilities. It encompasses

factors such as lesson planning and delivery, student engagement and learning outcomes,

time management, ability to meet instructional goals, collaboration with colleagues, and

overall effectiveness in the classroom.

Beginning Teachers. Beginning teachers, also referred to as novice teachers or early-career

teachers, are educators who are in the early stages of their teaching careers. They have

typically completed their initial teacher education and are in the process of gaining

experience and developing their teaching skills. In this study, they are the focus of

investigation to understand their experiences, satisfaction, and productivity during their

induction period.
Induction Programs. Induction programs are structured support systems and professional

development initiatives provided to beginning teachers at the start of their teaching careers.

These programs aim to facilitate their transition into the teaching profession, provide

mentoring and guidance, enhance their pedagogical skills and knowledge, and offer support

in navigating the challenges of the classroom and school environment. Induction programs

can vary in duration, structure, and content, but they generally aim to provide comprehensive

support to beginning teachers during their initial years in the profession.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter presents literature and studies upon which the researcher organized

On Induction Program of Beginning Teacher

Teacher induction is a professional development program that incorporates mentoring and is

designed to offer support, guidance, and orientation for beginning teachers during the

transition into their first teaching jobs. These programs help beginning teachers through their

first year of teaching by supporting ongoing dialogue and collaboration among teachers,

which accelerates the beginning teachers’ effectiveness and increases student achievement

(AIR 2015).

Induction programs for beginning teachers are important for their support and

retention in the profession. These programs should include components such as mentoring,

professional development, and evaluation (Brandi Disberger, Shannon G. Washburn, et.al.;

2022). Effective induction programs have been found to decrease teacher attrition rates and

increase job satisfaction (William Jesse Bacon, 2020). Beginning teachers often feel isolated

and lack support, which can lead to their decision to leave the profession (Thooptong

Kwangsawad, 2020). Components of an effective induction program include a structured

mentoring program, reduced workload, new teacher orientation, and collaboration between

the school district and the university (SciSpace 2022). Quality induction programs provide

support to beginning teachers through guidance and professional learning, helping them

develop resilience and self-efficacy (SciSpace 2022). It is important for induction programs

to address the unique needs of beginning teachers and provide resources, multiple mentors,

feedback on teaching, and structured reflection.

Sean Kearney (2017), Beginning teacher induction is becoming an increasingly popular

process in acculturating teachers to their new careers. The problems that teachers face early in
their careers are well known, and effective and ongoing induction is one of the foremost

practices for alleviating the pressures that teachers face early in their careers.

https://typeset.io/papers/beginning-teacher-induction-in-secondary-schools-a-best-2es8iiz5dd

Fatma ÇOBANOĞLU1 & Zeynep Ayvaz-Tuncel1(2018) Perspectives on beginning teachers’

possible problems and their reasons force many of the countries to develop teacher induction

programs. Teacher induction programs are extensive, consistent and ongoing professional

processes aiming to train, support, and protect novice teachers. In Turkey, the process of

“teacher induction program” which has been initiated in 2016 is a regulation to train novice

teachers for six months. The rationale of the program for the novice teachers is to have more

practical experience and in turn to teach effectively in their classrooms. As each new

regulation can be accompanied by some obscurities, scientific research will serve to increase

the quality of the processes and practices in teacher induction programs. In this sense, the

current research aims to determine the views of 357 novice teachers on the goal achievement

of the teacher induction program. A questionnaire form was developed to collect the data

consisting of 43 questions one of which is an open-ended question. Results suggested that

preservice education and teacher induction program have similar contributions in regard to

the goal achievement of the teacher induction program. Moreover, considering the process as

a whole, the mentor has an important role in the development of novice teachers.

Beginning teachers' evaluation in induction programs has been the focus of several

research studies. One study conducted in the Philippines found that novice teachers faced

challenges during their Teacher Induction Program (TIP) in improving instructional effectiveness

and professional development. The study recommended an enhanced mentoring program

embedded in an action plan to reevaluate the TIP and provide stronger support from school

administrators (Reynaldo Moral et.al; (2022). Another evaluative case study explored how
mentors or coaches, called Associates, support beginning in-service teachers in developing

reflective teaching practices. The study suggested that Associates should meet beginning teachers

where they are on the reflective continuum and emphasized the need for meaningful professional

development for Associates (Julie A. Bell et.al; 2022). A study conducted in a northeastern

Louisiana school district identified the characteristics of effective teacher induction programs and

highlighted the importance of a structured mentoring program, reduced workload, new teacher

orientation, professional development, and collaboration between the school district and the

university [3]. A longitudinal qualitative case study focused on beginning agriculture teachers and

recommended components for an induction program, including developing a supportive

community, providing resources, multiple mentors, feedback on teaching, and structured

reflection (Brandi Disberger et.al; 2022).

On Satisfaction of Beginning Teachers on the Induction Program

Quality of Mentor (mentor-mentee)

Beginning teachers need a strong mentor – someone who they can go to when they are

struggling, but who can also help them improve their instruction. (Smith et. al., 2018) found

that one of the biggest challenges to providing high-quality mentoring is time, both for
mentors and mentees to meet together but also to allow the mentor to regularly observe and

provide feedback on their mentee's instruction. Another challenge is getting the right

mentor/mentee fit – one that will lead to openness, trust, and the kinds of support that will

help the new teacher succeed. In some of our work in large urban districts, instructional

leaders found it challenging to identify mentors or coaches who not only effectively teach to

the standards themselves but who also have the skills to help another adult do the same (Cobb

et. al., 2018; Wilhelm et. al., 2016).

Mukeredzi et al. (2015), in turn, agree with Nkomo et al. (2018) when explaining

mentoring as a one-on-one relationship between a competent, experienced teacher (mentor)

and a novice or trainee (mentee).

In addition to sufficient time and a positive mentor/mentee match, another challenge is

proximity or access. While large urban schools may be able to find effective mentors for

beginning teachers in the same school teaching the same grade or subject, smaller schools,

often in more rural districts, may struggle to find a good match. One upside of the remote

learning that most schools turned to over the last year is that both incoming beginning

teachers and their mentors are much more familiar with Zoom/Google Classroom/Microsoft

Teams or other video communications technologies. These technologies can allow for

effective mentor/mentee matches across longer distances, for example, with mentees filming

their own classroom instruction and then watching it with their mentor over the

Internet – even if separated by hundreds of miles (NIET,2021).

Kutsyuruba and Godden (2019) indicate that mentoring can be view as the

professional development of younger teachers, which promotes the continuous and lifelong

development of teachers.
The process of mentoring has emerged as a professional development technique in

education to improve teachers' professional skills through career development (Akhalq et al.,

2016). With this in mind, Smit and Du Toit (2016) state that a mentoring program contributes

to beginner teachers' professional development and helps them to develop their full potential.

By promoting professional development among newly qualified teachers, mentors enable

these beginner teachers to acquire certain skills, which makes them more effective in their

new work environment (Kutsyuruba & Godden, 2019).

https://www.niet.org/newsroom/show/blog/quality-mentoring-new-teachers-

thomas-smith

Mentorship provides a teacher with a companion to walk beside them as they begin the

teaching profession. In their investigation into teacher support, Reitman and Karge concluded

that “the most helpful thing that participants found was someone to walk alongside them and

support them. Every answer mentioned a relationship with a mentor or colleague” (2019, p.

14). “The mentor serves in the role of a guide on the side to fellow educators, creating self-

reflection and inspiring lifelong learning” (Reitman & Karge, 2019, p. 15). Having a mentor

allows new teachers to experience on-the-job growth and develop resilience. “Novices are

becoming more competent and capable because their growth and learning is contextually

relevant and is occurring under the guidance of more experienced teachers and/or

administrators” (Morettini, Luet, & Vernon-Dotson, 2020, p. 56). The guidance provided

through mentorships promotes a safe and trusting environment where teachers learn.

Successful mentorships are intentional about developing relationships, supporting teachers in

their content area, collaborating with other teachers, and providing enough interaction

between mentor and mentee. Mentoring can be formal or informal, but frequency is important

for success (Wang, et al., 2020). In a study where teachers were given open topic mentoring
time, teachers and mentors journaled what topics were discussed during mentoring. Cavan,

Durodoye, Zhang, and Bock found that “Teachers participating in fewer than 4 hours of

mentoring meetings a month might need additional support. Additionally, topics frequently

covered in the mentoring meetings might suggest areas for more formal professional

development” (2021, p.16). In regard to mentorship programs, “The keys to success include

having a mentor teacher in the same subject area, common planning time with teachers in the

same subject, and regularly scheduled collaborations with other teachers” (Shuls & Flores,

2020, p. 13). Relationships between mentors and mentees increase retention, foster positive

attitudes and feelings of efficacy, and increase overall job satisfaction. “The mentor-mentee

relationships help to create a positive effect on student success and to develop a renewed

professional perspective for the mentor” (Shuls & Flores, 2020, p.13). Students benefit from

these relationships because through them, new teachers gain classroom management and

instructional skills, and have the opportunity to develop problem-solving skills through the

guidance of a mentor.

Collaborative Environment

Collaborative teaching environments provide opportunities for teachers to learn from

and with each other on an ongoing basis. Teachers can observe other teachers in action,

engage in professional conversations about the impact of different approaches, and get

feedback on their own teaching (TKI 2022).

Using practices from instructional coaching, leaders can assist beginning teachers in

developing the knowledge, skills, and efficacy they need (Lindsay Stoetzel, Stephanie

Shedrow 2021).

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/ref/10.1080/00228958.2021.1890444?scroll=top
Collaboration Teachers feel valued when they are given space to share their expertise,

collaborate, and solve problems related to their students. “When teachers are supported in

collaborating and doing what works for children, they feel more efficacious in the work”

(Podolsky, et al., 2019, p. 18). According to Hurley, “Teachers who collaborate with their

colleagues are able to overcome professional hurdles, trust each other with their capabilities

and expertise, and share similar problems and experiences; furthermore, this leads to higher

levels of engagement, vigor, and dedication” (2021, p.24). When leaders establish

collaborative support for teachers, they create a built-in support system. This is important for

all teachers, 27 but especially for early career teachers. “Mutually supportive, and trusting

personal, professional, and peer relationships are important in beginning teachers’ capability

to become resilient in the face of challenging and stressful circumstances and situations”

(Morettini, et al., 2020, p.58).

https://scholarworks.gvsu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1246&context=gradprojects

(Dijana Tiplic, Eyvind Elstad ;et al.; 2019)Encouraging teachers to participate in

collaborative learning activities for professional development has become an important part

of educational reform strategies in many countries. Recent research suggests these activities

may play an important role in the professionalization of the teaching profession.

https://www.tandfonline.com/doi/abs/10.1080/00313831.2019.1616611

Professional Development Opportunities


Opportunities for professional development and support from leadership also make a

difference when individuals rate their job satisfaction (Toropova et al., 2021). Mukeredzi et

al. (2015) define the concept of productivity concerning teachers as the "possession of

pedagogies within the wider domain of knowledge, skills, attitudes and competences" (p. 3).

Van der Weijden et al. (2015) add that "mentors play a significant role in the personal and

professional development of academic leaders, as well as on their productivity and

performance" (p. 280).

Induction programs seek to improve job satisfaction rates by providing meaningful

professional development opportunities and providing support to improve working

conditions. “Teachers are expected to love their professions, to have a positive attitude

towards their jobs, to be satisfied with what their professions bring to them, and to have high

self-efficacy beliefs that they can do their jobs” (Kasalak, & Dağyar, 2020, p. 18) yet there is

no standard system for helping teachers feel support and confidence in what they do. The

intention of induction programs is to bridge the gap between expectation and reality.

https://digitalcommons.csp.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?

article=1008&context=teacher-education_masters

Many studies stress the importance of professional development for teachers (O

Davydovskaia, I De Coster, et al.; 2021; Tran, L.T.; Le, T.T.T.; Phan, H.L.T.; Pham, A. 2021)

and investigate several aspects of it, e.g., the design of effective professional development

programs for teachers (Darling-Hammond, L.; Hyler, M.E.; Gardner,2021), the satisfaction of

teachers with professional development programs Avidov-Ungar, O.2016].

However, relatively little research has been performed on the potential impact of both

access to professional development as well as the need for professional development on job
satisfaction of teachers. Most studies relating professional development with job satisfaction

find a positive impact of professional development on job satisfaction (Toropova, A.;

Myrberg, E. et.al.; 2021)However, Nang Sein and Yan (2019)investigated perceptions

towards professional development in a very specific setting (i.e., one school in Myanmar) and

found no significant relationship between teacher job satisfaction and their perceptions

towards professional development.

Professional development activities for teachers may include attending (online or in

person) courses or seminars, reading professional literature, attending education conferences

or workshops, peer and/or self-observation and coaching, participation in a network of

Toropova et al. (2021) revealed teachers that received more professional development

had higher levels of job satisfaction. Gaias et al. (2018) implied the importance of teacher

training and professional development for supporting their job satisfaction, especially for

kindergarten teachers.

https://txate.org/resources/Documents/Forum%202022-%20Final%20-%20Castaneda
%20et%20al..pdf
Reeves et al. (2017) found that teachers' job satisfaction within the school environment

was predicted by the availability of required resources, manageable workplace, and


cooperation among colleagues. Similar results were reported by Sheridan et al. (2019) and

Darling-Hammond et al. (2017) who established that a school environment characterized by

opportunities for professional career development, leadership support, and staff involvement

in decision-making significantly and positively influenced job satisfaction. Blömeke et al.

(2017) also found that leadership support for teachers, professional development through

training and mentorship programs, and feedback positively influenced teachers’ job

satisfaction. Teachers feel satisfied with their job if they perceive that their work environment

provides an opportunity for continuous knowledge acquisition to adapt to the classroom's

dynamic needs (Toropova et al., 2021). Liang et al. (2017) cautioned that a lack of

professional growth programs among kindergarten teachers was the lead factor for teacher

turnover and attrition. Klaeijsen et al. (2018) found that teachers' access to development

programs influence their intentions to quit or remain in the teaching practice. In sum, research

finds that environmental factors such as the availability of professional growth opportunities

for teachers influence job satisfaction (Torres, 2019) retention, and attrition rates.

On Productivity of Beginning Teachers on the Induction Program

Teaching Skills Development

Mirela Albulescu , Ion Albulescu (2019).The quality of teaching is a decisive factor in

facilitating successful learning and academic outcomes in students. Teaching is

also a complex task implying a wide range of comprehensive knowledge and

skillsteachers must ideally master to manage successfully the specific requirements

of teaching in class. The professional development of teachers can be achieved by

enrolling them in activities that are regularly and systematically organized by


competent bodies in the field of education, such as those included in the continuous

vocational training programs. Teachers’ professional development can also be

enhanced through constant self-study efforts, according to the needs of everyone,

or by practising daily teaching activities. Many teaching skills seem to develop

much better once teachers start conducting classes, rather than during the initial

training or by participating in activities that are designed specifically for this

purpose, such as training courses or tutoring. This article aims at presenting the

perception of teachers

who conduct primary school classes, on the context in which they developed the

specific skills and expertise required for the successful unfolding of their teaching

activities in the classroom, and optimal interaction with students.

https://typeset.io/papers/development-of-teachers-teaching-skills-perceptions-on-

the-4frjy7nq78

Effective teaching is the prime duty of a professional teacher. Changes in the teaching

profession are without end due to the nature of the profession, which is ever-changing

timelessly. The teacher is the most significant agent in the teaching-learning process.

Teachers could either make or unmake the future of students. Professional development can

be enhanced through faculty development activities such as instructional planning,

instructional delivery, knowledge of the subject matter, rapport with the students and

classroom management. There is a rise in teaching strategies in the twenty-first century

through teamwork and innovation (Nairz-Wirth & Feldmann, 2019). Improving teacher

quality has become a vital thing to student fulfillment; teacher professionalism gained more

prominence. Nowadays, instructors' continuous professional development is broadly visible

as crucial for enhancing teachers' overall performance and effectiveness and enhancing
dedication to their work. Teachers must always adapt to the current educational system

changes to meet the students' needs and demands for the global market. With the No Filipino

Child Left Behind Act of 2010, all citizens have the right to quality instruction, and that the

State shall take appropriate steps to make that education accessible. Recent reforms focus on

curriculum standardization, which results in teachers become accountable for students'

performance. For developing countries like the Philippines, producing highly skilled and

globally competitive graduates is a great challenge for all educators. The effectiveness of

instruction is dependent on the caliber of teachers. In the book of Stronge (2018) some

researchers define teacher effectiveness as to student achievement. As a teachers' influence is

far-reaching, it is challenging to determine what outcomes might demonstrate the

effectiveness and how to measure results. Furthermore, many external variables affect each

potential measure of effectiveness outside.

https://files.eric.ed.gov/fulltext/EJ1328399.pdf

Student Engagement

The research literature suggests that measuring the productivity of beginning teachers

in terms of student engagement can be challenging. While behaviors such as hand raising

may be considered as evidence of engagement, they do not capture the motivational factors

behind true engagement. The productivity of beginning teachers through student engagement

is an important aspect of education. Research has shown that student engagement is

influenced by various factors such as instructional quality, responsiveness to student needs,

socioemotional climate of the classroom, and student autonomy (Pattie Johnston, Colleen R.

Beaudoin, et. al.; 2015). However, measuring student engagement can be challenging as it

goes beyond simple observations of behaviors like hand raising (Journal Article,2023).

However, measuring student engagement can be challenging as it goes beyond simple


observations of behaviors like hand raising. Teachers' working conditions, including work

arrangement, safety, and potential strategies, also play a significant role in their productivity

(Seonjin Seo, Mary T. Brownell et.al.; 2011). Effective communication, learning strategies,

and emotional engagement are key components of teacher engagement that contribute to their

productivity (Janice Hooper Holt,2011). Induction programs for beginning teachers can

provide support in terms of orientation, mentorship, administrator support, and professional

development, which can impact their engagement and ultimately their productivity (Lesley

Pasquin1, Susan Winn, 2007). Overall, student engagement and teacher working conditions

are important factors in determining the productivity of beginning teachers.

https://typeset.io/search?q=what%20are%20the%20productivity%20of%20beginning

%20teachers%20through%20students%20engagement

Beginning teachers who participate in induction programs show positive impacts on

their productivity. These programs provide comprehensive support, guidance, and training to

help beginning teachers develop their instructional strategies, student engagement, and

classroom management skills.

Classroom Management

(Maria Victoria C. Hermosisima, Jerick C. Ferrer,et.al.;2018) Classroom management

of beginning teachers in the Philippines is a significant concern. Challenges faced by new

teachers in the public school system include handling large classes, student differences, and

classroom management. Support for new teachers mainly comes in the form of training, school-

initiated programs, and support from colleagues. The Department of Education of the Philippines

should consider institutionalizing an Induction Program for new teachers in public schools to

address their unique needs, especially related to large classes.


https://typeset.io/papers/beginning-teacher-induction-practices-in-the-context-of-

2g7h8vy8gf

The first few years in the classroom are a roller-coaster of emotions and

second-guessing. The best kind of mentor “listens with empathy,” (Cait Marie,

2022) and knows how to redirect “worries and emotions positively,”(Alec

Mielke,2022).

Based upon research, beginning teachers are not prepared to manage a classroom as

they enter the profession of education and have a need for practical strategies to assist them in

classroom and behavior management (Larmer et al., 2016). Classroom management is a

concern for teachers of all levels (Huth, 2015).

The First Days of School, a book recommended for beginning teachers, states

“classroom management skills are of primary importance in determining teacher success”

(Wong & Wong, 2018, p. 93). Wong et al. (2018) further established that a teacher’s ability

to manage a classroom effectively creates an environment conducive to student engagement

and productivity.

Regardless of the knowledge of the teacher, classroom management is the “driving

force 2 behind a teacher’s ability to be successful in the classroom” (Lindroos, 2016, p. 6).

Without the intentional establishment of a positive learning environment where students are

focused and engaged there is little likelihood learning will take place, thereby resulting in the

beginning teacher’s lack of success (Lindroos, 2016).

To ensure first-year teachers’ success in meeting the challenge of managing a

classroom, research has indicated the need for practical, hands-on opportunities in preparing
teachers for the classroom (Larmer et al., 2016). Further study of first- and second-year

teachers participating in a teacher induction program found that implementing strategies and

techniques provided through classroom management training helped to “create a more

positive learning environment” (Larmer et al., 2016).

A study by Voss, Wagner, Klusmann, Trautwein, and Kunter, (2017) which took

place in Germany, involved teacher education students who participated in a mandatory

induction program for beginning teachers. As a part of Germany’s formal teacher education

process, students participated in two phases: the first, taking place at university level while

completing degree requirements, and the second, a required 1.5 to 2-year induction program.

During the post graduate induction phase, also referred to as the Referendariat, teacher

education students were appointed to schools where they were assigned to mentor teachers in

a type of internship/student teaching capacity (Voss et al., 2017). The focus of the

investigation (Voss et al., 2017) centered on two outcomes: classroom management

knowledge as a cognitive outcome and emotional exhaustion as an emotional outcome.

Methodology employed within the study (Voss et al., 2017) included an analysis of data from

previous research tracking two different cohorts, measuring them at the beginning and end of

the first year of teaching. Cohort 1’s first point of evaluation was at the beginning of the first

26 year of teaching, with the second point of evaluation at the end of the first year of

teaching. Cohort 2’s first point of evaluation was at the beginning of the second year of

teaching, while in the induction phase, and the second point of evaluation was at the end of

the second year of teaching, their completion of the induction phase. The sample involved

746 teacher candidates. Teachers participating within the study observed five brief video

sessions, designed by the researchers (Voss et al., 2017) that were related to significant

classroom management settings. Following each video session, the participants completed

question surveys related to the video content. The answers were coded using a coding scheme
judging answers as “right or wrong” (Voss et al., 2017, p. 174).Classroom management

knowledge was evaluated using a standardized testing instrument, enabling the researchers to

gather a true measure of the teachers’ understanding of classroom management, rather than

relying on teachers’ self-reporting expertise (Voss et al., 2017). Voss et al. (2017) presented

evidence that, although the first years of teaching were tremendously challenging for

teachers, there was a significant increase in classroom management knowledge during the

teacher induction phase. Contrary to Voss et al.’s (2017) expectations, none of the variables

included within the study substantially contributed to the change in classroom management

knowledge. Voss et al. (2017) asserted that a significant strength of the study was the large

sample involving two cohorts which were evaluated twice throughout the German induction

phase. This enabled the researchers to explore actual changes in their understanding of

classroom management while participating in the teaching induction phase. All teachers

involved in the study had at least one class of mathematics, a requirement in Germany and,

thereby, limited the generalizability of the results (Voss et al., 2017). Voss et al. (2017), in 27

the concluding statements, emphasized that, theoretically, teacher induction programs do

promote the growth of beginning teachers’ understanding of classroom management.

Negative behaviors disrupt instruction and prevent learning; therefore, possessing

necessary skills to defuse problematic behaviors is critical for the classroom teacher. Leslie

Ellis (2018) contended “how a teacher perceives his or her classroom management plays a

large role in effective teaching, learning, and student behavior” (p. 38). Ellis’ (2018) focused

upon teacher turnover, with student behavior issues, or classroom management, indicated as

one of the main reasons new teachers leave the profession after the first year of teaching.

Ellis, in a qualitative case study conducted in 2018, explored ten teachers’ perceptions of

their own classroom management, perceptions of school administration’s classroom

management, and finally, to determine professional development strategies that would


strengthen management skills within the classroom. Emergent themes included classroom

management strategies, clear expectations, and professional development. As a result of the

study, professional development sessions were conducted to reinforce positive classroom

management and organizational strategies (Ellis, 2018).

https://firescholars.seu.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1053&context=coe

Beginning teachers with the support of an induction program are more able to

maintain a positive classroom atmosphere. This leads the teacher to a feeling of success and

higher sense of self-efficacy, in turn creating greater job satisfaction (Shuls & Flores, 2020).

Students benefit from these relationships because through them, new teachers gain classroom

management and instructional skills, and have the opportunity to develop problem-solving

skills through the guidance of a mentor.

Classroom management of beginning teachers in the Philippines is a significant concern.

Challenges faced by new teachers in the public school system include handling large classes,

student differences, and classroom management [1]. Support for new teachers mainly comes in the

form of training, school-initiated programs, and support from colleagues [2]. The Department of

Education of the Philippines should consider institutionalizing an Induction Program for new
[3]
teachers in public schools to address their unique needs, especially related to large classes .A

study on classroom management approaches of STE science teachers in Region 1, Philippines,


[4]
revealed that most teachers employ a student-centered approach . The demographic profile of

teachers, including sex, age, position, and length of service, did not significantly influence their

classroom management approach [5]. There is a gap between theory and practice in the classroom

management of beginning teachers, and a multi-modal platform of 'case-stories' has been

developed to bridge this gap .

Related Studies
On Induction Program for Teachers

Anne McGeehan (2919) conducted a study A Study of New Teachers' Perceptions of

Their Induction Programs in The results of this study showed new teachers regard elements

of induction programs as important factors in their success as new teachers. Being assigned a

mentor early in their teaching career, being able to collaborate with other teachers, and

having relevant professional development all played a vital role in their decision-making

process to remain in the teaching profession.

Marlyn G. Araneta, EdD(2017) conducted a study in Esperanza, Sultan Kudarat,

Region XII, Philippines This study assessed the induction program for beginning and

experienced teachers in Sultan Kudarat Division, Region XII, Philippines. Findings served as

bases for a proposed district-based teacher re-orientation program in the district and division

levels. This study used descriptive-evaluative research design utilizing quantitative approach,

supported by qualitative data. Weighted mean was used to determine the extent of

implementation of teacher induction program (TIP) and the extent of addressing the current

needs of teachers. The TIP was very well practiced and implemented for newly-hired teachers

of both the beginner and experienced teachers. The coverage of the program on professional

ethics, vision, mission, goals and objectives and welfare and benefits were rated very well

practiced. The needs were addressed during the TIP for the beginning and experienced

teachers based on the NCBTS Domain. Professional growth and professional development,

social regards for learning, learning environment, curriculum, community linkages and

diversity of learners are the domain of NCBTS which were rated as very well practiced. Lack

of support from the school in terms of financial aspect, attitude and lack of commitment and

inadequacy of instructional materials and facilities were the problems encountered in the

implementation of TIP. The teacher induction program was regularly implemented to the

newly-hired teachers to help them understand and develop the knowledge on the vision,
mission, goals and objectives, administrative discipline, welfare and benefits and professional

ethics. The implementation of TIP for the newly-hired teachers help them to determine their

roles and responsibilities that govern in the teaching profession through the inclusion of the

NCBTS that provides general and specific understanding on the concepts of teaching and

learning process.

A Study of New Teachers' Perceptions of Their Induction Programs, conducted by Anne

McGeehan (2019).New teachers reported common aspects to their induction program, such

as training length and mentor-teacher collaboration. New teachers also identified elements

within their program that supported their “newness” as a teacher such as common planning

time, the ability to watch other teachers, and the support of their administrator. The perceived

components of new teacher induction programs and the decision-making process to remain a

teacher were addressed in questions throughout the survey. The majority of 68 the

participants (21; 53.84%) indicated that their induction program aided in the decision to

remain a teacher.

According to Fatma ÇOBANOĞLU & Zeynep Ayvaz-Tuncel (2018) conducted a

study Teacher Induction Program: First Experience in Turkey. The researcher aims to

determine the views of 357 beginning teachers on the goal achievement of the teacher

induction program. A questionnaire form was developed to collect the data consisting of 43

questions one of which is an open-ended question. Results suggested that pre-service


education and teacher induction program have similar contributions in regard to the goal

achievement of the teacher induction program. Moreover, considering the process as a whole,

the mentor has an important role in the development of beginning teachers.

Meluso Moses Mamba (202) conducted a study Views on Induction Programs for

Beginning Teachers and revealed that beginning teachers are not adequately supported they

were not inducted most of the schools involved in this study. Schools do not have a clear

direction or how the induction process should be implemented; they do not have any

documentation or induction that can act as a guideline for the inductors. Through this

investigative study, the researcher learnt that beginning teachers are concerned with, and

frustrated about the challenges that they face in schools, especially the challenge of classroom

management.

Most of the sample principals do not monitor the progress of beginning teachers and

there is no accountability HODs who act as inductors of beginning teachers. Despite the

responses of senior teachers to the role of induction and its relationship with successful

teaching, they do not engage fully in induction programs; they do not priorities the induction

of new teachers and hide behind their busy schedules.

Shorena Dolaberidze(2021) study and examined the r perceptions of the outcomes of

engaging in induction programs and the impact of teacher inductions programs on their

teaching practice. The study participants were K-12 public school teachers who had

completed one to three years of teaching with at least half academic year of teacher induction

experience in select Minnesota public schools. While it is highly recommended that

Minnesota public school districts implement teacher induction programs, studies examining
the range and the perception of the quality of the implementation of the program components

are very limited. Thus, the findings derived from the results of the study may provide data to

education leaders on whether their school districts’ induction programs are consistent with

best practices found in the literature review. In addition, 3 the study may also provide

guidance to school district leadership to support beginning teachers through the

implementation of quality induction programs.

On Satisfaction of Beginning Teachers

Catherine Teresa Linhardt(2022) conducted a study in university of Northern Colorado, In

the area of job satisfaction, the teachers who completed the survey were generally satisfied

with their teaching experiences. Their overall satisfaction rating averaged 3.3818 with a

standard deviation of 0.7559. Considering all questions in the category of satisfaction,

teachers responded with somewhat satisfied 32.62% and very satisfied 48.99%. Combined

ratings of somewhat satisfied and very satisfied occurred 81.45%. Meaning, teachers fell

between 34 somewhat satisfied and very satisfied and the overall ratings ranged within one

point of the average. When asked specifically about their induction program and level of

satisfaction, teachers were also on average satisfied with the program with a rating of 3.6897

and a standard deviation of 0.5414. The three lowest rated areas were workload (2.76),

student discipline and behavior (2.93), and opportunities for professional development (3.1).

R. J. Nico Botha*1 & Jean-Pierre Hugo (2021) studied and explores the impact of an

effective mentoring program at primary schools in the province of Mpumalanga, South

Africa to support and improve job satisfaction among beginner teachers entering the
profession. This study follows a quantitative approach, consisting of a Likert-scale

questionnaire. The sample of the study was a number of 550 teachers (principals, deputy

principals, heads of department, teachers and student teachers) from different races and

cultures from 50 randomly selected state and private primary schools in Mpumalanga. After

comparing the literature with the respondents' data, the researchers found that the

development and implementation of a mentoring program in the province of Mpumalanga

would positively impacts beginner teachers' job satisfaction, thus indicating a definite need

for such a mentoring program.

(Rachel Renbarger and Brenda K. Davis 2019) conducted a study Mentors, Self-

efficacy, or Professional Development: Which Mediate Job Satisfaction for New Teachers? A

Regression Examination. Researchers has shown that new teachers have struggles in the

classroom, leading to high attrition rates for this population. Factors such as job satisfaction,

self-efficacy, and mentorship programs have all been found to impact teacher attrition. This

study aims to examine the relationship between these variables along with another common

issue teachers face: barriers to professional development (i.e., cost, time). This study utilized

the Teaching and Learning International Survey of beginning teachers in the United States.

Using multiple regression, results indicated there was a positive relationship between job

satisfaction and self-efficacy and the presence of a mentor. There was a negative relationship

between barriers to professional development and job satisfaction. Limitations, implications,

Perceptions of New Teacher Mentoring in a Suburban Mississippi School District. The

research study revealed the importance of establishing an effective mentoring program

designed to meet teachers’ individualized needs, in order to improve new teacher retention

rates. Each participant in the current study had varying experiences based on their

background, grade level taught, and support provided within their school building. As a

result, the mentoring program implemented in the suburban Mississippi School District did

not meet teachers’ individualized needs, since each teacher was provided with the same

support. A mentoring program designed to meet teachers’ specific needs is the most effective

method to decrease new teacher attrition rates.

Mike Smet (2021) conducted a study Professional Development and Teacher Job

Satisfaction: Evidence from a Multilevel Model in Antwerp, Belgium. The researcher’s main

goal is to disentangle the interactions between need for and participation in professional

development activities, allowing more detailed and precise analyses that may lead to a better

substantiated understanding of the mechanisms at work. We use data from the 2018 wave of

the OECD’s Teaching and Learning International Survey (TALIS). The hierarchical data

structure of teachers nested in schools, nested in regions requires the use of appropriate

estimation techniques: multilevel or hierarchical linear modelling (HLM). The researcher find

out a significant positive relationship between job satisfaction and need for professional

development for teaching diversity and special needs, which is (negatively) moderated by the

number of professional development activities a teacher had participated in. Another

indicator, measuring the need for professional development in subject matter and pedagogy,

shows a significant negative relationship with job satisfaction and is (positively) moderated

by the amount of professional development.


Ruth Chung Wei, Linda Darling-Hammond (2019) conducted a study Professional

Learning in the Learning Profession A Status Report on Teacher Development in United

States almost all U.S. teachers reported participating in workshops, conferences, or other

training sessions (92%) over the previous 12 months, a slight decline from the levels of

participation (95%). Fewer teachers participated in other forms of formal professional

development, including university courses related to teaching (36%) and observational visits

to other schools (22%). About one quarter (25%) of teachers had served as a presenter in a

workshop, conference, or training session. Among these types of professional development,

there was a sharp drop from proportion of teachers who had the opportunity to observe

classes in other schools — from 34% to 22%, while other forms of learning remained

relatively stable. While the researchers saw that many teachers had some opportunity to study

content in the area(s) they teach — the number one area for more professional development

— few had participated in professional development regarding classroom management — the

second most commonly cited top priority for more learning. This suggests that lower

participation rates may not be a result of teachers’ lack of interest, but perhaps a lack of

opportunity in this area. Participation rates ranged from 29% in Maine to 57% in Oklahoma.

Furthermore, only 27% of all surveyed teachers rated the professional development they

received in this area as “useful” or “very useful.” Taken together,

Alethea Andree, Nikole Richardson, et.al.; (2019) also conducted a survey stated that

the researchers don’t have fine-grained national data on these practices, the SASS Teacher

Questionnaires asked teachers whether in the last 12 months they have engaged in individual

or collaborative research on a topic of professional interest, participated in regularly

scheduled collaboration with other teachers on issues of instruction (excluding administrative

meetings), participated in peer observations, or participated in a mentor/coaching program

either as a mentor/coach or as a recipient of mentoring/coaching.


About 70% of teachers reported participating in “regularly scheduled collaboration

with other teachers on issues of instruction,” a slight decline from the 74%. Unfortunately,

the survey does not specify what “regularly scheduled” means in terms of frequency, or

duration, the researchers do not know whether teachers may be meeting for a couple of hours

a month or for 10 hours a week as those in other nations frequently do. There was also a drop

in the proportion of teachers engaged in individual or collaborative envifonment, from 47%

to about 40% over this time period. More, however, were involved in mentoring and

coaching (46%), or peer observations (63%).

Anthony Sydney Mpisi, Nerissa Zoutendijk (2019) examined and discussed the

assumptions and ratiocinations underlying the teacher professional development movement

and the opposing views that exist in this regard, and conclude with the argument that the

social context provides the basis and is therefore the sine qua non of TPD, and also argue that

the school-based, mentor-assisted collaboration of teachers can lay the groundwork for an

effective program.

On Productivity of Beginning Teacher

(Jerick Ferrer et.al.; 2018) conducted a study Beginning Teacher Induction Practices in the

Context of Large Classes in Philippine Normal university Most of the challenges faced by

new teachers are connected to the in inherent weaknesses of the public school system; lack of

and congested classrooms; and not enough textbooks, instructional materials, and equipment.

The challenges experienced by new teachers in the public school, specifically in dealing with

student differences, are related to their being new to the public education system and to the

urban setting. This study looked into the support given to new teachers of three schools from

three Divisions of National Capital Region, that topped the National Achievement Test for

2013 and 2014. Data were gathered through the use of two validated sets of semi-structured
interview guide. Results showed that handling large classes, student differences, and

classroom management were the greatest challenges experienced by the new teachers.

Training, school-initiated programs, and support from colleagues were mainly the form of

support given. The study recommended that the Department of Education of the Philippines

should consider the institutionalization of Induction Program for new teachers in the public

schools, specifically addressing the unique needs, especially those related to large classes, of

beginning teachers who have no experience in the professional teaching and transferees from

private schools and the provinces.

Anthony Sydney Mpisi, Nerissa Zoutendijk (2022) conducted a qualitative study to

ascertain the perception of beginner teachers in public primary schools in the Ugu district of

KwaZulu-Natal, South Africa, on mentorship programs.The study revealed that beginner

teachers experienced challenges with administration, classroom management and adjusting to

the school environment. The findings further revealed that existing informal mentorship

programs failed to adequately address these challenges and meet beginner teachers’

professional needs. The researchers, however, argue that formal and well-designed

mentorship programs potentially could address the challenges beginner teachers encounter.

Sohail Imran Khan (2019) investigated the impact of staff training and development on

the productivity and performance of beginning teachers in classroom teaching and

administrative work. The study found a positive and strong relationship between staff training

and development and teachers' productivity in Kurdistan. The research concluded that there is

a positive correlation between productivity and independent factors such as skills, expertise,

morale, enhancement, potential, job knowledge, and proficiency. Technical/technology


training was identified as the most suitable training program for teachers in the region. The

study had a response rate of 90.62% with 58 out of 64 questionnaires being completed.

Beginning teachers are encouraged to focus on developing the skills required to engage

with different disciplinary approaches in the religious education (RE) classroom.

Collaborative action research (CAR) is suggested as the best approach to professional

development for beginning teachers, as it allows for the addressing of specific issues within a

supportive network. A three-year study on beginning teachers in Singapore showed that their

pedagogical knowledge and skills increased significantly in lesson planning, classroom

management, and instructional strategies. A training program focused on the development of

career management competencies for beginning teachers has been proposed and validated,

showing progress in developing certain capacities and skills for career management.

Samed Yasin Öztürk (2020) study and investigated the engagement of 60 first-year

student teachers in autonomous outside-the-classroom learning activities in University of

Turkey. The results revealed that the student teachers engage in some outside-the-classroom

learning activities, but not all activities that contribute to becoming a self-regulated and

autonomous learner. The study found that out of 22 activities, only 10 were widely engaged

in by the student teachers. The student teachers in the study are mostly engaged in

autonomous learning activities related to technology and the internet.

Fariha Sohil, Muhammad Umair Sohail,(2023) study and investigated key components of

classroom management by pre-service teachers during lesson plan practical. Key components of

classroom management during lesson plan practical include making lesson plans, classroom

management planning, discipline, enforcing rules, proactive classroom, and using verbal and
nonverbal communication. These components impact both pre-service teachers' and students'

performance during teaching practicum. The study recommends that pre-service teachers should be

given access to in-service training, conferences, and events to familiarize themselves with important

classroom management techniques. Excellent classroom management is crucial for both the academic

success of students and the process of teaching and learning. Teachers need to be familiar with the

abilities needed for efficient classroom management.

Theoretical Framework
This study is based on the premise that individuals enter into and remain part of

relationships in order to meet certain needs, for as long as the parties continue to benefit. Zey

extended this model by adding that the organization as a whole (in this case the school) that

contains the mentor and mentee also benefits from the interaction.

Moreover, teacher induction can refer to a variety of different types of activities for new teachers-

orientation sessions, faculty collaborative periods, meetings with supervisors, developmental

workshops, extra classroom assistance, reduced workloads, and, especially, mentoring.

Mentoring is the personal guidance provided, usually by seasoned veterans, to beginning teachers

in schools. In recent decades, teacher mentoring programs have become a dominant form of

teacher induction (Fideler & Haselkorn, 1999; Strong, 2009; Britton, Paine, Raizen, & Pimm,

2003; Hobson Ashby, Malderez, & Tomlinson, 2009, cited in Ingersoll, & Strong, 2011) indeed;

the two terms are often used interchangeably.

According to the Zey’s teacher development theory, it can be concluded that there is an

impact of the teacher’s preparation and induction on the teachers’ practice and students’

achievement.

According to the Zey’s teacher development theory, it can be concluded that there is an impact

of the teacher’s preparation and induction on the teachers’ practice and students’ achievement.

High-quality professional development, particularly in the form of mentoring or induction,

may be key to increasing the likelihood that teachers will remain in the profession (TALIS,

2013). Although many studies argue for the importance of mentoring, evidence on the direct

impact of mentoring is limited and inconclusive. A few studies suggest that mentoring

appears to affect teachers‟ classroom management skills, as well as their ability to manage

their time and workloads (Evertson & Smithey, 2000, cited in TALIS, 2013).

In addition, many researches’ show that the influence teachers experience on their

professional development strongly depends on the characteristics of the induction program,


indicating that induction programs can contribute greatly to beginning teachers’ professional

development, but often fail to do so because the programs lack essential characteristics.

Various elements of induction programs appeared to be important, some of which have been

implemented successfully in most induction programs. Important points of improvement are

the organization of the induction program and the types of facilities that are offered; the

capacity of mentors to challenge beginning teachers in their professional development; and

the degree to which attention is paid to topics related to professional development, mainly

pedagogy (Kessels, et al, 2010).

Conceptual Framework

This study seeks to determine the level of Satisfaction and Productivity of Beginning

Teachers on the Induction Program in Guimba, Nueva Ecija, an Input-Process-

Output model of framework will be used in this study. Thus, an illustration is

presented to show how problems of this study will be answered. Figure 1 illustrates

that there are three (3) research problems in the study. Research problem in the

study, namely: (1) the profile of the teachers;(2) the level of satisfaction of the

beginning teachers’ respondents to the induction program; and lastly, (3) the level of

productivity of the beginning teachers respondents to the induction programs. The

results to these problems will be used to come-up with proposed enhancement

programs will be benefited to the improvement of the Satisfaction and Productivity of

Beginning Teachers on the Induction Programs. To gather the results of this study,

the researcher will use survey questionnaire as the study’s research instrument.

The independent variables in this study is the Satisfaction and Productivity of

Beginning Teachers on the Induction Programs while the dependent variables is the
Profile of the teacher-respondents. In this study, the profile will be determined along

with the relevant profile variables of the teachers. It ranges from basic demographic

profile of the teachers. The researcher believes that each profile help illustrating the

current status of the research environment as well as the respondents in light of

answering the remaining research problems. Additionally, the Satisfaction and

Productivity Of Beginning Teachers On The Induction Programs will be determined

through a 5-point Likert-Scale.

The level of satisfaction and productivity of beginning teachers on the

induction programs will be determined through the teachers’ answers in the survey

questionnaire. After which, the relationship between independent variable(level of

satisfaction and productivity of beginning teachers) and the dependent variable

(profile of the teachers) will be tested. Finally, after describing the results, an

enhancement program will be proposed as an output of this study.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

This chapter presents the research design, the respondents of the study,

sampling scheme, the instruments, data gathering procedure, and statistical

treatment of the study.

Research Design
This study is descriptive-correlational research that seeks to determine the level of

satisfaction and productivity of beginning teachers on the induction programs in

Guimba, Nueva Ecija, Dudovskiy (n.d.) defines Descriptive Research as “a statement

of affairs as they are at present with the researcher having no control over variable”

(para. 1). Moreover, descriptive research “may be characterized[sic] as simply the

attempt to determine, describe or identify what is, while analytical research attempts

to establish why it is that way or how it came to be” (Ethridge, 2004, p.24, as cited

by Dudovskiy, n.d.). As the descriptive research seeks to describe the situation and

how the variables are naturally distributed, the results provide the researcher the

data to illustrate the basic relationships in order to have a better understanding of

the questions asked (Thyer, 2009)

Mitchell and Jolley (2010) commented that while just like any other research

design, descriptive research also aims to test a hypothesis and answer questions, it

is not capable of testing cause and effect relationships and answering “whys”;

instead, it answers what, who, when, and where questions. But then, descriptive

research is not only simply amassing and tabulating facts, but it also includes proper

analyses, interpretation, comparisons, and identification of trends and relationships.

Thus, descriptive research provides the whole picture of the characteristics of the

variables being studied in the natural setting which allows the researchers analyze

the variables to the fullest.

McCombes (2019), Descriptive Research focuses to accurately and systematically

describe population, situation or phenomenon. In addition, McCombes (2019) stated that a

descriptive research design can be use a wide variety of quantitative and qualitative methods

to investigate one or more variables. Descriptive research is often used as a pre-cursor to


quantitative research designs, the general overview giving some valuable pointers as to what

variables are worth testing quantitatively.

On the other hand, Qualitative research is a type of research that explores and

provides deeper insights into real-world problems. (Moser A, Korstjens I et.al., 2017) Instead

of collecting numerical data points or intervene or introduce treatments just like in

quantitative research, qualitative research helps generate hypotheses as well as further

investigate and understand quantitative data. Qualitative research gathers participants'

experiences, perceptions, and behavior. It answers the hows and whys instead of how many

or how much. It could be structured as a stand-alone study, purely relying on qualitative data

or it could be part of mixed-methods research that combines qualitative and quantitative data.

This review introduces the readers to some basic concepts, definitions, terminology, and

application of qualitative research.

Qualitative research at its core, ask open-ended questions whose answers are not easily put into

numbers such as ‘how’ and ‘why’. Cleland JA (2017) One of the strengths of qualitative research is its

ability to explain processes and patterns of human behavior that can be difficult to

quantify. Phenomena such as experiences, attitudes, and behaviors can be difficult to accurately

capture quantitatively, whereas. Foley G, Timonen V. (2015) a qualitative approach allows

participants themselves to explain how, why, or what they were thinking, feeling, and experiencing at

a certain time or during an event of interest. Quantifying qualitative data certainly is possible, but at

its core, qualitative data is looking for themes and patterns that can be difficult to quantify and it is

important to ensure that the context and narrative of qualitative work are not lost by trying to

quantify something that is not meant to be quantified.

With this, this study seeks to describe the satisfaction and productivity of beginning

teachers on the induction programs in Guimba, Nueva Ecija by answering the specific

research problems that will provide the specific details on the whole picture of the

research problem as well as determine whether the variables in the study have

significant relationship. A descriptive-quantitative research design was selected as

the research design of this study because it will allow the researcher to illustrate the

variables and test whether there is a significant relationship between the dependent

and independent variable and analyze the current status of Satisfaction and

Productivity of Beginning Teachers on the Induction Program.

Sampling Scheme

The study will utilize the Simple Random Sampling Technique as its sampling

scheme. Easton and McColl (n.d.) defines simple random sampling as a probability

sampling technique that selects the samples from the population entirely by chance;

they further added that each individual has equal chance of being selected as a

sample in this sampling technique. In this study, the researcher will send the

electronic format and written survey of the questionnaire to the target population

and the randomly selected samples will answer the questionnaires through Google

Forms and distributed in person.

Data Gathering Instrument

The instrument utilized in this study is adopted from the previous studies

conducted by Zimmerman and Kulikowich (2016) and Al-Maroof and Al-Meran

(2018). The researcher will ask permission from the authors to use the selected
items from their instruments for the study. The developed instrument was composed

of two parts:

The first section collects the respondents' demographic profile regarding age,

gender. highest educational attainment, position/rank, and length of teaching experience prior

to the induction program. Likewise, the second section included ___ five-point Likert-

type items with a response scale from 5 (strongly agree) to 1 (strongly disagree).

The underlying structure of the questionnaire composed of seven factors

representing learners’ perceived self-efficacy, multimedia instruction, interactivity of

the Portal, learners’ perceived satisfaction, perceived ease of use and perceived

usefulness of the Portal, and learners’ behavioral intention to use the Portal. The

instrument was content-validated by experts in educational technology, research and

statistics, and measurement and evaluation.

Part I of the instrument that will focus on the profile of the beginning teachers

in public elementary school teachers in Guimba,, Nueva Ecija in terms of their age,

gender. highest educational attainment, position/rank, and length of teaching experience prior

to the induction program.

Part II of the instrument is the underlying structure of the questionnaire

composed of seven factors representing learners’ perceived self - efficacy,

multimedia instruction, interactivity of the Portal, learners’ perceived satisfaction,

perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the Portal, andteachers’’

behavioral intention to use the learning management systems.

Data Gathering Procedure


The descriptive survey via an online survey encoded in a web-based program

and distributed in person will be employed to answer the problems of the study. The

online survey questionnaire will be used for data gathering which was built on the

propositions of Davis (1989) and Liaw (2008) will reflect the Behavioral Intentions to

use Learning Management Systems (LMSs) and Satisfaction of Public Elementary

School Teachers’ in the New Normal. The survey link will be sent to the target

sample via private and group messages posted on their Google Meet.

The questionnaires included twenty- four (24) point Likert-type items with a

response scale from 5 (strongly agree) to 1(strongly disagree) and an additional

section inquiring the participants’ demographical characteristics. The underlying

structure of the questionnaire composed of seven factors representing teachers’

perceived self efficacy, multimedia instruction, interactivity of the portal, teachers’

perceived satisfaction, perceived ease of use and perceived usefulness of the Portal,

and teachers’ behavioral intention to use the Portal. Items placed in each subscale

are presented in Table 1.

The researcher will be obtained permission from the Schools Division

Superintendent, District Supervisor and to the Principals of every school to

administer the questionnaires in order to gather the data needed in the study.

The established questionnaire-checklist will be shown to the Adviser, Critic

Reader and the panel members for comments and suggestions as bases in

improving the final draft of the instrument. After the questionnaire will be simplified,

improved and refined, the questionnaire will be subjected to content validation by five

experts in the field of management and school administration. The experts will

ascertain the content validity of the instrument.


The questionnaire will be distributed and explain to the respondents. Likewise,

the retrieval of the online questionnaires will be done after a week. Tabulation and

tallying will start right after the retrieval.

Statistical Treatment of Data

The data that will be gathered and will be consolidated and analyzed. It will be

tallied, tabulated and analyzed according to the problems of the study. In determining

the profile of respondents, the frequency counts and percentages will be used as the

main statistical tool.

Further, to determine the behavioral intentions to use learning manangement

systems (LMSs) and satisfaction of public elementary teachers in the new normal

along with the broad areas of gathered information about the online learning

perceived usefulness (PU), perceived ease of use (PEOU), and Behavioral

intentions to use (BIU) learning management system without manipulating these

variables.

The following scale will be adopted:

Numerical Mean Scale Range Descriptive Rating


Values

5 4.51 – 5.00 Very Much Implemented

4 3.51 – 4.50 Much Implemented

3 2.51 – 3.50 Moderately Implemented

2 1.51– 2.50 Slightly Implemented

1 1.00 – 1.50 Not Implemented

Likewise, to identify the satisfaction by the teachers along selff-efficacy, multi-

media instruction, and interactivity frequency count and Average Weighted Mean

(AWM) will also be utilized.


The following scale will be adopted:

Numerical Mean Scale Range Descriptive Rating


Values

5 4.51 – 5.00 Very Highly Attained

4 3.51 – 4.50 Highly Attained

3 2.51 – 3.50 Moderately Attained

2 1.51– 2.50 Slightly Attained

1 1.00 – 1.50 Not Attained

For the descriptive analysis on the significant relationship between the profile

of public elementary school teachers and their assessments on the Behavioral

Intentions to use Learning Management Systems(LMSs) Spearman rho and chi-

square will be used.

To identify the significant relationship between the profile of elementary school

teachers and their assessment on the extent of teacher’s personal and professional

development, Spearman rho and chi-square will be used.

Lastly, to determine the significant relationship between the behavioral

intentions and satisfaction of public elementary school teachers’ Pearson correlation

coefficients and linear regression analyses will be performed.
