A Multi-Dimensional Analysis of Educational Practices: Assessing Quality Across Three Key Areas
Abstract
This study assessed the quality of three dimensions of educational practices as perceived by thirty teachers at Jose Panganiban National High School. Utilizing a descriptive survey evaluation design, the study employed purposive random sampling to select participants. Quantitative methods were used to describe, record, analyze, and interpret existing practices. The "Orientation to Excellence" standardized survey questionnaire quantified the quality of these dimensions. Data were statistically analyzed using means and one-sample tests and interpreted using a 6-point Likert scale. The findings revealed that teachers rated the quality of educational practices in Student Discipline and Behavior, Instructional Staff, and Parent/Community Involvement as high. Additionally, there was a statistically significant difference among these three areas of educational practices. Based on these results, it is recommended that the school consider all aspects of educational practices when developing a School Improvement Plan. Furthermore, educators are encouraged to develop plans that enhance student learning for future studies.
