Abstract

This study was conducted to establish the relationship of adaptive performance and teaching competence of the out-of-field English teachers teaching in schools operated by Teresian Daughters of Mary (TDM) in Davao City. To find answers to the aforementioned aims, the researcher employed the descriptive-correlational method of research. Using an adapted survey questionnaire, the researcher conducted a survey to the senior high school students of TDM-operated schools. The statistical tools used in interpreting the data were weighted mean, Pearson r and the multiple linear regression using the stepwise method. The findings of the study revealed that the overall mean score for adaptive performance of the out-of-field English teachers is good. Likewise, the overall mean score for the teaching competence of out-of-field English teachers is good. Furthermore, it was found that there is a significant relationship between the adaptive performance and teaching competence of out-of-field English teachers teaching in TDM-operated schools. This finding, thus, allowed the researcher to reject the null hypothesis. Moreover, the multiple linear regression using the stepwise method revealed that the adaptive performance indicators including demonstrating interpersonal adaptability, demonstrating physically-oriented adaptability, handling emergencies on crisis, demonstrating cultural adaptability and handling work stress significantly influence the teaching competence of the teachers. Hence, these should be strengthened.
