ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to determine the level of Competencies of Alternative Learning System (ALS) Implementers on Learners’ Achievement, as evidenced by the 2016 Accreditation and Equivalency Test in the Division of Bulacan. The competencies of ALS implementers measured in this study are: Knowledge of the Learners, Assessment of Learning, ALS Curriculum, Teaching-Learning Process and Managing of Learning Environment. The researcher used the descriptive-correlational survey method. 193 test passers of Cluster II served as the respondents who answered the researcher-made survey questionnaire and weighted mean was employed as statistical tool. Overall, the researcher found out that the relationship between teaching competencies and students’ achievement is null hypothesis when grouped according to 5 mentioned teaching competencies were accepted. The findings of the study presented that the ALS implementers were equipped with the 5 Teaching Competencies: Knowledge of the Learners, Teaching-Learning process, Assessment of Learning, ALS Curriculum and Managing of Learning Environment hence, as evidenced by the result of the 2016 ALS A&E Test, there were large number of test passers but with very low performance in different learning strands therefore, the learners assessed that there is no significant relationship between teaching competencies and learners’ achievement as evidenced of the 2016 ALS A&E Test. The future researchers served this study as replicate and/or reference for future studies that can help in the implementation of the Alternative Learning System Program of theDepartment of Education.
