ABSTRACT

The study employed the descriptive-correlational method of research to determine the level of teaching competence and performance of grade seven high school students in sports class, Physical Education in Baybay National High School, Baybay City, Leyte for school year 2021- 2022. The findings enabled the researcher to come up with the enhancement on physical education teaching plan in sports as output based on the findings of this research. A validated researchermade instrument will be used to gather the needed information relevant in the conduct of this research.The researcher considered a purposive sampling for all teachers teaching Sports-Physical Education particularly sports class and grade seven students under sports class. There were 31 grade seven high school students participated in the research. The researcher-made evaluation sheet was made available to the research participants and was derived for computation. The class record of the teachers was used as secondary data where students’ grades in paper pencil test and execution or practical exam was utilized. The teaching competence of the physical education teachers was very satisfactory in four areas: instruction; evidence of students’ learning; management and organization; and movements and execution. The students’ performance in written test was moderately satisfactory while very satisfactory in sports’ execution. The teaching competence of the physical education teachers has significant bearing on the students’ performance in both theory and application. There is also a moderate significant correlation between students’ performance in theory and execution. This implies an idea that the two variables are dependent with each other. The student’s very good performance in execution means they are also very good in written test. Knowledge on theory and skills in application are two dependent variables.
