ABSTRACT

The teacher’s knowledge of research and statistics played a significant role in handling research subjects in the curriculum. Mastery of basic statistics and research content, as well as its pedagogy, is required for school teachers to effectively teach the topic. The study aimed to determine the knowledge of 21st-century in-service teachers teaching statistics and research subjects in government schools. This study was conducted on the teachers handling the K-12 curriculum, specifically the Grades 11 and 12 teachers, for the school year 2021–2022, in the selected barangays of the Municipality of Katipunan, Zamboanga del Norte. The descriptive survey method was used with the aid of the questionnaire and purposive sampling. The result revealed that government teachers lacked knowledge of statistics and statistical software but were knowledgeable in research. It is recommended that the government continue its professional development program to bring teachers up to standards to provide an applicable and determinable impact of the teacher’s professional ability on the students’ learning as well as the realization of their professional commitment.
