ABSTRACT

— This study determined the extent of mentoring and coaching practices of master teachers in the Schools Division of Pangasinan II, S.Y. 2022-2023. A total of four hundred ninetythree (493) Master Teachers within the 4th, fifth, and sixth congressional districts of Division of Pangasinan II comprised the respondents of this study. The checklist questionnaire used to gather the data was carefully crafted by an experienced researcher and thoroughly reviewed by experts in the field. Results revealed that the majority of the respondent master teachers are in the middle adulthood stage, female, married, graduated with a Master’s Degree, experienced master teachers, and equipped with relevant training. In addition, the master teachers surveyed showed a high level of engagement in mentoring and coaching practices. Further, the extent of mentoring and coaching practices of the respondent master teachers differs along sex and number of relevant training attended. Furthermore, the respondent master teachers’ extent of mentoring and coaching practices is associated with the number of pertinent training followed at the district, division, and national levels. Experienced teachers can improve their teaching skills and expertise by attending district, division, and national seminars and training sessions. It is advisable to engage in this practice to improve one’s abilities as a teacher. Such relevant training opportunities are essential in improving their mentoring and coaching practices. Therefore, taking the initiative to attend these events can significantly benefit master teachers’ professional development. Finally, it would be beneficial to conduct additional research on the mentoring and coaching practices of master teachers in the broader context.
