— This study investigated the extent of instructional management practices (IMP) among 101 randomly selected Master Teachers (MTs) from elementary schools in the 6th Congressional District, DepEd Pangasinan Division II. It employed a descriptive-correlational research design, using a validated survey questionnaire checklist as the primary data collection tool. Responses were processed using Excel and SPSS version 21. Statistical tools included frequency counts, percentages, weighted means (WM), overall weighted mean (OWM), and grand overall weighted mean (GOWM). One-way ANOVA and t-tests were used to test significant mean differences. At the same time, Pearson’s r was applied to assess relationships between IMP and demographic variables such as age, sex, highest educational attainment, and career service level. Results showed that most respondents were aged 41–50, held a master’s degree, and had attended district- and division-level in-service training. Their IMP was rated “very extensive” across all educational management domains. Significant differences in IMP were noted based on sex, highest educational attainment, and career service level. Moreover, IMP was significantly correlated with sex, highest educational attainment, and career service level. The conclusions revealed that Master Teachers in the study were experienced, well-trained, and highly qualified. Their IMP ratings confirmed strong classroom and instructional performance. However, certain demographic variables influenced variations in IMP. The recommendations include: an incentive program to provide doctoral scholarships for Master Teachers should be established and implemented; symposia and fora for sharing best practices in instructional management should be organized; Further studies on IMP among Master Teachers in specialized subjects (e.g., Math, Science, Reading), across broader contexts and with additional variables should be conducted under the auspices of accredited graduate institutions in the area.
