ABSTRACT

—— The purpose of the study determined the relationship between the technical assistance of school leaders and teacher performance among elementary schools in Panabo City. The results show that school leaders offer strong technical support to teachers, particularly in empowerment, supervision, and coaching, with all areas scoring very high. Also, the results show that teachers demonstrate outstanding performance, with a mean score of 4.514 for the IPCRF indicator. The correlation analysis reveals a weak positive relationship between technical assistance provided by school leaders and teacher performance, with a p-value of 0.01, indicating statistical significance. The regression analysis shows that empowerment and coaching significantly influence teacher performance, with empowerment having a strong effect (p < 0.001) and coaching also showing significance (p = 0.011). However, supervision does not significantly impact teacher performance (p = 0.635), and the overall model is meaningful with an F-value of 12.594 and a statistically significant p-value (<0.001), explaining about 12 percent of the variance in teacher performance. For Future Researchers. Look into other factors that might also influence teacher performance, since the current study only explains about 12 percent of the variation; there’s room for more exploration. Finally, the result affirms the theory of self-efficacy by Albert Bandura which proposes that a person's belief in their ability to complete a task or achieve a goal.
