Enhancing Results-Based Performance Management System (RPMS) Practices: A Case Study of Elementary Schools in Irosin II District

To explore the implementation of the Results-Based Performance Management System (RPMS) in the elementary schools of the Irosin II District, the study used a qualitative exploratory case study design. A total of ten participants were selected using a targeted sample through master teachers, head teachers, and a school principal, who were directly involved in RPMS processes. The major themes were then extracted from the narratives of the participants, and these were keyed in through thematic analysis. The study showed that the initial stages of the implementation of RPMS were characterized by the processes of consulting, coordinating, and organizing RPMS-related seminars and training. The steps of communicating and getting help from teachers have proven to be the most efficient way of carrying out RPMS throughout the system, and they have also taken steps and then gotten support from different parties. One of the things that stood out was the need for a new user interface for RPMS and the quick access training period. The relevant materials containing informants' narratives in the implementation of RPMS were analyzed using thematic analysis. According to the survey, when adopting and developing RPMS, informants most frequently held consultative meetings and RPMS seminars. The results led to the recommendation that the Department of Education create local performance management teams to collaboratively review the implementing guidelines and implement capacity-building programs to guide raters through the RPMS process in order to guarantee an impartial and fair assessment of teachers' performance. In order to successfully and efficiently execute the RPMS, the Raters—Master teachers and school heads—were counseled to actively look for opportunities to improve their competences and skills through training, workshops, and seminars. Similarly, comparable studies were suggested in other Sorsogon towns to enhance teachers' RPMS implementation techniques.
