Teachers’ Pedagogical Competence and Technological Skills in Relation to Learners’ Performance in Mathematics

Teacher's pedagogical competence and technological skills are important to prepare learners effectively for a continuously changing global context. The study determined the level of the teacher's pedagogical competence and the level of teachers’ technological skills in relation to the learners' performance in Mathematics. It was conducted in three secondary schools in the Division of Misamis Occidental during the School Year 2024-2025. The descriptive-correlational design was used in the study. There were 120 STEM students chosen through stratified random sampling were the respondents of the study. The researcher-made Teachers' Pedagogical Competence Questionnaire and Teachers’ Technological Skills Questionnaire were used as research instruments. Documentary analysis was made to determine the learners' academic achievement. Frequency and Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation, and Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient were used as statistical tools in analyzing the data gathered. Results revealed that the teachers were highly competent in pedagogy and were very skillful in technology. The learners' academic achievement was generally very satisfactory. In terms of pedagogical competence, only assessment and feedback impacts learners’ performance in Mathematics. The level of technological skills was not influential to the learners' performance in Mathematics. Regardless of the teachers' technological skills, the learners could excel academically. Teachers may explore strategies that can help learners reach their maximum potential.
