ABSTRACT
This study aims to determine the performance of out-of-field senior high school teachers in the Surigao del Sur division. The researcher utilized a descriptive-survey method in exploring the objectives of the study. The instrument used was a revised-adapted questionnaire from “Characteristics of a Well-Managed Classroom. By: Scarlett Gauthier”. There were two forms of questionnaire used in this study: the first form is intended for the school heads/principal. It evaluates out-of-field teachers’ performance in terms of lesson planning, pedagogy, classroom management, assessment, and remediation. The second form is intended for the out-of-field senior high school teachers. It consists of two parts; the first part entails the profile of the teacher respondents, which includes; age, sex, degree finished, and the number of hours training related to teaching. The second part implicates the problem encountered by the respondents in terms of lesson planning, pedagogy, classroom management, assessment, and remediation. Based on the findings of the study, the researcher concluded that the out-of-field senior high school teachers need assistance in all the areas of focus being assessed. Moreover, in terms of the problems encountered by the teacher respondents: lesson planning, assessment, and remediation are considered much serious problem. Conversely, it was found out that the profile of the respondents has no significant relationship to their performance.
