Abstract

How many wounds can we justify to prove our love to the person holding the knife? This is the question which embodies the feeling initially felt by the respondents of this study who only engaged in a relationship with hopes to have a complete and loving family to cherish. The painful face of reality among some of the teachers of Malapatan National High School is drawn out by the courage to love somebody so much in the beginning just to be left broken into pieces at the end. This sparked the interest of the researchers to conduct the study to address this concern. During data-analysis phase, the IPCRF rating was considered in identifying the performance level of the ill-fated teachers during the occurrence of their failed relationship. In further consideration, the latest rating, frequency percentage and mean were measured. In determining the significant difference between the performances in terms of IPCRF rating during the occurrence of failed relationship and the latest IPCRF rating when they have managed to move on, a paired t-test was used. Using t-test, the p-value is 0.032013. It is concluded that there is a significant difference between their previous and latest performance ratings. This means that during and after the occurrence of failed relationship of the teachers, their performances differ significantly. This result leads to the rejection of the null hypothesis, that there is significant effect on the performance level, in terms of the IPCRF rating, of the teachers when they experience failed relationship
