This study aimed to determine the relationship between teachers’ assessment of in-service training and teachers’ performance ratings among secondary school teachers in San Fernando, Bukidnon. One Hundred Fifty-Seven (157) public school teachers participated in the study.The instrument used was an adapted and modified questionnaire composed of two parts: An Assessment of the Effects of In-Service Training Attended and Teachers’ Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form (IPCRF). It was tested and yielded a Cronbach’s Alpha of .701.
The study revealed that the extent of the assessment on in-service training concerning various teaching skills is rated as having a high extent of improvement on all indicators. Communication skills revealed a high extent of improvement across all indicators. All indicators of guidance skills demonstrated a high extent of improvement. Management skills indicated a very high extent of improvement across all indicators and evaluation skills demonstrated a high extent of improvement across all indicators.
Based on the 2023-2024 Teachers’ Individual Performance Commitment and Review Form (IPCRF), the performance rating among secondary school teachers in San Fernando, Bukidnon is Very Satisfactory. The test of a significant relationship between teachers’ assessment of in-service training and their performance rating does not show a significant relationship, thus, the null hypothesis there is no significant relationship between teachers’ assessment of in-service training and their performance level is accepted.
The result of this study declared that though in-service training brings a high extent of improvement to teachers and their performance rating is rated as Very Satisfactory, there is no remarkable relationship between the two variables.
