DOES AN IDEAL TEACHER MAKE AN EFFECTIVE EDUCATOR? AN EVALUATION OF WORK VALUES AND TEACHING EFFECTIVENESS
Keywords:
Teaching, Effectiveness, Work ValuesAbstract
The question of whether excellent work values makes a teacher also effective as a molder of mind is often posed to educators on the quest to provide efficient and effective instruction. After all, work values of teachers are contributory to their teaching effectiveness. This study was conducted to determine the work values of Science teachers in Capiz State University for the School Year 2014-2015 and find out if performance in one area enhances the performance in the other, or so. It is a long-held idea that effectiveness and work values are connected, which are contributory to better teaching and learning experience. Nevertheless, this study found out that science teachers are effective at work regardless of their work values.
