Abstract:
This study employed a quantitative descriptive-correlational research design to investigate the relationship between the supervisory competencies of school administrators and the pedagogical skills of teachers in the Aritao West District for the school year 2024–2025. A total of 94 public elementary school teachers, comprising 76.42% of the teacher population in the district, were selected using Slovin’s Formula to ensure a representative sample. Data were collected through validated and reliable research instruments and analyzed using appropriate statistical tools, with a 0.05 level of significance. Findings revealed that teachers perceived the supervisory competencies of their school administrators as very high, indicating consistent and commendable leadership performance. Likewise, teachers rated their pedagogical skills as very high, demonstrating strong competence in communication, collaboration, adaptability, inclusivity, and compassion. However, statistical analysis showed no significant correlation between the perceived supervisory competencies of school administrators and the pedagogical skills of teachers. This suggests that improvements in administrative leadership may not directly influence instructional practices. In response to the findings, a targeted three-day training program was developed to sustain pedagogical excellence and further empower teachers in supporting effective school leadership. The study recommends the establishment of a monitoring and evaluation framework that systematically assesses supervisory competencies and teaching practices to determine evolving professional development needs. This framework will enable schools to design and implement capacity-building interventions that are data-driven, responsive, and aligned with the changing demands of the educational environment.
