Abstract:

This study explores the demographic characteristics and perceptions of teachers regarding their experience, accountability, and performance. The majority of respondents are aged 26-35, female, with 1-5 years of service, and hold a Master’s degree, with a notable portion aged 25 or younger and around 20% possessing a Bachelor’s degree. The findings highlight that teachers generally agree on the importance of key factors in their teaching experience, including guidance, work ethic, and lesson planning. These factors are seen as essential in enhancing teaching effectiveness. In terms of teaching accountability, respondents strongly agree on the significance of professionalism, responsibility, and duties. The composite mean reflects a strong consensus on the importance of these factors in ensuring effective teaching practices. Regarding teaching performance, accuracy is highly valued, along with quality and outcome, with all indicators showing general agreement on their role in effective teaching. Furthermore, the study identifies significant differences in responses when grouped by demographic factors such as age, sex, years of service, and educational attainment. These factors notably influence perceptions of teacher experience, with age and educational level being particularly impactful. Teaching accountability also varies significantly based on these factors, though sex appears to have a lesser influence on certain aspects of accountability. The results suggest that tailored approaches to teacher development may be necessary to address the varied perceptions influenced by demographic characteristics.
