Abstract:
This study examined the relationship between teachers’ engagement in Learning Action Cell (LAC) sessions and their classroom management skills among public elementary school teachers in the Division of San Fernando City. Using a descriptive-correlational research design, data were gathered from 78 teacher-respondents through a validated researcher-made questionnaire. Teachers’ LAC engagement was assessed in terms of participation, collaboration, reflection, and application of strategies, while classroom management skills were examined across maintaining discipline, organizing classroom activities, managing time and resources, and fostering a positive learning environment. Findings revealed that teachers demonstrated a generally high level of engagement in LAC sessions, with participation and application of strategies rated highest, while collaboration and reflection were at a moderate level. Classroom management skills were also rated high, particularly in maintaining discipline and fostering a positive learning environment. Pearson correlation analysis showed a significant positive relationship between LAC engagement and classroom management skills, with application of strategies exhibiting the strongest correlation. These results indicate that active and sustained engagement in professional learning communities such as LAC contributes significantly to improving teachers’ classroom management competencies. The study underscores the importance of strengthening collaborative and reflective practices in LAC sessions to maximize their impact on teaching effectiveness and learning outcomes, and it serves as a basis for developing an action plan to enhance professional development initiatives in the division.
