Dissertation Abstract:

 

The study was conducted to measure the college faculty members' teaching effectiveness, research productivity, and extension performance; to identify the factors related with these; and to assess their interrelationships.

Data were gathered by means of self-administered questionnaires using 111 college faculty members and 2,638 students in seven state universities and colleges in Region VI, Philippines, as respondents.

The majority of the faculty respondents were female, married, and middle-aged with a mean age of 40.4 years. Mostofthem were bachelor's degree holders, had permanent appointment status, and had the rank of Instructor. Most of them belonged to the arts and humanities discipline. Moreover, most of the faculty respondents have been in the teaching profession ever since they were employed. They have been teaching on the secondary level prior to teaching at the collegiate level. They had a mean instructional work load of 17.99 hours a week and, on the average, were handling 9.6 units per semester with a class size of about 30 students.

In general, the faculty respondents were not highly satisfied with their careers. They perceived the work environment and organizational climate in their institutions only as average in quality.

The students perceived that their teachers had good personality (friendly and responsive) and were highly effective. The faculty respondents were, however, low in research productivity and extension performance based on their research and extension outputs.

In terms of the relationship of the variables, the study revealed that teaching effectiveness was pos itively related with personality, research productivity with educational attainment, and extension performance with personality, educational attainment, and academic discipline. Furthermore, it was found that only research productivity and extension performance were positively correlated.
