Teachers Challenges in the Conduct of Assessment and their Teaching Performance

This study explored the demographic characteristics of teachers, challenges faced in assessment practices, and their impact on teaching performance. The results showed a varied demographic profile, with the majority of teachers between the ages of 30 and 39, having Bachelor's Degrees, and having areas of specialization such as Science and Filipino. Notable challenges included preparing assessments, putting strategies into practice, encouraging student participation, and making good use of assessment feedback. Most teachers did well and showed high levels of satisfaction despite these challenges. The study also revealed that younger teachers faced greater challenges when it came to assessment. Specifically, there was a negative correlation between teaching performance and difficulties in using assessment feedback. In response, an action plan was suggested to improve teacher support and assessment planning. The study emphasized the necessity of focused interventions to address these issues, which enhanced assessment practices and lessened the workloads of teachers.
