Abstract
The study investigates the relationship between teacher attributes, student satisfaction, and academic achievement among Grade 10 students in District II of Manila. Utilizing quantitative data analysis, the research examines the direct effects of teacher interaction, teacher learning experience, and teacher innovation skills on student satisfaction and academic performance. The result from the study reveals that teacher interaction significantly influences student satisfaction, with a higher impact on the teacher's learning experience and innovation skills. However, there are no significant direct effects where the observed relationship between the teacher attribute and academic achievement indicates that other factors play a more substantial role in influencing the student's academic outcomes. Furthermore, the analysis explores the mediating role of student satisfaction between teacher attributes and academic achievement and finds that student satisfaction does not significantly mediate the relationship. The findings suggest the complex interplay between teacher characteristics, student satisfaction, and academic performance, highlighting the need for a broader approach to understanding and enhancing educational outcomes. The study encourages further research into additional factors that could influence academic achievement and calls for educational policy and adjustment to better cater to the holistic needs of the students.
