Assessment on the Professional Competence and Teaching Performance OF SEAMEO Innotech Guro21 Course 1 Scholars In Region XII

This study looked at the professional skills and teaching abilities of SEAMEO INNOTECH GURO21 Course 1 students in Region XII during the 2023–2024 school year. This was done because technology in education around the world changes so quickly. The mean, one-way ANOVA, and the Kruskal-Wallis Test were some of the statistical tools used in the study of 354 teacher-scholars. A descriptive-correlational method was used. According to the data, all school divisions consistently demonstrated very high levels of professional competence and high levels of instructional effectiveness. They were not significantly different from each other. This means that every school, everywhere, wants to be the best. This shows that structured professional development programs, such as GURO21, can change the way teachers teach in the 21st century. Politicians and school leaders should continue to support these kinds of programs and possibly expand them. They should also ensure that they can be adapted to meet the changing needs of the classroom. Additionally, new tools and teaching methods are introduced to provide students with more practice in the classroom, making them more adaptable and effective. Systems can help kids more in digital environments that move quickly by providing teachers with additional training and support. In the future, researchers may investigate how participation in GURO21 impacts the quality of teaching and the academic performance of students over the long term. This would reveal important insights into how professional ability can significantly impact the way schools operate.
