ABSTRACT
The present study is an attempt to develop and assess a supplementary tool for master teachers’ innovative coaching and observation. It utilized a descriptive research design to determine the respondents' demographic profile and assess the level of acceptability of the developed observation supplementary tool. At the same time, a qualitative research method was applied to analyze respondents' comments and suggestions for improving the tool.
Findings revealed that the existing DepEd RPMS Classroom Observation Tool for Master Teachers showed moderate usability. In contrast, the developed supplementary tool received high ratings for acceptability, specifically in terms of instructions, content design, content organization, and efficiency and effectiveness. Qualitative feedback also contributed to creating a matrix of enhancements, highlighting the need for an index of mastery, simplifying terminologies, training, holistic instruction, strengthening proficiency, designing a user-friendly interface, and full-spectrum observation.
These findings affirm the relevance of a supportive, user-informed observation tool aligned with the Results-Based Performance Management System (RPMS) principles. The developed tool demonstrates potential to improve instructional coaching and supervision practices across varying school contexts is recommended to be implemented by Master Teachers not only in Division of Antipolo City but other schools as well.
