Predictors of Quality Teaching of Elementary School Teachers: A Multiple Regression Analysis

Abstract

Quality teaching is influenced by varied dimensions. This predictive research extrapolates which predictors affect quality teaching. Employing stratified simple random sampling, 168 out of 290 elementary school teachers answered the validated and tried out survey questionnaire via an online platform. Findings reveal that role overload and career development opportunity significantly influence quality teaching. Class size, length of service, and personal commitment do not significantly influence quality teaching. The model generated is Quality Teaching = 3.562 + 0.325*Role Overload + 0.245*Career Development Opportunity. The management may support elementary school teachers to grab career development opportunity as these contribute to their quality teaching. Teachers who manifest high role overload may be prioritized to be given career development opportunity as a reward for their hard work.
