Abstract

The Government establishes Alternative Learning System to provide all Filipinos the chance to have access to and complete basic education in a mode that fits their distinct situations and needs. This study aimed to determine the instructional competence of Alternative Learning System (ALS) Implementers in relation to learners’ performance in the Division of Guimaras for the year 2015.

The instructional competence of ALS implementers as a whole was very high. Areas of communication skills, critical thinking and problem-solving, sustainable use of resources and productivity, development of self and a sense of community, and expanding one’s world were all held with very high instructional competence.

For ALS implementers, when they were classified according to their personal attributes, it yielded positive results. The performance of ALS learners as a whole was satisfactory and garnered the same result when classified according to age, sex, and civil status.

Results further showed that there was no significant difference in the instructional competence of ALS implementers when classified according to age, sex, civil status, educational attainment, and length of teaching experience. Likewise, there was no significant difference in the performance of ALS learners when classified according to age level.

However, there were significant differences in the performance of ALS learners when classified according to sex and civil status. Significant relationship existed between the instructional competence of ALS implementers and learners’ performance.
