Abstract

This study dealt with the influence of Teacher’s Burnout and Perceived Self-Efficacy to Classroom Management among High School Teachers in Mawab, Davao de Oro. The primary goal of this study was to determine the level of teacher’s burnout and perceived self-efficacy to classroom management in terms of their respected indicators, the significant difference between burnout and perceived self-efficacy to classroom management, and what domains of burnout and perceived self-efficacy substantially influence classroom management. Also this study utilized a quantitative-correlational design with 113 respondents among teachers in three chosen High Schools’ in Mawab, Davao de Oro. The average weighted mean, Pearson-R, and Multiple Regression analysis were the statistical tools used in this study. Along with this, result showed a low level of burnout among teachers in terms of coping with job-related stress, attitude towards students, and perceived administrative support, and very low level in terms of career satisfaction. In another independent variable which was perceived self-efficacy, it showed a very high level in terms of instructional self-efficacy, efficacy to create positive school climate, and efficacy to enlist parental involvement, while efficacy to influence decision making, and disciplinary self-efficacy got a high level. Likewise, the result showed a very high levels in every indicator of classroom management. Additionally, only perceived self-efficacy had moderate correlation towards classroom management, while teacher’s burnout got a negligible correlation. Hence, this led to the rejection of null hypothesis in terms of perceived self-efficacy and not rejecting the null hypothesis in terms of teacher’s burnout. Also all domains of teacher’s burnout had low ratings and perceived self-efficacy as most perceived by teachers. This meant that teachers were showing lower levels of burnout and higher levels of perceived self-efficacy which led them to have an effective classroom management. This result led the teachers to be aware that having a self-efficacy is very important to lessen their burnout in managing their classrooms.
