Teachers have a big role in the education of their students. Their abilities in
teaching will really give effect in students, neither bad nor good. Teachers must have
the right skill, abilities and attitude so that students will enjoy in learning and will have
a better education. Students are now under the K-12 education program of the
government. In this case, students are requiring having deeper knowledge about

Teachers will lead students to choose their career in the future that is the
reason why teachers must have the right skills, abilities, and attitudes. Teaching
style and attitude are included in factors if a student does not effectively learned in
school. Those things are also helpful to the teachers in handling classes. If all
teachers have good teaching practice and good attitude, for sure student will catch
up immediately in the lessons in school. We will know if those things affect the ability
to learn of the students.

Teachers must have unique strategies so that students will learn a lot from the
lesson and will learn affectively from the lesson. Teachers is the role model to the
students therefore, teachers must have good attitudes not only because to learn
effectively but also to learn in how to do good deeds.

Some theoretical frameworks have been developed regarding the study of

According to Ashley Peterson-Deluca (2016) Students are most affected by

the quality of their teachers. Not only they interact with teachers everyday in

Figure 1. The Schematic Diagram of the study showing the interplay between the
Independent and the Dependent Variables.
 The figure 1 presents the relationship between the independent variables to
the dependent variables. The independent variables defined as the profile of the
respondents include the gender, age, previous school attended. This further implies
that these independent variables are the factors that may affect the dependent
variables defined as the quality of the Senior High School Teachers as preferred by
the K-12 students of Samson Polytechnic College of Davao in terms of attitude,
classroom practices, and personality.

The age of the respondent can possibly affect their perception about the quality of
the senior high school teachers as preferred by the k-12 students in Samson
Polytechnic College of Davao in terms of attitude, classroom practices, and
personality. This is due perhaps to the fact that even a few generation gaps could
have different awareness about an issue because they are apart from experience
and timeline of events.This claim is supported by Macro(2004). Who stated that age
of the respondents is one of the most important characteristics in understanding their
views about the particular problems; by and large age indicates level of maturity of
individuals, in that sense, age becomes more important to examine the response.

The gender of the respondents can possibly affect their perception about the quality
of the senior high school teachers as preferred by the k-12 students in Samson
Polytechnic College of Davao in terms of attitude, classroom practices, and
personality. This is due perhaps to the fact that male and female could have a
difference in their opinions and understandings.This claim is supported by Book of
Human Science (2003), stating that there could be difference between the thinking
patterns of a male and female, one factor of this is their chromosomal difference.

The previous school attended of the respondents can possibly affect their perception
about the quality of the senior high school teachers as preferred by the k-12 students
in Samson Polytechnic College of Davao in terms of attitude, classroom practices,
and personality. This due perhaps to the fact that the aspirations of the students are
influenced by the kind of school they attend. The study assessed school
environment factors and peer influence in term of the level of psychological impact
they have on learners. The school as an institution of learning which also act as a
second home for learners has been found to have a strong relationship with students
academic performance.
