The Senior High School Teachers' Philosophical Orientation and Its Relationship with their Teaching Performance

—Teachers must be aware of their own beliefs. Their philosophies are essential personal tools for achieving both academic and professional objectives. With this, this study was conducted to determine the philosophical orientation of Senior High School teachers in Narra del Norte District in Palawan, Philippines, along with their teaching performance. It was found that teachers were eclectic as they were inclined to more than one teaching philosophy, including Idealism, Existentialism, and Pragmatism, and were performing very well in their teaching tasks. However, it was proven that the teachers' philosophical orientation has nothing to do with their teaching performance. Nevertheless, the philosophical practices of teachers should not be neglected, hence, seminars improving one's philosophical orientation must be conducted
