Abstract


This study was conducted to assess the pedagogical management competencies of Mandarin Language Teachers of selected Chinese schools in the National Capital Region (NCR) during the First Quarter of School Year 2018-2019. Results revealed that both assessments of the Elementary and High School Mandarin Language teachers rated the Teacher's Attitude competency as the highest while Information, Media and Technology Skills were the least. With regard to the Head teachers' assessment, the Teacher's Attitude competency was assessed much higher as compared to Information, Media and Technology competency among the Elementary teachers. On the other hand, the High School teachers garnered the highest rating in the Mastery of the Mandarin Language competency as compared to the Information, Media and Technology competency which obtained the lowest mean. Meanwhile, when the assessments of the Elementary and High School Mandarin Language teachers with their respective Head teachers were compared accordingly, it resulted to a "no significant difference" result. Similarly, "no significant difference" result was noted when the overall assessments of the Elementary and High School Mandarin Language teachers were compared to that of their Head teachers. Finally, the Elementary and High School respondents shared the same views when their overall assessments were compared accordingly.
