 ABSTRACT

ROBIN, LEA A., Nava; State University, Naval, Biliran, Philippines, March
2017. MONITORING AND EVALUATION PRACTICES OF ELEMENTARY
SCHOOL ADMINISTRATORS IN LEYTE DIVISION. A Doctorate Dissertation.

Adviser: Dr. Susan S. Bentor

Monitoring and evaluation is essential in helping managers, planners,

implementers, policy makers and donors acquire the information and wisdom they

need to make informed decisions about program operations. Monitoring and

evaluations helps in identifying the most valuable and efficient use of resources. It

is critical for developing objective conclusions regarding the extent to which

program can be judged a “success”.

This study evaluates the extent of school based management, and

monitoring and evaluation practices in Department of Education Region VIII Leyte

Division, and how it affects schools’ performance or institutional performance

profile measured through overall school results in the National Achievement Test.

The study utilized the descriptive – correlational research design using a

survey questionnaire as main instrument in gathering the data involving 200 school

administrators as respondents of the study through random sampling. The study

was conducted in 32 districts across Leyte Division.

The analysis and interpretation of the data revealed that SBM or School

Based Management is frequently undertaken. Furthermore, monitoring and

evaluation is regularly being practiced. However, when the two variables are

correlated with schools’ performance, no significant relationship could be found.

xiii
These results imply that School Based Management (SBM) and monitoring and

evaluation practices have no influence on the schools’ institutional performance

profile in Leyte Division.

There is a need to study other factors or to determine if the enabling

conditions needed for School Based Management (SBM) and monitoring and

evaluation practices are present for them to have a positive impact on student

outcomes and school performance.
