The Philippine STEAM Teacher Quality

The Philippine initiative towards Education 4.0 underscores quality STEAM education at the forefront that emphasizes the preparation of the future workforce with strong background on the meta-discipline. Efforts then focus on enhancing and developing quality STEAM education through STEAM teacher quality. However, this ingenuity as a novel approach to improve country metrics on innovation requires assessment tools that will provide baseline data to inform policies and programs. Thus, this brief reports the development of a self-rating proficiency indicator for STEAM educators grounded on quality assurance principles of the Philippine Qualifications Framework (PQF), PPST, and TPACK framework, and the assessment of Philippine STEAM teacher quality using the tool.
