Abstract

Through descriptive-correlational research design, this research examined the extent of musical competence, motivation, and self-efficacy of MAPEH teachers in Ilocos Norte and the correlation of each variable of 31 MAPEH Teachers. Survey Questionnaire was administered to gather data regarding their extent of musical competence, motivation, and self-efficacy. Statistical procedures used to analyze the data were frequency, mean, percentage distribution, and Pearson's r correlation. The findings show that teachers are moderately self-assured regarding their musical skills and teaching capabilities, with particular strengths in inspiring students and connecting music to other subjects. Intrinsic motivation is strong, with teachers finding pleasure and satisfaction in assisting students in uncovering their musical abilities and developing valuable learning experiences. They have high self-efficacies in terms of classroom management and effective instruction, emphasizing the need for flexibility and excellent teaching approaches. Professional development and training are crucial to expanding musical capability and confidence, and areas such as event planning could do with extra support. The research points to the importance of MAPEH teacher preparation courses incorporating practical teaching skills like classroom management, lesson planning, and engagement with students, alongside the development of intrinsic motivation via the transformative power of music learning. Professional development workshops on pedagogy, technology use, and mentoring are essential for bridging instruction gaps and enhancing confidence levels. Building self-efficacy through expert training in innovative teaching strategies, classroom management, and interactive activities will enable educators to address varied learning requirements and provide effective music instruction.
