Influence of Teachers’ Accountability on Learners’ Learning Engagement

Abstract

Teacher accountability plays a vital role in promoting learners’ academic engagement. This study examined the relationship between teachers’ accountability and learners’ learning engagement among Grades 1 to 6 pupils at Lupiagan Elementary School during the School Year 2023–2024. Specifically, it assessed teachers’ accountability in terms of duty and responsibility, communication, and expectations, as well as learners’ engagement in oral recitation and participation in performance tasks. A descriptive–correlational research design was employed. Data were collected from 124 learners using a modified questionnaire adapted from Dargusch (2018). Mean, standard deviation, and Pearson’s r were used for data analysis.
