Abstract
The instructors’ teaching skills and satisfaction are vital in their online teaching performance. This study determined the college instructors’ online teaching skills and satisfaction in relation to their teaching performance. This study utilized a descriptive-correlational design. One hundred twenty-one college instructors were chosen as respondents through random sampling. The researchers used frequency, Percentage, Mean, Standard Deviation, Pearson Product Moment Correlation Coefficient and Stepwise Multiple Regression Analysis in analyzing the data. Results showed that instructors had excellent teaching skills, a very high level of job satisfaction, and very satisfactory teaching performance in online classes. Social and communication skills in teaching and the support that the instructors received from the institution were the predictors of their online teaching performance. Administrators may extend support to the instructors with training and workshops and give rewards and incentives for those outstanding faculty to enhance their satisfaction and encourage others to perform better in online teaching.
