What are the scores of Compensation Satisfaction of Special Education teachers ? 3. What are the scores of Self - maximization Survey of Special Education teachers? 4. What are the scores of Special Education Teachers in the Teachers Performance Inventory? 5. Is there significant relationship among compensation satisfaction and self - maximization of Special Education Teachers i n being effective helping professional? Scope and Limitation The study deals with the compensation satisfaction and self - maximization of special education teachers in relation to being effective in their profession. Their compensationsatisfaction includ es basic salary and monetarybenefitsfulfillment thatwill be acquired throughself - made questionnaire. Self - maximization data will be attained from validated self - made questionnaire named Self - maximization Survey divided into three categories which are job s atisfaction, self - efficacy, and self - determination. Their effectiveness will be measured through the use of validated Teacher Performance Inventory. The participants will be chosen through purposive sampling technique, with regard to their age, sex, and e ducational attainment. The 103 chosen participants must have at least one year teaching experience and working in public and private school which cater children with special needs. The results to be acquired will only be used in answering the stated proble ms of this study. Methodology The research used Non - experimental quantitative research design specifically correlational to determine whether, and to what degree, a relationship exists between two or more quantifiable variables. To measure the three (3) variables which are compensation satisfaction, self - maximization and effectiveness, self - made questionnaires were created in a form of Likert scale and were validated and subjected to reliability testing for external and internal consistency. One hundred t hree (103) special education teachers were chosen as respondents through purposive sampling. Major Findings The following are the findings of the study: 1. Majority of the respondents are 20 to 29 years of age. Common special education teachers within Cavite and some part of Metro Manila are females and are college graduate and hold a Bachelor’s Degree. 2. The Compensation Satisfaction scores of the respondents are high. 3. Majority of the respondents got high scores on the Self - Maximization Survey. 4. The Teachers P erformance Inventory of Special Education Teachers also obtained high scores. Thus prove that respondents are implicit or effective. 5. There is a significant relationship between Self - Maximization and Effectiveness of Special Education Teachers. 6. There is a s ignificant relationship between Compensation Satisfaction and Self - Maximization of Special Education Teachers. 7. There is no significant relationship between Effectiveness and Compensation Satisfaction of Special Education teachers. 8. Therefore, there is a sig nificant relationship between Compensation Satisfaction and Self - Maximization of Special Education teachers in being Effective Helping Professional. Conclusion In the light of the findings as summarized, the following conclusions were drawn : 1. Special Education teachers are already having interest in teaching Special Educationstarting at the age group of young adults. The respondents are commonly females and most of the Special Education teachers had Bachelor’s Degree and some wants to pursue their grad uate studies in Special education. 2. Most of the respondents are well satisfied of their salary and monetary compensation. 3. Majority of the respondents are efficient, determined and satisfied with their jobs therefore, they are intrinsically motivated. 4. Based on the evaluation made by the respondents’ supervisors, respondentswere very effective. 5. The respondents are satisfied with their compensation and are intrinsically motivated or self - maximize. An intrinsically motivated special education teacher is highly effective in his/her profession. Special Education teachers may not be satisfied with their compensation but still can be effective with their job. Recommendations Based on the findings and conclusions, the researchers offer the following recommendations . 1. This study recommends that both private and public institution conduct programs that promotes self - maximization emphasizing on the three categories namely self - efficacy, self - determination and job satisfaction such activities includes seminar and/or works hops discussing the importance of the three categories, mentoring of special education teachers, regular monitoring and feedback on their performance for growth and development and giving them experience on achievement either by recognition or giving them projects that are challenging enough to them. In this way, it will not just help them become self - maximized teachers in their respective works but also self - maximized individuals in the society. If this continues, not only special education teachers be mo re self - maximized but also the quality of education they will give to children with special needs will improve as well. 2. The researchers recommend for establishing deeper understanding and roots to the term self - maximization. Use it as a study to another t ype of sampling or respondents. 3. In order to compare and contrast the results and the study itself, future researchers are advised to use different kind of research design. As the current study is using a non - experimental quantitative research design, futu re researcher may study self - maximization in a qualitative research design. 4. The study recommends for future researchers to draw distinction between self - maximization and other units of analysis aside from compensation satisfaction and effectiveness.
