The study involved 294 public secondary school teachers selected through simple random sampling. Quantitative data were collected using modified survey questionnaires, while qualitative insights were gathered through semi-structured interviews. Results indicate that teachers' content knowledge is generally extensive, with integration of concepts across the curriculum being the most evident, while application to real-world situations is the least evident. Teachers' ability to customize learning materials is also rated as extensive, particularly in incorporating student feedback, while personalization of learning activities is the least evident. A strong positive relationship was found between teachers' content knowledge and their ability to customize learning materials, suggesting that teachers with strong content mastery are better at adapting instruction. Qualitative findings confirm these results, highlighting teachers' focus on factual accuracy, practical examples, and differentiated instruction. The study emphasizes the need for professional development programs focused on enhancing real-world application and personalized learning.
