This study was conducted to investigate the relationship between teacher commitment and the effective teaching practice at rural primary schools in Ranau District, Malaysia. Teacher commitments consist of commitment to the school, pupils, career, and decision making. A total of 80 respondents were involved in this study. This study was conducted using survey method with questionnaire as the research instrument. The findings were analyzed using the Statistical Package for Social Science (SPSS) software with t-Test statistic, Pearson Correlation and Regression. The results from the data analysis found that the score for the teacher commitment level and the effective teaching were high. Pearson Correlation test had shown that there was a weak correlation between teacher commitment to school and effective teaching at r = 0.304, p < 0.05. The Linear Regression test found that the teacher commitment to the school was the main factor that contributes to the effective teaching. The demographic aspects of gender were not significantly different from the teacher commitment and the effective teaching practices. This study emphasized further research to determine the factors that influence the commitment of teachers, the effectiveness of teaching practices and the appropriate methods to improve both aspects.
