Abstract

This research evaluated the process of conventional counseling techniques in one of the private higher educational institutions to improve its counseling services. This research also aimed at inviting more college students to submit themselves to the counseling process. This study employed a qualitative case study design of Yin (2014) using 32 research participants as key informants: 30 counselees and two guidance counselors. The evaluation of conventional counseling is based on Pal's (2011) seven stages in the counseling process: readiness, reception, reconnaissance, examination, interpretation, application, and review. Based on the findings, most of the students who entered the guidance office were not ready for the counseling process. However, the clienteles had a good impression of the counselors that leads to empowerment. Therefore, one way to enhance the practice of conventional counseling in schools is through the utilization of scripture-based counseling.

Abstract

Multigrade classes in the Philippines are usually present in Elementary schools in remote areas where few students are in one-year level. Thus, teachers then handle multiple grade levels at a time. This study investigated the challenges and Coping strategies of Multigrade teachers in the western part of the Philippines. The researchers employed a Transcendental phenomenological method in this study. They gathered the data through one-to-one interviews of multigrade teachers who have been teaching for at least three years. Following the data analysis of Kleiman (2004), the results revealed that there were intrinsic, extrinsic, and system challenges experienced by these teachers. These challenges involved unpreparedness in teaching multigrade, low multigrade allowances, the experience of stress, language barrier, classroom management struggles, lack of resources, danger in going to stations, workload, absenteeism, lack of stakeholders’ support, and lack of trainings. However, they showed positivity in their work and applied the right coping strategies to lessen their burden. Among these coping strategies were praying, using the web, having time management, self-conditioning, developing plans, and doing research. The participants believed that handling Multigrade classes requires time, effort, and balance. Through these experiences, teachers learned to adjust and cope with the challenges they were facing. Thus, they became better educators.
