Abstract

The learners as of the present are called Generation Z learners. This study aimed to come up with the common challenges and coping strategies of teachers in handling Generation Z learners in the intermediate level. The study was conducted during the school year 2019-2020. The participants were the intermediate teachers in District 10 of Ozamiz City Division. This study employed a phenomenological qualitative research design. The focus of this study was to gather the common challenges and coping strategies of teachers based on their experiences. The responses were analyzed through the use of thematic analysis. It was found out that the challenges commonly met by the intermediate teachers were learners’ difficult behaviors, negative impact of technology/inappropriate use of technology and poor academic performance. The study also revealed that the coping strategies of the teachers were ICT integration in teaching, imposing friendly classroom discipline, parent-teacher partnership, and enhancing teachers’ ICT literacy. This study suggested that in planning teachers’ training programs, administrators of the Department of Education should also include topics that focuses on how to cope up teachers’ challenges met in their classrooms. Topics may involve handling Generation Z learners and developing necessary skills in innovative teaching.

Abstract

This study explored the perceptions of intermediate-level public school teachers regarding implementing the Catch-Up Day program. Six (6) intermediate-level teachers from a public school participated in this single case study, which aimed to understand teachers' views on the program designed to support struggling learners. Data were collected using an Interview Guide. The findings revealed that teachers view the Catch-Up Day program positively, recognizing its benefits for struggling learners despite it adding to their workload. The key strategies employed by teachers included sharing lesson plans with another teacher, utilizing interactive activities, employing basic reading skills, using peer tutoring strategy, and incorporating enhancement activities. Despite encountering challenges such as increased workload, pupils' poor reading comprehension, lack of parental support, and lack of pupils' interest, teachers managed these obstacles by materials, providing take-home activities, communicating with parents, and providing interactive reading activities. Teachers agreed on the program's effectiveness in improving students' reading skills and emphasized the need for adequate resources and support to ensure its continued success. The recommendations from this study could help educators, school administrators, and policymakers enhance the programs and make adjustments that effectively address the needs of teachers and students.
