Abstract

Global changes have changed our educational system from a pandemic to a new normal. Teachers have adopted new learning delivery to cope with the demands of this era. This change has shifted classroom set-up into online classes, requiring teachers to digitize the education process. With this, different issues of coping mechanisms were explored to make learning possible. This study aimed to explore (1) the perceptions of participants in digitizing math teaching, (2) challenges met in digitalization, and (3) the coping mechanisms to address the issues encountered. It made use of the Narrative research design and employed purposive sampling in choosing its participants. Three semi-structured open ended questionnaire were used in gathering data. Results showed that participants viewed teaching math online as difficult and at the same time engaging. The difficulties faced were seen in students' focus on the discussion, lack of gadgets, computation skills, and digital competency. Various coping mechanism were suggested to cope with the difficulties like; utilizing online application, providing helpful activities and having positive attitudes towards the issue. In conclusion, it is found that teaching math online is difficult as compared to face-to-face classes, hence it is recommended that training on the digital competency and technology must be prioritized to further cope up when teaching math online.

Abstract

This research investigates the functional literacy levels of barangay officials in selected agricultural communities within Guagua, Pampanga, aiming to design an extension program that improves governance effectiveness. Employing a quantitative descriptive design, the study utilizes a modified DepEd-ALS functional literacy test to evaluate reading, writing, and numeracy competencies among 30 elected officials across Ascomo, Pulungmasle, and Maquiapo. The findings reveal a significant gap between academic qualifications and practical literacy skills, with over 36% of respondents classified at the beginning literacy level. This underscores the need for targeted interventions, especially in remote areas with limited access to education. The study contextualizes functional literacy as a pivotal element for public service delivery, transparency, and civic engagement. Results show that while 80% of respondents attained college education, their functional abilities in written communication, budgeting, and digital tasks vary significantly. The proposed extension program is a six-week, module-based training covering reading, writing, numeracy, communication, and digital literacy. Recommendations include integrating technological tools, routine assessments, and peer mentorship to sustain improvements. Ultimately, enhancing functional literacy is framed not just as a personal upgrade for officials, but as a foundational strategy for community empowerment, responsive governance, and sustainable development.
