Description

Abstract: This qualitative-phenomenological research design study looked into the challenges faced by the teachers assigned in delivering the modular instruction in the remote schools of Maitum, Sarangani during the global pandemic. Using thematic analysis and codes that emerged from the transcribed data were the challenges of academically deficient parents, fear of one’s health, poverty, the challenge of disinterested parents, the challenge of no face-to-face classes, the challenges of self-reproduction of the modules, and the adherence to health protocols. Despite the challenges, teacher participants described the challenges as stressful, yet, they still have full commitment to their work as a teacher. These were the themes that sprouted out from the codes. Hence, it is recommended that teachers may be recognized for their efforts to boost their morale. Also, efforts towards improving the socio-economic status of residents in far flung schools should be intensified. Further, teachers should be given enough remuneration for their efforts in continuing education in the new normal. Lastly, accessibility and availability of resources must be at the teacher’s disposal.

Keywords: educational management, challenges, experiences, master teacher, remote areas, new normal, phenomenology, Philippines.
