Level of Preparedness of Public Elementary School Teachers to Modular Learning Modality in the New Learning Landscape: Basis for Action Plan

Discipline: Education

Abstract:

The study determined the level of preparedness among the teachers in the new normal setting and its relationship to their anxiety and coping mechanisms in public elementary schools in Munai, Lanao del Norte in the school year 2020-2021. The study was conducted at Munai District, wherein purposively selected seventy-nine (79) teachers were utilized as participants. Moreover, the study made use of adapted questionnaires validated by the thesis committee of St. Peter’s College. The data were analyzed using frequency and percentage distribution, mean and standard deviation, and Pearson’s Correlation Analysis. Findings revealed that the teachers moderately agreed with their level of anxiety in the new normal including assessment of modules, adaptation on the new normal, and distribution and retrieval of modules. Also, results revealed that they were oftentimes coping in terms of spiritual means. On their level of preparedness in blended learning, they were moderately ready in terms of utilizing modules. Further, result showed that the level of anxiety and coping mechanisms of the respondents were highly associated. Results also showed that the teachers’ level of anxiety was not significantly associated to their level of preparedness. Also, result disclosed that the coping mechanisms of the teachers were not significantly correlated to their level of preparedness in the new normal.
