Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The study focused on the community involvement practices of public secondary school teachers in the new normal in the 2nd District of Zambales. The study determined the profile of the respondents, the extent of community involvement practices of the respondents, the significant relationship between the profile of the respondents, and the extent of their community involvement practices. The descriptive method of research was used in this study. Findings showed that most respondents are in the middle adulthood stage, married, holding a Teacher III position with a monthly income of Php 20,001 – Php 30,000, experienced teachers with Masters Units, and equipped with training. Likewise, the community involvement practices of the respondents are extensive and all-encompassing. Hence, they do the necessary practices to ensure a healthy and wonderful relationship with the community. Finally, years in service as a teacher greatly influence the extent of community involvement practices of teachers along with collaborating with the community. The study recommended that public secondary school teachers can adapt the program crafted by the researcher to strengthen their community involvement practices. Further, close monitoring/ advising of parents should be done to attract more parents and other stakeholders to engage during community involvement activities. In addition, teachers should recognize problems encountered that may pose an effect on their extent of community involvement practices.
