Abstract:
This study examined elementary
teachers’ perceptions of pupils’
readiness for the MATATAG Curriculum
in Cabarroguis District, Schools
Division of Quirino, during the second
semester of SY 2024–2025. It assessed
readiness in terms of information,
media, and technology skills, as well as
life and career skills, and explored
variations in perception based on
teachers’ demographic and professional
profiles. Using a descriptivecomparative design, data were gathered
from 64 teachers through stratified
random sampling and analyzed with
descriptive statistics and t-tests.
Teachers generally perceived pupils as
ready, particularly in multimediarelated tasks, though continued
supervision was needed. Pupils also
exhibited respect, perseverance, and
social responsibility, but showed
limited independence and emergency
preparedness. Significant differences in
perceptions emerged in areas such as
peer modeling, engagement, and
disaster readiness based on teacher
profiles. The findings highlight the
need to foster pupil autonomy and
strengthen character education
alongside digital literacy for effective
curriculum implementation.
