Experiences of Neophyte School Heads in Managing Schools in the Hinterlands: A Phenomenology
Judith Silva | Celso Casamayor
Discipline: Education
Abstract:
This qualitative study employed a phenomenological approach and aimed to describe and understand the experiences
of neophyte school heads in managing schools in the hinterlands of Langilan district under the Department of
Education, Division of Davao del Norte. Newly appointed school heads are still considered learners in the field of
school management, even with their prior education and extensive training for the role. Ten participants were recruited
using purposive sampling and underwent a virtual, in-depth interview. At this stage of research, the experiences of the
neophyte school heads are generally defined as the experiences, coping mechanisms, and insights of the newly
designated school head in the research locale. As to the participants’ experiences, four themes emerged, namely:
encountering difficulties in traveling to school; having insufficient financial resources; lacking school supplies and
facilities; and dealing with cultural differences. With regards to their response to coping mechanisms, four themes
appeared: seeking help from colleagues and superiors; collaborating with stakeholders; being open-minded and
consultative; and familiarizing DepEd Policies. Lastly, their insights revealed five themes: wider scope of
responsibility; desire to learn; passion to help the community as reason to stay; necessity of providing trainings; and
provision of human and other resources. The study reveals that neophyte school heads have different difficulties and
hardships in managing schools. It concluded that in Langilan district, help from colleagues, superiors, and
collaboration with stakeholders is very significant to the participants, and it speaks to the fact that neophyte school
heads need training and assistance from the Department of Education implementers that could help them perform as
school leaders.
