Abstract:

This qualitative study aimed to study and identify the strategies of Senior High School English teachers of Holy Trinity College of General Santos City for collaborative work. The researchers purposely selected seven (7) English teachers of the Senior High School Department of Holy Trinity College of General Santos City who are teaching the subjects Practical Research and Reading and Writing. To obtain the results of this study, the researchers utilized a structured and comprehensive interview guide. The participants were then able to share the collaborative works they are implementing, the challenges they face in the implementation of such, and most importantly the strategies for collaborative work. The study established two major themes in the strategies of the participants which are peer evaluation and educational guidance. Considering the findings of the study, it is recommended for the institution to strengthen the integration of the collaborative learning theory in collaborative works inside the classrooms to ensure that the benefits already innate in collaborative work is achieved. Furthermore, the researchers also recommend the future researchers to venture in a comparative study that will analyze and explore the strategies for collaborative work in diverse educational subjects and contexts which can provide a comprehensive understanding into the benefits of intervention or strategies for collaborative work.
