Flipped Classroom Strategies and Self-Efficacy of Elementary Education Students

Sheena Kae F. Luna

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

Teaching is a demanding profession, with educators in the Philippines facing burnout, low morale, and systemic stressors that impact both their well-being and student outcomes. This study aimed to assess the well-being and support needs of private school teachers in Silang, Cavite, to inform the development of a community-based wellness program. Using a qualitative needs assessment design, data were collected from ten teaching personnel via an online structured survey and analyzed through thematic analysis. Six major themes emerged: (1) documentation overload and burnout, (2) financial strain as a systemic barrier, (3) lack of structured wellness and mental health programs, (4) professional development needs, (5) peer and social support as protective factors, and (6) the value of recognition and empathy. These findings highlight the multifaceted challenges teachers face, which significantly affect their professional sustainability and morale. The study concludes that comprehensive interventions are urgently needed to address these issues. Recommendations include streamlining administrative tasks, providing financial support and literacy programs, implementing wellness initiatives, and enhancing professional development opportunities. Strengthening peer networks and institutionalizing recognition practices are also essential. These measures are critical for improving teacher well-being, reducing burnout, and fostering a supportive educational environment.
