Dauntless Bravery: Unveiling the Experiences of Female Single Parent Teachers

Geraldine Harid | Geraldine Rodriguez

Discipline: others in psychology

 

Abstract:

This study aimed to describe the experiences of the female teachers who are single parents by focusing on the description of their significant experiences, their coping mechanisms, and the insights that they can share. The researcher employed a qualitative-phenomenological approach as the research design. The participants of the study were the ten teachers for the in-depth interview and ten teachers for the focus group discussions. These teachers are from the Municipality of Alabel, Province of Sarangani. The findings indicated that in the experiences of the teachers, four (4) emergent themes emerged, and these are: patiently taking responsibilities, good in managing time, experiencing financial instability, and becoming optimistic. On the other hand, in terms of the coping mechanism of the teachers, six (6) major themes emerged when the data was analyzed: overwhelming support from significant others, enriching one’s spirituality, loving oneself, acceptance of the reality, possessing stronger personality, and focusing on the responsibilities. Lastly, in terms of the insights that the female single parents could share based on their experiences, six (6) major themes emerged: resiliency, feeling the pain until it hurts no more, never forget to pray, face life positively, managing finances well and be an inspiration. These could become the basis in crafting specific programs and projects which would benefit the female teachers who are single parents.
