Journal Title: Psychology and Education: A Multidisciplinary Journal - Year 2024, Vol 22, Issue 5
Abstract
This study explored the practices of Grade 3 teachers in Cataingan East District, employing an Explanatory-Sequential Study design to identify strategies, assess efficacy, address challenges, and determine support needs. Quantitative analysis scrutinized socio-demographic profiles, teaching strategies, and effectiveness perceptions, while qualitative inquiry through thematic analysis delved into challenges and support mechanisms. Participants included 21 elementary teachers from Cataingan East District, predominantly female, married, and experienced, representing diverse backgrounds. Commonly used strategies such as Vocabulary Instruction and Interactive Read-Aloud were identified, with potential enhancements suggested for areas like Literature Circles. Phonics Instruction emerged as highly effective. Challenges included student reading levels, learning styles, resource scarcity, waning student interest, and parental involvement. Teachers articulated requisites for enhanced literacy instruction, including conducive environments, tutoring support, parental involvement, ongoing training, ample resources, and mentorship opportunities. Recommendations emphasized supporting teacher professional development, fostering collaborative instructional approaches, ensuring sustained support and resource availability, developing targeted interventions, and nurturing a supportive teaching environment. These insights advocated tailored initiatives aimed at empowering Grade 3 teachers, optimizing teaching practices, and addressing systemic challenges in literacy instruction, ultimately fostering student success and promoting holistic educational development.
