Unveiling the Untold Stories: An Exploration of Non-Language Teachers Journey in Developing Reading Materials for Catch-Up Fridays

Abstract

The study aims to understand the lived experiences of non-language teachers in the preparation of reading materials to be used during Catch-Up Fridays. The participants of the study were five (5) non-language secondary teachers with a minimum of 3 years of teaching experience. The research employed purposive sampling. The researchers employ the inclusion criteria in selecting them as follows: 1) 3 and more years in the service, 2) a DepEd employee specifically in Candon City Division, 3) non-language major and 4) must be willing to participate in the study. Purposive sampling is a sampling method where the selection of participants is grounded on the judgment of the researchers based on the set of specific characteristics or qualities relevant to the research question. This study utilized phenomenological research. Findings reveal that non-language teachers view the preparation of reading materials as Harmonies of Resilience: Transforming Adversity into Achievement with three sub-themes emerging, namely NIL challenges encountered, strategies used in the preparation of reading materials, and realizations of non-language teachers in the preparation of reading materials. Even if non-language teachers were not expert on this field, they were able to overcome their weaknesses and turn their weakness into their strength with the help of their co-teachers and school heads.
