This study focused on the encountered difficulties and coping mechanisms of adult elementary learners in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) in the Lapu-Lapu City Division, highlighting their educational experiences and challenges in continuing their studies. The study aimed to determine the difficulties encountered by adult elementary learners and identify the coping mechanisms they used to overcome these challenges while studying in ALS. A qualitative research design utilizing thematic content analysis was employed through semi-structured interviews with selected adult elementary learners in ALS. The findings revealed that the participants experienced financial difficulties, limited learning resources, and conflicts between personal responsibilities and academic tasks that affected their learning process. Despite these difficulties, the learners demonstrated resilience through effective time management, self-motivation, family support, and positive attitudes toward education, which enabled them to continue pursuing their studies. The study concluded that ALS serves as an important educational opportunity for adult learners by providing flexible learning experiences that support their educational goals despite existing challenges. It is recommended that ALS implementers strengthen academic support, provide sufficient learning materials, and develop programs that address the personal and educational needs of adult learners.

Bachelor of Elementary Education

This study examined the motivational drives, experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms of elementary-level adult learners in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) during the school year 2025–2026. Using a descriptive research design, data were collected through survey questionnaires and thematic analysis. Findings revealed that learners demonstrated a generally positive level of motivation in completing academic tasks such as portfolio accomplishment, module submission, understanding lessons, performance tasks, attendance, and preparation for the Accreditation and Equivalency (A&E) test . Motivation was influenced by both intrinsic factors, such as personal growth and aspirations, and extrinsic factors, including family support and future opportunities. However, learners encountered significant challenges, including academic subject difficulty, financial constraints, time limitations, and emotional and psychological barriers . Despite these difficulties, learners employed effective coping mechanisms such as self- directed learning, persistence, family support, and goal-oriented behavior, which enabled them to continue their education . The study concluded that while adult ALS learners are motivated and resilient, they require continuous academic and psychosocial support. Strengthening support systems and improving instructional strategies are essential to enhance learner engagement, confidence, and successful completion of the ALS program.
