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.

Nicole Angelic T. Dungog¹ , Sharmaine Eguna² , Aira Cristine Arlalijo³ , Hannah Jean Bongo⁴ & Elysza Kate Cacho⁵ Cordova Public College Gabi, Cordova, Cebu, Philippines Dungognicole11@gmail.com This study evaluated the literacy skills, livelihood skills, usefulness, and relevance of the Skills Development Learning Materials used in the Alternative Learning System (ALS) program at the Rotary Club of Mactan Community Learning Center (CLC). Utilizing a descriptive-evaluative research design, the study examined the current learning materials used by ALS learners to determine its level of skills development and to know the perception of learners towards the usefulness and relevance of these learning materials. Data were gathered from ALS learners using a weighted mean and standard deviation (SD) analysis to profile their perceptions and actual skill attainment. The findings revealed that the learning materials yielded an overall average mean of 2.72 (SD = 0.99) for Literacy Skills , which is interpreted as Upper Intermediate . Similarly, Livelihood Skills recorded an overall mean of 2.66 (SD = 0.96) , also falling within the Upper Intermediate range. Regarding the learners' perceptions, the materials garnered an overall mean of 2.82 (SD = 0.92) for Usefulness and 2.74 (SD = 0.93) for Relevance , both interpreted as Effective . The results suggest that while the learning materials successfully facilitates a transition toward complex knowledge application, the variance indicated by the standard deviations highlights a need for more localized and differentiated support. These findings underscore the importance of aligning learning resources with the specific vocational and contextual needs of ALS learners to ensure sustained engagement and higher levels of skill mastery.

The Department of Education, through "The Governance of Basic Education Act of 2001," includes an Alternative Education Program for Adult and Youth Learners Not in School. Based on the preceding decision, the researchers decided to conduct a study to determine the perception of ALS Teachers regarding their Motivation and Competence Level under the Alternative Learning System (ALS) in the Division of Lapu-Lapu. This Study utilized the descriptive correlational research design to obtain the data. It used a descriptive research design that deals with people's views and is relevant to the study area. Moreover, researchers obtained data by conducting a survey and interpreting the results. With the collected and analyzed data, researchers found out that ALS teachers, in terms of Motivation, are “Highly motivated, and in terms of Competence level, they are “Highly competent”. They are ' highly motivated and competent ' in terms of their duty and profession. There is no significant relationship between their profile and their intrinsic and extrinsic motivation, except for educational attainment. However, there is a significant relationship between their profile, such as marital status and educational attainment, and their competence levels. In this case, researchers recommend implementing professional development opportunities, fostering cross-disciplinary collaboration, integrating modern technology into teaching, utilizing self-recording for pedagogical assessment, promoting collaborative learning communities, exploring technology integration, and conducting future research on implementing ALS programs specifically in rural areas. These recommendations aim to enhance teaching effectiveness, student learning experiences, and the overall quality of education within the Alternative Learning System.
