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.

The study explored the implementation of modules by science teachers in Cordova District Schools during S.Y 2025-2026, during the suspension of face-to-face classes caused by the disaster. The study sought to determine the strategies and level of implementation to determine whether the teacher really administered the module and module was really a tool in learning continuity during the class disruption. The study employed a descriptive approach, using both quantitative and qualitative research methods. The findings revealed that a high mean indicated that teachers administered the modules and optimized their efforts to deliver them to learners. However, during implementation, issues and concerns arose regarding the following: insufficient resources, difficulty in monitoring student progress, and students' struggles to understand and complete lessons independently. In conclusion, despite these challenges teachers demonstrated adaptability by applying effective coping mechanisms to sustain learning. The findings recommended that modular distance learning was not an effective approach for maintaining learning continuity, due to students' attitudes and interest in self-directed learning. There was a need to strengthen support systems for students and to improve instructional materials, such as engaging tasks built into ICT resources, to capture students' interest and motivation fully.

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.

Cordova Public College ayingnotchemae.cte.cpc@gmail.com The Special Science Class (SSC) is a program that provides learners with enriched and advanced science education aimed at developing critical thinking, research skills, and scientific understanding through inquiry-based and specialized learning activities.This study used a qualitative case study approach to examine the implementation of the Special Science Class during School Year 2025–2026. The researchers involved sixteen (16) teachers from Bankal Elementary School, Basak Elementary School, Mactan Elementary School, and Marigondon Elementary School who handle Special Science Classes as key informants. Data were gathered through interviews and analyzed to identify teachers’ experiences, academic initiatives, challenges, and coping strategies The findings revealed that teachers enhance instruction through professional development, curriculum enrichment, research activities, and collaboration, which improve teaching effectiveness and student engagement. However, challenges such as limited laboratory facilities, insufficient instructional materials, and the need for continuous training were also identified. To address these, teachers practice collaboration, resourcefulness, and adaptive teaching strategies.The study concludes that strong school support, adequate resources, and continuous teacher training are essential to strengthen SSC implementation and improve science teaching and learning outcomes.

This study examined how Grade 7 and 8 teachers in five national high schools in Lapu-Lapu City perceived the Revised K-10 Science Curriculum. Using both quantitative and qualitative methods, the research assessed teachers’ views and actions, the challenges they face, and how they cope with them. Data were analyzed using weighted means and standard deviations, and a thematic analysis. The findings show that most teachers have a positive view of the curriculum, especially its role in encouraging critical thinking and student engagement. Teachers highlighted strategies such as the 5A Model, adjusting instruction based on data, and using different approaches for different students. However, they also reported challenges, including curriculum misalignment, limited time, lack of specialized training, gaps in student readiness, and insufficient resources and infrastructure. To tackle these challenges, teachers used their time wisely, made effective use of resources, adjusted materials to their students' needs, worked together to improve their skills, planned and reviewed lessons to support students, and paid attention to their own growth and well- being. Overall, the Revised K-10 MATATAG framework helps make science education more efficient, but some systemic issues remain. The study suggests that curriculum designers should provide more focused, subject-specific training to help teachers create learner-centered classrooms.
