Addressing Students’ Tardiness in the New Form of Face-to-Face Classes: Narrations of Teachers

Abstract

This study focused on the teachers' accounts of addressing students’ tardiness. I narrowed down the highlights and lowlights of the existing issues in online learning, its effectiveness, and the teacher's coping with the challenges faced along the way. I used the qualitative and phenomenological approaches to achieve the study's objectives. The 10 participants of this study were from the Lumatag Elementary School, Davao City Division. The study revealed that the themes of teachers' experiences in handling students' tardiness and establishing a routine were the first themes teachers' experiences addressed. The second theme is Creating a Positive Culture. And Lack of interactive teaching. A new quality of learning and teaching was an absolute priority for education. Explore Experiences of Teachers' Coping Mechanisms to Address the Students' Tardiness in Face-To-Face Classes. Two emerging themes were revealed: Digital Teaching as an Innovative Strategy, and the second theme was In-Person Interaction. Educational Insight can draw tardiness to ensure students stay on track academically Building positive relationships with students and Collaboration with families and the wider community can help prevent tardiness. Communicate regularly with families about attendance expectations, provide resources and support, and work together to identify and address any barriers to attendance. Remember that teachers are not only sources of information but also meant to lead managers and train/develop critical social personality traits.
