Navigating the Complexities of Teaching: an Exploration of the Experiences of Teachers in the Classroom

Abstract

This study explored the teachers' accounts of navigating the complexities of teaching in the classroom. This includes their everyday experiences and their reasons for such complexities. This will shed some light on their decisions as this phenomenon is understudied.   The researcher narrowed down the highlights and lowlights of the existing issues in online learning, its effectiveness, and the teachers' coping practices on the challenges that come along the way. Specifically, this research aimed to answer the following questions about the teachers' experiences in defining their roles and exploring their teaching experiences, as well as how the teachers address the challenges of teaching with different teaching complexities. To achieve the objectives of the study, I made use of phenomenology. The 7 participants of this study are teachers from Tacunan Elementary School, Tug ok District, Davao City. I used a semi-structured online interview using the coding technique to analyze the data. In the study, it was discovered that Diversity also has an impact on teamwork in the classroom. The differences among students may either encourage or discourage them from learning how to collaborate. To cope with the challenges, it was revealed that it’s difficult to teach these students since they may be unwilling to interact with others to obtain new viewpoints. An effective learning environment requires competent classroom management. When children are preoccupied with incorrect behavior, they are unable to learn. Thus, authentic teaching and learning can occur in a well-run classroom.
