Instructional Challenges of kindergarten Teachers in Olongapo City

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Kindergarten teachers have been found to play an important role in further


developing children’s school readiness with the passage of the American Recovery and
Reinvestment Act of 2009 or the No Child Left Behind Act (NCLBA). As a result,
research focusing on factors that predict school readiness for later success became
increasingly and most important. (Liew, 2011).

A positive consideration on kindergarten readiness were discovered by Hatcher


(2012) in a qualitative undertaking in the northeastern and southwestern United States
involving 13 teachers and 16 parents into beliefs and perceptions about kindergarten
readiness. All 13 teachers who participated in the study responded that readiness for
kindergarten was being able follow a routine which include waiting in line, following
directions, and waiting their turn. They also stated that it was important for kindergarten
students to be able to focus on the task at hand, show the ability to work in large groups,
and know how to take directives from teachers.

Prior to the enactment of NCLBA, Moore (2010) found out that in Utah, the
challenges of 55 kindergarten teachers indicated that two main issues, the disparity
between their developmentally appropriate beliefs and practices in the classroom, and
concerns about children's kindergarten readiness and transition to school. About 56% of
teachers felt a struggle in implementing their developmentally appropriate beliefs about
education, for a variety of reasons: large class sizes, district and state mandates, and lack
of resources, particularly time. Furthermore, 53% of educators conveyed concerns
regarding children's school readiness and their transition to kindergarten. These teachers
articulated transition activities they engaged in and communicated the influence of
preschool, both positive and negative, on their incoming kindergarteners. Three other
concerns and challenges were also delineated: limited teaching time; feelings that
kindergarten curriculum is becoming too academic, particularly that curricular

expectations have been raised and an emphasis placed on literacy; and issues surrounding
parental involvement, both in and out of school.

In Ankara, it was revealed by a selected 223 teachers that challenges in


kindergarten teaching ranges to evaluation and physical facilities followed by the ones
related to planning science and math activities, organizing field trips, providing parent
involvement and inclusion aside form problems related to physical facilities experienced
by preschool teachers working in public kindergartens were significantly differed
compared to teachers working in private preschools. (Erden, 2010).

Another study of Dalli (2011) that located in New Zealand discusses elements of
the teacher’s professional practice that contributed to the curriculum: her understanding
that curriculum planning required relational involvement and being part of the children’s
life within the kindergarten community; that professional practice required teamwork and
attunement to one’s colleagues; and that acting professionally was about being fully
present and ‘bringing everything together’. It argues that behind the apparent ‘trivia’ of
the teacher’s day there were layers of activity that maintained a fabric of connections that
sustained the open possibilities. In this way, the teacher’s role as a curriculum planner
emerges as a finely balanced role that is creative and agentic rather than prescribed by
narrow curriculum goals.

Tan (2017) study that Singapore complete 1 year of preschool before entering
primary school. However, preschool education (PSE) is not compulsory and is provided
primarily by the private sector. Taking the national agenda for reforming PSE at the start
of the twenty-first century as the point of departure, this paper describes and discusses the
policies and strategies that have been introduced and implemented for preschool quality
enhancement in the past 15 years. Three major waves of preschool policy reviews were
undertaken in 2000, 2008, and 2012 attesting to the seriousness the government attaches
to improving PSE for encouraging a strong start for every child. The key
recommendations of these reviews were related to uplifting teacher, center, and program
quality, and enhancing the affordability and accessibility of PSE. Opportunities and
challenges associated with implementing recommendations for quality enhancement are
discussed and suggestions to further enhance PSE in Singapore are explored.

According to the Brofenbrenner (2005) since teachers are human beings, they are
also being affected by many factors and these factors are interrelated each other. For him,
sometimes there are things out of teachers’ control. The problems faced by teachers
during curriculum implementation, individual teachers will always not be the responsible
for. To illustrate, in the study, conducted by Wai-Yum (2003), it was aimed to find out
the problems of early childhood teachers experienced in the process of top-down
curriculum reform at a local kindergarten in Hong Kong. It was discovered that teachers
were not always the source of the problem. Sometimes, the problems occurred as a result
of external factors such as frequent supervision and intervention of the principal into the
classroom teaching, the lack of getting answers from principals regarding the new
curriculum reform, lack of support and encouragement from the administrators and
parents.

Antonio & Zuniga (2017) conducted a study aimed to determine the motivational
needs and performance of the kindergarten teachers of the Division of Olongapo City for
the school year 2016-2017.The respondent of the study consisted of 25 kindergarten
teachers. The study proved that there’s no significant relationship between motivational
needs and teaching performance of the kindergarten Teachers. Base on the foregoing
findings and conclusions, the following recommendations: 1.) Provide equipment the
kindergarten teachers can use in their teaching and learning techniques; 2.) The
administrators should aid, support, benefits and opportunities for self-development in
form of trainings: 3.) There should be additional incentives to be given to the teachers
who will be rated Outstanding in their performance so the teachers will be encouraged
and motivated to do their job.

Theoretical Framework of the Study

The Yerkes – Dodson Law suggests that performance and arousal are directly
related. In simpler terms, increase in arousal to a certain level can help to boost
performance. Once the arousal crosses the optimal level, performance of the individual
starts to diminish. The level of difficulty of the task is also another factor influencing the
performance of an individual. The skill level of an individual also effects his/her
performance on the given task. A highly trained individual, confident in his skill, is more
4
Instructional Challenges of kindergarten Teachers in Olongapo City
likely to cope well in high pressure situations, as the person would be able to rely on his
well-rehearsed responses. Self-discipline and professionalism should help avoid
performance issues. Training, improvement of the required skill and experience can help
avoid performance issues.

Conceptual Framework

Instructional Challenges for kindergarten Teachers aided with Training Program


that provide and can ease the work of a teacher during teaching- learning process. The
need for kindergarten Teachers to upgrade themselves is very important. Since they are
the foundation of knowledge, skills and attitude of the kindergarten children, it is
necessary that they perform well in their job. Hence, the Administrators should provide
the needs of the kindergarten Teachers to attain goals and other necessities through their
works as much as possible .If they could achieve the needs for their teaching learning
process, Physical facilities, Instructional materials and the support of their
Administrators, Thus though descriptive analysis of this condition it is an opportunity to
offer a training program that suits the needed skills for them to cope up and their
performance will be correctly strengthened and the accomplishment of the institutional
goals and objective will be fully realized.

Antonio and Zuniga (2017) recognize the value of motivational needs among their
teaching staff as a basic ingredient in achieving efficacy and effectiveness in the teaching
learning process. A good teaching staff that is cooperative and committed to their tasks
presupposes positive outcomes. The extend of commitment the teachers make is largely
dependent upon the administrator’s leadership behavior. The basic challenge imposed on
him is on how he could stimulate the teachers to release their potentialities which could
result to efficiency and effectiveness.

METHODOLOGY
Research Design
The descriptive survey of research was utilized in this study to gather the
necessary data and information. Significantly, descriptive is designed to assess a test at
one certain point in time without trying to make presumption (NEDARC,2016). It
involves descriptive individuals, groups or situations or collection of data that will give
an interpretation.
According to Alberto et al (2011), descriptive method is also known
as statistical research, it describes data and characteristics about the population
or phenomenon being studied. This research method is used for frequencies, mean
and other statistical calculation. Often, the best approach prior to writing
descriptive research, is conducting a survey investigation. The characteristics of
this method were used a tool to determine the instructional challenges of kindergarten
teachers.

Respondents of the study
Complete enumeration was used for this study, where all members of the whole
population are measured. A complete enumeration-based survey is often preferred for
certain types of data, solely because it is expected that it will provide complete statistical
coverage over space and time. However, The Respondents to the full survey represented
26 schools in the Olongapo City. In this study, due to the absences of 4 teachers:71
teachers out of 75 teachers whose response were analyzed for the study. For
demographic information please refer to appendices A, table 1.

Research Instrument
A questioner-checklist served as the research instrument. The questioner consists
of 5 parts. The questioner was used when I was in college in statistic and it was validated
under of Cronbach’s Alpha which is measured of internal consistency, that is how closely
related a set of items are as a group. It is considered to be a measure of scale reliability.
A “high reliability” value for alpha does not imply that the measure is unidimensional. If,
in addition to measuring internal consistency, that provided evidence that the scale in
question is unidimensional, additional analyses can be performed under through a dry-run
or pilot testing to the kindergarten teachers of Sta-Rita Elementary School and Balic-
Balic Elementary School last June 3,2019 that are not included in the actual respondents
the result is 0.86 which is a " high reliability”.
Part 1 Contains the needed data about the teacher profile which included such as
sex, years of handling kindergarten classes and numbers of trainings attended.
Part 2 Deals with the teaching learning process of the teacher. Management of
their time in kindergarten classes, Preparation of lessons in handling kindergarten classes.
Management of classroom discipline of pupils in kindergarten levels. Organization of
lessons to be used in teaching pupils with different learning abilities and preparedness.
Mastery of different subject matters handled in kindergarten levels.
Part 3 Deals with the Physicals Facilities of the School, Classroom and
environment.

Classroom/behavior management is one of the most important things to
14
Instructional Challenges of kindergarten Teachers in Olongapo City

master in your classroom. Having solid behavior management helps maintain


a positive classroom environment while enabling teachers and students to
accomplish learning. (Freibrun 2019)
Kindergarten and preschool teacher must teach children all classroom
expectations from the very beginning-from lining up, to sitting and listening, and writing.
So if teaching Kindergarten or preschool, how important it is to be patient, and don’t get
frustrated is progress is slow. The less time your pupils have been in school before, the
longer it will take. But setting up the procedures and expectations will have huge pay-offs
in the end.
(Quintina, 2011)

Teacher teach the basic knowledge, attitudes, and skills to young learners. They
provide time for children to discover and explore. They must master different subject
matter that have a purpose and that challenge children. (Garcia 2015)

a lowest rating of (2.63) In programming for the preschool children, we consider several
factors regarding the pre-kindergarten child. We know that environmental factors greatly
influence the child’s quality of development. We know that the first five years of a child
are the most susceptible to environmental influences.
According to research, a benefit of multimedia learning is that it takes advantage
of the brain's ability to make connections between verbal and visual representations of
content, leading to a deeper understanding, which in turn supports the transfer of learning
to other situations. All of this is important in today’s 21st century classrooms, as we are
preparing students for a future where higher-level thinking, problem solving and
collaborative skills will be required. (Tabunan, 2012)
It appears that the physical facilities in the school setting go a long way to
motivate students to learn. Physical facilities in any school system range from the school
plant, that is the school buildings, classroom, library, laboratories, toilet facilities,
learning materials to other infrastructures that would likely motivate students towards
learning. Experience has shown that most of the physical facilities that are germane to
effective learning/academic performance of students appears not to be sufficient in our
public secondary schools today. Those available seem not to be of standard quality, some
seem to lack maintenance culture, while some are in dilapidated conditions. (Akomolafe,
2016)
Ajayi (2000), emphasized on the need for the availability of physical materials in
the school system in other to boost teachers’ job performance. This would, invariably,
enhance academic performance of students.

presentations and overhead projectors are used as teaching aids. These ICT facilities
enable to create a sense of interest in students as they see and learn.

The role of instructional materials is to glue information into learner's mind as


what is seen is understood more than what is heard. During the formative years, learners
add increasing qualities of knowledge to what is already learnt through explorations as
they grow and expand horizon on the quality of content mastered. (Wambui, 2013)

According to NAEYC (2005), there are standards for serving a good quality of
education. Therefore, there is the need for teachers to meet those standards especially,
when their role is related to curriculum implementation. However, knowledge in early
childhood curriculum is more challenging and heavier as greater responsibility creates on
the shoulders of the early childhood educators. It appears that despite what is planned and
documented in the early childhood curriculum, practices of teachers and events going on
in the classroom settings are not being realized. That notwithstanding the above, the
report of Curriculum Research and Development Division (2006) holds the rationale that,
early childhood curriculum has been enacted to meet the developmental needs of children
at the formative years and also to help children come out with tremendous potentials and
experiences covering various area of human experiences. However, it appears in their
report that the early childhood curriculum is not given the necessary recognition by pre-
school teachers. Besides personal elements of the teachers, environmental factors are
influential in curriculum implementation. Fishman, Gallagher, Penuel and Yamaguchi
(2007) found that allocating time for teachers to plan curriculum implementation and
providing technical support is a necessity for promoting program implementation. As
teachers recognize their importance in the design and administration of quality EC
programs, they will be of great assistance to school administrators in ensuring provision
of quality services to the children and families in their communities. Teachers and
administrators can forge a campaign to offer quality early childhood education and
intervention for prekindergarten populations.

The current data suggest that in Nebraska there exists administrative support for
Early Childhood programs, a recognition that young children and families are in need of
special quality services in the community and public schools, and an awareness that more
19
Instructional Challenges of kindergarten Teachers in Olongapo City
can be done to coordinate school run Early Childhood efforts with those of various
community agencies. No one professional can assume full responsibility for all aspects of
quality EC programs, however. The findings in the present study raise questions
regarding the extent to which EC teachers perceive the quality of their Early Childhood
administration and their own roles in public school programs for infants, toddlers, and
preschool children. Future research is needed to clarify how kindergarten teachers may
differ from other EC program educators and how teachers in infant programs versus
teachers in preschool-age programs differ in their needs and perceived roles in
administering public school EC programs. Furthermore, the avenues and barriers to
productive EC teacher–administrator collaboration need to be explored in order to
identify strategies for advancing this necessary.

According to the latest Education Indicators in Focus brief, the average share of female
teachers across OECD countries increased from 61% in 2005 to 65% in 2010 and to 68%
in 2014, in all education levels combined. Around 82% of primary school teachers and
63% of secondary school teachers are women. Some policy makers see this trend as a
cause for concern, citing, among other things, that the lack of male teachers and role
models might play a role in the decline of learning outcomes among young boys. But it
seems fair to say that few people would be concerned about a similarly skewed gender
imbalance in other professions if it benefited men.

that all significant are above 0.05 stating that there is no significant difference in the level
of Instructional challenges according to the length of teaching experience is rejected.
With the result, it affirms the study of Manlongat (2010) and Lalas (2011) who assumed
that the length of teaching experience dictates the sufficiency of trainings needed in
coping with the rigidities and strains of the teaching profession.

Based on our review of 30 studies published within the last 15 years that analyze
the effect of teaching experience on student outcomes in the United States and met our
methodological criteria, we find that: 1. Teaching experience is positively associated with
student achievement gains throughout a teacher’s career. Gains in teacher effectiveness
associated with experience are most steep in teachers’ initial years, but continue to be
significant as teachers reach the second, and often third, decades of their careers. 2. As
teachers gain experience, their students not only learn more, as measured by standardized
tests, they are also more likely to do better on other measures of success, such as school

attendance. 3. Teachers’ effectiveness increases at a greater rate when they teach in a


supportive and collegial working environment, and when they accumulate experience in
the same grade level, subject, or district. 4. More experienced teachers support greater
student learning for their colleagues and the school as a whole, as well as for their own
students. (Kiny and Podolsky 2016)

Philippines which are formally known as the republic of the Philippines is a


nation which offers a varied range of teacher training programs to upgrade teaching skills
of aspiring teacher.

Support for beginning teachers is often uneven and inadequate. Even if well
prepared, new teachers often are assigned to the most challenging schools and classes
with little supervision and support. Nearly half of all teachers leave the profession in their
23

first five years, so more attention must be paid to providing them with early and adequate
support, especially if they are assigned to demanding school environments. Mentoring
and coaching from veteran colleagues is critical to the successful development of a new
teacher. Great induction programs create opportunities for novice teachers to learn from
best practices and analyze and reflect on their teaching. It is critical for veteran teachers
to have ongoing and regular opportunities to learn from each other. Ongoing professional
development keeps teachers up-to-date on new research on how children learn, emerging
technology tools for the classroom, new curriculum resources, and more. The best
professional development is ongoing, experiential, collaborative, and connected to and
derived from working with students and understanding their culture. (Edutopia, 2008)

THE PROPOSED TEACHERS' ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE TECHNOLOGY SUPPORTED
TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN EARLY LANGUAGE, LITERACY, AND NUMERACY
FOR KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS (ELLN) WITH THE INTEGRATION OF MULTI-MEDIA IN
OLONGAPO CITY.

I. RATIONALE

THIS PROPOSED TEACHERS' ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM FOR THE TECHNOLOGY


SUPPORTED TEACHER PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN EARLY LANGUAGE, LITERACY, AND
NUMERACY FOR KINDERGARTEN TEACHERS (ELLN) WITH THE INTEGRATION OF MULTIMEDIA IN
OLONGAPO CITY is designed in order to address the teachers' need to sustain their Instructional
challenges in all four (4) areas. The results of their Instructional Challenges using the Perceptions
on the Level of Difficulty, show that all areas are given Moderately Difficult. Therefore, the
hierarchy of the teachers' level of difficulty of their Instructional Challenges which are Teaching-
Learning Process, Physical Facilities, Instructional Materials and Administrative Support, needs
to be strengthened by this program. ELLN with the integration of Multi-Media is a blended course
on early literacy and numeracy instruction for Kindergarten teachers. It is a Teacher Professional
Development (TPD) initiative in support of the Department of Education’s Early Language,
Literacy, and Numeracy (ELLN).

II. STATEMENT OF PURPOSE

In DepEd Order No. 12, Series of 2015, the Department recognizes that the
foundation of learning is in a child's early language, literacy, and numeracy skills. These
skills, according to DepEd, do not develop naturally, and thus require careful planning
and instruction. There is thus, a need, for children to have access to age-appropriate and
culturally-sensitive materials to help them develop the habits of reading, speaking,
writing, and counting.

Multimedia is the multi dimensions of media, which can be an amalgamation of


text, sound effects, light, animated figures, still images, videos and interactive content
forms. Multimedia is simply multiple forms of media integrated together. Multimedia is
simply multiple forms of media integrated together, i.e. the collection of audios, sounds,
text, graphics etc. which develop in programs. Multimedia increased independence,

decision making, and consolidation of children’s prior knowledge, critical literacy and
specific number and language concepts in the students. Multimedia plays a very
important role in assisting students in learning processes. In present investigation to
identify the role of different types multimedia devices and their positive influence in
early childhood education.
OBJECTIVE
• Apply the principles of early language, literacy, and numeracy development in teaching-
learning process.
• Discuss the components of balanced literacy and numeracy instruction

• Plan and implement with the use of multimedia in balanced literacy and numeracy instruction
for Kindergarten learners.

Achieving these objectives should enable to develop reading and writing skills, critical thinking,
and problem-solving skills in kindergarten learners.

process, Teaching Learning Process that organization of the lessons to use in teaching
pupils with different learning abilities and preparedness.

In conclusion, various studies have been conducted focusing on the problems of


kindergarten teachers regarding the instructional challenges. In order to achieve the high-
quality standards in early childhood education, problems of kindergarten teachers should
continue to be analyzed well and realistic practical solutions should also be offered to
increase effectiveness in curriculum implementation. In this context the present study is
expected to make a contribution to the literature by analyzing the problems of teachers in
detail and taking the ideas of preschool teachers regarding the possible solutions.
