Abstract
This explored the lived experiences of Filipino teachers as frontliners of education during the pandemic in coping with the needs of the new normal. It also analyzed the challenges and motivations of teachers during the prevalence of COVID-19 pandemic. The study utilized phenomenological research and Collaizi’s seven steps of data analysis. Fifteen Filipino teachers were purposively selected and consulted to share their teaching experiences during the pandemic. The study revealed that the challenges in teaching are slow internet connection, developing, collecting and checking of modules, threats to physical and mental health, and the lack of gadgets and other learning resources. While, the teachers’ motivations in teaching include themes such as student is the heart of teaching, teacher is the breadwinner, desire and commitment to the sworn profession, and family is the strength and foundation of teaching. Hence, the motivations of Filipino teachers encourage them to improve the delivery of quality education despite the threat of COVID-19 pandemic.
Abstrak
Ginalugad nito ang karanasan ng mga guro sa Filipino bilang frontliner ng edukasyon sa panahon ng pandemya sa pagsabay sa mga pangangailangan ng bagong kadawyan. Sinuri rin nito ang hamon at motibasyon ng mga guro sa pagtuturo sa kasagsagan ng COVID-19 pandemya. Ginamit sa pag-aaral ang penomenolohikal na pananaliksik at Collaizi’s seven steps of data analysis. Labinlimang guro sa Filipino ang napili gamit ang purposive sampling at sinangguni upang magbahagi ng kanilang mga karanasan sa pagtuturo sa panahon ng pandemya. Natuklasan sa pag-aaral ang mga hamon sa pagtuturo gaya ng usad-pagong na internet connection, pagbuo, pagkolekta at pagwawasto ng modyul, banta sa pisikal at mental na kalusugan, at kakulangan sa gadget at iba pang learning resources. Samantala, ang motibasyon naman ng mga guro sa pagtuturo ay may temang mag-aaral ang puso ng pagtuturo, breadwinner si titser, kagustuhan at komitment sa sinumpaang propesyon, at pamilya ang lakas at sandigan sa pagtuturo. Kung kaya, ang motibasyon ng mga guro sa Filipino ay humihimok sa kanila upang paghusayan ang pagpapaabot ng kalidad na edukasyon sa kabila ng banta ng pandemyang COVID-19.
