Abstract
This study intended to describe the challenges encountered by Non-Araling Panlipunan teachers Teaching Araling Panlipunan (AP). It sought to identify the coping mechanism, interventions and identify capability building programs as a solution to the problems. The study employed qualitative phenomenological research to examine individual life experiences of Non-Araling Panlipunan Teachers who have specialization-workload mismatch. Key informants underwent an in-depth interview using open-ended questions. The data collected where translated and analyzed, unveiling fifteen primary themes from the narratives of the participants. The challenges encountered by the non-Araling Panlipunan teachers who are teaching AP are the following: For content: making learning relevant and engaging, unfamiliarity, lack of knowledge, double the effort and adjustment. For lesson preparation: uncertain and at a lost; finding the perfect fit; shift code; learning resource inadequacy and identifying the essentials. Content-realignment woes and Higher Order Thinking Skills (HOTS) dilemma are the challenges encountered in terms of assessment. The participants coped with these challenges by equipping themselves, maximizing the learning and online tools, and calling a friend. Schools provided interventions like continuous training, earn relevant units and Learning Action Cell (LAC) session as an avenue to mentor non-Araling Panlipunan teachers. Non-Araling Pteachers handling AP are facing problems which their adaptability. With the right amount of support from external factors, schools and internal motivations like passion, initiative, flexibility and open-mindedness, problems in teaching will be lessened. The research proposed that the Department of Education conduct a training on content and pedagogy to equip non-Araling Panlipunan teachers in the field.
