For the teachers' interview, we asked four teachers to answer some of our questions about the following topics:
challenges in teaching their subject
struggles that their students face in academics
The teachers were divided into two groups based on the subject they teach (Math or Science)
“Meron kaming mga kagamitan pero limitado lang ang mga ito.” - Teacher 1
“Mayroon kaming mga materyales subalit limitado lang.” - Teacher 2
“Mahirap din kasi kulang ang oras namin.” - Teacher 3
“Kailangan talaga namin ng mas mahabang oras, hindi lang 40 na minuto, hindi ito kakasya.” - Teacher 2
Survey responses used a Likert scale rating where...
1 - extreme struggle
5 - extreme ease
in teaching or performing an experiment in class.
