Main Article Content
Abstract
This phenomenological study investigates the experiences of select Filipino teachers on teaching in the new normal. Through an online qualitative survey, the teachers were asked open-ended questions on their experiences in online classes. Consequently, the transcendental analysis on the gathered responses revealed three main themes—the challenges teachers encountered, the coping strategies they employed, and their use of technology. The said themes answered the research questions in the study and guided the researcher to imply several suggestions for stakeholder support, teacher training, and school administrators.
