This study was conducted to determine the lived experiences of students who experienced academic burnout during online distance learning. Academic burnout is the most critical issue students face as it is linked to detrimental consequences on teenagers' mentality. The evidence was gathered and conducted last January 2022. Students from Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges Marbel, Incorporated who experienced academic burnout during online distance learning the previous academic year 2020-2021 were the participants—using Phenomenology, which aims to grasp participants' experiences via qualitative research. The study uncovered the underlying cause of their burnout during online distance learning. Nervousness and pressure from the heavy tasks to be completed impacted their education by increasing the prevalence of psychological and physical issues such as depression, anxiety, fear, and stress-related ailments. The study revealed the participants' underlying coping mechanisms throughout online distance learning; despite the hurdles, the participants exhibited their creativity via online distance learning. Finally, based on findings of the study, it is recommended for the school to create a plan to sustain the best approaches used by teachers to avoid problems causing burnout about several desirable and necessary skills. This is for the students to address their anxiety as it will become adequate student support for their students to tailor the burnout and possibly reduce it.

Anyone who desires to improve their standard of living, alleviate poverty, and have an opportunity over others regarding employment and profession needs to receive an education. However, there are various struggles that students encounter in their journey. Thus, this qualitative study scrutinized the financial challenges of grade 11 students and how they cope with them. Twelve (12) informants eligible to participate in the study were interviewed through focus group discussion (FGD). In utilizing Colaizzi’s method, three themes emerged, and these are (1) Insufficient amount of daily allowance, (2) Relying on one income, and (3) Prioritization of Wants over Needs. Most informants revealed that they only have an average daily budget of fifty pesos, with almost half of that amount going toward transportation expenses, forcing them to forgo buying food for their snacks. Also, relying on one source of income is seen as a financial challenge because some of the informants have siblings who are also enrolled in school, necessitating them to take on side jobs to supplement their income. They prioritize their wants over their necessities, another noteworthy response from the informants. They assert that they must change their perspective and put personal needs before personal wants when making financial decisions. The researchers concluded that teachers should spend some time engaging in in-depth dialogues with their students and giving them a variety of inquiries about their lives and daily activities.

The development and implementation of programs in public secondary schools is largely handled by non-teaching personnel. The management of the school put the non-teaching employees at the school to provide support services for running the institution. This study aimed to investigate and scrutinize the different challenges, coping mechanisms, and innovative strategies with regards to the improvement of the administrative management system in the selected public schools of Agusan del Sur Division, Philippines, during the academic year 2021–2022, given the present time of the COVID-19 outbreak. This study employed a quantitative approach with a descriptive-survey research design, with a total sample population of 27 out of the selected public secondary schools in Agusan del Sur. The survey questionnaire was distributed using a Google Form. To test the relationships between the variables, the study was analyzed using descriptive statistics as well as the Pearson correlation coefficient. Based on the findings, non-teaching respondents to the conduct survey were asked how they coped with the "challenging environment due to the health crisis." The respondents effectively agreed that they needed a salary increase to support their needs or other relevant finances, which was an effective coping mechanism and strategy. Furthermore, it has been recommended that the non-teaching staff promotion process should have terms and conditions established by the school administration to ensure that those who deserve it are promoted.

The ego competency model (ECM) presented to students in a structured education program uses a pre-experimental design with a one group pre- and posttest approach to evaluate whether the ego competency model will result in an increase in ego competence while improving adaptive coping. This study aims to assess the effectiveness of the ego competency model in improving students' ability to use coping mechanisms. A pre-experimental design with a pretest group and a posttest approach was chosen to carry out the study. A total of 30 students were selected using a simple random sampling technique while studying at selected private schools in Makassar for the ego competency model intervention (14 sessions; each learning session is 50 minutes). Primary outcomes will include post-intervention effects on students' use of adaptive coping mechanisms. The pretest mean for coping mechanisms was 3.77 ± 1.69, which increased to 8.97 ± 0.72 in the posttest. The results showed that the ego competency model was effective in improving students’ ability to use coping mechanisms was statistically significant, p = 0.001

The researchers utilized Colaizzi's seven Phenomenological Approaches in the research model to answer the Grand Tour Question, “How do you describe the online learning education?" Thus, the participants who took part in online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic were subjected to emotional and psychological advantages and disadvantages associated with their thoughts, feelings, and behavioral responses to the online learning experience. The study also showed that while online learning is a viable substitute for traditional education, some participants perceived environmental factors that hindered the learning process; hence, the online learning hindered and challenged participants from coping with the current circumstances, given the ability to cope. Therefore, the researcher concluded that although a certain proportion of participants stated that online learning provides a positive outcome in terms of academic performance, most of the participants still emphasized their concerns regarding their experiences in online education. Every statement was identified as being in the same situation as one another. The researchers also concluded that themes and subthemes are also interrelated; this means that when a problem a participant perceives is present, it also affects their other concerns, which can be seen as a connection. The researchers finally concluded that emotional and psychological experiences, perceived complements, perceived challenges, environmental barriers to learning, and adaptation approaches to online learning all were answered the study's main question, "How do you describe your online learning experiences?" Keywords: BSN students, online education, coping mechanisms, learning experiences.

Parents’ love is unconditional, truly selfless, and unending. It always protects, always hopes, and is always proud. Parenting life seems to be challenging, but despite all this, having children to nurture and a family to lean on is somehow fulfilling. This study explored the lived experiences of parents of learners with intellectual disabilities. The researcher conducted a virtual face–to–face interview to describe their parenting day–to–day experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms as parents of learners with intellectual disability. Limitations to examining the phenomenon are observed in this study. Six (6) parents of learners with intellectual disabilities were interviewed virtually, and the data gathered was transcribed using thematic analysis. The themes derived from this study were: Journey to Acceptance, The Art of Being Selfless, and The Key to Successful Co-Parenting. The exploration of themes described meaningfully and inspirationally the parents' journey when raising a child with an intellectual disability. Data gathered was supported by related literature and studies and the theoretical perspectives involving Parent Development Theory (PDT) and Lazarus and Folkman's stress and coping theory. The insights gained in this study will contribute to further parenting studies and special education and general education research. The findings of this study may enlighten parents of learners with intellectual disabilities, special education teachers, general education teachers, social workers, and others in support of awareness advocacy on the wonderful journey of parenting experiences, challenges, and coping mechanisms when raising a child with intellectual disability.

This study explored the lived experiences of elementary teachers with multiple ancillary functions and how they are coping with their multiple assignments. A qualitative-transcendental phenomenology method of research was utilized, and the informants were selected using a purposive sampling technique. Findings of the study revealed the experiences of elementary teachers with multiple ancillary functions such as time management, work stress, and teacher productivity. Meanwhile, in terms of how they cope with the challenges of having multiple ancillary functions, the elementary teachers specified that planning ahead of time, collaborating with colleagues, and being positive in the workplace are the ways they used to alleviate the challenges and pressure that they are experiencing. Lastly, the elementary teachers uttered that building a harmonious relationship with colleagues, having a positive mindset, offering financial support, and coming up with a working schedule could help address the challenges of having multiple ancillary functions

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic threat, the Department of Education (DepEd) established the Basic Education - Learning Continuity Plan (BE-LCP) to allow students to continue their education and teachers to conduct instruction in a safe working and learning environment. As a result, DepEd implemented the distance learning approach, including Modular Distance Learning (MDL), for the School Year 2020-2021. This paper investigated the practices, challenges, and coping mechanisms of teachers and students involved in the implementation of the MDL in Schools Division of Laoag City. This qualitative research utilized semi-structured interview guide to collect data from 20 teachers and 20 learners from elementary, junior high and senior high schools. Using the phenomenological study, data were analyzed and organized into themes. The study's major themes revealed that teachers and students began familiarizing themselves with the features of MDL but encountered challenges such as printing, distribution, and retrieval of modules, as well as monitoring of student progress on the part of the teacher and answering overloaded activities on the part of the students. They claimed, however, that they have unique coping mechanisms in dealing with the identified challenges by resolving issues independently and seeking help from family and colleagues. Finally, the Modular Distance Learning Adoption Framework (MDLAF) was developed and validated for teachers and students to effectively adopt MDL. The researchers recommended that relevant scaffolding such as capacity building, counseling and instructional support be provided to both teachers and students to effectively adopt different learning modalities such as MDL., {"references":["Angkananon, K., Wald, M., & Gilbert, L.

The study delved to ascertain the Motivation Factors and Organizational Roles: Framework for Stress Management and Productivity among Teaching Personnel in LSPU System. The researcher used the descriptive correlational design to describe the data, characteristics used and the population in the study. It was conducted at the Laguna State Polytechnic University randomly selecting 250 teaching personnel. The findings are as follows: The Respondents perception on Motivation Factors is interpreted as “Manifested”. The Respondents perception on the Role of Organization in terms of Role ambiguity, Responsibility, Career Development, are interpreted as “Observed” while the Relationship at Work is interpreted as “Highly Observed”. The Respondents’ adherence to the stress management approaches are all interpreted as “Practiced”. The Respondents’ level of productivity in terms of Research and Extension are interpreted as “Moderately Productive” while Instruction is “Highly Productive”. The regression analyses on motivation factor and role in the organization such as significantly affect the stress management approaches and productivity in terms of Research, Extension and Instruction of the faculty. Based on the findings, the following are concluded: The hypothesis that there is no significant relationship between the respondents’ motivation and their stress management approaches and productivity is rejected. The hypotheis that there is no significant relationship between the respondents’ observed role of organization and their stress management approaches and productivity is not supported. The hypothesis that the respondents’ profile, singly or in combination, does not affect relationship between the independent and dependent variables is rejected. Thus, the researcher recommends the organization could establish a “stress audit”, leaders should continue to dedicate resources to their current wellness programs. Faculty members take into account the importance of sustained “engaged inquiry”. Mentoring program of the faculty in extension undertakings should be done regularly.

The Yolanda Rehabilitation and Reconstruction Program (YRRP) is a comprehensive program spearheaded by the Department of Agriculture in Region VIII, Philippines aiming to restore the livelihood farmers and households affected by the super typhoon incident. The program aims to help the farming communities build back better from damages brought by the super typhoon Yolanda in 2013. Anchored on the general objective of the YRRP program, this study aims to document the differences in the coping mechanism between men and women farmers affected by the super typhoon. Specifically, it seeks to describe the socio-demographic and farm characteristics of the YRRP beneficiaries; assess whether men and women farmers have differences in coping mechanisms; and determine the perceived status of the farmers about their current conditions. The study provides a general picture of how men and women handled the disruptions and damages brought by the super typhoon. The determinants of coping better were investigated using different regression models. Results show that income, education, relationship status and farm ownership significantly influence the status of the farmer beneficiaries. Findings show that majority of men and women established farmer’s organizations after the typhoon. Meanwhile, the study revealed that farmers in both sexes need additional financial assistance to purchase farm inputs such as fertilizers and gardening tools which will be used in carrying out their agricultural activities. Based on the results, the YRRP beneficiaries are encouraged to continue strengthening farmers associations as one of the mechanisms to reduce vulnerability and risks to disasters like super typhoons., {"references":["Baladad, K.

The main aim of the study was to investigate different conceptions, challenges, and coping mechanisms with regards to administrative office management. To achieve this aim, the researcher selected three administrative officers within the Schools Division of City of Malolos, Bulacan during the school year 2019-2020. The study utilized a qualitative research design which aimed to describe the lived experiences of individuals in a certain phenomenon or human condition. Using transcriptions, codes, and triangulations of the data gathered, themes were extracted in the data analysis. Findings revealed that: (1) AOM was conceived as management of various documents for smooth transactions between teachers and school administrators, (2) AOM challenges were noted as encountering naughty teachers, unreturned office supplies, noisy location of the office facility and the office which is sometimes turned out to be a storage room, and (3) As AOM coping mechanisms, the respondents keep their strict mood and maintain a happy atmosphere to obtain a less stressed and a peaceful workplace. Conclusions were drawn and recommendations were offered.

Introduction : Each year more families are confronted with unique challenges related to raising a child with ASD. Parenting stress is a significant aspect of fulfilling the role as a parent, and having a child with ASD greatly influences the experienced stress. The literature review indicates that parenting stress is inversely proportional to family support and coping mechanisms. Aim: Appraising the stress level among parents of children with ASD, the coping mechanisms and the level of family support, in comparison with parents of children diagnosed with ID. Method : A group of parents of children with ASD (N=35) and a second group of children with ID (N=35) completed four question­nnaires: PSI-SF, Brief COPE, FSS and demographic questionnaire. The data was analyzed using t-test for comparison, Chi-square test for comparing frequency distributions and Pearson coefficient for correlation, with p< 0.05 level of significance. Results : Parenting stress did not differ between the two groups. The coping mec­hanisms used by the parents of children with ASD showed that increased usage of distrac­tion ( r =0.469) and disengagement ( r =0.567) increased the level of parenting stress. Family support ( r =-0.415) is a key buffer and coping mechanism for managing the stress in parents of children with ASD. Conclusion : There are no differences in the level of stress, coping mechanisms and the level of support comparing parents of children with ASD and ID.

Information technology is changing rapidly and the users’ expectations are also growing. Dealing with these changes in information technology, while satisfying the users’ needs and expectations is a big challenge. IT managers need to explore new mechanisms/strategies to enable them to cope with such challenges. The objectives of this research are to identify the significant challenges that might face IT managers in higher education institutes in the face of the high and ever growing customer expectations and to propose possible solutions to cope with such high-speed changes in information technology. To achieve these objectives, interviews with the IT professionals from different higher education institutes in Oman were conducted. In addition, documentation (printed and online) related to these institutions were studied and an intensive literature review of published work was examined. The findings of this research are expected to give a better understanding of the challenges that might face the IT managers at higher education institutes. This acquired understanding is expected to highlight the importance of being adaptable and fast in keeping up with the ever-growing technological changes. Moreover, adopting different tools and technologies could assist IT managers in developing their organisations’ IT policies and strategies., {"references":["Zainon, N., Salleh, H. and Rahim, F.
