Leading While Teaching: A Phenomenological Study on the Dual Roles of Novice School Heads in the Hinterlands
Jeano Sibay | Nancy Gonzales
Discipline: Education
Abstract:
The purpose of this qualitative phenomenological study is to obtain an in-depth understanding of the lived experiences
of novice school heads in their dual roles of both teaching and leading schools in the hinterlands in Langilan District,
Davao del Norte Division, who were chosen and qualified in the inclusion criteria set to become participants for the
in-depth interview. I utilized thematic analysis to examine the transcribed data from the participants' responses. This
involved categorizing and coding the data to identify key themes. On the lived experiences of novice school heads in
their dual roles of both teaching and leading the hinterland schools, these essential themes emerged, namely: struggling
from limited human, financial and other resources, multitasking as leader and teacher, learning from own experience
and trainings, struggling from risky travel to the school, and leaving classes for administrative tasks. Regarding their
coping mechanisms, after a careful analysis of the transcript of the participants' responses, the following themes
emerged: building support system, crafting a needs-based school improvement plan (SIP), communicating with
parents, and delegating workload. Finally, on their insights the following essential themes surfaced: allocation of
opportunities for professional development, allocation for additional teacher item and support staff, procurement of
school facilities and equipment, designation of school in charge without teaching load and be resilient.
