Exploring the Lived Experiences of Private Senior High School Physical Education Teachers in Utilizing Learning Management System

Jan Emerson Latiada | Gelsa G. Dragon

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

This study explored the lived experiences of private senior high school physical education teachers in utilizing learning management system. The researcher employed a qualitative research particularly phenomenological design. These teachers were purposively chosen and interviewed using a validated interview guide in the conduct of In-Depth Interview and Focus Group Discussion. Thematic analysis was done to extract the themes from the responses of the participants. The emergent themes derived from the lived experiences of the physical education teachers included promotion of better teacher-student involvement or engagement, utilization of quality innovative and interactive tools for classroom learning, provision of pedagogical designs, learning resources and other deliverables to students, fully motivated with a user-friendly LMS, necessity of mastery of ICT skills and technology competence among teachers and facing limitations of online instruction. For the coping mechanisms of the participants, the themes emerged were demonstrating flexibility, becoming proactive teachers, upskilling in ICT, and being resilient in their pedagogical practices. As for the insights shared included the relevance of using technology in the teaching-learning process and a vision for quality education through LMS.
