Management of Challenges in Dissemination, Implementation and Outcomes of Deped Policies among Teachers in Public Secondary Schools in the Division of Lipa City

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

In school, the instruction was given more focus. However, classroom instruction alone is not enough to prepare pupils into the necessities of life. Equally important are the different school policies, programs and activities aimed to complement classroom instruction in the attainment of the primary goal of education that of the total development of the pupil. From dissemination to implementation and evaluation of outcomes, there are challenges that confront both school heads and teachers. These challenges may be detrimental if not met and addressed and ultimately may pose problems that may affect school management, the delivery of instruction, home-school partnership, and pupils' academic performance. Considering these probable effects, We felt the need to identify and measure these challenges for preventive purposes.

METHODS

Descriptive method was used in measurement studies. The principal aim in using this method was to make a possible prediction of the future based on findings on prevailing conditions, correlations on the basis of reactions of people toward certain issues. The respondents of the study were 210 teachers from big and 103 small public secondary schools of Lipa City. They were given questionnaires to elicit their responses pertinent to the problem being investigated. The survey questionnaire was used as the main data-gathering instrument.

RESULTS

Teachers from both small and big schools in the public secondary in the division of Lipa City experienced challenges in dissemination, implementation, and outcomes of DepEd policies to a moderate extent. Teachers employed strategies to cope with the challenges they experienced in terms of dissemination, implementation, and outcomes DepEd policies to a great extent. There is a significant difference between the responses of teachers from a small school and big school. There is a significant relationship between the challenges encountered and the coping strategies employed by teachers.

DISCUSSIONS

The results showed up that to achieve good results, policy implementers should have a common goal and common ideas what to achieve in implementing the policy. To ensure that the policies are well disseminated, implemented and have a good outcome, DepEd authorities should clearly explain the details about the policy. Further research about the Management of challenges in dissemination, implementation, and outcomes of DepEd policies should be conducted.
