No Update on Civil Status: A Narrative inquiry of Two Female Calatagueno Teachers with Lifelong Love for Teaching

Abstract

INTRODUCTION

Dedication and commitment are inevitable in the teaching profession. Dedication to purpose and commitment to advocacy are the core strengths of those who are in the teaching profession. Teachers among the other professionals are apparently focusing more on their profession. As a result, many teachers especially female teachers tend to choose or rather end up with single blessedness life.

METHODS

Employing the qualitative research design, an in-depth interview was used as a data gathering technique. This involved intense probing for deeper meaning and understanding of the responses. The interview guide was used as a device through collected informative knowledge such as questionnaires samples and interview techniques.

RESULTS

Both of the participants pointed out that teaching is not the major factor in why they remain single. Furthermore, they also stressed out that being single is their personal choice. Civil status of a certain teacher does not affect his efficiency and effectiveness. Dedication and commitment in teaching do not rely on civil status but on the attitude towards work.

DISCUSSIONS

The study will be beneficial to the teachers and future educators for the results of this study may inspire them to be the best teachers who develop and mold young minds and lives.
