Abstract

Abstract:

 

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused significant changes in the education system, with teachers being required to adapt to the new normal of online and blended learning. This study aimed to determine the level of satisfaction of elementary school teachers in the New Normal in a large size division in central Philippines during the SY 2021-2022. The study employed a descriptive research design, with data collected through a survey questionnaire. The findings revealed that the teachers were younger with lower average monthly income, and their level of satisfaction was moderate in terms of learning modality, very high in alternative work arrangement, and high in ancillary assignments. The study also found no significant difference in the levels of satisfaction of teachers in the new normal when grouped and compared according to age and average monthly income. The study calls for education stakeholders to address the moderate level of satisfaction of teachers in the learning modality aspect to enhance their teaching effectiveness and student learning outcomes.
