Abstract

This study was conducted to explore the voices of the teachers who were having a hard time implementing the MATATAG Curriculum in Lantapan East District, Division of Bukidnon, SY 2024-2025. in Lantapan East District, Division of Bukidnon, SY 2024-2025. The study's respondents were the selected Grade 1 and Grade 4 public-school teachers in Lantapan East District, Division of Bukidnon, SY 2024-2025. The instrument utilized in this study was a set of guide questions designed to elicit the learners’ perspectives, experiences, and opinions regarding the significant issue of child labor. Some key challenges teachers in the Department of Education (DepEd) face when implementing the MATATAG curriculum are Familiarization with New Competencies, Communication and Collaboration, Curriculum Alignment and Resource Development, Training and Professional Development Needs, and Supporting Learners' Adaptation to Change. Lack of familiarity with these competencies can result in teachers struggling to align their teaching methods and assessments with the curriculum requirements, potentially leading to ineffective curriculum content delivery and evaluation. The following are the challenges impacting student performance in implementing the MATATAG Curriculum: Engagement and Learning, Impact of Student Performance, Resource Constraints, Delayed English Reading Instruction, and Gap in Learning Outcomes. Support and Resources to Enhance the Implementation of the MATATAG Curriculum in DepEd are comprised of Collaborative Expertise Sessions and Weekly Learning Action Cells, Curriculum Support Alignment with Clear Guides, Parent-Teacher Communication Channels, Pedagogical Training on Effective Teaching Practices, and Continuous Monitoring and Evaluation through Data Analysis.
