Abstract
This study aimed to unveil the teachers’ challenges in the implementation of Homeroom Guidance Program. It also looked into the similarities and differences among the participants in terms of challenges, copings and insights. This qualitative multiple case study explored the challenges, coping strategies and insights of six class advisers randomly selected for the study. Results revealed that based on the experiences of the participants, language barrier, limited parental involvement and lack of support and motivation from the administration were the challenges encountered in the implementation. But despite these challenges, some teachers managed to cope by becoming resourceful to reach out for support and collaboration with stakeholders and to persevere for the program. As for the insights gained by the participants, most of them emphasized the acceptance for positive change and for continuous improvement and embracing the holistic impact of the homeroom guidance program. This study may serve as a guide to researchers and educational leaders to have a deeper understanding about the challenging journey of teachers in shaping the course of future studies, fostering a continuous and informed discourse and proper monitoring on the evolving landscape of homeroom guidance in education for its effective implementation.
