Abstract
This study seeks to contribute more to knowing the challenges and to how the teachers assigned in remote areas and to how they cope with it. In line to that, this may contribute as well to know how efficient the government projects for the education sector of the country are, especially for the public schools in the remote areas of the Philippines. Phenomenological Approach: To fully explore the subjective lived experiences of public elementary school teachers in the distant town of General Luna, Quezon, the study will use a phenomenological research approach. A qualitative research approach called phenomenology focuses on a person's actual experiences in the world. Learning from the experiences of others is an effective strategy for researchers studying health professions education (HPE). The philosophical and methodological distinctions between hermeneutic and transcendental phenomenological methods are explained in this article. Successful phenomenological research requires an understanding of the ontological and epistemological assumptions. The two primary phenomenological research requires an understanding of the ontological and epistemological assumptions. The two primary subtypes of phenomenology are described in depth, along with examples. A potent research technique for examining difficult HPE problems is phenomenology. HPE scholars may take into consideration the usefulness of phenomenology while addressing their research questions by comprehending its nature and matching the research topic with the researcher's philosophy (Neubauer et al., 2019). Finally, implementing flexible and comprehensive assessment methods aimed at promoting diverse evaluation strategies beyond traditional testing, including performance-based assessments and project-based learning. DepEd, educational NGOs, and teacher training institutes led this initiative, ensuring teachers were equipped with the necessary training to assess students effectively in diverse learning environments. Together, these actions aimed to improve the overall educational experience for teachers and students in remote areas by addressing resource gaps, enhancing professional skills, and promoting culturally responsive education. The study aims to understand the lived experiences of public elementary school teachers in General Luna, Quezon through an iterative coding and thematic analysis process. The researchers will analyze field notes and interview transcripts to identify recurring themes and patterns. The coding process organizes data, while thematic analysis explores underlying patterns. This approach ensures a thorough understanding of teachers' experiences, contributing to existing knowledge on challenges faced by educators in remote areas. The iterative coding and thematic analysis process also enhances the credibility and trustworthiness of the research outcomes.
