Enhancing Filipino Subject Teachers’ Adversity Quotient Management in Effective Classroom Teaching

This study aimed to examine the Adversity Quotient management of Filipino subject teachers in classroom teaching in Bongao. The respondents were 40 elementary teachers handling the Filipino subject. The data were collected using the researcher-made questionnaire adopted and modified from Stolz (2021), consisting of 40 questions per dimension. The results, analyzed using the weighted mean and Mann-Whitney U Test, revealed that teachers are less anxious in the control, ownership, endurance, and reach dimensions. Moreover, there is a significant relationship between ownership and endurance dimensions, while no significant relationship was observed among others. In conclusion, the researchers concluded that a lower level of anxiety among teachers is closely associated with a higher Adversity Quotient (AQ). When teachers experience less anxiety, they tend to be better equipped to face challenges and effectively manage the demands of their profession. This suggests that teachers who can regulate their anxiety are more likely to perceive situations as manageable and within their control, thereby positively influencing their AQ scores.
