ABSTRACT

This study examined elementary teachers’ experiences with implementing the MATATAG Curriculum in Parang North District. It focused on three areas: delivery of instruction, teacher specialization, and subject time allotment. The researchers used a descriptive-comparative design and included 51 elementary teachers through total enumeration. Data were gathered using a self-developed questionnaire and analyzed through the weighted mean and an independent-samples t-test. The results showed that teachers faced some difficulties, especially an increased workload that affected lesson preparation and delivery. However, teacher specialization and subject time allotment were generally not viewed as major concerns. Overall, teachers identified more opportunities than challenges in implementing the curriculum. The statistical results also showed significant differences between their perceptions of challenges and opportunities across all three areas. These findings suggest that, despite some difficulties, teachers see the MATATAG Curriculum as having potential benefits for teaching and learning.

Keywords: MATATAG Curriculum, Challenges and Opportunities, Elementary Teachers, Delivery of Instruction, teacher specialization, subject time allotment, learner-centered teaching.
