Abstract:
This study investigated the teacher learning skills and adaptability to change of teachers in Rizal District. Using qualitative and quantitative methods, this paper further discussed the pedagogical skills of teachers such as communication, creativity, critical thinking, and technology literacy, and their adaptability in terms of social support, stress management, and emotional management. The data were collected from 124 secondary teachers, then they underwent thematic and statistical analyses. To test the reliability of the instrument, correction formula using the Spearman-Brown coefficient of equal length and computer-generated split-half computation were applied. For inferential problems, the PLS-SEM was used and results were generated by WarpPLS version 7.0. The teachers’ demographic profile was described using the frequency and percent distribution and finding shows that when the profile is linked to the level of adaptability to change in terms of social support, stress management and emotional management, only stress management is significantly affected by the profile. This is evidenced by a negative low coefficient of -0.212 and is backed up by the 0.007 p-value. Thus, teachers’ demographic profile does not affect their level of learning skills. It signifies that teachers have the necessary attributes of an effective facilitator of learning. Moreover, this study shows that teachers have a high level of adaptability to change, emotional management, social support, and stress management. Lastly, the level of teacher learning skills and the level of adaptability to change have no significant relationship. This implicates that teachers’ skills cannot affect their adaptive behavior.
