Abstract:

This study used a mixed-methods approach to examine teachers’ administrative tasks and time management strategies in the San Jose North District. The data were collected from 140 teachers of 22 different elementary schools in the San Jose North District. To analyze the data in the qualitative phase, thematic analysis was applied, while the quantitative data answered the descriptive problems, which were processed by the statistical software SPSS version 26. For inferential problems, the PLS-SEM was used, and results were generated by WarpPLS version 7.0. Findings revealed that teachers handle various administrative responsibilities categorized into program management, records management, and financial management. Teachers employed prioritization, scheduled planning, and collaboration to balance these tasks with teaching, demonstrating strong time management skills. A significant relationship was found between administrative tasks and time management, particularly in program and records management, with scheduled planning having the most decisive influence. These findings highlight the need for structured strategies to support teachers in managing their dual roles efficiently. In collaboration with the LGU and DOLE, this study recommends that DepEd Occidental Mindoro develop and implement a comprehensive training program to enhance teachers’ time management skills and introduce digital tools that streamline administrative tasks. To ensure the action plan’s success, the school recommends incorporating regular coaching and mentoring sessions where experienced educators or mentors can provide personalized guidance and feedback. These sessions will help teachers refine their time management strategies and improve their teaching practices, boosting their proficiency and confidence in managing multiple responsibilities effectively.
