Challenges, Performance of Novice TeachersAbstract
Novice teachers face significant challenges, particularly in classroom and time management and adapting to diverse student needs, which can impact their effectiveness and job satisfaction. This study examined the factors influencing the performance of 400 novice teachers in Cagayan de Oro City’s Southwest I and II Districts during the 2023-2024 school year. Using a questionnaire and analyzing data through descriptive statistics, Pearson Correlation, and one-way ANOVA, the study found that many teachers entered the profession later, with a majority aged 41 or older, predominantly female, holding Teacher II positions, and having prior experience in private schools. Results highlight that strong classroom management and the ability to adapt to student diversity are key to a novice teacher’s success. Effective classroom management contributes to a positive learning environment, enhancing student engagement and achievement, while adapting to diverse needs fosters inclusivity and reduces disparities, helping teachers manage stress and avoid burnout. Recommendations urge school leaders to create supportive environments emphasizing time management, professional development, and community engagement, employing the School Management Plan to foster teacher growth. This holistic approach aims to empower novice teachers, ultimately improving their effectiveness and contributing to better student outcomes.
