Abstract:

The purpose of this qualitative study was to explore the experiences of teachers on the implementation of positive discipline. Thus, this study utilized phenomenological approach. Additionally, purposive sampling was used to select the participants. Moreover, an in-depth study was explored delving into the problems encountered specially by five (5) teachers at Datu Dumagkal Danial Elementary School. The study explored the challenges, coping mechanisms, and insights by teachers on the implementation of positive discipline. The challenges of participants as teachers formulated the following emergent themes: rigorous, impact of positive discipline, different perspective, and misbehaving. The coping mechanism of the teachers formulated the themes: teacher mentoring, balancing kindness and firmness, positive reinforcement, and proactive behavior support. The insights of the teachers formulated the following themes: teaching by heart, patience and understanding, individualized approach, and gains. Overall, this study provided valuable insights into the real-world experiences of teachers implementing positive discipline, highlighting the challenges they faced, the strategies they employed to cope, and the insights they gained from their practice.
