Abstract

This study examines the pedagogical strategies public secondary school teachers employed in Cabanatuan City for online learning. A descriptive survey design was used to gather data from teachers aged 21-30, with females constituting the majority. Most respondents were single and had less than 5 years of teaching experience. The research identified several key pedagogical strategies used by teachers: graphic organizers, self-questioning, cooperative learning, problem-solving and research activities, and mnemonics. Interestingly, the study revealed significant relationships between specific teacher characteristics and certain strategies. Age and sex were linked to the use of graphic organizers and self-questioning. Similarly, teaching experience correlated with the utilization of cooperative learning. Finally, the grade level taught influenced the implementation of problem-solving/research activities and mnemonics. These findings suggest that factors like age, sex, experience, and grade level may influence the choice of online learning strategies. Further research could explore these relationships in more detail. The study highlights the diverse approaches teachers are adopting to engage students in the online environment.
