| dc.description.abstract | This study entitled " The Perception of Elementary Teachers in Samal Island on No Child Left Behind Policy" was conducted to determine the perception of the elementary teachers on No child Left Behind Policy. A qualitative research design was used in this study. The participants were professional elementary teachers who have experienced of at least 5 years of teaching upon the implementation to have a firm perception of the No Child Left Behind Policy. Nine (9) respondents were selected; 3 from Kaputian Central Elementary School, 3 from Peñaplata Central Elementary School, and 3 from Angel Villarica Central Elementary School. They were asked thoroughly about their perception with the aid of validated questionnaires. Data were analyzed and interpreted using thematic coding. The findings revealed that the participants understand NCLB as a policy that promotes right to education to all Filipino and through this policy every Filipino student has greater chances of promotion. Students are being catered more by the teachers too. However, this policy leads to mass promotion which, for the participants, brings negative implications such as promotion of undeserving student and their difficulty to cope up with higher grade level. In terms of implementation, the participants exert more effort through giving remediation and interventions to the low-performers and pass the students for the sake of school performance. To all intent and purposes, non-academic factors are also considered. Thus, the researchers recommend that the policy should be reviewed too all teachers to have clearer understanding on the policy. | en_US |
