The study is a descriptive research which looked into the issues and challenges related to the implantation of K-12 curriculum. More importantly, this research undertaking identified various problems confronting the teachers.
A survey questionnaire was used in gathering the data. Respondents were History teachers in National High Schools, Laboratory High Schools and Notre Dame Schools in some municipalities in the Province of Sulu. They were purposely chosen in the investigation of issues and challenges confronting History Teachers in the implementation of the K-12 curriculum.
The teachers-respondents were majority male at the age category 31 to 40 years old, finished only Baccalaureate Degree, and the teaching History subject for 5 to 10 years. The Male History Teachers in the High Schools of Sulu at their age category 31 to 40 years old have not pursued educational growth in spite of their 5 to 10 years in service.
The study concluded that the History teachers are not growing professionally in terms of their educational attainment. They strongly agreed in their perceptions and actual observations that problems did exist on the implementation of the K-12 curriculum to wit: Learning Resources and Needs, Teacher’s Competency: Method, Approaches and Technique, Administrator’s Competency and Teaching, Supervisor’s Competency, Monitoring, Technical Assistance, Evaluation, and Assessment.
Based on the result of the study on the Issues and Challenges Confronting History Teachers in the Implementation of K-12 curriculum in the Province of Sulu, History Teachers should improve their educational attainment, they must earn at least Master’s Degree in line with his or her major because I believed the more the teachers spent time in schooling the better their method of teaching would be developed. We need to be lifelong learners, holistically developed and globally oriented and locally grounded and that is our modern world required us a productive and competitive Filipino citizen.
