Abstract

This study will be primarily focusing on the effects of having young teachers that
their ages are not that far to the Senior High school students. Furthermore, it ought to
explain the effectiveness of the teachers teaching technique, comprehend social engagement
between young teachers in relation to their students inside and outside the classroom,
evaluate their skill and potential towards teaching their students in order for them to produce
quality education, and finally to scrutinize if having comfort because of having near age gap
does affect academic learning. It is an applied research for it can become a help and
assistance to teachers on what their student feel towards them. It is also a very current issue
especially on the university and the department. The researchers used the method of
interview in order for them to gather respondents information. After that, the next data
gathering procedure is to code. Coding is a process of classifying and identifying themes in
selecting labels/code to index them. While theming (is the way of gathering similar
information) an aspect of participants and patterns in data sets that are collaborated to
specific research. Through this research by the use of the related literature and the
respondents answer the can come up to a conclusion on what they have evaluated.

INTRODUCTION

In this recent years, established teachers continually note that the workforce
is increasingly filled with inexperienced young teachers, fresh from the university
because of the K-12 program. The Philippine Educational System is undergoing a
major overhaul that shifts from a 10-year education to 12 years known as Enhanced
Basic Education Curriculum or K-12 (Acosta, 2017). Due to the law signing last May
15, 2013 by the former president Benigno Aquino of the Enhanced Basic Education
Act, schools have increased their classrooms and facilities, provided new class and
learning materials like books, and especially newly hired young teachers fresh from
their respective universities.

The question is, can experience tell whether a teacher is good at his
profession? Or was it just a psychological belief that makes people believe that age
is a hindrance for teachers to conduct quality lectures? This research tends to
discern on how effective does the younger teachers technique of teaching to their
students. In a degree where does using technology as form of strategy can outsmart
the ways of older teachers. As well as if they have procured knowledgeableness and
erudition. Furthermore, this research seeks to identify how well does their bond and
relationship with students in terms of their age adjacency. This research will
genuinely value both perspective and sentiment of both parties of the students and
teachers.

The Senior High school students are the pioneers and are added to the
curriculum in order for them to have prior and basic knowledge based on their
strand. This means that the teachers who’ll be teaching them should be skilled and
professional.
 University of the Assumption 6

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

“Younger teachers have a natural affinity with digital learning and interactive
platforms.” (Promethean, “Are teachers getting younger? The state of the school
workforce and its impact on teaching methods, 2017”, February 8) This means that
they nurture the use of discern teaching and student handling, and surmise in
captivating pupils with interactive, auditory and sensory experiences. Schools are
enveloping technology to efficient procedures around teacher/ parent feedback. This
reduces reduction of paper use tactics, more cloud based groundwork and increase
electronic consumption. Since students are more likely gadget-users, they are
insisted to keep up the current computerized tool just to satisfy these needs. But
they don’t become axiomatically exceptional teachers, they are just more acquainted
with devices that charter the electronically inhibited children. More accustomed
teachers can distinguish extensive trends and have manifested the cadence of
subjects. These teachers, without decades of industry perspicacity, may not
apprehend that their modern way of teaching. With this, it can be realized that
technological tools can never replace teachers.

“New teachers need to learn how to think on their feet, size up situations and
decide what to do, study the effects of their practice, and use what they learn to
inform their planning and teaching” (Ball & Cohen, l999). Teachers should involve
their self on their work. Inside the classroom they become parent-like where most
likely they ought to give affection and concern to their students (either academic,
esteem, etc.) but with limitations. They need to know when to stop. Their way of
teaching should also be considered and included as well for if teachers says that,
“My subject is difficult” then he seized to fail his profession as a subject teacher.

“Young students like and identify better with young teachers.” (Ajarn, 2018,
April 30) Students can be excessively comfortable with their teachers where their
closeness is very tight that hey treat their teachers as fellow casual friends inside
and outside the classroom where formality and respect is being forgotten. As can be
 University of the Assumption 7

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

observed students with younger teachers are less likely to be that behaved for they
visualized that it’s just their sibling who’s just lecturing them. Age gap is not that far,
that’s why some students are presumptuously more audacious when interrupting
class hours, answer to their teacher very impolitely and rude.

“Young teachers have to battle not just inexperience, but also their youth
among the young.” (Bibo, n.d.) said that, the new teachers are genuinely attempting
to endeavor to the unbefitting attitude and prelude of some of their juvenile
students. The informal and inappropriate teacher-student relationship takes on
another turn for the amount of demand and pressure is put on the teacher. People
may come up into a conclusion of creating that the relationship upon them are very
close and favoritism may seem present. Where that would create a very vast and
devastatingly negative feedback and outcome on their effectiveness as educators.

This applied research studies on the young teachers in Senior High School on
how they superintend their students as new timer in teaching. Specifically, the
researchers target to identify the following objectives and goals.

First is to comprehend how the comparative effectiveness of the teaching

techniques that is currently being conducted by the teachers for academic purposes.
Succeeding, is to understand and interpret social engagement between young
teachers and students inside and outside the classroom.

Following is to assess if these newly teaching teachers do have enough ability

and potential to teach the Senior High School students.

And to ultimately associate what is the preference of the Grade 11 Senior

High School students on their young teachers, if comfortability because of the
minimal age boundary affects learning and academic performance.
 University of the Assumption 8

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

These are people that will primarily benefit the chosen researchers study
which will grant them the observance and evaluation.

First are the students. Students are also involved in this research because the
Senior High School students are becoming complacent with their teachers due to
their near age gap unlike their junior high school and elementary teachers their age
gap are not that close unlike senior high school students some of who are usually
more advanced in age resulting to a more natural environment for the students.

Furthermore, teachers. Teachers are the primary protagonist of this research.

Their engagement and social skills are being assessed by the researchers whether it
can result to a more apprehended academic assistance, a more effective and
modernized and finesse technique that leads to willingness in listening, and social
engagement with their students for some students may disrespect them resulting to
disobedience, as well as treating their teachers as their intimate friend due to the
minimal age boundary.

Schools are also involved in this research because they employ teachers who
just graduated when they always have the option to hire teachers who are
experienced, tested and more advanced in age to eliminate the students to befriend
them on a point where formality is absent and vanishing. They may observe if does
younger teachers can educate students effectively while developing relationship
bond, or the opposite.

Future researchers can benefit from this for they will enrich future
researchers in their findings and will further give them the information they need. In
this research as they already have their basic and provided information and data’s.
They may either make this research narrower and more specific or they may change
it unto other related topic. They may either propose a more specific topic relating to
young teacher’s performance to universities.
 University of the Assumption 9

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

The insistence of the researchers is to provide resplendent and veritable

information through the use of professional’s opinion or the related literature as well
as the respondents answer in order for us to accomplish a scholarly study relating
how young teachers affect the Senior High School Students having teachers that
ages near to them. In this perusal scrutinization, it fundamentally pivots its center of
focus among the Grade 11 students studying at the University of the Assumption
that intends to ascertain as well as apprehend the interpretation of data’s relating to
the praiseworthy aspects and shortcomings of having teachers that has an alongside
age distinction among their students.

The researchers chose Grade 11 students in the University of the Assumption

because since they are unaccustomed and newfangled to the Senior High School
curriculum for them to be taught by young teachers, they may seemingly recognize
and elucidate what they feel and have minimally observed towards the new young
learning area teachers. They have distinguished some differences and distinction in
terms of social bond as well as teaching adroitness regarding to techniques. In this
study, it can be contemplated on what eventuate on the environment and the
psychological behavior of the teachers and the students that are in the same age
bracket. The study understand how the young teachers and students treat each
other in different aspects either academic or social.

METHODOLOGY

Research Design

The researchers used qualitative research. A qualitative research is a type of

research that targets the different convictions of the respondents and new
conclusions are being developed for the use of the future researchers. In additions,
qualitative research is a type of social science research that gathers and deals with
non-numerical data that hopes to find the meaning from these data that helps us to
understand social life through the study of aimed population, according to Ashley
Crossman.

The nature of this study is exploratory research for related literature we

found is finite and we want to explore about the topic but it will not cease it.
Exploratory research is conducted when a problem is not explained well or there are
no latter studies about this certain topic. It adds new ideas or future research. It is
also used to find current problems but are not yet studied, according to Yousef. The
researcher used this nature of research to help them cultivate new information for
them to understand the problem clearly.

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Instrument

This research has been decided to use the method of interview in order to
collect a data information through questions. That information can be utilized and
compiled in order to succeed and finally provide a conclusion. This the following:
Interview Method The researcher will use the method of interview in order to gather
and collect a data information. Every five students in different strand in Grade 11
student and few teachers in the University of the Assumption will be participating in
this study. The strand that has been chosen is the strand of STEM, ABM, HUMSS,
and GAS. This year/ department has been chosen because they are not that far in
the age of the young teacher. The researchers also included as a part of our
participant some selected teachers from the Senior High School Department of our
university. For what was said, that this research does not only trying to be biased on
what the students feel, rather include the educators on what they feel towards their
students too. This may contemplate the concept that on a classroom, both educators
and learners need to be assessed.

Basically, the first procedure is to collect a data information from the chosen
10 students and 3 teachers. Specifically, the respondents will be undergoing in the
method of interview wherein the researchers will have asked the participant the
provided questions, also with the same procedures in the young teachers that are
teaching the Grade 11 students. This research has been decided to use the method
of interview in order to collect as many, personal, and real answers that came from
them. Researchers will ask questions in front of the interviewees through verbal way
of asking together with the use of a mobile device’s voice recorder in order to
completely have a conclusion. This data information can be utilized and compiled in
order to succeed and finally provide an ultimate conclusion.

Data Analysis

The researcher has decided to use the method of theming which is according
from Michi Komori is Researchers use thematic analysis as a means to gain insight
and knowledge from data gathered. Through the method of thematic analysis to
treat and purify data, researchers will be granted a more comminuted evaluation and
contemplation. The findings are not pre-determined and foreseen by researcher,
rather after using their statistical data from their respondents and selected sources,
they can validate and corroborate themes.

Data Gathering Procedure

The researchers used an interview type of research to gather information and

data that comes from their participants. Through this, it will help the researchers
gather information in most effective and easiest way. The researchers gather all the
information they got to their participants and use theming process to gather all the
same information and to know what is the most outstanding answer among the all
participants. The researchers use coding and theming for them to analyze the
information and data they gathered from their participants. Coding is a process of
classifying and identifying themes in selecting labels/code to index them. While
theming (is the way of gathering similar information) an aspect of participants and
patterns in data sets that are collaborated to specific research.

Result

1.) Interaction between the young teachers corresponding to their students

Age Gap

In accordance to one of our participant, he said that because the close

relatedness in terms of age, young teachers can relate more to what students feel,
unlike the older teachers who have a different perspective and way of thinking or
have a counter-point philosophy. The age gap does affect them because they are
almost at the same years, so they feel the same way towards each other as friends
and classmate.

P9 “Older teachers they were like; they don’t get what most of the students
think for their age gap or boundary differs greatly and is considerably very
distant compared to the young teachers.”

Social Media Exposure

On the other hand, the influence of having any social media platform can
also affect the social in both digital and actual. They can interact online through
Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, so as other social media platforms. Furthermore, this
can become a link that can tighten their engagement where student-teacher
relationship is still being practiced outside the school premises/ classroom.

P9 “Since the young teachers they can interact better to their students since
they have the same for example social media exposure. New teachers can
interact most of the time to their students compared to the older one. It
was like through social media, they can have student- teacher
 University of the Assumption 16

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

engagement.”

Different Approach from class hours

A respondent has stated that there is a form of formal and friendly student-
teacher engagement that is present inside the classroom. This may have said that,
on every ongoing class hours’ student and teachers should still be affable and
welcoming mood. This may result into fun and communicative class discussions.

P10 “Most of them are very young. How well do I interact? Whenever we’re
inside the classroom, there is student-teacher relationship, like that. It was
like that, but whenever we’re outside, they were like more talkative, chatty,
and loquacious.”

Valuing respect and formality

In accordance to the conducted interview, an accumulation of four (4) of our

respondents have clearly enunciated that they treat their teachers as mutual friends
outside the classroom where they chat, interact, as well as making jokes. On the
other hand, it is limited because when class discussion starts, they must value the
sense of respect, discipline an formality that they are still teachers who are ought to
teach them the same as the older teachers that must be respected.

P1 “Ahh, yes we interact with them. No matter if they are young or old, we
still need to respect them.”
 University of the Assumption 17

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

P2 “Yes I have young learning area teachers. Ahh, every time that they
teach and lecture on class hours we should always stay attentive and
disciplined. We should always do what is assigned and tasked to us.
They are like our friends, but we respect them very well.”
P4 “As of now right? So yes, we have young learning area teachers and as
a student of course we interact with them. Even though most of them
are young, I should still listen to them attentively on class hours.”

P5 “Yes I have young learning area teachers. We interact with them

similarly to the older teachers. We respect them, of course.”

P7 “Yes I do have young teachers. Of course, outside the classroom, we

are like friends, we make jokes and different kinds of humor like that,
but if we’re inside the classroom of course, the sense of respect should
be there and we must become serious to things.”

P8 “Yes I have and I interact with them well every time they have subject
to us.”

Being in touch and obliging ties

A respondent has said that in accordance to what he/she had observed and
noticed, young learning area teachers are very much of approachable. They are very
open, with a positive and endearing mood whenever they are being called, asked,
alongside. Furthermore, they are easy to get close with.
 University of the Assumption 18

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

P3 “Yes I have young teachers in many learning areas. I noticed that

young teachers today are easy to be close with as well as they are open
when they are being approached.”

P6 “I have young teachers and, they are fine. I’m friends with them, like
that.”

Leniency and forbearance towards student

One of our respondents have affirmed that younger teachers do are very much of
lenient. Because of their young age, they are primarily lesser strict because they feel
more synonymous and analogously to their students. They are more patient,
forgiving, and tenacious. A teacher should possess patience with their students and
their parents to deal with the same questions and problems over and over again.
Therefore, a teacher love by students heeding from our respondent should possess
those qualities.

P6 “Younger teachers are easy to get with unlike the older ones who are
lesser strict and lenient, so I am more comfortable and choose to be
with younger teachers.”

2.) Intuition concerning student teacher engagement/ dexterity teaching in

disparity to older teachers
 University of the Assumption 19

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Student teacher engagement

Possessing qualities of amiability and temper

P2 “We will start to close our mouths and we give respect. The difference
is that their patience are very great and they don’t easily give up
teaching their students.”

Convivial and Communicative towards their student

P3 “What I have observed is that younger teacher are easy to talk with and
they are very open and be friends with unlike the older teacher that are
moody and super strict and is very difficult to approach that’s why when
you want to ask something you are just cared to ask them.”

P10 “Younger teachers are more approachable.”

Synergetic and easily to get with humor

 University of the Assumption 20

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

P4 “Younger teachers do like “ride” o our jokes and humor than the older
one because the tendency is that their teachers are very strict then the
young teachers today they have the capacity to interact well especially
to millennials students.”

Dexterity teaching

Teaching technique

P6 “Yes of course, younger teachers do still teach in a professional way, we

learn and all of the thing they know they share them to us.”

P2 “Yes they do, and they use PowerPoint presentations unlike on the past
it is not very popular to use those but now most of them use it. The era
is changing and the technology is getting more and more modernized.”
P3 “Yes they do, and they don’t use manila paper anymore. They use
PowerPoint and video presentation nowadays.”
P1 “Yes they do. They teach with life experiences.”
P9 “Yes they do. Most of the young teachers are fresh graduate and they
commonly used PowerPoints and they give us handouts. I can’t say
anything about older because most of our teachers are young except Sir
Evaristo.”
 University of the Assumption 21

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Experience of an older teachers differs distantly from younger ones

P5 “Older teacher, they are very deep when

they teach probably because they are
more experienced and they have taught
students for a very long time unlike the
younger ones.”
P7 ‘I think the older ones are like because
they have taught students from a very
long time they are more of like got used
to it and improved their skills by
experience. They have known our
behavior. But the younger ones,
although they have lesser experience
they are still good. Older are more
experienced compared to the younger.”

3.) Social Relationship of students with their young teachers outside of the
classroom.

Communication

P3 We don’t go out. For example, when

we're out of the classroom and we saw
young teacher like sir Rex, we mingle or
 University of the Assumption 22

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

bond with him and saying jokes but

when we are inside the classroom, the
teacher is really serious. compared in
older teacher, they are serious inside and
outside the classroom.

So our social relationship with young

teacher outside the classroom, we can
have friends with them and we can talk
and say jokes to them but inside the
classroom, we should behave well

P5 Yes the young teachers in my

observation ohm they know how to set
asides uhm like for example when it is
time for lesson we should be in serious
mode and when it comes to jokes, it is
joke time

Interaction

I observed that they are more talkative

outside the classroom. As if they were
your friend. We do not have the chance
to be with them outside the school.
 University of the Assumption 23

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Social Bond

No, we don’t go outside but for example,

in Facebook like that, we have our
communication we message or chat
there. Sometimes they are commenting
in our Facebook post.
No, we can only interact in room.

P10 This year nothing actually happened that

we go out because many are busy,
sometimes other teachers won’t notice
us. Other teachers don’t like us.
Sometimes our classmate is kj.

P3 We don’t go outside the school

Bonding

P4 No because they said that we cannot

have bonding between students and the
teachers outside the school.

4.) Social relationship outside the classroom

 University of the Assumption 24

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

Teacher approach

P1 “Being approachable is important to

them, they can help a student who is
depressed or feeling down, so that the
student won’t get shy to approach
teachers.”
P6 “Maybe yes, young teachers are more
interactive because you’re more
comfortable with them, so during
discussion, students won’t get bored and
the teacher starts teaching.”

Closeness

P4 “As of now no, I still hang out with my

older teachers.”
P5 “No we don’t go out and hang out
outside, but in social media like
Facebook, we have interactions, we
sometimes leave our comments on each
other’s posts.”
P7 “No we don’t hang out but the only old
teacher we had was Sir Evaristo and we
don’t hangout with him and if we’re at
 University of the Assumption 25

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

the outside of the room it was Sir Rex

and Sir Lasi who joins us on our flaws,
but if it’s Sir Evaristo, it’s always
serious.”

Powerpoint: Ideal way of teaching

P2 “Yes. For me, the way the young

teachers teach the students, it’s the best.
You learn faster and it’s enjoyable.”
P3 “Yes. Everyone enjoys the way they use
power point, the way they present
activities, it helps the students learn and
enjoy at the same time.”
P8 “Yes they teach in a professional way,
and even though we are close to them,
they still do their role as a teacher.”
P9 “Some young teachers are professional
in their way of teaching that can help the
students understand the topic easily.
When it comes to the manila paper
method, PowerPoint is better because
the designs satisfies the students eyes
and at the same time their mind.”
P10 “Yes because they are good too in their
way of teaching and about the manila
 University of the Assumption 26

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

paper, I prefer power point because

designs attracts the students attention
and make you focus in the discussion.”

5.) Young teachers are more approachable and interactive to those who are older

Student Awareness

P1 “Yes. It feels like they are more open to

interact ang have a conversation to
students even after class compared to
the older one. It is important because
they are able to help the students.
Example when the teacher saw the
student sad, they will approach you and
ask you what happened. Its like they are
very aware of student feelings inside or
outside the classroom.”

Smart

P2 “Yes, you’ll be shocked because they

were able to answer all your questions
and also kind. You won’t ever see
 University of the Assumption 27

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

anything wrong with them as a teacher.

They were able to answer all your
concerns like for example, you don’t
understand the PowerPoint they are
presenting, so you tend to ask them
regarding to the lesson they are
discussing.”

Relatedness

P3 “Yes. Young teachers are more

approachable. They can relate on
whatever we want. It does affect the
academic relationship because when you
understand something, it will be easier
for you to ask unlike other old teachers,
they are strict when it comes to
questions you’ll give them outside the
classroom.”
P4 “Yes. There (young teachers) are more
approachable because of the age gap.
They are easier to approach and ask help
unlike older teachers, even if you ask the
easiest question they will still be cold in
treating you. Having a young teacher
makes every student life easier because
 University of the Assumption 28

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

you have someone who you can ask

anytime but still entertain you.”
P6 “Yes, it is because first of all they are
millennials and we are millennials. Young
teachers can relate with their students.
They can easily teach the lesson. On the
other hand, having a young teacher, as a
student, we have an advantage. We are
not afraid to ask question if they don’t
understand the lesson because they are
still young.”

Jolly

P5 “Yes. It seems like they are more open

to fact of enjoying the school even with
the students, disregarding the purpose of
the conversation. Compared to the old
ones, young teachers are more open to
student – teacher interaction even
outside the classroom or outside the
school discussion. There are times that
they will be the one who will start the
conversation just to help the student
 University of the Assumption 29

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

blend with the environment they have.”

Fair Approach

P7 “For me, there are just the same. On my

past experience with old teachers, I can
also talk to them about my concerns just
like how I receive approach from young
teachers. The relationship depends on
the students on how they tell their
teachers about their concerns.”

Easy to approach/interact

P8 “Yes they are approachable. In a way

that we can easily interact with them.
And yes it does affect the academic
performance like you can ask them
anytime about the lessons/topics that we
don’t understand.”
P9 “Yes. Since they’re more approachable
and interactive, we can easily ask them
information’s and they will answer us.”
P10 “Yes. Having a lot of activities, we
sometimes forget some important
 University of the Assumption 30

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

details, or sometimes don’t understand

what you have to do, you can easily ask
the teachers even in social medias
compared to older ones who only
entertain questions once and only inside
the classroom.”

Teachers

1.) Process or methods of teacher teaching students.

Presentations

P2 I use PowerPoint presentation to get the

attention of my students, and making
some activities so my students won't
easily get bored on their subject. As
much as possible if there's a video clips
that is connected on the lesson will use it
to get the attention of their students and
to engage them by asking some
questions.

P3 Since my age are not so far to the ages

of my student I was quite related on how
could they've learned. I use the method
of technology. Like for example using
PowerPoints during discussion, it should
 University of the Assumption 31

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

also have text and picture nor gif that

could make the PowerPoint more
interesting for the children. Using games
to make the discussion more interactive.
Question and answer method, is not
only the teacher who are talking also
you have to get the insight of the
children.
Attitude

P1 I usually I would do when they are noisy

I would just remain quite and they will
automatically know that I’m already mad
and their will be lay there voice down by
and they will listen I usually start my
lesson by having a motivation or
energizer for example dancing before the
class for them to have energy and for
them not feel sleepy.

2.) Techniques of teachers when they cannot control their students.

Attitude

P2 It depends on the situation, students

have different attitudes that’s why
teachers use different techniques to
 University of the Assumption 32

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

control them.

Age gap

P3 Since my age are not that far, sometimes

I cannot control them because they are
thinking that I am their friend, rather,
because they don't usually see me in the
classroom. In that sometimes that I feel
I cannot even control them rather the
best way for me is to stay quiet so that
they will notice me, if I go along with
them, if the will just going to test my
patience. But if they see that I sopped
talking, I will stop teaching so the their
self could notice so that they will stop of
all their wrong doings that is very
disrespectful.

3.) Keeping students focus on the discussion.

 University of the Assumption 33

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

P1 Okay... I usually keep them focus by just

not strictly having their discussion like
seriously I would insert a little bit humor
for them at least they laugh and not to
feel sleepy also lessening their chances
to go out and go to the restroom. And ay
just not allow them to go out always
because specially by groups because we
know that if they go out by group they
will just cut class.

P3 How do I keep my students focus on the

discussion? Uhm maybe you should put
humor in the class because children
nowadays, within 5 minutes, go near
them or just call their name so that they
could be aware that they are not
listening.

P2 Saying some jokes or quotes will make

the students active in lessons. In
discussion don't focus on the lesson,
sometimes you have to relate it on real
life situations and keep on asking
questions to your students so they won't
 University of the Assumption 34

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

be sleepy on your discussion time.

Maybe to give some jokes or quotes
because in our generation now students
is active in this kind of topic. I make sure
that my discussion isn't just discussion
sometimes I relate it on real life
situations. Also I keep on asking
questions so my students won't be get
sleepy in the middle of the discussion.

4.) The thoughts about teaching students whose age are near to students.

Limitations

P3 Well I'm belong in this situation. I think it

depends on the students or teachers if
the teachers know his/her limitations on
boundaries towards students and
teachers. I don't think there's a big
difference between a young teachers and
a seasoned teacher as long the teacher
knows his/her limitation inside the
classrooms. I think there's a advantage
as a young teacher compare to the older
since they're young teachers they can
 University of the Assumption 35

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

easily understand their students they can

relate on the trip of there's student. I
can say that the percentage of a young
teachers you can easily relate and easily
understand your students situation.

P1 I noticed that students, especially senior

high school students have too many
complains, it came to the point wherein,
every single thing you'll task them to do
will have a feedback on their side. I
mean, I do understand that they have a
lot of things to do in their other subjects,
that they are tired, but they don't realize
that teachers do too, students don't think
about what the teachers are doing for
them, I think it is because they are
spoiled at their houses, they are
tolerated of their every action, that's why
they are bringing that kind of mentality
inside the school. And when it comes to
the relationship between my students, I
can't find myself being isolated from
them since my age is not far from theirs.
I can also control my anger around them
because since their age is close to mine,
 University of the Assumption 36

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

I can also learn from them

5.) Teachers that are disrespected by students and their reaction.

Impolite

P1 All think most of us, teachers. Are being

disrespected by students because of the
closeness of our ages, they feel
comfortable that they will forgot to
respect us as their teachers. So what we
do is to adopt and be flexible especially
young teachers. to adopt in any situation
when it comes to disrespectfulness. It all
comes down to the strategies of the
teacher which is involved no in a
scenario

P2 Yes, we can't avoid this kind of situation.

Because of this I'm more conscious
mostly on the clothes I wear every day I
wont wear fitted clothes when going to
school. Of course, I learned something
from that experience, that students have
different mind sets and there are
students whose attitude is just plain
disrespectful.
 University of the Assumption 37

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

P3 Sometimes I feel disrespectful in

different ways, like sometimes they are
not listening and then you called his or
her attention but they still doing what
they want to do instead of doing what I
asked them to do. In that way I feel
disrespected or when you are in the
classroom there are times that the
student wont notice you or they couldn't
even greet you good morning or good
afternoon, that are the times that I feel
disrespected for example they ask for
extension on projects because of
overloaded works in that sometimes the
students make you feel that they
prioritize other subject, I always consider
them but sometimes, I feel as if they
abuses their consideration and with that,
I somehow feel disrespected

Results

“THE CONCLUSIVE RESULT OF EXPERIENCING YOUNG TEACHER

EDUCATION TO SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL STUDENTS"

DISCUSSION

This research aimed to determine to know the effects of having young

teachrrs on both sides of teachers and students from the university of the
assumption, to generalize the answers of the student participants: young teachers
has capability to teach senior high school students and they were able to meet the
students' expectations when it comes to having student-teacher interaction in social
engagement. According to Promthean( 2017, February 8 ) younger teachers are
more capable of using modern technology as a form of medium and can give
students a more interactive way of learning, it has been known in the study that the
teachers have used modern technology when teaching their students, on what the
respondents have stated, their way of teaching through technology is very effective.
Thus, they use powerpoint which is very effective and fun as well as letting their
students watch video clips. Their way of fun and interactive learning has been a
functional and efficacious method that made the student undestand the lesson more.

This reseach want to determine and to know the effect of having young
teachers and students from the university of the assumption to specify the answer of
the student participants: young teachers had the skills to teach senior highschool
student and they can meet the old teachers expectation when it comes to having
 University of the Assumption 39

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

student-teacher interaction in social angagement and teaching techniques. According

to (Cohen & Bohen, 1999) teachers that doesn’t have enough experience in teaching
should know her own skill and limits. Teacher also need to act wise and at the same
time has a good benefits for the student and for him/herself. Teachers also need to
learn when he/she is teaching. Respondents explain that young teachers need to be
serious in their way of teaching because they hold the future of the student and that
they should not always depend on the modern way of teaching which is powerpoint
and video presentation. Their way of teaching was very good but aren’t sure if the
information they gathered was true. Over all young teachers techniques was good
because students can learn the lesson fast in a entertaining way.

Qualitative Research is primarily exploratory research. It is used to gain an

understanding of underlying reasons, opinions, and motivations. The researcher will
use the method of interview in order to gather and collect a data information. The
researchers will have asked the participant in order to collect data.

The researchers used the method of interview in order for them to gather
respondents information. After that, the next data gathering procedure is to code. Coding is a
process of classifying and identifying themes in selecting labels/code to index them. While
theming (is the way of gathering similar information) an aspect of participants and patterns
in data sets that are collaborated to specific research. Through this research by the use of
the related literature and the respondents answer the can come up to a conclusion on what
they have evaluated.

The researchers have chosen the method of using interview. The researchers
interviewed 5 participants from the different stand.

This study will be primarily focusing on the effects of having young teachers
that their ages are not that far to the Senior High school students. Furthermore, it
ought to explain the effectiveness of the teachers teaching technique, comprehend
social engagement between young teachers in relation to their students inside and
outside the classroom, evaluate their skill and potential towards teaching their
students in order for them to produce quality education, and finally to scrutinize if
having comfort because of having near age gap does affect academic learning. It is
an applied research for it can become a help and assistance to teachers on what
their student feel towards them. It is also a very current issue especially on the
university and the department. The researchers used the method of interview in
order for them to gather respondents information. After that, the next data
gathering procedure is to code. Coding is a process of classifying and identifying
themes in selecting labels/code to index them. While theming (is the way of
gathering similar information) an aspect of participants and patterns in data sets that
are collaborated to specific research. Through this research by the use of the related
literature and the respondents answer the can come up to a conclusion on what they
have evaluated.

The researchers learned from the study that young teachers use different kind
of teaching strategies like PowerPoints, video presentation and other techniques with
the assistance of technology to satisfy the students expectation and demand
regarding to the discussion. With the student’s large engagement with technology,
 University of the Assumption 41

SENIOR HIGH SCHOOL

young teachers use this to keep the focus of the students in the discussion. with the
fact of having technology inside the classroom, students will be more focused and
willing to listen to the lectures.

A teacher and a student is tightly connected to each other there is an

engagement between them, therefore their connection must be pure and good in
order to succeed the education purposes they are going through. Teacher is the
main point of the knowledge of the student and the student is the fundamental
effect that the teacher is doing. The relation between the two objectives must have
a good quality of social interaction so that there is no a result of misunderstanding
between the two subject.

This research allows us to know if the young teachers have enough knowledge
and skills to handle students that are near to their age. The researchers learned that
even though young teachers fresh from their respective universities are young, they
are sill capable of doing the same quality education the same as the older teachers.
As being said, even they are new and fresh from their university their technique in
teaching has been tremendously giving the students much information the same as
the older teacher.

According to what the respondents have said, comfortability really affects

learning. Furthermore, most of the respondents have said that whenever they want
to approach and ask for a teacher assistance especially whenever they feel bothered
of not understanding the lectures conducted or simply to clarify and clear the
discussion. Thus, it simply a big help and guide that they can approach their young
