Parents’ Perspective on Multi-Grade Teaching in Tubabao Island’s Elementary Education

This research aims to explore the perspectives of parents on Multi-grade Teaching. To gather data, the researchers used a qualitative research design, specifically narrative inquiry research design. The research study takes place at the five Barangays of Tubabao Island which all implemented Multi-grade Teaching. Purposive sampling methods were used in selecting participants to meet the required qualities appropriate for this study. Thus, parents that have children enrolled in both mono-grade and multi-grade teaching are the qualified participants chosen by the researchers. This study finds that the implementation of multi-grade teaching faces varying problems that reduce students’ active academic participation. The implication of this study plays an important role for further studies for the improvement of the implementation of Multi-grade Teaching as a laying foundation of learning, development and progress especially in urban areas.
