Analyzing How Students Differ Individually: A Look At Temperament Traits Among Filipino Teacher Education Students

This study examined the temperament traits of Bachelor of Technology and Livelihood Education (BTLEd) students and how these traits influence their academic experiences. A mixed-methods research design was employed, integrating quantitative and qualitative approaches. Data were collected from 39 students using a standardized temperament survey and open-ended questions. Findings revealed that Melancholic and Phlegmatic temperaments were most prevalent. These students reported tendencies toward overthinking, stress, social withdrawal, and fear of making mistakes. However, they also demonstrated strengths in organization, attention to detail, and resilience. The results highlight that temperament significantly influences students’ interactions, collaboration, and problem-solving approaches. The study underscores the importance of incorporating temperament awareness in teaching practices to create inclusive, responsive, and emotionally supportive learning environments.
