Abstract
This study explored the strategies for utilizing emerging instructional materials and the interpersonal field of teachers in public elementary schools in Bangoy District, Division of Davao City. A non-experimental quantitative research design, employing the correlational method, was used. The respondents consisted of 132 public elementary school teachers selected through universal sampling. Data analysis included the use of mean, Pearson r, and regression analysis. The findings revealed that the strategies for utilizing emerging instructional materials were often demonstrated by the teachers. Similarly, their interpersonal field was frequently evident. A significant relationship was found between the strategies for emerging instructional materials and the interpersonal field of teachers in public elementary schools. Furthermore, it was shown that the domains of strategies for emerging instructional materials significantly influenced the teachers' interpersonal field. It is recommended that schools provide continuous professional development programs to enhance teachers' skills in utilizing emerging instructional materials effectively. Additionally, initiatives to strengthen teachers' interpersonal field may be prioritized to foster a collaborative and supportive learning environment.
