Abstract
This study determined and described the adaptation administration practices and accommodating classroom organization of public elementary school teachers in the Lupon District, Division of Davao Oriental. It employed a non-experimental quantitative research design utilizing a correlational method. The respondents of the study comprised 139 public elementary school teachers selected through universal sampling. Data analysis involved the use of mean, Pearson r, and regression analysis. The findings revealed that the adaptation administration practices of public elementary school teachers, in terms of consideration, stimulation, motivation, and influence, were oftentimes demonstrated by the teachers. Similarly, accommodating classroom organization, in terms of normative behavior, workplace behavior, values, and decision-making, was also oftentimes observed. Furthermore, a significant relationship was found between adaptation administration practices and accommodating classroom organization among teachers. It was further revealed that the domains of adaptation administration practices significantly influenced the accommodating classroom organization of public elementary school teachers. Based on the findings, it is recommended that public school teachers participate in conferences and training programs organized by the Department of Education (DepEd) as part of a professional development program. Such initiatives could enhance teachers' knowledge and skills, thereby fostering improved educational practices and creating a more conducive learning environment for students.
