Abstract:
Our whole education context had quickly changed ever since the start of the pandemic. Since then, many educators around the world experienced different challenges in teaching which influenced their self-determination. Despite the unfavorable circumstance, everyone had learned to embrace the situation and looked at it as an opportunity to grow and flourish. Using the exploratory descriptive research design, this paper discusses the major opportunities discovered by eight physical education instructors from different state universities and colleges in Mindanao, Philippines during the emergency remote teaching. Throughout the conduct of the study, the researchers employed qualitative researching. In strengthening the dependability of its results, bracketing, pilot study, triangulation, member checking, and transferability were employed. The data that were collected from the interviews have expounded on the emerging themes that were found: self-discovery and innovation; professional growth; and intrinsic and extrinsic support. Interestingly, the findings showed that teaching remotely during the pandemic had significantly improved their instructional strategies, enriched collaboration, and adapted new teaching practices. Also, there was much professional training like webinars provided which allowed them to link to other academic institutions. Moreover, school modernization and financial and emotional support were given by school administrators to boost their teaching drive. However, irrespective of the extrinsic support that they received, their internal motivation to gain knowledge and become more independent in this learning set-up drove them to become more self-determined and resilient. Hence, if psychological basic needs are sufficed, it positively influences the overall emergency remote teaching performance.
