THE RESILIENCE OF TEACHER EDUCATION INSTITUTIONS IN A POST-PANDEMIC TIME: A COMPREHENSIVE TEACHER EDUCATION MODEL IN CALABARZON

In the wake of the Covid-19 pandemic, the pandemic has disrupted the traditional education system and has necessitated new methods of teaching and learning in Hybrid-flexible learning. The paper focused on the five areas recommended for consideration by the study of NICEF Europe and Central Asia (2022) in educational development in post-COVID times. First is by determining the extent of implementation in five areas namely access, learning, well-being, safe school, and, nutrition and school feeding, and by testing if these five areas are equally implemented across provinces in the entire region IVA CALABARZON (Cavite, Laguna, Batangas, Rizal, and Quezon). The 1378 respondents were from the different Teacher Education Institutions (TEIs) in the entire Region. Students, faculty, and administrators were the delegation in the Annual TEI convention that assessed the high implementation of resilience evaluation. However, the data was not normality distributed and hence used a Kruskal Wallis H-Test. Statistical differences were established when grouped according to agebracket (p≤0.000) from areas 3, 4, and 5 of resilience, area 4 was tested significantly differently by males and females (p=0.003). Also, all areas of resilience were tested significantly by students, faculty, and administration (p≤0.000). Lastly, all areas were implemented differently across five provinces in the entire region (p≤0.000). Although assessments were in high regard, TEIs may have uncommon implementation. They may share best practices to attain equal ways and achieve a single outcome in all areas of resilience. The study underscored highlights of resiliency especially the inclusion of safe schools that enable operations in line with national guidance, and also learning that broadly and encompasses all aspects of teaching and learning, assessment and support to socio-emotional learning. Together with the state of well-being, access to education and nutrition especially monitoring health protocols since the COVID-19 virus is lurking around the corner and complacency should be discarded.
