Abstract

Being productive in the academe is an essential contribution to the stakeholders. However, challenges and difficulties in carrying this out had been a struggle among professional teachers during pandemic. Survey on the productivity of employees prior to the global pandemic found to be effective in the online work from home setup. Work from home employees can modify the working environment that fit to individual needs, such as balancing work and family, so that efficiency can be improved as employees can better manage highly demanding tasks in limited time. However, college teachers' experiences during work from home had shown low productivity. Hence, this qualitative phenomenological research study explored the productivity of the teachers of Davao de Oro State College New Bataan Branch during the online work setup. The purpose of this study is to explore on teachers' experiences, challenges, and insights in teaching during the online work from home setup. There were seven purposively selected college teachers who participated in the conduct of the study. Findings revealed that teachers were not impressed with the online working setup and that they cited noticeable decline of the students' performance and outputs compared to face-to-face setup. The study also revealed that only few of the college teachers viewed online learning setup as effective in terms of providing quality output in their duties as teachers, and they had experienced many challenges in achieving the demands of work which have affected its effectiveness.
