Kindergarten Learners' Methods of Coping in the New Normal
Subject area: Arts, Social Sciences and Humanities · Area of research: Educational Development
Abstract
The level of coping skills used by kindergarten students in the new normal was the subject of this study. The respondents were sixty (60) kindergarten students from the Candelaria District, Division of Zambales. Using a questionnaire checklist created by the researcher and approved by subject-matter experts, data were collected. Results showed that kindergarten students' level of coping mechanisms had a grand overall weighted mean of 4.27, which is considered to be "High." In addition, there was no evidence of a significant difference between kindergarten students' levels of coping mechanisms across their profile variables, except for the father's highest level of education.It's interesting to note that, except for the existence of educational resources at home, there is a substantial association between kindergarten students' degree of coping techniques and their profile characteristics. Therefore, given that it received a low rating in this study, it was advised that kindergarten students maintain their level of coping mechanisms along with social aspects and that activities about emotional health be used by the teacher in kindergarten classes to improve the learners' emotional development.
