Abstract

This descriptive study investigated the extent of fiction teaching practices among Grade III teachers in private elementary schools in Baguio City, specifically in District III. Utilizing a survey-based methodology, a questionnaire checklist served as the primary instrument for data collection. The sample comprised 34 teachers. The study aimed to ascertain the level of implementation and pedagogical preferences of these teachers when integrating fiction into their curriculum. Results indicated that fiction teaching practices were utilized to a moderate extent. The data suggest that while fiction is recognized as a valuable tool in the classroom, its use is balanced with other forms of literary instruction. The study's findings provide insights into current instructional trends in the teaching of fiction, offering potential guidance for curriculum development and teacher training programs. Further research is needed to explore the rationales behind these trends, their impacts on student outcomes, and possibilities for optimally integrating fiction into the teaching repertoire.
