encountered and their coping mechanisms. The null hypothesis was tested at level .05 level
of significant between the problems encountered and their profile variables and the significant
relationships between the coping mechanisms and problems encountered.
The descriptive method of research was used and the questionnaire checklist was
used in gathering data. The frequency counts, percentages, weighted mean, average point and
ANNOVA (Analysis of Variance) were the statistical tools used in the analysis of data and the
coded Pearson Product-Moment Correlation Coefficient (r) was used.
The following are the salient findings. Majority belongs to age bracket 35- and above
years, female married, mostly with Master of Arts units 14 or 31.1 percent. Majority have1-5
years in service as school manager and have 6-10 teachers supervised that is 18 or 40.0 percent.
Most of them have attended trainings at various levels.
Further, the problems encountered by the school managers is 2.98 “moderately serious”,
and the coping mechanisms which is 2.63 “moderately practiced”.
It was also found out that the school managers were comparable or have the same
level in problems encountered when grouped according to their profiles. In terms of relationship
between the coping mechanisms and the problems encountered, there is no significant
relationship. It can be inferred that their level of problems encountered is not affected.
Based on the findings and conclusions derived from this study, the following are
hereby recommended. School managers who have not finished Masteral Degree and the highest
educational qualification which is doctoral Degree are encouraged to finish it. The concerned
school managers who experienced “moderately serious” problems may continue may continue
using other coping mechanisms not mentioned in this study to possibly reduce or illuminate
them. Training program should be designed, formulated and implemented to orient further
school managers in coping with problems encountered to make it from”moderately serious “ to
not serious. Finally other studies should be conducted to look into other aspects of problems
encountered by school manager and coping mechanism using more variables and in a wider
scope.
