Abstract

The Indigenous Peoples Education (IPEd) in the Philippines is an imperative component in its educational system. Undeniably, IPEd offers various areas that require further studies. In such context, this exploratory sequential study was implemented to investigate IPEd from the lens of the teachers, focusing on their challenges and coping as bases in developing a localized framework. Results indicated that multicultural complexity, lack of native-focused educational framework, language disparity and its implications, gaps in professional training, and insufficient school-community collaboration are the challenges faced by teachers which are found to be of very high degree of seriousness. With these challenges, the teachers employ a very high level of coping strategies which are employing “cultural harmony” approach, integrating contextual learning approaches, fostering language understanding in inter-cultural teaching environments, independent learning amidst professional development gaps in IPEd, and enhancing parental engagement in IPEd implementation. These findings resulted in the development of a localized framework, addressing their challenges. In the light of these findings, IPEd implementation calls for long term solutions despite teachers’ commitment, creativity, and resilience.
