Influence of Exercise and Physical Activity on the Mental Health of Elementary and Junior High School Teachers :

instruction is implemented by elementary and junior high school teachers; (b)examine the frequency with which the components of self-determination are taught; and (c)investigate whether teachers’ gender, class setting, and teaching experience affect their classroom practices regarding the promotion of self-determination. The participants were 1,039 teachers recruited from elementary and junior high schools nationwide in Taiwan using a random sampling method. The Teaching Self-Determination Scale (TSDS) was used to gauge the extent to which educators teach knowledge and skills related to self-determination. Descriptive statistics, analyses of variance (ANOVAs) and multivariate analyses of variance (MANOVAs) were employed to analyze data collected. Findings showed that more than half of the teachers surveyed reported having often or always provided instruction to promote students’ self-determination. The most frequently taught skills are related to Psychological Empowerment (self-advocacy skills, expecting positive outcomes), while the least frequently taught skills were primarily located in the domain of Self-Regulation (goal setting and problem solving skills). Furthermore, our findings showed that teachers’ gender, class setting, and teaching experience were factors attecting the extent to which teachers delivered instruction to promote self-determination. Female teachers exhibited higher levels of implementation with respect to self-determination instruction. Teachers in general education classrooms showed significantly higher levels of applied self-determination instruction, followed by resource room teachers and self-contained classroom teachers. Additionally, teachers with more teaching experiences more frequently employed instructional activities promoting self-determination. Suggestions and implications are provided.

In addition, the code of conduct related to decorum, the following are some of the challenges encountered by the respondents: (1) Students do not maintain silence when no teacher is around; (2) Students fight with their classmates when they lose their temper; (3) Students disrespect the sacredness of the chapel by uttering nasty words inside the place; (4) Students ignore teacher’s instructions and do some foolishness with their friends; (5) Students disobey the rules and regulations of the school; (6) Students are buying foods even though it is not a break time; (7) Students fail to maintain silence inside the library; (8) Students do not observe silence while buying in the cafeteria; (9) Students do not participate in the mass instead they talk to their classmate; and, (10) Students talk with their classmate while flag ceremony is on-going. The findings of the study revealed that the orientation of the students was needed to familiarize the students on the rules and regulations implemented in the school and to consistently impose discipline. The following recommendations are made by the researcher: The students should understand fully the importance of following the school's rules and regulations by taking seriously the identified school policy on the code of conduct. The teachers should conduct an annual orientation/re-orientation program that emphasizes the findings of this research, and seriously consider more effective strategies to overcome problems on code of conduct and use the output of this study. The school administrators should issue a school memorandum requiring all teachers and school staff to strictly implement the school policies. The future researchers should make a study on the assessment of the quality of the school policies implemented in the private schools in Quezon Province.

This study was conducted from February 2021 to March 2021 to determine the stress management amidst the covid - 19 pandemics of the junior high school teachers in selected high schools of Aborlan North. The descriptive research design, specifically the survey method, was used in this study. Data were gathered through survey questionnaires. A total of 39 permanent teachers were enumerated from the selected high schools as the respondents of the study. The result showed that most of the respondents were married females in their middle age. They had been in the service for a mean of 11.3 years and almost three fourth (74.4%) of them were Secondary School Teacher I with a mean teaching load of 26.4 hours per week. The perceived sources of stress such as work, family, personal, and environmental were considered distinctly part of the respondents’ lives. The level of perceived stress of the respondents was noted to be “high stress”. The activities engaged in very often to manage stress by a majority of the respondents were walking, praying, attending church/religious service, planting, gardening, and watering plants, washing domes, cooking/baking, evaluating oneself, watching the news, watching entertainment programs, watching “teledramas”, “telenovelas”, listening to music, texting, going to the internet, and talking with a family member.
