Abstract

Education is life and the school puts life in it. However, the school environment all over the world has been confronted by tremendous factors such as pandemic, calamities, conflicts, stress, diversities and other challenges which need to be addressed by authorities concerned. Psychosocial environmental disruption in education is one of the vital issues that need to be taken into consideration since it may adversely affect the teaching and learning processes and the schools’ human and material resources. This study investigated the psychosocial environmental disruption among selected public elementary schools in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao in terms of interpersonal, economic, and psychological factors utilizing a descriptive quantitative research design to the 149 respondents comprising of 31 school heads and 118 public elementary school teachers using purposive sampling method. Data generated from the respondents were computed through SPSS 18.0 and mean values were analyzed and interpreted using descriptive analysis. Findings of the study revealed that the extent of psychosocial environmental disruptions of schools relative to interpersonal (3.36), economic (3.28), and psychological (3.09) is oftentimes manifested.

When interpersonal school disruptions exist, the economic and psychological disruptions among schools likewise occur. Strengthening collaboration between and among the schools’ stakeholders are indispensable to make the school environment conducive for learning that would contribute to quality education.
