Abstract
This study evaluated the impact and challenges of digital pedagogical strategies among senior teachers through an in-depth interview. Using qualitative research design, data was gathered from 12 respondents in the Division of Lucena City via one-on-one interview. Six methodical processes were followed in the process: (1) collecting the data (2) creating preliminary codes and clustering them (3) categorizing them to create themes (4) evaluating themes (5) defining and labeling themes and (6) analyzing and interpreting. Findings revealed that senior teachers described digital pedagogy as a vital approach in modern education that leverages technology to improve teaching and learning across multiple modes, including online, hybrid, and face-to-face settings. The key digital competencies of senior teachers include seven categories such as commonly used platforms, online behavior and communication, challenges and willingness to learn, lesson planning and preparedness, teaching strategies and student engagement, digital tools for teaching and assessment, and digital literacy and resource utilization. Moreover, these digital competencies also highlight the following: digital literacy and competence, professional development and training, use of digital tools in teaching, classroom adaptation and teaching strategies, adaptability and readiness for change and challenges in digital learning and teaching. The most common challenges encountered by senior teachers in using digital tools, and how they manage those, are as follows: internet and technical challenges, student engagement and learning challenges, teacher preparedness and training, teaching strategies and resource integration, collaboration and peer support, flexibility and adaptation in teaching, and digital resource utilization. Thus, digital pedagogy plays a crucial role in modern education by integrating technology into enhanced teaching and learning across various settings. It fosters better engagement, collaboration, and accessibility while aligning with contemporary advancements.
