The study was conducted to identify the motivating factors of teachers
in developing supplementary learning materials in the Schools Division
in Central Luzon, Philippines.Findings revealed there were ten (10)
motivating factors that help teachers to develop supplementary learning
materials namely: helps them to deliver the lesson easier; motivates
learners; receives recognition and achievement; promotes participation
and ICT collaboration; develops creativity; enhances teaching and
learning processes; enhances language, skills and communication;
provides contextualized instructional materials; develops skills in
writing and drawing; and helps them for ranking purposes. While there
were hindering factors why teachers could not develop supplementary
learning materials such as: lack of ICT skills and knowledge; lack of
time, lack of materials; lack of budget; their teaching loads; additional
clerical works; stress; lack of support; no internet connection; and their
attitude towards the development of SLMs. Based from the findings of
the study, a proposed policy was developed to further improve
teachers’ motivational factors in developing SLMs and to respond to
the issues addressed by the teachers regarding the matter. Conclusions
were drawn and recommendations were offered.
