However, the pandemic has affected the lives of many, especially the preservice teachers. This study aimed to determine the challenges and opportunities encountered by student-teachers during their practice teaching in the new normal. Thirty-three pre-service teachers from St. Paul University Surigao during the academic year 2021-2022 were purposefully chosen as participants of this study. Quantitative-descriptive research design and validated researchermade instrument were used. Findings revealed that the pre-service teachers were most challenged on preparing lesson plans and daily logs for the topics, implementing COVID-19 protocols in the classroom, considering Paulinian Reflex in planning a lesson, and using Quipper as learning management system of the school. Meanwhile, the study revealed that the pre-service teachers met opportunities mostly on using flexible schedule in preparing learning plans and modules, managing academic and practice teaching requirements, imposing classroom rules and discipline to students, setting guidelines for students to follow, setting the alignment from teaching-learning activities with the outcome-based objectives, and having easy access to online resources. These findings may provide chances for all educational institutions to improve their curriculum for practice teaching. Keywords: challenges, opportunities, new normal, pre-service teachers, practice teaching, quantitative descriptive, Philippines INTRODUCTION The COVID-19 pandemic opened doors for change because it had an impact on many facets of human life, including educational systems globally. The traditional face-to-face learning method in education was put to the test as a result of the rapid shift to flexible and online learning modalities (Fernandez et al., 2022). Teachers now have a tremendous advantage and the chance to reinvent the future due to the new normal in education, but many people have been impacted by the pandemic, including the pre-service teachers. Most of the delivering educational institutions' capacities and readiness were challenged by this movement. The conduct of practice teaching is a crucial time for teaching education curricula as it fosters the application of all theoretical knowledge the student has gathered throughout academic years (Roble & Bacabac, 2016). In the Philippines, all courses related to teacher education are required for practicum teaching as part of the requirements to finish a degree in education (Ulla, 2016). However, Haigh, Prinder, and McDonald (2006) believe that practice teaching in education still poses a challenge since there are certain lacking facets of actual classroom teaching observed by the student-teachers. As opined by McGarr (2021), amidst COVID-19, pre-service teachers (PSTs) were faced with an unfamiliar challenge of coming up with coping strategies to address issues such as difficulty in interaction and lack of knowledge in distance learning. In the same manner, a study also found that some PSTs were able to develop their mechanisms in the form of technological pedagogical knowledge due to such unfavorable encounters (Nasri et al., 2020). As an instructional experience, the supervised field learning experience for studentteachers is a cornerstone for one to be able to express their personal and educational philosophies, theories, and understanding (Dacanay et al., 2019). It is an opportunity for them to test their learned skill set to venture into the education practice. This involves a multi-faceted human activity that requires a variety of planning, techniques, and organizational management in the classroom setting (Ganal et al., 2015), which may pose difficulties for inexperienced educators. In the study of Supriatana (2015), it was revealed that there were challenges, and in one fell swoop, opportunities met by most of the pre-service teachers during the conduct of their practicum. With these, the researchers found it imperative to determine whether these challenges and opportunities also exist in the Philippines under the new normal. METHODS This study employed a descriptive-quantitative research design. Quantitative data were collected to describe the extent of different challenges and opportunities encountered by the participants. The participants of this study were all pre-service teachers or education students who were in practice teaching at Saint Paul University Surigao (SPUS), Surigao City, Philippines. A total of 33 pre-service teachers were surveyed on the extent of their experienced challenges and opportunities during their practice teaching in the new normal. 13 of them were from the BEED program and 20 from the BSED program. All of them were assigned to the basic education program of SPUS under the guidance of cooperating teacher and the student teaching coordinator. A researcher-made 4-point Likert scale was used in this study. This instrument was validated by three experts in the field of education. Before collecting the data, the researchers sent a letter to the Dean of the College of Education, Culture, and Arts of SPUS for approval. The questionnaire was administered online through Google Form to the participants. It was made clear to them that all information provided would be treated with utmost confidentiality. Percentage distribution, mean, standard deviation and analysis of variance (ANOVA) were employed for data analysis after verifying the normal distribution of the data. In testing the hypothesis, alpha is set at a 0.05 level of significance. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION The findings of this study were shown in the following tables. Table 1 shows the profile of the participants. It can be seen from the table that majority are female and from the age of 20 to 30 years old. Furthermore, majority of them took BEED as their degree program. Table 1. Profile of the Participants Profile Variables Frequency (n=33) Age 20-25 16 26-30 15 31-35 1 36 and above 1 Sex Male 12 Female 21 Degree Program BEED 20 BSED 13 Percentage % 48.5 45.5 3.03 3.03 36.36 63.64 60.61 39.39 Table 2 presents the challenges of the student teachers in terms of time management, classroom management, lesson planning, and resources. Based on the means, the participants were mostly challenged on preparing lessons plans and daily logs for the topics in terms of time management with mean of 3.03 and standard deviation of 0.77. With the lowest standard deviation, it implies that the responses of the participants were more consistent. Hence, they agreed more that they were very challenged in allocating and maximizing their time when preparing for their lesson plans and daily logs. This finding supports the claim of Genc (2016) that pre-service teachers experienced problems with 78 issues in total during their practicum period regarding time management. This implies that such problems during practicum in terms of time management were encountered by pre-service teachers, since they have to balance their resources on academic requirements as well as practicum responsibilities regarding time essence. In terms of classroom management, the participants were mostly challenged on observing the COVID-19 protocols with mean of 3.06 and standard deviation of 0.83 which is a smaller dispersion from the mean. This implies that the participants were having a hard time in implementing the health protocols such as the limited face-to-face, hand sanitizing, wearing of face masks all the time, and checking body temperature. Accordingly, classroom management during the practice of teaching was difficult for novice teachers to handle (Civitillo et al., 2018). It was reaffirmed in the study of Hill (2021) where it was emphasized the importance of asynchronous and synchronous learning, in lieu of COVID19 wherein student teachers’ efficacy should increase in place of classroom management. This should include the practice of health protocols imposed by government authorities in lieu of faceto-face classes, which have been found by the respondents to be “challenging”, in comparison to the other indicators under the facet of classroom management. Table 2. Extent on Challenges of the Pre-Service Teachers Indicators TIME MANAGEMENT 1.

This implies that the pre-service teachers occasionally think of Paulinian Reflex as part of making lesson plans. The adaptation of planning elements to a particular learning groups’ needs is one of the core challenges that teachers encounter during lesson planning (Konig et al., 2020). Moreover, the study of Enow and Goodwyn (2018) furthered that an effective teacher must plan their lessons to align their instructional decisions with their students’ learning dispositions. However, pre-service teachers and other novice teachers tend to utilize stepwise procedures and fail to demonstrate an adaptive teaching style (Chiznik & Chiznik, 2018). This means that they are likely to experience difficulties in anticipating the course of instruction to generate good planning decisions, in relation to their student’s learning needs. In terms of resources, the participants were mostly challenged on using Quipper as learning management system of the school with mean of 2.97 and standard deviation of 0.88, followed by the use of SMART TV as aid for visual presentation with mean of 2.91 and standard deviation of 1.01. Meaning to say, the pre-service teachers rarely receive sufficient instructions on how to use the university's Learning Management System. Idin and Romadhoni (2016) have found drawbacks in using Quipper such as the number of computers in schools, as well as the lack of electronic devices and good internet connection for students in their homes, to which they pointed out that some students have little knowledge of ICT. This means that the students are not yet fully equipped the right tools for the use of these application and that the students still lack specific training for the matter. Table 3 presents the opportunities met by the student teachers in terms of time management, classroom management, lesson planning, and resources. Based on means, the participants met opportunities mostly on using flexible time to manage academic and practice teaching requirements especially the demonstration schedule. That is, the pre-service teachers were using their free time to manage their academic and practice teaching obligations, as well as they mostly take advantage of the demonstration schedule since they could have more time to prepare for learning instructions. Ergene and Kurtca (2020) highlighted the idea that the factor of time management flexibility is effective in self-regulated learning strategy and such flexibility brings about good time management. This means that the student teachers have seen the light of managing their time as a tool of opportunity to do better in every facet of their academic endeavor as well as their practice teaching experience. In terms of classroom management, the participants met opportunities mostly on imposing classroom rules and discipline to students and setting guidelines for students to follow. This implies that pre-service teachers were into disciplining their learners and they were active in supervising their' adherence to classroom rules. Keser and Yavuz (2018) considered that classroom management is all about motivation and disciplining students wherein it was emphasized that teachers should be able to guide the students, but they still need control over their general behavior. This means that it is an opportunity for student teachers to get the gist of managing the class’s attitude towards learning. Moreover, in terms of lesson planning, the participants met opportunities mostly on setting the alignment from teaching-learning activities with the outcome-based objectives. This implies that most of the pre-service teachers utilized available resources to align outcome-based activities, objectives and assessments. This is mirrored in the study of Stigler and Miller (2018) where they have expounded that the students’ learning disposition is one of the key elements in knowing how to integrate their assessment of the students, particularly during their lesson planning. This offers the practice teachers the appropriate exposure to understand and identify the students’ learning disposition in order that they may be able to pattern their future lesson plans in such, when they become full-fledged teachers. As to resources, the participants met opportunities mostly on having easy access to online resources for references. According to Saptani (2017), identified engagement in online tools would allow them to implement better methods of teaching which would increase student motivations. The easy access on online sources have given the student teachers a chance to cultivate their skills in media-based approach in education which would help them cope with the teaching trend leaning towards online applications. Table 3. Extent on Opportunities Met by the Pre-Service Teachers Indicators TIME MANAGEMENT 1. I use flexible time to manage my academic and practice teaching requirements. 2. I use enough time to prepare for my teaching demonstration. 3. I use the flexible demonstration schedule to have a longer time to prepare for learning plans and modules. 4. I use the limited face-to-face mode to have a longer time to cater to students’ needs. 5. I have manageable time to check students’ output, quizzes, assignments, and assessments and channel feedback to them. CLASSROOM MANAGEMENT 1. I impose classroom rules and discipline to students for they have a limited number per session. 2. I set the guidelines and monitor students to follow. 3. I strictly observe and implement Covid-19 protocols in the classroom. 4. Get parents involved through communication channels using the official group chat or mobile calls. 5. Use non-verbal communication to students for understanding. 6. Arrange students to work with an open-ended project in the collaborative station. 7. Communicate to learners about their goals and how these goals would be assessed and achieved. LESSON PLANNING 1. Think deliberately about the choice of lesson objectives, types of activities that will meet these objectives, sequence of those activities, materials needed, time duration, and student’s grouping mechanisms. 2. Set the alignment from teaching-learning activities with the outcome-based objectives and the assessment utilizing the available resources. 3. Utilize effective ice-breaker activities and select best and clear downloaded educational videos to aid the delivery of the content. 4. Provide learning opportunities to students through planning the delivery of the lesson considering the four learning stations. 5. Think of the best teaching methods and strategies that suit the delivery of the content and activities. RESOURCES 1. Have easy access to open-online resources for references. 2. Evaluate textbooks and e-books reading materials and activities which will be included in the learning plan or module. 3. Utilize the available resources of the school such as SMART TV, and projector in my teaching demonstration. 4. Have the experience of using Quipper as the Learning Materials of the school. 5. Be updated of educational software that will aid teachers in online teaching.

It can be observed that the p-value of time management, lesson planning, and resources under the degree program have p-values 0.016, 0.009 and 0.006, respectively, which are less than the level of significance. This implies that the extent of challenges experienced by the participants in terms of time management, lesson planning, and resources varies according to their degree program taken. Table 4.

(2020) affirmed such results in their study as they found the subject group to be a significant predictor which showed positive relations of the respondents regarding their approach in lesson planning. This suggests that variation among student teachers approach in planning their lessons has been different in terms of their courses studied, since discipline used in elementary and secondary education vary in some points which should affect the respondents' challenges on the matter. Furthermore, in the study of Mugot and Sumbalan (2019), they showed that pre-service teachers need to develop their skills in self-directions skills which identified managing and usage of resources as a component, since they lack in such applications. This is evidence that the management as well as the challenges in terms of resources differed between elementary and secondary education students for the reasons that need further study to identify.

It can be observed that all pvalues are higher than the level of significance. This implies that there were no significant differences regarding the opportunities of the participants regardless of age profile. Accordingly, age does not carry a significant impact on pre-service teachers’ pedagogical endeavors (Bartholomaeus et al., 2017), which affirms the results of the current study. This means that the opportunities of the respondents were not varied concerning their age. CONCLUSION Based on the findings of the study, it has been concluded that the extent of challenges experienced by the participants in terms of time management, lesson planning, and resources vary according to their degree program while there is no significant difference observed in terms of the opportunities of the participants when grouped according to the participant’s profile. The overall study demonstrates that the participants' preparation for their lesson plans, observation of COVID-19 protocols, use of the Paulinian Reflex, and adequate instruction in the usage of QUIPPER during practice teaching have moderately challenged them. In addition, they were able to consistently improve their time management skills for academic and practice teaching, as well as the use of flexible demonstration to increase the amount of time they had to prepare for specific classes and modular methods. Improvements in student monitoring, learning aim alignment, and resource use were also evident, in addition to improvements in student discipline. The results of this study have significant implications for how education, especially the practice teaching, is done. The challenges experienced and opportunities met by the pre-service teachers may provide the academic institutions insights to better prepare and hone education students for their practice teaching. Hence, this study may shed light on the value of practice teaching for any endeavors in the education fields. RECOMMENDATION In light of the findings of this study, the researchers have recommended that prior to practice teaching, orientation on the prevalent and persistent issues that have been experienced by prior teaching internship batches may be given emphasis. Sessions may be held to strengthen the teaching techniques and strategies for the factors of time management, classroom management, lesson planning, and resource management. The pre-service teachers may place a strong emphasis on preserving a good rapport to their students and cooperating teachers. Further, researches about practice teaching with large sample sizes from different schools may be conducted for deeper results of investigation. ACKNOWLEDGMENT The researchers would like to extend their gratitude to the following: pre-service teachers of SPUS of the academic year 2021-2022 for their participation in the conduct of this study, the three experts in the field of education for validating the instrument, and the Dean of College of Education, Culture and Arts for her assistance in making this study successful.
