ABSTRACT

— The study centers on the functioning of the teachers handling subjects not on the expertise. This is also the opportunity for the teacher handling subjects of not their major. The academic curriculum is not fixated and installed in educational agenda. There is a need for renovation. There are two identified research gaps. These are the population and practical-research gaps. The research design has used multiple case studies. The data collection techniques have used the interview, observation, and focus group discussion. The purposive sampling techniques are used in selecting the participant. The data analysis has used the analytical basis for identifying experiences, describing phenomenon, interpreting meaning, developing sense, and clustering themes. The findings present the four subtopics with ten themes. These are the operational functioning with themes teacher functioning, facilitating know-how, and handling nonmajor; teaching practice intervention with themes teaching experiences, delivery mode and considerable factors; facilitating expertise with themes expertise facilitation and improvement practice; handling generality with themes generalization handling and development strategy. The study concludes that the focus is on the teacher operational functioning. This is about the facilitating of expertise and handling the generalized subjects. This is the challenge among the secondary teachers on how to handle nonmajor subjects and boast their potentials. There are notions that the teachers are creative even not their expertise, but they can manage to handle with the application of different strategies and approaches. The study recommends that there is a need to: 1) conduct enhancement with teachers; 2) allow the teachers to have enough preparation; 3) ensure collaborative effort; 4) work closely with the policy makers for legislation.
