Abstract/Summary

This study assessed the difficulties teachers encountered in the teaching-learning process. Information was sought as to how often teachers perceived these problems to be occurring. In addition, information as to their preferences for certain types of in-service programs for continuing growth and development was also sought. The researcher made use of the descriptive-survey research method of investigation.

Subsequently, these problems should be studied by educators and administrators of Urios College for them to infer some potentially useful theoretical and practical knowledge which would then constitute a new component in the teachers' in-service education program designed in the context of the actual problem situation. 2. As indicated numerically by the mean responses of teachers to the Teachers Preferences for In-Service Education Programs, teachers do manifest certain preferences for in-service programs from other types in spite of the absence of the significant differences between the in-service programs teachers like best from the ones they like least which phenomenon can be accounted to the limitations of the sample size of the present study. The difficulty lies on identifying which in-service programs teachers like least but when setting of priorities has to be made as to types of in-service progra
