Abstract
This study aimed to explore the strategies of Filipino teachers employ to build psychological resilience in the workplace utilizing exploratory factor analysis. The study identified eight themes and seven dimensions integral to resilience in teaching. These encompassed aspects like Mindful Resilience, Growth-Oriented Resilience, and Empathetic Engagement. The reliability of these dimensions was confirmed through a high Cronbach's Alpha score, establishing the validity of the measurement instrument with 48 items across seven dimensions. The findings revealed a multifaceted approach to resilience, emphasizing the need for emotional intelligence, adaptability, and professional growth. The high reliability and validity of the resilience strategies scale suggested its utility in educational settings for both research and practical assessment. Based on these insights, the study recommends that school administrators implement comprehensive resilience training programs and establish robust support systems within schools. For teachers, continuous professional development focused on resilience and mindfulness is crucial. Additionally, learners should be encouraged to develop resilience skills and foster a supportive learning environment. Future researchers are advised to expand the participant pool and enhance the generalizability of the results. These recommendations aim to foster a holistic approach in education that intertwines teacher well-being with professional competence, creating an environment where resilience is both taught and embodied.
