In recent years, numerous changes and developments have taken place, particularly in the field of education and curriculum. Because of this, it is only necessary that the quality of education in the country keeps pace. At present, new definitions and directions are emerging in the field. Despite various challenges and controversies, the introduction of a new curriculum aims to provide greater relevance to the current state of education. In line with this, the study seeks to answer the following questions: (1) What is the level of knowledge, skills, and values of Grade 7 teachers in relation to the Matatag Curriculum? (2) What are the peculiar experiences of teachers during the initial implementation of the Matatag Curriculum? (3) What interventions may be implemented to enhance the knowledge, skills, and values of Grade 7 teachers in relation to the Matatag Curriculum?
Guided by Cognitive Load, Skill Development, and Expectancy-Value Theory, this research examined how teachers process information, enhance their skills, and sustain their motivation, which affect their readiness under the Matatag Curriculum. This study employed a descriptive design and was conducted in three schools in Camarines Sur, particularly Naga City Science High School (NCSHS), Pamplona National High School (PNHS), and Jose C. Prevosa Sr. National High School (JCPSNHS). The results of the study revealed that the level of knowledge, skills, and values of Grade 7 teachers in relation to the Matatag Curriculum is only at a moderate level, that teachers encountered difficulties and confusion during the initial phase of implementation, and that intensive training and the availability of more books are the primary interventions that may be implemented to enhance the knowledge, skills, and values of Grade 7 teachers in relation to the Matatag Curriculum.
