1. What is your research all about?

Our research is about the lived experiences of the Kindergarten parents in the new normal
education whereas the Kindergarten can’t fully adapt in this system. Therefore, our study aims to
determine the challenges faced by the parents, because they are the ones doing the modules of the
pupils, so that we will find ways and interventions as help for the pupils to fully adapt in the New
Normal Education.
2. Do you think it is relevant?/What is the significance of your research?
Our study is relevant, especially in this time of pandemic. We all know that Kindergarten is our
basic foundation of education, thus, if we can’t full immerse ourselves in this, we can’t enjoy the
remaining years of our education. Also, it is relevant because we can observe the will of
kindergarten pupils to study, however, they can’t seem to adapt in this New Normal. Our research
can be a big help to their adaptation and adjustment. Education in this pandemic would be easier
for them, for the teachers, parents and students.
