This study aims to know the lived experiences of teachers in utilizing positive reinforcements to improve the students’ academic achievement. This study adapted a qualitative research design utilizing phenomenology as its methodology and a validated researcher-made interview guide questionnaire. This study was conducted at Initan Elementary School, located at Brgy. Initan, Sibalom, Antique, during the school year 2022-2023. Results revealed that there are four main types of reinforcements that the teachers use, namely: natural reinforcement, tangible reinforcement, social reinforcement, and token reinforcement. For the students in higher grade levels such as those from Grade 4, Grade 5, and Grade 6, social reinforcements are best used. On the other hand, students who are from the lower year levels such as Kindergarten, Grade 1, and Grade 2, and Grade 3, token reinforcements are more effective. It was further revealed that there are also instances where the teachers may encounter challenges in implementing positive reinforcement techniques inside the classroom. At the end of this study, an intervention program was proposed to help the teachers with the aforementioned struggles.
