Abstract : This study examined how teaching resilience affects teacher commitment. Explanatory sequential mixed approaches were used to collect data from 198 public elementary school teachers in Talomo-A District, Davao City. Among quantitative responders, 17 were selected for IDI and FGD. Teacher commitment was moderate, while behavioral flexibility was great. Behavioral flexibility in self-assurance, organization, and interpersonal competency strongly influenced teacher commitment, according to regression analysis. Thematic analysis of qualitative data showed that teachers had broad behavioral flexibility, moderate commitment, and that behavioral flexibility strongly influences commitment. The regression model shows that behavioral flexibility is one reason instructors' commitment is somewhat high. The data integration method connecting- merging-confirmation explained the study's quantitative outcomes using qualitative results. Thus, the study was done to publish findings in respectable research journals.
