Abstract: The study explored the lived experiences of the Out-of-Field Junior High School Science teachers. The study was conducted in the main school of Bukidnon National High School for the school year 2017-2018. There were 12 participants purposively selected. This study used descriptive qualitative research design using narrative analysis. Data from semi-structured interview and focus group discussion were coded and analyzed qualitatively to identify pattern in order to create major themes. In each major theme, subthemes were also identified. Furthermore, in each subtheme there were also specific themes identified. The findings reveal that, the Out-of-Field Junior High School Science Teachers encountered challenges, problems/difficulties in teaching Science subjects specifically in teaching Science content, in preparing the lesson plan, in choosing instructional materials, in selecting teaching strategies, in integrating technology and in the assessment of learning. However, all the challenges, problems/difficulties encountered by the Out-of-Field Junior High School Science Teachers were addressed by them but they still find it inadequate to deliver what is expected of them. Despite the challenges, problems/difficulties encountered by the Out-of-Field Junior High School Science Teachers, they still persist to teach Science Subjects because of their pursuit to develop learning effectiveness among the learners.
