Lived Experiences of Teachers in Coaching Radio Broadcasting and Script Writing Competition: A Phenomenological Study

Extracurricular activities, including school journalism and media competitions, are critical in the modern educational system in developing learners' overall growth (Armadi et al., 2024; Dung, 2024; Sternberg et al., 2024). School journalism and media competitions are fundamental platforms for the development of communication skills, critical thinking, and good citizenship among students (Almakaty, 2024; Fu & Ning, 2024; Kwigira et al., 2024). These competitions are typically coached by teachers and advisers, who serve as role models, guiding students through various levels of preparation and performance. Yet, despite the significance of these coaching positions, most educators face various challenges that can hinder effectiveness and student competition success (Fowler, 2025). Insight into the experiences of such coaches is essential for determining areas of support and improvement within school-based media programs.
