Findings revealed there were ten (10) motivating factors that help teachers to develop supplementary learning materials namely: helps them to deliver the lesson easier; motivates learners; receives recognition and achievement; promotes participation and ICT collaboration; develops creativity; enhances teaching and learning processes; enhances language, skills and communication; provides contextualized instructional materials; develops skills in writing and drawing; and helps them for ranking purposes. While there were hindering factors why teachers could not develop supplementary learning materials such as: lack of ICT skills and knowledge; lack of time, lack of materials; lack of budget; their teaching loads; additional clerical works; stress; lack of support; no internet connection; and their attitude towards the development of SLMs. Based from the findings of the study, a proposed policy was developed to further improve teachers’ motivational factors in developing SLMs and to respond to the issues addressed by the teachers regarding the matter.
