Introduction
One of the most recent public health emergencies of global concern is the recent
COVID19 pandemic, which started in China and almost infected every country in the whole
world. This disease is caused by a novel coronavirus (SARS-CoV-2, previously known as 2019-
nCoV) and has received global attention from growing infections and on how to eradicate the
disease and flatten the curve of infections (Guo et al., 2020). The unfortunate pandemic affected
not only the economy and tourism of the country but as well as education. In order to solve the
problem, the Department of Education (DepEd) implemented the new normal way of learning.
The distance learning which consists of Online, Blended and Modular modalities were chosen by
students depending on their resources. This study aims to determine the impacts of COVID-19
The outcomes of this study are the insights of Grade 12 students of DCNHS on the
impact of Covid-19 in the academic aspect of their lives that can help in the student's self-
awareness and self-concept. In addition, parents can benefit to this study by creating new
disciplinary procedures to support and improve their children's academic performance. Lastly,
curriculum developers, teachers and other academic related organizations can creatively develop
and improve appropriate concept or approach in gaining effective learning system among
students.
Dumaguete City National High school (DCNHS).In this study, I aim to know on what are the
aspects that they are facing right now due to this pandemic, whether it is negative or positive if it
has no effect on their studies and performance as well. I will identify first its positive effect to
know the advantages of COVID-19 towards education how it benefits the students to the
students. Second, are the negative effects of COVID-19 towards education which is very crucial
today to students because of this pandemic. And lastly, I will identify if there is any changes of
The COVID-19 pandemic has forced the Philippine education sector not only to upgrade
its capabilities for remote learning, but more importantly, to realize that it could barely survive
without the social, economic, and political problems of the country being resolved. As it appears,
charging head on into a crisis with these problems as baggage would require Filipino students to
take charge of their education, since their respective families and teachers can only do so much
to help them. However, there is no need to leave these students alone to fend for themselves.
Rather, an opportunity presents itself: to gather students together into small communities –
communities of learning and inquiry – with the help of technology. With the new strategies being
developed and reintroduced, the direction now seems to point to the possibility of fostering
communities of learning and inquiry through distance education (Spencer, 2020), preferably,
using social media. In the end, it will be noteworthy for future researchers to look into how the
community of inquiry and learning framework can best help students from the Philippines as
well as students from other developing and poor countries to achieve quality education through
technology-assisted interventions. The COVID-19 pandemic has produced a new world full of
challenges and dilemmas to opportunities for growth and development for our nation and the
global community.
REVIEW OF RALATED LITERATURE
This chapter presents the related literature and studies after the thorough and in-depth
search done by the researchers. This will also present on how the students are affected upon
facing the academic difficulties due to the COVID 19 Pandemic. Some of the difficulties of the
students are lack of technologies, on how they can access internet, and the pros and cons during
Related Literature
The learning delivery methods that the schools may adopt may be one or a
combination of the following, depending on the limitations of COVID-19 and the specific
context of the learners in the school or locality. Traditional Face to Face learning where
students and teacher will interact physically. Because of this pandemic Distance Learning
was being implemented all throughout the country. To continue the learning of the
students through modalities which includes Modular distance learning, online distance
have decided to close down schools, colleges and universities. The crisis crisscrosses the
dilemma that policymakers face between closing schools (reducing contact and saving
lives) and keeping them open (allowing workers to work and maintaining the economy).
Many families around the world are experiencing serious short-term disruptions: home
schooling is not only a massive shock to parents' productivity, but also to children's social
life and learning. Teaching is moving online, on an unprecedented and untested scale.
Student assessments also move online, with a process of trial and error and uncertainty
for everyone. Many of the analyses have simply been cancelled. Importantly, these
distractions will not only be a short-term issue, but may also have long-term
repercussions for the affected cohorts and are likely to increase inequalities.

Perseverance
Patience is a virtue, same it goes for the perseverance. This virtue keeps a person on its
right path, a thing the researchers discovered from the participants. Students have a strong will to
finish their studies despite the challenges and the pandemic occurring around them. Even though
the new normal way of learning is difficult, it is an opportunity to learn. Thus, perseverance is
Skills Enhancement
Every student have unique talents, abilities, and skills that were enhanced all throughout
their life. Two important life skills that can be applied during the pandemic are decision making
skills and independent learning skills. Deciding on what courses to take in college is crucial for
the participants. As well as learning independently due to the new normal way of learning. Time
to time, these set of skills were enhanced by the participants. Thus, the researchers concluded
that skills enhancement is one of the positive impacts of COVID-19 among students.
Self-factor Problems
The pandemic changed everything including the lifestyle of the students. This came with
new difficulties and challenges they face. It includes tardiness and difficulty in learning
independently. These problems can be only solve through the efforts of the students. The
researchers were aware of these problems as negative impacts of COVID-19 and recommend
students to practice time management and access the internet for more information about the
lessons.
School-factor Problems
In this new normal way of education, both parties (teachers and students) were
challenged in achieving quality learning. In this study, the researchers found out that students
were bombarded with school activities and lacks time answering the modules. The researchers
suggest that modules and activities can be easily accomplished specially this pandemic that
Technological Problems
The new normal way of learning brought new way of accessing information through
technological devices. The major problem that students encounter is having unstable internet
connection. While some of the students have no mobile phones or no internet access as well.
These problems were acknowledge by the researchers and suggest that government must also
