CHAPTER 1

The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

Humanities and Social Science can help you see what's going on in our society.

The word "HUMANISTA" will be used to describe those who will be participating

in the HUMSS strand. The study of human behavior and interaction in social,

cultural, environmental, economic, and political contexts falls under the umbrella

of humanities and social sciences. This strand will assist you in improving your

speaking abilities. Humanista excels at debating since this strand is littered with

them. As a HUMSS student, I strongly advise you to pursue this strand because

it will raise your trust and allow you to showcase your secret talents. But how

does educational institution can provide a great Humanista, a great servant or

even how does school can give a good quality of learning in the midst of

pandemic.

Humanities and Social Sciences student are known for being well in terms of

communication skills, but now that the world is facing pandemic how does the

development of communication skills change. Technologies is the platform of

education in this time where the there is no face to face class in the way of

learning is through educational application such as Google Meet, Google

Classroom, Zoom and also text lectures. The way of learning in the midst of
 GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

pandemic lessen the quality of education specially for those students who is

modular learner and taking the strand of Humanities and Social Sciences strand,

how those students can develop the things needed to develop like

communication skills and how this new learning system change the way of

Humanities and Social Sciences student on learning things.

The new effect of this new learning system is a struggle to all of of the strudents

around the world. This research is all about the Effect of the New Learning

System to Humanities and Social Sciences Modular Learner Communication

Skills, In this chapter the researchers will focus to introduce the issue that the

researchers wants to study and to know the opinions of the students who is

affected to this issue. This will give show the problems that the researchers

wants to give an answer, this also show where will this study take place and who

are the people will be involve in this study and also this part will showcase what

the researches want to aim upon doing this rearch.

Year 2019 up until now, pandemic outbreak affects everyone in all aspects. Due

to this, learning system in education must have a change in which students only

meet their professors online and the information and knowledge needed by the

student will get in modules that will issued. Many student says that traditional

learning system is more better than the new learning system because the source

of knowledge of students will gather are from the teachers unlike in the this new

learning system that the only place to gather information is through online. As of
 GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

today, many students struggles in the new learning system not just physically but

also emotionally and mentally. It clearly shows that the mental health of every

students are also affected due to this matter. There are a number of issues

related to online classes and the quality of learning is lessen because of the

barrier given by the new learning system. Any teaching, learning and assessment

solution must be aware of this fact. Learners doing well often have a good level

of independent learning and high levels of communication skills which can be get

if both sides is responsible and capable to cope the new ways of learning. On the

other hand not everyone has a same learning styles so it is needed to give extra

focus specially to those students who is having a hard time in this time.

Statement of the Problem

The researchers’ aims to answer the following questions regarding to their study

entitled, ’’ Effect of the New Learning System to Humanities and Social Sciences

Modular Learner Communication Skills’’.

1. What are the ways of HUMSS modular learner to improve their communication skills

while in the new learning system?

2. How does new learning system affects the modular learner communication skills?

3. What are the changes that a HUMSS modular student experience while studying in

the new learning system?

 GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

4. What are the challenges that a HUMSS modular learner faces during new learning

system that involves in communication skills?

5. How important for a humss modular learner to improve their communication skills?

Theoretical Framework

The researchers harbored this study on the following theories. The following theories

helped the researchers to aim their objectives about The Effect of The New Learning

System to Humanities and Social Sciences Modular Learners Communication Skills The

Triarchic Theory of Intellectual Abilities. According to the Theory of Intellectual Abilities

(Sternberg, 1985; 1986:23), three kinds of intellectual abilities exist, namely analytical,

creative, and practical abilities. Analytical or componential intelligence includes

academic tasks, critical thinking capacities, and dynamic thinking. Creative Intelligence

or, also known as experimental intelligence, is flexible with new knowledge and new

task. Creative Intelligence is also an ability of a person to apply its existing knowledge to

current problems, aside from that, creative intelligence has two (2) types: Novelty and

automatization. Novelty concerns how an individual responds when they experience

something new. Automatization concerns how an individual figure out to perform

repetitive tasks naturally. It identifies practical intelligence as to how individuals respond

to their current circumstances and can adjust to it and capable to deal with reality. A

person who has this practical intelligence is difficult to take advantage of. Measures of

abilities focus mainly on analytical abilities, whereas all three types of abilities need to be

regarded as equally important. Research by Sternberg (1997b:24) showed that: The

more we teach and assess students based on a broader set of abilities, the more
 GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

racially, ethnically, and socioeconomically diverse our achievers will be. The Theory of

Mental Self-Government. Sternberg developed the Mental SelfGovernment learning

hypothesis in 1994. It is an idea of intelligence that likens to mixes of individual

inclinations from three levels of Mental Self-Government. These three levels relate to:

Functions of Governments of the Mind which includes Legislative (making, arranging,

envisioning, and detailing), Executive (actualizing and doing), and Judicial (judging,

assessing, and contrasting). Stylistic Preferences Includes Internal (Like to be by

themselves) External (Like to collaborate and work in groups. And lastly, Forms of

Mental Self-Government, includes Monarchic (These people perform best when goals

are singular. They deal best with one goal or need at a time) Hierarchic (these people

can focus on multiple goals at once and recognize that all goals cannot be fulfilled

equally. These people can prioritize goals easily), Oligarchic )These people deal well

with goals that are of equal weight, but they have difficulty prioritizing goals of different

weight) Anarchic (These people depart from form and precedent. Often they don't like or

understand the need for rules and regulations. They operate without rules or structure,

creating their problem-solving techniques with insights that often easily break existing

mindsets). The point of this theory is that each student has their way of learning or

selfgovernment, but still they were taught by just one teacher that has different

selfgovernment. Furthermore, research by Sternberg emphasizes that students' learning

and thinking styles(Sternberg, 1997a) (which are usually ignored), together with their

ability levels, play an important role in student performance (Sternberg, 1992:134;

1994:36-40; Sternberg and Grigorenko, 1997:295). The Theory of Mental Self-

Government refers to an inventory of different thinking styles that shows people's

preference for thinking patterns. Where the Triarchic Theory focuses on the ability itself,
 GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

the theory of Mental SelfGovernment refers to different thinking styles which makes up

the preference in using abilities (Sternberg, 1990:366-371). In light of the above theories,

this study adopted the theory of mental self-government as the most appropriate one in

enhancing students 'academic performance at UNZA main campus. The reason is that

the learning and thinking styles of students at the campus can either be reinforced,

leading to excellent academic performance or hindered leading to poor academic

performance. This is heavily contingent upon the availability and provision of several

essential facilities such as excellent study materials, accommodation, conducive learning

environment (lecture theatres), good water, and sanitation facilities among others. These

being available and in the provision, students' potential abilities to be analytical, creative,

and practical as described in Triarchic theory also become reinforced.

Conceptual Framework

Scope and Limitations

This study focuses on the Effect of the New Learning System to Humanities and

Social Sciences Modular Learner Communication Skills. It revolves to the issue

of the new learning system to the students communication skills and how this

way of learning change the quality of learning does a student have when using

the traditional way of learning.

This study is for the Grade 11 and Grade 12 students of Golden Success

College Manila who is taking a strand of Humanities and Social Sciences who

choose the modular modality in the school year 2020-2021.

Significance of the Study

This study will focus to the topic of the “Effect of The New Learning System to

Humanities and Social Sciences Modular Learners Communication Skills”.

Benefiting the study are the various sectors as follows To the students, the

direct recipients of the output of this research are the Humanities amd Social Sciences

students who's learning communication skills. Any improvement of classroom

management techniques can pave the way of producing learning and discipline. To the

parents, As parents enrolled their children in this institution, comes with self-assurance

that their children are given more education that would make them a functional individual

and also to improve their communication skills. To the teachers, this study will be very

beneficial to the teachers who's teaching a humss strand and communication teachers,

especially to the teachers who are still newbie in the teaching profession. Through this

research, teacher may purposefully discover how classroom management is conductive

to learning.To the future researchers, this research will be useful reference for the

researchers who would plan to make any related study precisely the effect of the new

learning system to humanities and social sciences modular learners communication

skills.

To the future researchers, this study will serve as a reference and good source to

them. This will be their guide for the further research and also can help them in

conducting further studies regarding to the Persistency of Online Learners in Golden

Success College-Manila as they try to survive and continue their study during the midst

of crisis.

CHAPTER 2

REVIEW OF LITERATURE AND STUDIES

This chapter contain some studies that helps to give supoort the topic chosen by the

researchers where it focuses on the Effect of The New Learning System to Humanities

and Social Sciences Modular Learners Communication Skills to prove that the certain

issue in this research is existing in this time where the students uses technology as a

solution to the educational problem cause by the pandemic that the society facing in this

time Students Motivation

Blended Learning

Blended Learning has become one of the most common ways to teach EFL (English as

a Foreign Language) due to its double component, which integrates Face-to-Face

classes with virtual learning in order to offer students a wide range of materials and

resources organized in a methodological way. Over the years, teachers and students

have changed the way this educational process is seen because new technologies have

been implemented and teachers have to propose new ways of working to display

materials that complement EFL Face-to-Face classes. However, the implementation of a

Blended Course must have a pedagogical foundation for each setting where it is planned

in order to be developed. This article seeks to present some integrative components of

Blended Learning and how they have been applied in several researches done in

different contexts as well as to present some considerations to keep in mind when

designing, implementing and evaluating this model. Besides, it encourages teachers to

reflect upon Blended Learning (BL) as a potential and different way to approach learning

EFL, taking advantage of all the emerging pedagogical tools.

Positive and Negative Effect of New Learning System

The traditional learning is a way of learning uses for many years it is a learning where

the presence of the teacher and a student is connected in real time which make easy for

the student to learn properly and it is easy for them to develop the communication skills

that the students have because the instructor managed to teach linear method to the

student that gives more focus to the students while online learning is way of learning

uses technologies because of the pandemic it is a way of learning that unbounded and

dynamic, it uses asynchronous communication and a real-time information however this

way of learning is not applicable for all the students in this time. Online learning has a

postive and negative effects to the quality of learning that a student can adopt. Positive

effect of online learning is it enhances the understanding of a student, it reduces the

failure of the students, it will show the versatility of a student in participation to a class

and the accessibility to the information needed by the student while studying the reason

why it is more convenience while the negative effect of it is, it limits the interaction of the

students to other people where they can't able to improve the skills, the learning process

is using applications and also text base lectures that makes more complicated to learn

and lastly it is not applicable for all the students and this is the reason why the skills of

the students is not improving too much unlike tradional learning.

Communication Skills Development in New Learning System

The development of the communication skills of a student depends on the instructor. An

instructor has a role to be an effective comminicator and that will be adopt by the student

who interact with instructor and in this way the efficiency of the communucation skills of

a student will be higher than expected. Most of the people define online learning as a
 GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

solution to the educational problem that the student facing and it is a way in accessing

technologies to become flexible in participation in a class and this way is more

convenient than before. However the people who experience online learning which are

the students idenfy the issues that online learning has problems where there are

students who left behind in this new learning system and the communication skills are

not improving because online learning uses a non-verbal communucation for the

modular learnerns which is hard for the student to develop the skill that they needed to

develop so that online learning is a faceless way of study where if it is not use properly

there are misunderstanding and it could turn negative in the eyes of the people who

experience it.

Distance Education

Rapid advancement in information technology has had an effect on how education is

delivered and experienced. The effect of on-line education on students' success and

persistence in their first year of university was investigated using archival data. The

findings of this study indicate that first-year university success and persistence vary

substantially between students who have had prior online education experiences and

those who have not.

Education in geographically isolated and scattered rural areas has long been a source of

consternation for educational policymakers in Canada and around the world.

Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada's easternmost province, has a population of

approximately 505,000 people, with around half of them living in rural settlements.

Almost two-thirds of the province's 285 public schools were located in rural areas during

the 2006-2007 school year (Newfoundland and Labrador, 2006; 2007). Surprisingly,
 GOLDEN SUCCESS COLLEGE - MANILA

about a third of the province's public schools are designated as "necessarily existent" –

they can't be closed because the distance to the nearest school is too great School by

bus is too far away to be practical, particularly in bad weather. In the past, schools in the

province's most remote areas struggled to attract and maintain trained teachers with the

necessary subject matter skills, making it impossible for some rural schools to have a full

range of course choices (Crocker & Riggs, 1979; House, 1986; Riggs, 1987; Crocker,

1989). This problem has gotten worse in recent years. The aim of the study was to look

at one approach that has been used to solve this issue, and how that solution – distance

e-learning – has impacted subsequent student performance and

achievement.Newfoundland and Labrador has seen rapid urbanization and outmigration

over the last quarter-century as a result of drastic changes in labor market conditions in

the province's resource-based industries (e.g., fisheries, oil). Many of the province's

geographically scattered rural communities have seen their populations decline due to

demographic changes and shifting age structures (Galway & Dibbon, 2008).

A increasing number of rural high school graduates in the province have completed a

portion of their schooling in non-traditional classroom settings such as on-line learning

environments. These graduates make up a small percentage (less than 15%) of the first-

year student population at Memorial University of Newfoundland, the province's

university. Although post-secondary student persistence theories have looked into the

effects of student context characteristics, none have considered the impact of prior on-

line distance course experience on post-secondary student outcomes.
