As a result of the ongoing pandemic, there are changes that have occurred in this world.
In order to prevent the spread of the deadly virus, events which involve having to be in contact
with other people was prohibited. Things such as going to work, attending school, shopping in
malls, and even going to church was prohibited. Because of this drastic change of events, there
were many events that surely affected the way of living of people. One of the affected factors are
the educational sectors. Schools were forced to close in order to prevent the spread of the virus
and to protect the students and teachers. Because of this, online learning is now the most evident
way of studying and learning whilst being safe in the students’ own homes.

This study determines the relationship of online learning and the students’ academic
performance amid the COVID-19 pandemic. This research also answers the following questions:
(1) How can the respondents’ online learning be described in terms of ability, motivation,
quantity of instruction, quality of instruction, home environment, and classroom environment?
(2) What is the academic performance of the respondents? (3) How significant is the relationship
between the respondents' online teaching and their academic performance?

The findings of this study are as follows: First, the online learning of the students’ in
terms of ability, motivation, quantity of instruction, quality of instruction, home environment,
and class environment is low. Second, the academic performance of the students, shows that
most of the students got 85-94.99, as measured by the GWA or General Weighted Average. And
third, there is a moderate correlation when it comes to the online learning of the students and
their academic performance.

THE PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING

Introduction 
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
Online learning, as defined by Friedman (2019), is the way of studying wherein the

internet is used as a medium for teaching in replacement to the traditional face-to-face type of

education. It is a process of gaining knowledge from the instructors either through video calls,

through the internet, or through research. According to Friedman & Moody (2020), Online

classes can be classified into two (2): synchronous, wherein students participate and attend in

live lecture video sessions through different video conferencing applications; and asynchronous,

wherein students do not attend live lectures yet complete their tasks depending on their

availability.

Ever since the World Health Organization (WHO) declared that the world is

undergoing a pandemic on March 11, 2020, it was expected that many things will change from

that point onwards. One of the major things that changed was the means of education. In the

Philippines, a country which is known as a “third world country” or a “developing country”, the

type of education also switched to online learning. 

According to Flores (2020), online classes are all about opportunities and

accessibility. Not all of the students are able to have access to the internet. In fact, when this was

declared by the Department of Education (DepEd), many students have a hard time coping up.

Many disagreed with it, gaining criticism from the public. For the school year 2020-2021, as

stated by Magsambol (2020), the Department of Education garnered a total of 21,344,915

enrolled students, which is only 76% of the enrolled students in the previous school year. There

are more than 6 million students who have failed to enroll for this school year.

Berman (2019) stated that most people say that learning through the internet won’t

bring anything good to the learners. It is not the usual way of learning and may provide different
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
kinds of distractions along the way. According to Kritz (2020), when the quarantine was

implemented in the Philippines, online learning was suggested by the government to be the new

means of education. However, not all of the students all over the country are capable of

supporting online classes, due to some rural areas lacking internet connection and electricity.

Because of this supposed ‘new means’ of education, many students could be left behind. 

Due to the ongoing global pandemic which resulted in the normalization of online

classes, the researchers have found interest in understanding how the shift from traditional face-

to-face classes to online classes affected the academic performance of students. The results of

this study are aimed to help improve the provision of education through online classes. 

Theoretical Framework 

This study will be anchored on Theory of Educational Productivity by Reynolds &

Walberg (1992) which, according to Chemosit C. & Rugutt J.(2005), explains that the academic

performance or outcomes of a student is affected by the psychological environment and

characteristics of the learner. McGrew, K. S. (2007) stated that it is one of the few theories about

school learning which is verified empirically. The theory gave way to a general agreement on

the essential factors affecting the learning of a student. 

According to the Theory of Educational Productivity, as cited by Kuterbach J.

(2013),  the cognitive and psychological performance of a learner is influenced by 9 factors: age,

past achievements, motivation, instructional quantity or time spent studying, instructional

quality, class environment, peer environment, home environment, and mass media.

Figure 1. Model of Theoretical Framework (Fischer H., et al. 2012, p.6)

Figure 1 shows Walberg's (1981) model of educational productivity. According to

Fischer H., et al. (2012), the model shows the factors influencing the learning outcomes in 3

groups: the individual characteristics of the student, consisting of the student’s ability,

motivation, and development; the characteristics of the instruction or teaching, made up of the

teachings’ quantity (time spent learning) and quality; and lastly, the characteristics of the

learning environment, being made up of the home, classroom, peer group, and mass media

environment. All of these 3 groups of factors influence the learner’s academic outcomes, in all

affective, behavioral, and cognitive aspects.

Operational Framework 

The operational framework of this study will be anchored on the Theory of

Educational Productivity proposed by Reynolds & Walberg (1981) which explains that the
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
cognitive and academic performance of a student is influenced by a number of factors. Such

factors include the following: environment type, teaching type, and characteristic type.

Figure 2. Operational model showing the relationship among variables

Figure 2 is an operational model illustrating the relationships of the variables in the

study. The independent variable, which is the online learning of the respondent, will be

described by the student's will towards online learning, time consumed studying, quality of

instruction, class environment, and home environment.  On the other hand, the dependent

variable, which is the academic performance of the respondents, will be described in terms of

the General Weighted Average (GWA). The researchers will then relate the independent and

dependent variables to one another.

Statement of the Problem

This study aims to determine  the relationship of teaching online to the students’

academic performance.

1. How can the respondents’ online learning be described in terms of:


University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
1.1 ability;

1.2 motivation;

1.3 quantity of instruction;

1.4 quality of instruction;

1.5 home environment; and

1.6 classroom environment?

2. What is the academic performance of the respondents?

3. How significant is the relationship between the respondents' online teaching and their

academic performance?

Hypothesis of the Study

To answer the main problem, the researchers will test the following hypothesis at

0.05 level of significance:

H0 = There is no significant relationship between the respondents' online teaching

and their academic performance. 

Assumptions of the Study 

The researchers will base this study on the following assumptions:

1. The type of primary gadget used affects the academic performance of students.

2. The length of time spent studying has a varying effect on the academic performance of a

student .   
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
3. A student’s attitude has its negative and positive effects that may contribute to their

academic performance. 

4. The quality of the educational environment of a student’s is proportional to the student’s

academic performance.

5. The explanation of the given instruction by the teacher or instructor will affect the

students’ understanding upon a certain topic. 

Scope and Delimitations 

This study will mainly focus on the impact of the shift to teaching online on students'

academic performance. The respondents of the study will be described in terms of their will

towards online learning, time consumed studying, quality of instruction, class environment, and

home environment. Meanwhile, how teaching online affects academic performance will be

described in terms of behavioral attitude toward learning and of general weighted average

(GWA).

The respondents of this study will consist of 284 senior high school students enrolled

for synchronous classes in University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA, Binan

City, Laguna during the Academic Year 2020-2021.

Significance of the Study 

This study aims to identify the impact of online learning on students’ academic

performance amidst the pandemic, review related studies, bridge the existing gap, and help in

improving the educational provision through online classes. 


University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
This study will benefit students in a way that this study will help in the further

improvement of their educational experience through online classes. 

This study will also benefit the parents to understand the changes done by the shift

in education from traditional face-to-face to online learning. This may also serve as a guide for

the parents to know more about the adjustments needed to be done for the comfort of the

learners.                 

This study may also help the teachers to have a proper understanding on how to

communicate with their students better, in virtual ways, through the use of different kinds of

video conferencing applications/websites. It may also be beneficial for the teachers to find

different ways of approaching the students in order to attain higher grades. 

This may also be beneficial to the government in a way that, through the help of this

study, they will be able to gain more understanding of the current situations in the educational

system of the Philippines. This study will help them to better ascertain what is needed and what

could be added more in the systems and programs related to education.

This study will also benefit the researchers of this study in a way that it will help

them to have a deeper understanding and knowledge about the research topic. This will also

allow them to improve cognitively, behaviorally, and psychologically. This will allow them to

become better learners, researchers, and citizens.

This analysis will also benefit future researchers in having a more comprehensive

perspective towards the research topic which is related to their own theses. This may also serve

as a reference that future researchers may use in the future.

REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

This chapter reviews the related literature which supported the details of this

comprehensive study. This chapter also provided a synthesis of the reviewed related literature

and studies, and a discussion of the gaps to be bridged by this research.

State of the Art

The researcher presented both local and foreign literature and studies to provide a

comprehensive background of the problem under study. Concepts, findings, theories, and

notions from scholarly researches and articles presented may later on be fortified, negated, or

improved by the additional knowledge that this study will provide.

Impact of the Pandemic

According to the study conducted by Onyema et al. (2020) the COVID-19

pandemic affected different sectors of all the countries in the world due to its fast spread and
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
devastating health effects this forces all of the countries that is affected by the outbreak of the

disease to completely altered the lifestyle of its own citizens. Billions of people young or old are

forced to stay at home to try to stop the widespread spread of the extremely contagious disease.

Millions of people lost their lives because of COVID-19 virus and thousands of people are still

continuously infected everyday. A big part of the world population has lost their lives and also

their livelihoods, all this due to the devastating pandemic.

An example of the effects or impacts of the pandemic is the closing of schools in

order to prevent the spread of the virus. In order to prevent the spread of the virus, this was

implemented. As a result, many children and their parents are forced to stay at home and

conduct their studies and work from their homes. Even though this may be a good thing for an

individual to avoid getting the COVID-19 virus, this will greatly affect their social life, skills

and learning abilities (Burgess & Sievertsen, 2020).

Not just the health and job sectors of countries all over the world are affected by

the COVID-19. This global pandemic also has a major impact on education. Since thousands of

schools all over the world are forced to close and discontinue their traditional face-to-face

classes, this can cause delays in the academic calendar. All educational institutions are majorly

challenged by the COVID-19 pandemic that is still currently experienced all over the globe

(Toquero, 2020).

The pandemic forces over one billion learners to be unable to continue their

academic year. According to the result that was gathered in the study of UNESCO (2020) it

manifests that the pandemic shows a major impact on the education sector of countries all over

the world. This includes the disruption in academic learning of the students, lack of optimal

learning environment or facilities, and higher student debts. This catastrophic effects of the
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
pandemic may last much longer than expected due to the continuous spread of the said disease

all over the world. Another thing is that the cure for the COVID-19 disease is still not yet

developed by any health sectors all over the globe.

Voa News (2020) also stated that prolonged idleness of the youth without any

engagement in any academic program due to the global pandemic can cause negative effects on

one’s academic interest and performance. This may lead to the loss of will to study for the

learners. This is a negative effect that is caused by the unplanned school closures because of the

pandemic. Youth involvement in crimes and higher crime rates in general may also increase.

The first case of the COVID-19 was recorded on January 30, 2020. The patient

was a 38-year old woman from Wuhan, China, the place where COVID-19 originated. Because

of this, the virus continues to spread at a very alarming rate. State of calamity was declared by

the government for 6 months, and in connection to this, quarantine was also implemented. Aside

from the quarantine implemented, preventive measures were also implemented by the

government. Travel bans, closing of schools, and banning of mass gatherings are some of the

restrictions made.

As a result of these adjustments, the economy of the Philippines was greatly

affected. In 2010-2018, there was a 6.3% economic growth observed. However, in the first half

of 2019, the economic growth went down to 5.8% only, smaller than 2010-2018. It has been

predicted that the Philippines will also have another decrease in its economic growth in this year,

2020. The coronavirus outbreak could also bring a major impact to the country’s economy, said

by the Central Bank of the Philippines or also known as the Bangko Sentral ng Pilipinas (BSP)

(Duddu, 2020).

Difficulties of Online Learning


University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department

The COVID-19 virus has made a serious negative impact on the educational

sectors which caused schools all over the world to postpone their academic years and to

discontinue the traditional face-to-face classes (UNESCO, 2020). Due to this, a lot of countries

opted to use online learning to cope with the closing of millions of schools all over the world

and to also provide continuity of academic programs for billions of students (The World Bank,

2020). But the transition from the traditional classes to online classes is not seamless as a lot of

individuals that participated in the online academic classes including parents, teachers, and of

course, the students, experience different kinds of difficulties in conducting and participating in

online classes. These are inevitable as we all know, so here are some of the problems that may

arise during online learning. According to Erika et al. (2020), one problem that may arise during

the conduction of online education is the quality of teaching that is given in the online

environment.

Even though technology can at least, simulate the traditional face-to-face class

through the use of video conferencing applications for synchronous classes, it still cannot fully

replace the important interaction between the learner and the educator during the traditional

face-to-face classes. Another problem that may be encountered during online learning according

to Alsayed et al. (2020) is the unequal access to digital gadgets. As stated, online classes are

conducted through the use of online materials, without the actual face-to-face meeting, and

digital gadgets are a must. Unfortunately, not all the people have the financial capacity to buy

optimal digital gadgets that can be used in online classes. Aside from the problems with digital

gadgets, internet connectivity, audio clarity, outdated device and software, system glitch, and

short attention span may occur (Amadora, 2020).


University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
The technological incompetence of a lot of schools and universities around the

world may also be a problem. A lot of these academic sectors are not prepared due to the sudden

shift of academic programs from the traditional face-to-face to the new normal in learning or

online learning. Hence, resulting in the below average quality of education given by some

schools and universities (Toquero, 2020). Online learning problems do not just affect learners

according to Kanematsu and Barry (2020). Teaching problems are also commonly encountered

by the teachers in their online learning sessions with their students.

Some of the problems are the lack of familiarity with the video communication

application that is commonly used in today’s new normal in academic teaching. It affects the

quality of education that the teachers give and the quality of education that the students receive.

Not just that, another concern is that students may fall into addiction with the use of the internet

for classes. This may affect the student’s learning and academic performance (Vishakha &

Jagpreet, 2017). A study made by Soland et al. (2020), has shown that students may be left

behind especially in the subject Mathematics, variability may occur when returning to normal

classes, and that the gap between students may greatly be changed and affected.

Effect of Online Learning

The COVID-19 pandemic has greatly affected the entire world. One of the most

affected sectors is the educational sector. The shift from the traditional face-to-face classes, to

online classes is now being implemented almost over the entire world. According to the study

made by Balram (2020), in order to slow down the spread of the COVID-19 virus, schools have

decided to close temporarily, and conduct classes virtually. This has greatly affected not just the

students, but also the teachers and instructors.


University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
Schools all over the globe were never ready for this kind of situation. There are

many adjustments needed in order to prepare for an online academic year. It was also said by

García and Weiss (2020) that this may greatly affect the students’ academic performance. As

time goes by, with this kind of education, the students’ developmental skills and academic

performance might deteriorate.

School is also the place where social interaction happens between the students to

their classmates, and to their teachers. This is one of the things that is affected by the sudden

shift of traditional face-to-face classes, to online classes. According to Naveen (2020),

interaction with peers will help a child develop a stable social environment and develop skills

like boundary setting, empathy and cooperation. The shift to virtual learning has brought drastic

changes like this to an individual’s development and growth.

Aside from these, online learning can help a student develop his or her own

strategic way of learning. An individual may learn how to be independent when it comes to

studying, unlike when in traditional classes (Naveen, 2020). This may either be a good thing or a

bad thing. On the positive side, it teaches a student to be independent, however, on the negative

side, it might lead the students in not developing socialization skills.

In terms of effectiveness of online learning, according to the study conducted by

Li and Lalani (2020), students who have the right technological materials may learn effectively

in different aspects. However, this depends on a students’ age bracket. Children who are still

very young, need structured learning environments in order to cope up with their education.

These students are still under the developmental stage and being in a structured learning

environment is a requirement for them.

Factor Affecting Academic Performance

As stated before, this research aims to determine how the shift from traditional to

online education affected students’ academic performance, through the use of the model of

educational productivity made by A. J. Reynolds and H. J. Walberg. As cited by Kuterbach

(2013), this model explains how academic performance of a student is affected by socio-

psychological factors coming from both inside and outside the classroom. Other than that, there

are many other studies and literature which enumerated different sets of factors affecting

academic performance, in both face-to-face and online classes. The following are some of it.

In a study conducted by Ejubović and Puška (2019), it stated that academic

performance in an online environment is highly dependent on a student’s self-regulation. Self-

regulation was defined as the ability of a person to autonomously regulate or control oneself in

order to properly achieve one’s objective or goal. In the study, the impact self-regulation on

academic performance was analyzed by a number of constructs. In the results it showed that 4

of these constructs used affect academic performance: environment structuring, which is the

effort of a person in finding and using the right environment to learn; computer self-efficacy,

which refers to one’s subjective view of one’s abilities; social dimension, which refers to how

one socially interacts with others in the educational environment; and metacognition, which

refers to the person’s awareness of one’s abilities and how he or she uses it to achieve his or her

objective. A student with a high aptitude of these 4 would most likely have better academic

performance than others with less aptitude.


University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
In agreement with the prior claim, Yokoyama (2019) cited that academic self-

efficacy, which is similar to self-regulation, highly affects academic performance especially if

education is done in an online platform. A student with high academic self-efficacy, is likely to

have high academic performance. Along with academic self-efficacy, Yokoyama also added that

effort regulation and grade goals are also factors which highly affect academic performance.

According to Smith and Yeboah (2016), in their study which is limited to

minority students in the United States of America, academic performance in an online

environment is affected positively and negatively by a number of factors. These factors are

flexibility, self-regulating skill, time convenience, differences in languages used, amount of

support, and self-confidence. Flexibility, self-confidence, and time convenience are factors

which were found to be high; and were identified to have positive influences on academic

performance. On the other hand, lack of support and self-regulating skills have a negative

influence on academic performance.

In a study of Dev (2016), it was found that academic performance is also

influenced by the 3 factors. These factors are level of intelligence, state of home environment,

and interest in studying. High or positive levels or status of these factors most likely result in a

high level of academic performance.

Irfan Mushtaq & Shabana Nawaz Khan (2012), in their study conducted on a

face-to-face type of educational setting, stated that academic performance is affected by 4 main

factors: proper guidance, communication, family stress, and learning facilities. According to

them, all of these factors except for family stress influences academic performance positively.
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
Family stress, on the other hand, impacts academic performance negatively. Communication

was identified to be the factor which greatly influences academic performance.

In most of the studies found, cognitive factors are always mainly considered as

the factors affecting academic performance. In a study conducted by Postlewaite et al. (2019),

the factors only analyzed were noncognitive factors. These factors are social skills, academic

behaviors, learning strategies, and academic perseverance.

Face-to-Face vs. Online

In a study by Pogue and Van de Vord (2012), the difference between traditional

and online classes was identified in terms of time invested for teaching. It was found that more

time is invested by teachers in online classes due to a higher difficulty in evaluating students and

their works. It was shown that difficulty was more of an issue than time consumption. Yet, it

also stated that time spent teaching in traditional classes varied more than in online classes. The

study also found that there was more time spent by students for interaction in traditional classes

than in online classes.

Akers et al. (2013) stated that academic performance in online classes differs

from that in traditional classes. In traditional classes, grades tend to be more consolidated to

levels of average and above average. Grades in online classes tend to have a significant number

of both excellent and failing grades. Also, traditional classes tend to be more desirable for taking

introductory math subjects or courses. Lastly, they stated that more students tend to finish

subjects or courses in traditional classes.


University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
Acosta et al. (2017) conducted a research comparing face-to-face and online

classes among post-graduate students. In their study, a number of information was found. First,

it was found that online students tend to be older than face-to-face students. Second, it was

found that face-to-face students are more satisfied with the methodologies than online students.

Third, students in both modes of education stated that they both did acquire new knowledge.

And lastly, it was found that students in online classes have a higher average in scores than those

in traditional classes. Yet, it was told that it might be because of the age difference since online

students were found to be older than face-to-face students.

In a research conducted by Anderson et al. (2018), face-to-face and online classes

were differentiated in terms of outcomes. In the study, it was found that students in the face-to-

face classes have more higher outcomes produced than those in online classes.

According to Kemp and Grieve (2014), performing exams in either face-to-face

or online does not differ significantly. A change in medium used does not readily result in a

drastic change of test scores. And the same goes for the student’s preferred mode of education.

Not preferring online classes does not result in a low online test score. But, it is determined that

students prefer face-to-face more, rather than face-to-screen due to the more engagement present

in actual classes.

Synthesis of the Reviewed Studies and Literature

According to Onyema et al. (2020), the world was greatly affected by the COVID-19

outbreak. As a result, many changes had happened. According to Burgess & Sievertsen (2020)

and Toquero (2020), schools and works were one of the things that were greatly affected by the
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
occurring pandemic. This may also bring students to the loss of will of the students to study,

according to Voa news (2020). In the Philippines, the educational sector is not the only thing

that is affected. The country’s economy has decreased, specifically in these times of crisis. The

educational sectors in the times of the pandemic were greatly affected negatively according to

the UNESCO (2020) and had led to the closing of schools in order to contain the spread of the

virus (The World Bank, 2020).

Erika et al. (2020), Alsayed et al. (2020), and Amadora (2020) stated that some of the

problems that may occur during online classes are the following: murky instructions or

teachings, unequal access to gadgets, internet connectivity, audio clarity, outdated device and

software, system glitch, and short attention span. The students aren’t the only ones who

experience difficulties (Kanematsu & Barry, 2020). Teachers and instructors also experience

such things. According to Vishakha and Jagpreet (2017), the unfamiliarity of the instructors in

using video conferencing applications may also affect the students’ learning. This was expressed

by the study made by Soland et al. (2020), wherein students are being left behind in certain

subjects and skills.

One of the most affected sectors now during the pandemic is the educational sector.

According to Balram (2020), schools all over the world have decided to close its doors in order

to prevent the further spread of the COVID-19 virus. However, it has greatly affected the

students and also the teachers. The academic performance (García and Weiss, 2020), and social

environment and skills like boundary setting, empathy and cooperation are one of the things that

may be affected during online learning. This may also develop independence of a student

(Naveen, 2020). However, according to the study conducted by Li and Lalani (2020), online

learning may be effective when a student has the proper technological gadget needed to conduct
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
the online learning. But not all the time. Students who are still in the developmental stage need

structured learning environments in order to cope up with their studies.

In determining how a student’s performance came to be, factors affecting

academic performance were collected to be analyzed. As cited by Kuterbach (2013), academic

performance, as explained by the model of educational productivity, is affected by socio-

psychological factors coming from both inside and outside the classroom. According to

Ejubović and Puška (2019), academic performance in an online environment is highly

influenced by self-regulation which is the ability of a student to control oneself in order to

achieve one’s objective. In agreement to this, Yokoyama (2019) cited that academic

performance is influenced by academic self-efficacy, which is similar to self-regulation, along

with effort regulation and grade goals. In a study of Smith and Yeboah (2016), it stated that

academic performance in an online classroom is mainly affected positively and negatively by 6

factors which are flexibility, self-regulating skill, time convenience, differences in languages

used, amount of support, and self-confidence. Dev (2016) found that academic performance is

also influenced by the 3 factors: level of intelligence, state of home environment, and interest in

studying. Meanwhile, Irfan Mushtaq & Shabana Nawaz Khan (2012) stated that the factors

mainly affecting academic performance are proper guidance, communication, family stress, and

learning facilities; in which communication is the strongest factor. Lastly, Postlewaite et al.

(2019) found that noncognitive factors such as social skills, academic behaviors, learning

strategies, and academic perseverance also influence academic performance.

There have been many studies and literature comparing online and traditional

classes. Pogue and Van de Vord (2012) differentiated face-to-face and online classes in terms of
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
time invested, and found that traditional classes are better since more time is needed in online

classes. This was supported by a study of Akers et al. (2013) which found that less students

finish their courses with online classes. Furthermore, a study of Anderson et al. (2018) found

that online students have less average outcomes compared to students in traditional classes. In a

study of Acosta et al. (2017), they found that online students have higher levels of academic

performance, which seems to be contradicting the prior findings, yet explained that it may be

because of the age gap between the respondents of their study.

In contrast to all of these, the research of Kemp and Grieve (2014) stated that a

change in medium for learning and the preference of a student on a medium of learning does not

necessarily affect the academic performance of a student.

Gaps to be Bridged by the Present Study

From the review of the related literature and studies previously presented in this

chapter, it is found that academic performance in an online environment has been a subject of

many researches for decades, most of which concentrated on online classes conducted for

college or post graduate students. Yet, there is a dearth of studies and literature examining online

students’ academic performance having senior high school students as respondents. In addition

to this, there have been almost no studies and literature examining online students’ academic

performance during a pandemic. To address this existing gap, the researchers will employ a

quantitative method in measuring the impact of online learning on senior high school student’s

academic performance amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

RESEARCH METHODOLOGY

Research Design

This study will employ a quantitative, non-experimental correlational research design

which is intended to assess and test the relationships between and among two or more variables
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
which could enable researchers to predict future events based on present knowledge (Strangor

2011).

Sources of Data

The primary source of data will be the respondents who will answer the survey

questionnaire. Secondary sources include books, online journals, periodicals, and other

references that the researcher consulted and cited in the review of related literature.

Instrumentation and Validation

The present study utilized survey techniques containing closed questionnaire where the

respondents selectively chose their answer. The questionnaires used in measuring the

independent and dependent variable included the factors and measurements of their academic

performance which are both self-constructed survey questionnaires by the researchers who

conducted this study for the purpose of collecting the needed data to correlate with the findings

of the independent variable. The instrument was developed by the researchers which answers the

stated research question. It focused on the description of the respondents’ online learning. Since

the questionnaire is self-constructed, the researchers sought for the approval of their research

adviser where they obtained recommendations necessary for ensuring its content validity.

Population of the Study

The respondents of this study consisted of 284 students out of 1078 Grade 11 students in

different strands in University of Perpetual Help System Laguna enrolled during the Academic

Year 2020-2021. The sample size was computed using the Raosoft sample size calculator. Upon

selecting the respondents, the researchers used cluster random sampling technique. The
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
respondents were clustered based on the respondents’ strands.

There are 160 respondents in the STEM strand, 47 from the ABM strand, 35 from the

HUMSS strand, 7 from the Pre-Baccalaureate Maritime Specialization, 10 from the Arts and

Design track, 13 from Home Economics strand, and 12 from the Information Communication

Technology strand.

The respondents from each section were selected using the table of random numbers in

which the number of students 1-40 (the average number of students per section), was selected

randomly and then the name that corresponded to the number was identified using the class list.

Evaluation and Scoring

To measure the impact of teaching online on a students’ academic performance, the

following numerical rating, categorical response, verbal interpretation, and verbal description

will be used in describing the individual aptitude of the respondents, the kind of instruction the

respondents have, and the environments where the respondents are.

Numerical Categorical Verbal Verbal Description


Rating Response Interpretation
4 Strongly Agree Very High I experience the indicator 76-100% of
(SA) the time.
3 Agree (A) High I experience the indicator 51-75% of
the time.
2 Disagree (D) Low I experience the indicator 26-50% of
the time.
1 Strongly Disagree Very Low I experience the indicator 1-25% of the
(SD) time.

Data Gathering Procedure


University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
After the validation for the tools for the data collection, permission to gather necessary

data was sought by the researchers from the Office of the Senior High School Director of the

University of Perpetual Help System Laguna. Subsequently, the researchers also explained the

purpose of the study and asked consents from the respondents. Communication was made

through e-mails and for the gathering of data, instructions from the survey were discussed

clearly and the procedure of filling the scale were clarified. The researchers then collected the

answered questionnaires and the data gathered was analyzed and interpreted using the statistical

treatments.

Treatment and Analysis of Data

The statistical tools that were used for the quantitative analysis in this study are the
following:

1. Weighted Mean and ranking will be used to determine and measure the respondents’

answer towards the impact of online learning, in terms of Ability, Development,

Motivation, Quantity of Instruction, Quality of Instruction, Home Environment, and

Class Environment, to students’ academic performance.

2. General Weighted Average before and during online learning will be used to answer

towards the impact of online learning to students’ academic performance.

3. The Kruskal-Wallis test was used to determine if there is a significant difference between

teaching online and a student's academic performance.

Ethical Considerations
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
The researcher will complete this study bearing in mind ethical considerations especially on

asking permissions to its respondents and school administrators. Firstly, permission was

requested from the office of the Senior High School Director of University of Perpetual Help

System Laguna down to its Research Review Board to inspect and to evaluate possible effects of

the study to the respondents. Communication was made with respondents through the help of the

University of Perpetual Help System Laguna, where both the researchers and the respondents are

studying. Consent forms were given to all the respondents informing him or her right to

withdraw from the study at any time. An absolute confidentiality was assured.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION

This chapter presents the quantitative data gathered with the

corresponding interpretation and analysis.

1. How can the respondents’ online learning be described in terms of:

1.1 Ability;

taken face-to-face.

Average 2.64 Low

Table 1 shows the respondents’ online learning in terms of ability. Indicator 3 gained the

highest weighted mean which expresses that the respondents’ skill in using the internet less

affects the online learning of the respondents. Indicator 1 and 2 both have a weighted mean of

2.74 which means that the respondents ability to study well and regulate time for studying is

low. The weighted mean ranging from 2.05 to 2.70, indicator 4 and 5 also signifies that

understanding lectures and lessons and answering quizzes and examinations in an online

environment in terms of ability in online learning is low.

The average mean of 2.64 shows that the respondents’ ability when it comes to online

learning is low.

The results shown above agree with the study of Ejubović and Puška (2019). It stated

that academic performance in an online environment is highly dependent on a student’s self-

regulation or ability.

5. I am more motivated to learn in 1.99 Very Low 5


online class than in face-to-face
class.

Average 2.49 Low

Table 2 shows the Respondents' Online Learning in terms of Motivation. The number 1

indicator which states that "I like and enjoy studying." had a 2.80 of weighted mean, low in

verbal interpretation, and first in ranking. The number 2 indicator which states that "I am very

competent when it comes to studying", has a 2.77 weighted mean, low in verbal interpretation,

and is ranked second. The number 3 indicator which states that "I also like and enjoy studying in

an online setting", had a 2.48 weighted mean, verbal interpretation which is low, and ranked

third. The number 4 indicator which states that "I get ready and be as competent for online class

like I do for face-to-face", had a 2.43 of weighted mean, low in verbal interpretation, and fourth

in ranking. The 5 indicator which states that "I am more motivated to learn in online class than
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
in face-to-face class." had 1.99 of weighted mean, low in verbal interpretation, and fifth in

ranking.

To sum it up, an average of 2.49 reveals that the respondents’ motivation in online

learning is low.

This corroborates the statement of Voa News (2020) saying that prolonged idleness of

the youth without any engagement in any academic program due to the global pandemic can

cause negative effects on one’s academic interest and performance.

Average 1.95 Low

Table 3 shows the Respondents' Online learning in terms of Quantity of Instructions. It's

stated in the number one indicator that "I spend a total of two hours a day studying, excluding

the time I spend in synchronous classes" got 2.13 of weighted mean, low verbal interpretation

and first in ranking. In the second indicator, which says that "I spend a total of three hours a day

studying, excluding the time I spend in synchronous classes" has a weighted mean of 2.01 and a

low verbal interpretation which is second in rank . The number three indicator stated that " I

spend a total of four hours a day studying excluding the time I spend in synchronous classes"

and had a 1.94 weighted mean, which is verbally interpreted as low that ranks it third place. In

number four indicator says that "I spend a total of five hours a day studying excluding the time I

spend in synchronous classes"and got a total weighted mean of 1.88, which is a low verbal

interpretation and considered fourth in the ranking. The last indicator which is the number five

stated " I spend a total of six hours a day studying excluding the time I spend in synchronous

classes" and it had a 1.83 weighted mean and ranked fifth with a verbal interpretation of low.

To sum it all, with a total average of 1.95, it shows that the respondents have a low

quantity of time for studying, excluding the time spent in online classes.
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA

The result here can be described by the statement of Pogue and Van de Vord (2012),

which stated that time spent teaching in traditional classes varied more than in online classes.

Table 4 shows the respondents’ Online learning in terms of Quality of instruction. The

number 1 indicator which states that “I understand lessons taught through the internet as it was

taught in a face-to-face setting.” has a 2.50 of weighted mean, low in verbal interpretation and

ranking of first. The number 2 indicator which states that “I understand lessons more when

taught through the internet than when it is taught in a face-to-face setting.” has a 2.15 weighted

mean, verbal interpretation is low and ranked second. The number 3 indicator which states that
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA

“I learn much information online as when I learn face-to-face.” has a 2.49 weighted mean,

Verbal interpretation is low and ranked third. The number 4 indicator which states “I learn much

more information online than when I learn face-to-face.” has a 2.26 weighted mean, Verbal

interpretation is low and ranked fourth. The number 5 indicator which states “I think my

teachers teach better in an online setting.” has a 2.14 weighted mean, verbal interpretation is low

and ranked fifth.

To sum it up, an average of 2.31 revealed that the quality of instruction of the

respondents’ online learning is low, to a certain extent.

The result here can be described by the statement of Pogue and Van de Vord (2012),

which says that more time is invested by teachers in online classes due to a higher difficulty in

evaluating students and their works. Because of this difficulty in teaching is higher in online

classes than in the normal set-up. This was why they concluded that difficulty was more of an

issue than time consumption.

Average 2.66 Low

Table 5 shows the respondents’ online learning in terms of home environment. The

number 4 indicator which states that "I do not experience any distractions at the place where I

take my online classes." had a 2.94 weighted mean, verbal interpretation is low, and ranked first.

The number 5 indicator which states that "I feel comfortable studying at the current place where

I take my online classes.", had a 2.66 weighted mean, verbal interpretation is low, and ranked

second. The number 1 indicator which states that "I can have online classes at home.", had a

2.63 weighted mean, verbal interpretation is low, and ranked third. The number 2 indicator

which states that "I have the necessary gadgets to properly take my online classes.", had a 2.55

weighted mean, verbal interpretation is low, and ranked fourth. The 3 indicator which states that

"I go to someone else’s home or outside my home to have online classes." had 2.53 weighted

mean, verbal interpretation is low, and ranked is fifth.

The average mean of 2.66 shows that most of the students’ home environment has a low

aptness for online learning.

This result can be explained by a study of Dev (2016) which found that academic

performance is also influenced by the 3 factors. These factors are level of intelligence, state of

home environment, and interest in studying. It was found that high or positive levels or status of

these factors most likely result in a high level of academic performance.

Table 6 shows the Respondent’s Online learning in terms of Classroom Environment.

The number one indicator states that “I can very well communicate with my classmates online.”,

which got a 3.22 weighted mean, high in verbal interpretation, and also ranked second. The

number two indicator states that “I can very well communicate with my teachers online.”, which

got a 3.25 weighted mean average, high in verbal interpretation, and ranked first. The number

three indicator states that “I can very well learn and study within the virtual environment of my

online classes.”, which got 1.75 weighted mean, very low in verbal interpretation, and also

ranked fourth. The number four indicator states that “The people in my online class are

academically engaged or competitive.”, which got 2.02 weighted mean, low in verbal

interpretation, and also ranked third.

To sum it up, the total average of 2.64 shows that the students’ online class

environment has a low aptness for online learning.


University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
This result can be explained by a study conducted by Pogue and Van de Vord (2012),

which found that there was more time spent by students for interaction in traditional classes than

in online classes. Because of this, students are less socially engaged in the virtual class than

usually. The result also further corroborates the claim of Naveen (2020), saying that interaction

with peers will help a child develop a stable social environment and develop skills like boundary

setting, empathy and cooperation. The shift to virtual learning would bring drastic changes to an

individual’s development and growth.

Table 7 expresses the summary of the respondents online learning. Out of the six

variables in determining the online learning of the respondents, home environment has the

highest weighted mean with 2.66. This expresses that the home environment shows low online

learning of the respondents. Next in rank is ability and class environment with a weighted mean

of 2.64. This states that the ability and class environment has also shown low on the online

learning of the students. The rest of the variables ranging from 2.45 to 1.90 also expresses the

same result which states that the motivation, quality of instruction, and quality of quantity of

instruction is low in the online learning of the respondents.

As shown in the study, the average mean of 2.64 shows that the respondents online

learning is low in all of the six variables.

The results shown above can be explained by the statement of Voa News (2020) saying

that prolonged idleness of the youth without any engagement in any academic program due to

the global pandemic can cause negative effects on one’s academic interest and performance.

This result also confirms the assumption of Vishakha & Jagpreet (2017) which said that the shift

to online education may affect the student’s learning and academic performance.

2. What is the academic performance of the respondents?

frequency and has a 4% in percentage and ranked 4th. The number two indicator which refers to

a GWA of 80-84.99 has 73 frequency and has a 26% in percentage and also ranked 2nd. The

number three indicator which refers to a GWA of 85-94.99 has 180 frequency and has 63% in

percentage and ranked first. The number four indicator which refers to a GWA of 95-100 has 21

frequency and with a 7% in percentage and also ranked third.

To sum it up, the data shows that most of the students have GWAs ranging from 85

to 94.99.

The result can be explained with the study of Smith and Yeboah (2016),cited that

the academic performance in an online environment is affected positively and negatively by a

number of factors.

3. How significant is the relationship between the respondents' online teaching and their

academic performance?

Table 9 shows the relationship between the students’ online learning and their academic

performance. With an R-value of 0.533 revealed that there is a moderate correlation indicating a

relationship between the students’ online class and their academic performance thus the null

hypothesis is rejected.

In summary, online learning does have an effect on students’ academic performance, to

an extent, negatively.

The result agrees to the claim of Alsayed et al. (2020) which says that online learning

still cannot fully replace the important interaction between the learner and the educator during

the traditional face-to-face classes. It also nearly affirms to García and Weiss’ (2020) statement

that shifting to online classes may greatly affect the students’ academic performance

Chapter 5
SUMMARY FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND FUTURE DIRECTION

This chapter presents the summary of findings based on the data gathered from

the study, the conclusions drawn, and the future direction offered by the researchers.

This study employed a quantitative, non-experimental correlational research

design to determine  the relationship of teaching online to the students’ academic performance.

It is aimed to answer the following questions:

1. How can the respondents’ online learning be described in terms of:

1.1 ability;

1.2 motivation;

1.3 quantity of instruction;

1.4 quality of instruction;

1.5 home environment; and

1.6 classroom environment?

2. What is the academic performance of the respondents?

3. How significant is the relationship between the respondents' online teaching and

their academic performance?

Summary of Findings

The following are the summary of findings based on the data gathered:

1. As to the respondents’ online learning


University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department

The respondents’ online learning is described in terms of ability with a weighted

mean of 2.64, motivation with a mean of 2.49, quantity of instruction with a mean of

1.95, quality of instruction of 2.30, home environment with a mean of 2.66, and class

environment with a mean of 2.64. The overall weighted average mean is 2.64 which

indicates online learning to have an effect on students’ academic performance, to a

certain extent, negatively.

2. As to the academic performance of the respondents

In terms of General Weighted Average (GWA), 10 or 4% of the respondents

answered 95-100% and below; 73 or 26% of the respondents answered 85%-94.99%;

180 or 63% of the respondents answered 80-84.99%; and 21 or 7% of the respondent

answered 79.99% or below.

3. As to the significant relationship of the respondents’ online learning and academic


performance

An R-value of 0.533 revealed that there is a moderate correlation indicating a

relationship between the students’ online class and their academic performance thus the

null hypothesis is rejected.

Conclusions

Based on the findings of the study, the following conclusions were drawn:

1. The respondents’ online learning is in all of the six variables which is ability, motivation,

quantity of instruction, quality of instruction, home environment, and class environment

is low.
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
2. The respondents’ ability in using the internet is a bit below the average.

3. Students are less motivated to study in an online environment.

4. Less time is available for self-study in an online environment during the pandemic.

5. Most of the students allot about 2 hours for self-studying after their synchronous online

classes.

6. The quality of instruction in online classes is low compared to face-to-face classes.

7. Most of the students’ home environments are barely fitted for online learning.

8. Though the respondents can satisfactorily socialize with both their teachers and

classmates, their engagement or competitiveness for learning is very low.

9. A bit above half of the students have GWAs ranging from 85 to 94.99 in their study

online.

10. Online learning does have an effect on students’ academic performance, to an extent,

negatively.

Future Directions

The following are future directions offered by the researchers:

1. Students are encouraged to study hard amid the ongoing pandemic in order to attain

knowledge whilst being at home.

2. Parents should encourage the students to do their best in studying amid being in the

comfort of their own homes.

3. Parents should help and guide the students in adjusting to a new learning environment in

this pandemic.
University of Perpetual Help System Laguna - JONELTA
Senior High School Department
4. Parents are encouraged to provide an appropriate and effective learning environment for

the students at home.

5. Teachers are advised to be more lenient when it comes to providing deadlines of

activities because not all of the students have the same privileges.

6. Teachers are encouraged to be active in teaching even though they are teaching in their

homes in order to gain the students attention.

7. Teachers are encouraged to try other teaching methods to know which is more effective.

8. The Government is encouraged to find more alternative ways of learning which will be

effective other than online learning.

9. The Government should be more understanding of the dilemma of the students and the

parents who do not have the capacity to cope up with online learning.

10. The Government is encouraged to put more effort in providing the students quality

education while being in a pandemic.

11. The Government should be understanding of the problems of the students who find it

hard in learning online.

12. Future researchers are encouraged to continue and expand this study by testing other

variables than those that are mentioned in this study.
