Chapter 1

I. Rationale of the Study

As we all know of our situation today, we are in grieve danger of one of the
deadliest virus present in the 21st century, which is the Corona-virus. This is not only present
to our country nor in one continent, but throughout the whole world. Due to this fact, a
pandemic or lockdown is implemented in numerous countries and territories all around the
world. This in hopes to prevent the people from getting infected easily outside their homes.
Since the pandemic and safety operations are still applied, having face to face interactions
are off limits for the safety. This is applied not just in workplaces and establishments, but
also in schools. In solution, the DepEd has selected online classes to be the key for students
to continue their education while in quarantine.

With the help of online classes, education can possibly be easier for some or most
students of any grade levels. However, providing online classes has its ups and downs based
the students’ experiences. But this does not mean it does not have benefits to some.

The students who can be advantageous to online classes are the introverts or
people who use the internet a lot. We all are aware, based on observations and studies,
introverted people are the type not to be too social nor interactive. They try to avoid conflict
at all costs. They are unlikely to be vocal of their thoughts. Although it is not necessary that
they are disinterested in everything, they can still be friends and be in acquaintance with
other people, they just enjoy being with their selves more.

According to Karen Costa, she has observed that virtual learning can be of great help
to introverted student. Despite the aspect that introverts have a difficulty in expressing more
especially in interacting personally, online classes had lead them to become eager and
empowered to learn more. Because they can easily adapt to the online environment. In this
perspective, online learning can help the introverted students become more confident in
their studies.

The study we are to provide with you will focus on what are the advantages of
online classes to introverts and how is it really effective or how can it actually benefit for
them. As well as, the possible learning strategies that may help the introverts earn their
confidence in the midst of online learning.

II. Statement of the Problem

The study focuses on the advantages of online classes to introverts. Thus, the research aims
to answer the following questions:
1. How are introverts advantageous in terms of oral recitation in online class?
2. What makes the online class advantageous to introverts?
3. Can online class affect the performance of introverts in terms of learning?
4. Can online class affect the performance of introverts in terms of participation?
5. Can online class boost the confidence of introverts?
6. How do introverts cope with online class?

III. Scope and Delimitation of the Study

The research was focused on the advantages of online classes for introverts. Online
classes are courses that are organized on the internet which is an optional method of
attending classes but is now the current official method for all schools because of the current
state of the pandemic. The research will be held under a specific group of individuals
enrolled in online classes.
 The research was limited to the people that enrolled and are attending online
classes. The researchers were restricted to taking information from people in the internet
and could not conduct the research in person.

IV. Significance of the Study

The findings of this study will redound to the benefit for the students learning
online who happens to be introverts. The comfort from a stress-free environment for them
will justify as to why online education/classes is not that stressful at all. An advantage for
them to perform well in their academics and being able to do activities without them
stepping out of their comfort zone. Thus, teachers and students that understood the
significance of their fellow learner and apply the recommended approach derived from the
results of this study will be able to understand these learners better. Schools will be guided
on what should be their actions to help these introvert students to develop and to practice
themselves to interact and socialize with others step-by-step. For the researcher, the study
will help them uncover unknown and critical areas and facts about the introvert students
that many researches failed to explore. Thus, a new theory on the advantages of introverts
on online classes may be unlocked.
