 CHAPTER 1

THE PROBLEM

INTRODUCTION

Distance Learning (DL) has become a recognized method for delivering

educational content in institutions of higher education. According to Allen and Seaman

(2007), improving students’ access to higher education has been cited as a major

reason for offering DL courses and programs. Distance Learning involves a student-

centred approach in which the instructor takes the role of the facilitator and students

engage in peer learning (Maor, 2003; Mitchell et al, 2005). 

The literature on education cites several examples of research that has been

conducted on DL (Chambers, 2006; Hagel and Shaw, 2006; Liao, 2006; Muilenburg and

Berge, 2005).There is emphasis in the literature on the importance of research for

improving students’ DL experiences (Levin and Wadmany, 2006; White, 2005).

According to Sahin and Shelley (2008) students’ needs and perceptions should be

central in the design, development and delivering distance education courses. Overall,

the literature suggests that there is a need to understand better the variables that affect

student enjoyment of distance learning courses. This may lead to a greater

understanding of the benefits and limitations of learning by distance and could be useful

to programs considering the implementation of DL initiatives and/ or students planning to

enrol in Gingoog City Colleges. Distance learning was positive. Respondents indicated

that they are satisfied with teaching and learning by distance and also satisfied with

learner support provided by the host institute. There remain concerns, however,
regarding the provision of prompt feedback on assignments by facilitators, lack of

enough study facilities to help students with their program and difficulty they

experienced with learning materials that were not self-explanatory. Addressing these

concerns will improve students’ distance learning experiences and enhance students

learning by distance.

As we approach the year 2020, the student population has continued to change

to married, employed, and none-residential students. Due to technologies, knowledge

delivery modules have also changed to include on-line (education access through the

internet) and distance education (interactive learning). Often these new educational

technologies are implemented without fully understanding their impact. The traditional

delivery system for higher education has been a classroom setting with a professor

giving a lecture and students listening and writing notes. Interaction between the

professor and student has been viewed as an essential learning element within this

arrangement. However, innovation in educational delivery mechanisms have challenged

this paradigm. Advances in information technology (IT) are enabling little use of

educational delivery methods such as distance learning (DL) to gain new life. In addition,

the advances in IT have ushered in a new paradigm. On-line learning (OL).

The result is that many institutions of higher learning have adopted distance and

on-line education as the next logical step in educational delivery systems. These

systems are being promoted as the educational pedagogy of the future. As distance

learning becomes more prevalent, countries and institutions of higher education (IHE)

that do not provide distance learning courses will need to look at this option to retain and

expand their student population. (Keegan, 1994; Nakamura, 2017). 

 In order to develop such programs, it is useful to determine if students are

receptive to taking such online courses and are prepared to do so. This study was

carried out with a purpose to investigate student perceptions of the effectiveness of

distance and on-line learning. The results of this research provide some strategies to

encourage and support students to take distance learning courses. 

Theoretical Framework

This study is anchored on the theory of Keegan (1980) that presents key aspects

of distance learning. Some of the elements are: physical separation of teacher and

learner, learning occurs in the context of an educational institution, technical media are

used, teacher and learner communicate, face to face meetings are possible, and an

industrial model of providing education is used. More recently varying definitions of

Distance learning seem to be based on the perspective of various educators and to

reflect the educational culture of each country and IHE. However, some common

descriptors seem to be accepted by most stakeholders in the field. Distance learning is

an educational experience where instructors and learners are separated in time and

space (Keegan, 2002) which means it can happen away from an academic institution

and can lead to a degree or credential (Gunawardena, McIsaac, & Jonassen, 2008).

Based on Holmberg’s theory of interaction and communication. Holmberg (1983)

coined the theory of interaction and communication. The theory implies that “the

character of good distance education resembles that of a guided conversation aiming at

learning and that the presence of the typical traits of such a conversation facilitates

learning. The distance-study course and the non-contiguous communication typical of

distance education are seen as the instruments of a conversation-like interaction

between the student on the one hand and the tutor counsellor of the supporting

organization administering the study on the other. There is constant interaction

('conversation') between the supporting organization (authors, tutors, counsellors),

simulated through the students' interaction with the pre-produced courses and read

through the written and/or telephone interaction with their tutors and counsellors”

(Holmberg, 1983).

Statement of the problem

This study focused on the perception of students towards flexible learning in

Gingoog City Colleges. 

1.  As a student what is your perception towards distance learning?  

2. Which do you prefer, traditional mode of learning or distance learning? why? 

Significance of the study

The study will benefit the following:

Students. This study may provide students with information in order for them to

understand the essence of Distance Learning. 

Teacher.  This study will enable them to adapt this format to their particular context and

student's needs.

To future researchers. This can be a basis or as a supplementary reference for further

student engagement studies. 

Scope and Limitations of the study 

This study focused on the perception of students towards distance learning in

Gingoog City Colleges for second year college in the SY. 2020-2021.

The main respondents were the five college students from Gingoog City

Colleges. 

Moreover, the student's perception from Gingoog City Colleges were evaluated

through their experiences, observations, notions and their self-knowledge.

The researchers used a qualitative component.  Questionnaires were used to

answer the objectives of this research.  

Definition of terms

       The following terms were operationally defined to achieve a better understanding of

the study:

Students.  Someone who is studying at a private school that experiences a new mode

of learning.

Teacher. Someone who nurtures and helps to build the knowledge of the students. 

Distance Learning. A new mode of learning where students collaborate in their studies

through online classes.  

Traditional Learning. A face-to-face learning where students are able to meet up with

their teachers and classmates for class discussion and activities.  

 CHAPTER 2

Review of Related Literature

This chapter presents the various literature gathered and studies conducted

aimed at establishing the problems stated in this study. It highlights the profound body of

work and research done in the areas of perception of the students towards distance

learning in Gingoog City Colleges as this study seeks to know. 

 In the Philippines, a low-middle-income country in Southeast Asia, classes in all

levels were suspended in mid-March of 2020, after the government had put the

country’s largest island Luzon and other major cities under lockdown. Halfway into the

second semester, schools had to cease all face-to-face learning activities. Local and

international electives were cancelled. The national internship program was likewise

suspended, and the physician licensure exam postponed indefinitely. Since being

declared a global pandemic by WHO, there has been great concern in all circles and

levels of society. This has an impact on changing attitudes and behavior patterns in

society, including the enthusiasm for learning. Due to the widespread use of COVID-19,

the government regulated distance learning from elementary to university level. 

Distance learning is still new, and it is continuously evolving by the rapidly

changing technologies. More efforts are required by all online educators to integrate

pedagogy with technologies in order to enhance student learning. In Gingoog City

Colleges, online discourse as a communication activity could be very beneficial in the

current online learning environment to the students or learners, by providing a space for

information exchange and to generate deeper thinking, but only if educators understand

how it would work and how students learn in the online environment. Since education is

no longer held within the school, students play a vital role as facilitators with a
connection to the teacher. Their primary role in distance learning is to establish a

connection and guide the students; (FlipScience, 2020). Distance Learning refers to a

learning delivery modality, where learning takes place between the teacher and the

learners who are geographically remote from each other during instruction. This

modality has three types: Modular Distance Learning (MDL), Online Distance Learning

(ODL), and TV/Radio-Based Instruction. (Quinones, 2020)

According to Watts (2016) live streaming video and/or audio are used for

synchronous interaction. Although videoconferencing allows participants to see each

other this is not considered a face-to-face interaction because of the physical separation

(Keegan, 1980). Asynchronous instruction means that teachers and learners do not

have synchronous sessions and that students have access to course content through

the Internet at any time they want or need. Communication among the participants

occurs mainly through email and online forums and is typically moderated by the

instructor (Watts, 2016). Based on Garrison (2000) “Asynchronous collaborative learning

may well be the defining technology of the post-industrial era of distance education.” 

Yet another type of Distance learning is blended learning (BL). Garrison and Kanuka

(2004) define Blended learning as combining face-to-face classroom time with online

learning experiences. Although it is not clear as to how much time is allocated to online

in the blended model “the real test of blended learning is the effective integration of the

two main components (face-to-face and Internet technology) such that we are not just

adding on to the existing dominant approach or method.” In the BL format different

teaching strategies and instructional technology can be used to help individuals who

have different learning styles, needs and interests (Tseng & Walsh Jr., 2016).
 Isman (2002) examined that student role from the sense of constructivist

approach. These roles can be fit to the role of student in distance education as well.

Student Role in Distance Education based on Constructivist Approach; Student should

be interaction between teacher in order to get proper feedback on their self-directed

subjects and consult to teacher for correctness and evaluation. Students can be in

collaborative learning with their class members through the technological support,

Students are self-responsible on their learning. They should decide what they want to

learn and make individual study on their subject; Students should come to the solution

for problems with data through the research instead of implementing available data.

Therefore they should be researcher, Students should be problem solvers. They should

implement what they learn on problems and set solutions strategies with using

relevance information, Students should be well informed from the technology to not face

with communication barriers because of technology. In addition to this; they should use

technology to construct the learning with rich materials, Students should be learners

through the life. The students should know how to access and use the information

whatever the instruction was finished. They should reach the information immediately if it

is necessary.     

Based on Holmberg’s theory of interaction and communication. Holmberg 

(1983)  coined the theory of  interaction and communication. The theory implies that  

“the character of good distance education resembles that of a guided conversation

aiming at learning and that the presence of the typical traits of such a conversation

facilitates learning. The distance-study course and the non-contiguous communication

typical of distance education are seen as the instruments of a conversation-like

interaction between the student on the one hand and the tutor counsellor of the
supporting organization administering the study on the other. There is constant

interaction ('conversation') between the supporting organization (authors,  tutors, 

counsellors), simulated  through  the students'  interaction with  the  pre-produced

courses and read through the written and/or telephone interaction with their tutors and

counsellors” (Holmberg, 1983). Since students are considered as digital natives and

people nowadays live in a technology and media-driven environment, they are expected

to be familiar with skills related to information, media, and technology such as accessing

and evaluating information, using and managing information, analyzing media, creating

media products, and applying technology effectively (Partnership for 21st Century

Learning, 2009). The concept of 21st century education suggests teachers to develop

their instruction to ensure their students meet the requirement of 21st century skills. The

relevant knowledge is expected to establish students’ skills for competitive careers and

good life, skills for lifelong learning and creative innovation, and skills for literacy,

information, media, and technology. (Suherdi, 2012).

Therefore, teachers as a part of the educational support system should be able to

focus on emphasizing deep understanding and engage students with real world data

and tools. In terms of learning strategies, teachers should be able to integrate the use of

supportive technology, problem-based approaches, and higher order thinking skills.

They should create a classroom atmosphere that will support teaching and learning of

the 21st century. Teachers should integrate technologies with content and pedagogy.

21st century learning involves the engagement of students in collaborative work and

real-world problem solving through effective exploitation of information and

communication (ICT). According to Hwee, Koh, and Chai (2016).21st century learning is

characterized by students ability in developing social skills for collaboration, conflict

resolution, and multicultural communication, cognitive skills to engage in critical thinking

for innovation and complex problem solving, metacognitive skills to engage in self-

reflection and self-learning, productivity skills to organize work effectively and efficiently,

and technological skills to exploit ICT tools appropriately.       

       

CHAPTER 3
 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY 

        This chapter presents the methods and procedures to be used in conducting the study. It

includes the research design, research locale, and the respondents of the study, data gathering

procedure and research instrument.

Research Design

This study investigated the student perception on distance learning in Gingoog City

Colleges. This study utilized a qualitative design to obtain the opinions of the respondents. The

respondents of this study consisted of 5 students. 

Research Locale

This study will be conducted at Gingoog City Colleges (GCC), a school that abides by the

core values abbreviated as HALL (humility, accountability, integrity and loyalty). GCC is one of

the leading private schools in Gingoog City which is home to many talents and skills in both

extra-curricular and academics. The school has four departments; Elementary, Junior High

School, Senior High School and College Departments. The basic Education from primary to

Senior H.S offers all subjects and computer subjects. The college department is subdivided into

courses namely; BEED, BSed Major. In Filipino and English, BPE, BSCRIM, BSOA, BSBA and BSIT.

Respondents of the Study

 The respondents of this study were the five students of Gingoog City Colleges. But only

in the second year college students will be selected as the basis of this perception about

Distance learning.

Data Gathering Procedure

We, the researchers, prepared five questions that are connected to our main topic of

research. The researchers chose respondents that were qualified for this study who were the

students in Gingoog City Colleges Second year college students. 

The researcher asks permission first and explains clearly what they are going to do. After

giving the questions the respondents will answer five questions the respondents will answer five

questions that are related in online class. And the researchers will collect all the data and read

it. 

Research Instrument

The instrument that the researcher will use in this study is composed of 1 part. The style

of the questionnaire was essay type. It depends on the students how many sentences they

write, based on their own opinions. The questionnaire focuses on the main topic that is

connected in our situations nowadays. Asking them what are the reasons why students take

online learning, their perception towards distance learning, we also ask in our questions if they

prefer traditional mode or distance learning, how is it effective for distance learning and what

are the advantages of distance learning. We chose those respondents and tried their best on

their reactions to the given questions. 

CHAPTER 4
 Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of data

This chapter presents the data, analysis and interpretation of all the findings that
were covered to answer all the problems presented in chapter 1.

The data are presented, arranged and organized following the order of the problems
given in the chapter 1.

Q1. In your own opinion what is the reason why the student takes online learning
in this present situation?

R1 - It is because it's required to take online learning in order for us to not be left behind
and not wasting time.

R2 - Because of the pandemic brought by covid19.

R3- Because of the increasing rate of this covid19 virus.

R4 - Because of the pandemic that we are currently facing right now.

R5 - Because of the Covid-19 and this virus is very harmful to everyone that's why we
take online class to prevent the spread of the virus.

Among of this statement the most common answer that this respondent is the Covid-19
because it is the main reason why we take this distance learning due to a fact that it
secure Students safety in terms of health aspect.

Q2. As a student what is your perception towards distance learning?

R1 - Distance learning will somehow the reason why many students will be failed
because of the connection, no availability of loads and more.

R2 - For me, distance learning gives a lot disadvantages to us students. Where, not all
are capable and stable in life.

R3 - It is a new type of learning strategies that students will stay connected to school
even if the take classes at home.
R4 - Distance learning classes are very intimidating hence, we student could attend
classes online.
R5 - Distance learning for me is what we are currently doing and that is the online
learning.

Among of this statement there are two respondents who said that distance learning may
affect to those students who do not have an stable internet connection or who do not
have enough gadgets to use during their studies and there is possibilities that students
will be failed.

Q3. Which do you prefer, traditional mode of learning or distance learning? Why?

R1 - Traditional mode of learning because it provides a conducive environment to learn.

R2- I prefer traditional learning, because it’s more liable than distance learning.

R3 - I prefer traditional learning because you can listen actively during class discussion
without any disturbance on any social media.
R4 - I prefer traditional mode of learning because it is the best way and the most
advantage thing when it comes to learning process.

R5 - I would prefer traditional mode of learning because me as a student can

understand better if we take our classes in the school our classrooms.

All of the respondents prefer on traditional learning rather than the distance learning
because traditional learning is very effective for those students who are slow learners
and it is the best way when it comes to learning process.

Q4. In your own opinion how effective is Distance Learning?

R1 - For me, it's not just totally effective because as a student it's really hard for me to
learn, to acquire the lesson easier in this kind of learning process.

R2 - Distance learning is effective in a way that students are just in their houses to study
and be resourceful enough with their activities.

R3 - Distance learning is quite effective because students can able to work in their
convenient time and they may also participate in classes which it well give them an
opportunity.
R4 - For me distance learning is not that effective than traditional mode for learning.

R5 - Distance learning is effective in giving us flexible schedule and also in our health
because we can stay away and be safe from the virus.

Among this statement the most common answer of the respondents is that distance
learning is effective in this pandemic where Distance learning can give student an
opportunity to continue their studies despite on the increasing rate of the pandemic.

Q5. In your own opinion what are the advantages of the distance mode of
learning?

R1 - The advantages will be it gives us opportunity to learn and acquire skills.

R2 - The advantages of distance learning are in favor for those students who are
capable enough having gadgets and stable connections.

R3 – It well provide benefits for students to stay in touch in classroom settings away
from the deadly virus and also it will give them time to find opportunity or part time job
without a conflict of classes.

R4 - the Advantage of distance learning process is we can be lessen the school fund
and have an opportunity to learn and stay in touch in the classroom setting.

R5 – The advantages of the distance mode of learning is the flexible time, lower
expenses in transportation, our health it hinders us to not be sick from the virus, passing
of the assignments, activities and etc. is easier and allows you to be more independent.

As per respondent said that distance learning has an advantages such students has an
opportunity to stay in touch in the classroom setting and learn even when you're at home
or in work because you have the opportunity to find part time job and allows to be more
independent.
Interpretation

Q1. As a student what is your perception towards distance learning?

Distance learning is what we are currently doing in this pandemic; we take up

classes through virtual by using laptops, tablets, computer and mobile phones. Distance
learning gives a lot of disadvantages to us students. Where, not all are capable and
stable in life and the struggle brought by this system really trigger the interest level of the
students to continue pursuing their dreams.

As the study of Sahin and Shelley (2008) students’ needs and perceptions should
be central in the design, development and delivering distance education courses.
Overall, the literature suggests that there is a need to understand better the variables
that affect student enjoyment of distance learning courses.

Q2. Which do you prefer, traditional mode of learning or distance learning? why?

Out of the survey provided the common answer of the respondents is traditional
mode of learning for the reason that it is more liable than distance learning. More likely
students prefer on having a conducive where they felt the essence of being a students
and acquired lessons personally.

As a study of ( Keegan, 2002) he stated that Distance learning is an educational

experience where instructors and learners are separated in time and space which
means it can happen away from an academic institution and can lead to a complicated
situation for the students (Gunawardena, McIsaac, & Jonassen, 2008). Overall this will
show that distance learning provide a negative impact for some Students.

CHAPTER 5
 SUMMARY, CONCLUSION AND RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the summary, significant findings, conclusion and

recommendation based on the results presented in chapter 4.

Summary

The main goal of our research is to help the students understand what the purpose of

Distance Learning during this pandemic. Is it effective or not. We aim also that even this

pandemic student will be able to learn and focus in their study.

Summary Findings

Problem 1: As a student what is your perception towards distance learning?

Distance learning is what we are currently doing in this pandemic; we take up

classes through virtual by using laptops, tablets, computer and mobile phones. Distance

learning gives a lot of disadvantages to us students. Where, not all are capable and

stable in life and the struggle brought by this system really trigger the interest level of the

students to continue pursuing their dreams.

Problem 2: Which do you prefer, traditional mode of learning or distance

learning? Why?

Out of the survey provided the common answer of the respondents is traditional

mode of learning for the reason that it is more liable than distance learning. More likely

students prefer on having a conducive where they felt the essence of being a students

and acquired lessons personally.

Conclusion

Therefore we conclude that this study is very vital in the student’s life it’s because

they may learn what the differences of Traditional mode are or Distance learning. Even

in this pandemic all people may adjust what’s happening in the surrounding especially to

all students who tried their best and eager to learn. But based on our observation few

students who focused on their study it’s because we only used Distance learning. Some

of the students feel relaxed because they didn’t felt the essence of being a student the

essence of their teachers physically. But some also of the students eager to learn but

hard to participate in the class because of no connection, lack of materials.

It hurts to see children miss the dear opportunity to get education. As a future

teacher, we encourage learners worldwide to take heart and have hoped that we shall

overcome. Teachers all over the world have an obligation to educate. We pray to God

that, even as we continue to use science to combat this pandemic, He may continue to

guide us and protect us. Let the entire world stand strong and united against this

pandemic.”

Recommendation
 Based on the findings and conclusion the following recommendations are

proposed for the different stakeholders:

1. Since the students are experiencing this distance learning nowadays they must

learn how to cope up in order to embrace the new learning modality.

2. The teacher must be elastic for understanding every students situation and they

must give more interactive activities so that student can understand well.

3. The researcher for the next research must consider a problem that is best

manifested by the selected subject so that the result of the research is good.
