 ABSTRACT

This study was conducted to know the capabilities of Bachelor of Science in

Criminology students of Palawan state university main campus on online learning. The

respondents of this study were the selected Criminology students of Palawan state

university main campus. To gather the needed data, a survey questionnaire was used.

The respondents were composed of one hundred twelve (112) Criminology students.

Twenty eight (28) students per year level.

Based on the gathered data, the researchers conclude that most of the

respondents learned best from visual style/technique, which implies they prefer the use

of images, maps, and graphic organizers to access and understand new information.

Majority of the respondents were mobile/smart phone users and mobile data

subscribers. Also, Google Classroom was the most frequently accessed web application

by the respondents among other online platforms such as Gmail, Google Meet,

Facebook Messenger, and Zoom. Online learning (synchronous) delivery mode is more

often experienced by the respondents.

Based on the findings, the researchers suggested that the university can offer

more scholarship or other programs which could extend aid to the students where

students will be able to obtain gadgets and internet connectivity to make online learning

more accessible and effective. Future researchers can conduct a similar study, wherein

the significant relationship between the mode of delivery and perception on the

effectiveness of online learning or alternative delivery modes can be determined to gain

more in-depth results from the study, where the general weighted average of a specific

semester can also be used.
