Problems Encounter by Technical Vocational Students in Blended Learning
CHAPTER I
The Problem and Its Background
Introduction
Blended Learning (BL) is a method of learning delivery that combines distance learning
approaches such as online distance learning, modular distance learning, and TV/Radio-based
instruction.
When students participate in online learning, they learn in a completely virtual environment.
With the creation of the internet in the 1990s, online learning (also known as e-learning) was first used
in distance learning. It enables students from all over the world to connect online with academic
institutions and other students while working toward a degree or certificate.
Theoretical Framework
It is impossible to include all Blended Learning models in this article. Wang, Han, and
Yang (2015) present a comprehensive analysis of all main blended learning theoretical
frameworks. The Complex Adaptive Blended Learning System and the Community of Inquiry
will be the focal points of this chapter. These two methods take a holistic approach to blended
learning design and execution. They apply to Blended Learning in any segment of education,
with appropriate adaptations made based on the needs and characteristics of the learners, whether
you are a teacher or instructor in K–12 schools, colleges and universities, the military, the
industrial workplace, or the corporate world.
According to Garrison (2016), Inquiry-based learning is considered as a crucial
possibility for gaining competency in higher-order thinking skills beyond subject acquisition.
Inquiry-based learning does not include passive, hobbyist learners. Beyond information
acquisition, inquiry-based learning is considered as a critical opportunity for developing higher-
order thinking skills.
According to Hornby, as referenced in Yoseph and Mekuwanint (2015) and Malik
(2012), a module is a virtually self-contained unit of work in a course of instruction and a
teaching approach centered on the development of skills and knowledge in discrete units.
As a result, a module is a course that, when combined with other related courses, can
become a specific area of specialty. Each unit or module is a measurable component of a longer
learning experience that leads to a certain qualification(s) "for which a specific number, and
typically sequence, of units or modules is required."
E-learning theory is based on cognitive science ideas that show how the use and design of
educational technology can help students learn more effectively (David, 2015; Wang 2012).
Sweller, Van Merrinboer, and Paas (2019) established the theory using a set of assumptions
based on Cognitive Load Theory.
Conceptual framework
This study will determine the problems encountered by Technical Vocational students in
Blended Learning.
INDEPENDENT
Definition of terms
Blended Learning –a style of education in which students learn via electronic and online
media as well as traditional face-to-face teaching.
Challenges-an objection to something as not being true, genuine, correct, or proper or to a
person (as a juror) as not being correct, qualified, or approved.
Problem-a matter or situation regarded as unwelcome or harmful and needing to be dealt with
and overcome.
Distance learning is particularly difficult for TVL because of its emphasis on practical
skills and work preparedness. Practical skills are frequently learned through hands-on
experience gained through work immersion or learning-by-doing in school-based workshops
and laboratories. When practical exercises demand the use of equipment or materials not
commonly found in the home, distance learning approaches are now considered as a poor
substitute. TVL specialties that rely significantly on learning-by-doing, on the other hand,
have the most difficulty adapting to remote learning.
Another issue is the TVL track's application of Work Immersion (WI). During the
COVID-19 crisis, this is badly impacted. During the pandemic and any future disruptions in
school, Work Immersion is expected to provide SHS TVL learners with opportunities to
become familiar with the workplace, mimic employment, and use their competence in
Computer Systems Servicing in the actual work environment. Work-based learning is
required for the TVL course, but optional for the other tracks.
This Community-Based Trainings and Work Immersion project may address the
difficulties with the current crisis, since it aligns with the K to 12 targets for Senior High
School graduates. Despite the ongoing crisis, all that was required was a commitment to the
profession, a little ingenuity, and innovativeness on the part of TVL teachers to make these
activities available for the benefit of our students.
The Problems of students that they Encounter by Blended Learning are: Students
struggled by technological issues, expenses of technology, Inadequate training, poor internet,
distractions, lack of focus, deceased motivation, weakened relationship between students and
teachers.
It is impossible to include all blended learning models in this article. Wang, Han, and
Yang (2015) present a comprehensive analysis of all main blended learning theoretical
frameworks. The Complex Adaptive Blended Learning System and the Community of Inquiry
will be the focal points of this chapter.
CHAPTER III
METHODOLOGY
This chapter presents methods and procedures that will be use, the respondents of the
study, the source of data, instruments used in the gathering of the date and the statistical
treatment of the data.
RESEARCH DESIGN
This study will make use of the descriptive-analytic research design which aims to
collect information regarding to the problems encountered by technological vocational
students. Descriptive-analytic research, according to Catherine Cote (2021) Descriptive
analytics is the process of using current and historical data to identify trends and relationships.
It’s sometimes called the simplest form of data analysis because it describes trends and
relationships but doesn’t dig deeper.
The study uses Simple Random Sampling which is a type of probability stratified
random sampling technique because only the Technical Vocational students from Data Center
College of the Philippines Grade 12 Senior High School will consider as the respondent of the
study. The study includes a total number of 50 respondents. In addition, target respondent is
both males and females.
N
Slovi n' s Formula=
1+ N e2
Where,
N is the total population
e is the margin of error
With the guidance of Practical Research and Technical Vocational teachers, the
researchers prepare a questionnaire to extend the knowledge about the topic and to find what
exactly struggling in blended learning. The researchers will construct a questionnaire form for
the 50 technical vocational students that will consist a checkbox list of which profile of the
respondent, what are the problems encounter by Technical Vocational student in online
learning and challenges and what are the problems encountered in modular learning. The
questionnaire will be retrieved and responses will subject to statistical analysis
DATA GATHERING PROCEDURE
A letter was written by the researchers and was submitted to the head of the school for
the approval of their request to conduct a survey. After approval from the head of the school
of the school, the researchers will begin to gather a date to the target respondent, and after
which it will be subject to interpretation through tables.
Is essential of data to make use of the data in the right form. Raw data collection is
only one aspect of any experiment. The organization of data is equally important so that
appropriate conclusion can be drawn. (Siddharta Kalla, 2009)
1. Frequency Count. Frequency count is used to count the number of times that each
variable occurs, such as the number of times that each variable occurs, such as the number of
males and females within the sample. Measure of central tendency give one number that
represents the entire of scores, such as the mean.
2. Percentage. Percentage is used to find the profile and rate of respondents in term of
age, gender, and length of service. X 100 FORMULA: WHERE: x = variable to be
determined n= sample size
3. Weighted Mean. The weight mean of the responses was used to describe the problem
encountered by technical vocational students of Data Center College of the Philippines Senior
High School. The following formula was used for weighted mean:
∑ cj
j
WM=
N
Where: J=frequency of the respondents
4. Scales of Measurement. These will be to describe and characterized the mean results of
Data Center College of the Philippines Senior High School Using Blended Learning. Point
of value, Liker-Scale Range, and Descriptive Interpretation.
This chapter presents, an analysis and interpretation of data obtained in the study. The
aforementioned data were then analyzed to be presented, discussed and interpreted according to
the parameters in order to address the issues sighted in the study. Furthermore, presentation of
data is done through tables.
Table 1. SEX
The data shown in the table 1 describes the sex of the respondents of Tech-Voc Students
in Blended Learning of the Grade 12 Student of Data Center College of The Philippines. With
correspondents to the findings, male show smaller number as to female with a percentage of 42%
and 58% respectively.
TABLE 2. STRAND
The result in table 2 describes the strand of the respondents of Tech-Voc Students
in Blended Learning of the Grade 12 Student of Data Center College of The Philippines. With
the correspondents to the findings, ICT has the least percentage of total respondents which is
29%, while the HRS got the highest percentage of 38% total respondents, Lastly, CGV has a
total respondents of 33%.
TABLE 3. GADGET
The data shown in the table 3 describes the gadget of the respondents of Tech-Voc
Students in Blended Learning of the Grade 12 Student of Data Center College Of The
Philippines. With the total correspondents to the findings, cellphone got the highest result as to
laptop with a percentage of 96% and 4% respectively.
The result in table 4 describes the internet connection of the respondents of Tech-Voc
Students in Blended Learning of the Grade 12 Student of Data Center College of The
Philippines. With the total correspondents to the findings, Wi-Fi shows the higher result as to
mobile data with a percentage of 61% and 39% total respondents.
TABLE 5. WHAT ARE THE PROBLEMS ENCOUNTERED IN MODULAR LEARNING
The date shown on the table 5 describes the accumulated result based on THE PROBLEMS
ENCOUNTERED IN MODULAR LEARNING of the Tech-Voc Students in Blended Learning of the Grade 12
Student in Data Center College of the Philippines. Based on the data most of the questionnaires resulted
agree on the level of agreement. Out of fifty (50) respondents in question number 7: Lack of Sleep got
the highest weighted mean of 4 marks “AGREE” as the level of agreement. Moreover, number 1: Lack of
Instant communication got a percentage of 3.52 with “AGREE” as the level of agreement. Question
number 2: Ineffective time management got the percentage mean of 3.52 with the level of agreement of
“AGREE” question number 3: Lack of basic computer or digital skill. Got the percentage of 3.44 with the
level of agreement of “AGREE”. Question number 4: Not receiving clear instructions got the percentage
of 3.58 with the level of agreement of “AGREE”. Question number 5: Can comprehend the lesson well
with the percentage of 3.68 and the level of agreement of “AGREE”. Question number 6: Topics were
discussed too fast with the percentage of 3.06 with the level of agreement of “NEUTRAL” Question
number 7: Lack of sleep with the percentage of 4 and the level of agreement “AGREE”. Question number
8: Poor Motivation has the percentage of 3.84 with the level of agreement of “AGREE”. Question
number 9: Lack of focus with the percentage of 3.96 and the level of agreement of “AGREE”. Question
number 10: Not enough time to answer the learning materials with the level of agreement of “AGREE”.
Question number 11: Find it hard to meet deadlines has the percentage of 3.54 and the level of
agreement of “AGREE’.
All over the result of gathered data average of weighted mean has a 3.66 mean percentage
with has “NEUTRAL”
On the other hand question number 6: Topics were discussed too fast is not merely a
problem because of the neutral result 3.6 which is still high. In addition to that, as supported of
Dr. Carl Rosenberg published on September 25, 2020 by the result of number 7: Lack of Sleep.
Most distance learners do not adhere to a strict timetable. The 'new normal' timetable for remote
workers is significantly more flexible. However, we are also juggling more unscheduled
activities. This kind of turmoil adds stress, reduces time for relaxation and self-care, and disturbs
the regular sleep routine.
CHAPTER V
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Lack of Sleep got the highest weighted mean of 4 marks “AGREE” as the level
of agreement.
As supported of Dr. Carl Rosenberg published on September 25, 2020 by the result of
question 7: Lack of Sleep. Most distance learners do not adhere to a strict timetable. The 'new
normal' timetable for remote workers is significantly more flexible. However, we are also
juggling more unscheduled activities. This kind of turmoil adds stress, reduces time for
relaxation and self-care, and disturbs the regular sleep routine.
“Topics were discussed too fast” is not merely a problem because of the neutral
result 3.6 which is still high.
As supported by the study of Watts (2016) Asynchronous instruction means that teachers
and students do not have synchronous sessions and that students can access course content at any
time they want or need it using the Internet. Participants communicate mostly through email and
online forums, which are normally moderated by the teacher.
CONCLUSION
Students taking up Technical Vocational Strand of Data Center College of the
Philippines, Senior High School Department was mostly affected on blended learning amidst
Covid-19 pandemic. The result of the gathered data Out of fifty (50) respondents in question
number 7: Lack of Sleep got the highest mean of 4 marks “AGREE” as the level of agreement.
In addition to that, as supported of Dr. Carl Rosenberg published on September 25, 2020
by the result of number 7: Lack of Sleep. Most distance learners do not adhere to a strict
timetable. The 'new normal' timetable for remote workers is significantly more flexible.
However, we are also juggling more unscheduled activities. This kind of turmoil adds stress,
reduces time for relaxation and self-care, and disturbs the regular sleep routine.
