The research assessed the perception of the respondents

toward the effect of Covid-19 pandemic to the academic

performance of third year college English major in Samar

Colleges Inc., City of Catbalogan, during the School Year

2021-2022. This involved 34 student-respondents from

Bachelor of Secondary Education Major in English who

 vii

responded to a questionnaire as the sole data collection

instrument.

The findings revealed that the mean of the ages of the

student-respondents was posted at 22.825 years old, with a

standard deviation of 4.60 years; 29 or 85.29 percent were

female while 5 or 14.71 percent were male; 26 or 76.47

percent belonged to families with less than Php 10,000.00

gross monthly family income; ten or 29.41 percent had

fathers who have only reach elementary level and nine or

26.47 percent had mothers who were high school graduates.

Also, 14 or 41.18 percent had fathers who were engaged in

agriculture-related occupations and 13 or 38.24 percent had

mothers who were plain housewives.

Moreover, it was found out that smart or android phone

dominated the usual technological resources that was used by

the student-respondents with 19 or 55.88 percent; with that,

there is 16 or 47.06 percent whose source of internet

connection was thru smart or android phone data connection

that is provided by their SIM card providers and 17 or 50.00

percent who agreed that their area’s level of internet

connection was strong.

Furthermore, the overall mean for the perception on the

effects of Covid-19 pandemic to the academic performance of

the student-respondents was estimated at 3.89, interpreted

 viii

as Considerably Affected. More importantly, the findings

showed that the student-respondents were very aware of the

current situation in our educational system about the

transition of the traditional face-to-face class to blended

learning and the possible effect on their academic

performance at school.

Finally, it was yielded that between the student-

respondents’ perception on the effect of Covid-19 pandemic

to their academic performance and each of their profile

variates were insignificantly related.
