conceptually and operationally.

Part Five, Scopes and Delimitation of the Study, sets the scope of the research in terms of research
design, participants, sample size, and sampling procedure, locale, data gathering instruments and

Background and Theoretical Framework of the study

The unexpected outbreak of the coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has affected almost every sector,
including the higher education institutions around the world (Adedoyin & Soykan, 2020). During this
critical moment of the COVID-19 pandemic, most of the countries around the world shifted to online
teaching (Bokayev et al., 2021). Like many other countries around the globe, the government of
Philippines has also decided to dismiss all the educational institutions to contain the huge spread of the
COVID-19 pandemic (Orfan & Elmyar, 2020). Due to the closure of all the academic institutions across
the country, the Department of Education (depEd) of Philippines decided to compensate for the
teaching process through an online teaching system and modular system. Since then, the public
universities across the country have experienced online teaching and modular learning as the new
phenomenon during the COVID-19 pandemic where there was no prior preparation for such an
emergency case.
Hence, one of the affected outcomes of COVID-19 can be the academic performance of students as they
experience their first attempt towards online teaching and modular learning and therefore, their level of
satisfaction from online teaching can also be significant to be measured. To address the significance of
online teaching and modular learning in such emergency cases, the present study aimed to investigate
the effects of COVID-19 on the academic performance of students and their satisfaction level with online
teaching and modular learning during the COVID-19 outbreak. In addition, this study figures out the
significant difference in the academic performance of Education students along with their level of
satisfaction across gender. Besides, the relationship between the academic performance of students and
their level of satisfaction with online teaching and modular learning is examined.

This study was conducted to determine the effects of COVID-19 pandemic on the Academic
performance of For this purpose, the researcher formulated the following research questions to reach
these goals.

1. Is there any effect (positive or negative) of the COVID-19 on the academic performance of Capsu
Education students?

2. To what extent are the Capsu Education students satisfied with online teaching during the COVID-19
outbreak?

3. Is there any significant difference in the academic performance of Capsu Education students across
gender?

4. Is there any significant difference in their level of satisfaction with online teaching and modular
learning across gender?

5. Is there any relationship between the academic performance of Capsu Education students and the
reported level of satisfaction with online teaching and modular learning?
