ABSTRACT
This study was designed to investigate how limited expenditure affects the online
class performance of the students enrolled in College of Saint Adela Inc. Emphasis was
put on trying to establish the relationship between the profile of the respondents, limited
expenditure, and online class performance of selected grade 12 online class perfor-
mance in their class. The validity and reliability of research instruments were established
and data was collected from one hundred fifty respondents selected from Grade 12 stu-
dents using the convenience sampling method. The instrumentation was used through
the questionnaire. To analyze the data, we derived from Waiberg's Educational Produc-
tivity Theory, Grusec and Davidov Family Financial Socialization Theory, and Connec-
tivism learning Theory were used to aim of establishing the relationship between stu-
dent’s gadgets, parents’ socio-economic status, student’s environment and online class
performance of 12 students of College of Saint Adela Inc. Results showed that the ma-
jority of the respondents are 18 years old (50%. Students with a monthly income of less
than Php 20,000 have a frequency of 100, which is equal to 66.67 percent. The strands
have the same frequency and percentage which is 16.67%. And in terms of sex, the fre-
quencies are the same and it is both 50%. Test of difference showed that it identified a
total of 2.4 mean and 2.09 standard deviations in Limited Expenditure and Online Class
Results, indicating that there is no substantial relationship between limited expenditure
and student performance in online classes.

The Problem and Its Background
This Chapter discusses the Introduction, Statement of the Problem, Hypothesis,
Theoretical Construct of the Study, Conceptual Framework, Scope and Delimitation,
Significance of Study, and Definition of terms.
Introduction
Education is important in life; however, in this pandemic amidst where the source is
limited, education most likely to be sacrificed. The COVID-19 pandemic has affected the
normal living of everyone. Basic needs such as food, clothing, shelter, and utilities are
the main priority in this time of being. Aside from these, students also have school fees
to settle, gadgets, and means of internet access to connect in this new e-learning. Many
students have been finding it difficult to sustain their needs because they lack money.
Nowadays, money is significant. Currency is required for daily survival. For one to
preserve a certain quality of life, incomes are an incredibly important matter (Park,
2014). Having a stable financial status helps a lot in taking an education. Park also
stated that people value education highly in their lives and quality education is
dependent on the amount of money spent on this type of investment. Parents play a big
part in supporting their child’s needs.
Online learning is a new way and the safest option for students. There is the
possibility that online learning will be able to provide anybody, and anywhere with a
world-class education as long as they have access to the Internet (Nguyen, 2015). The
Internet and the World Wide Web is just one click away and it carries all the information
and connection needed such as the Learning Management systems (LMS), meeting
apps, and the social media.
Teachers and students are interacting using these to make this home-based learning
work. Gadgets and internet connections are additional materials that are needed to
participate in online classes. Education provides an understanding of the world around
us and transforms it into something better. Among other things, education makes us
capable of understanding things. Kafoumba Doumbia stated that without education,
information can’t be translated into wisdom.

students. Having a great academic performance indicates the positive outcome of the
student’s efforts. Aside from the fact that students are not familiar with this online
method of learning, the reason may be the student is working hard to fulfill their financial
needs that makes education the least prioritized. The explanation could be the students
with poor financial history have to work hard for their studies as well as their living
expenses. Also, the environment that surrounds the student can affect their
performance. On how the parents, teachers, and even their peers approach, they can
have a great impact on their studies. It decreases their ability to do well which resulted in
poor academic performance.
Connectivism learning theory
In this time of the pandemic, students are learning online but somehow parents are
not convinced if their child will learn something from studying online however according
to George Siemens (2004) learning is a process that takes place in nebulous
environments with changing core elements, which means that it is not something that
can be controlled by a single person. Learning as actionable knowledge, according to
George Siemens (2004), can be learned outside of ourselves, in an institution or
database that is based on linking specialized information sets and interactions that allow
students to learn more and more important than our current state of knowledge.

Conceptual Framework
a study table. While in the free Google searching of information, the Researchers will
create a Facebook page. Here the students who not have an internet connection can
send a personal message and the admins, which is the Researchers will respond to their
messages.
whether in a tiny scale or wide range scale to the following individuals in their respective
fields.
DepEd Authorities. The Department of Education’s main goal is to provide
sustainable development which promotes student’s excellence to be able to produce
productive equal access for their preparation of global competitiveness. Having Limited
Expenditure is one of the common factors that obstruct the pertinacious of this goal.
When the results are vivid, the DepEd Authorities together with the school administration
may conduct step-by-step planning and finalize it to be able to terminate the problem of
limited expenditure.
Students. This will benefit the 6 students since they are the most
related in this kind of research because most of the schools implemented the study
process through online classes amidst this pandemic. Students will benefit to know more
about this study and realize that they should be more diligent and be responsible in their
tasks even if they are in an online class.
Parents. This will benefit the parents so they will be aware of the impact of
expenditure of their child in online class performance, they will motivate and guide more
their child to attend in their online class and be responsible to do their works like
modules in the right time. They will also find a way to help and fulfill the needs of their
child in school financially.
Teachers. Teachers are the ones who need to have more knowledge about the
impact of limited expenditure on their students because they are the ones who will help
the students to learn the lessons in the easiest ways even in an online class, and also
the teacher will decide how to make it easier for students to understand and perform the
activities they will provide without hassling them.
School Administrators. The result of this study will help administrators to organize
more the time that should be managed and the process of doing an online class. Also,
for them to be able to understand that not everyone is financially stable to meet the
online class requirements.
Future Researchers. The process of this study will produce a great satisfaction for
future researchers that could serve as a basis or reference for their future research. This
will also serve as a guide on how to conduct quantitative research in society.

World. The result of this study will help not only the grade 12 Senior High School of
College of Saint Adela Inc. but also the different countries in the world. In this study, they
will know and understand that in every household there is a student who is struggling
with resources that can impact their learning. Adjustments can be done for those
students who are lacking in expenditures and resources.

incapability to access the technology required for distance learning and the resources
they need at home. Parents, pupils, teachers, and school administrators around the
world were confused about how to safely pull off a new school term and still educate
people. Schwab (2020) pointed that multiple devices are required for families with
several children. There are lots of expenses that come with home education. Parents
can’t rely on lunches at school and special programs for learning. And, of course, for
households who do not have the internet or need a stronger link, there’s a technology
upgrade.
Lynch (2017) stated that lack of reliable, high-speed internet will only make the so-
called achievement gap wider. Experiencing and attending the actual class meetings can
help the students understand the lessons easily. Having a fast and stable internet
connection in this home-based learning is an advantage for students with access and a
disadvantage for those who don’t. Chaloux (2008) claimed that the online classes also
have an additional fee to settle applied to computers, Internet access, and "technology"
fees. At the speed of lightning, technology continues to evolve and everyone who does
not keep up is in danger of being left behind. The way students’ research has changed
dramatically as a result. Although books remain a valuable tool, the need to spend hours
and hours sitting in the library has drastically decreased. Students now have various
choices open to them when it comes to strategies for learning.
Also, parents can serve as a great factor in students learning. Wherein, Krashen
(2005) concluded that on test scores, students whose parents are educated score higher
than those whose parents have not been educated. Students can ask for help and
instruction and their parents. Educated parents can teach and guide the student more in
their studies. Also, Calarco (2020) stated that encouraging children to finish their
homework is often difficult for families that handling full-time jobs and household duties
on a limited budget. Families with low incomes can also have difficulty keeping their kids
studying because they cannot afford the requisite technology. Students will face huge
challenges to academic achievement, and their families cannot easily set up a school-
like atmosphere of laptops, quiet workspaces, and hands-on help to keep them studying
while at home. Although it is impossible to determine how families will cope with the
difficult situation, research shows that if schools stay closed longer, low-income parents
will have a tougher time helping their kids keep learning.

A setting where students study affects the way they perform academic activities.
Weaver (2013) emphasized that another aspect that impacts academic success may be
environmental constraints. This may include the opportunities provided by a student's
environment, or, perhaps most importantly, their parents' financial condition. Every
learner needs to have a place wherein they can study effectively.
Local Studies
Since in-face classes are impossible, the Department of Education (DepEd) and the
Commission on Higher Education (CHED), which governs schools, have compiled
distance learning options that include online platforms, offline courses, or a hybrid of the
two, called blended or flexible learning. Yet, only one issue was solved by obtaining a
laptop for online classes. Students are often locked out of class by power outages and a
sluggish internet connection. Santos (2020) mentioned that having one device as a
sibling inevitably results in conflicts over who gets to use it when their class schedules
overlap. Besides, Nicholls (2020) claimed that due to lack of access to gadgets or the
internet, most of them prefer printed modules or lessons as their alternative learning
delivery modality. It is the best option for those who do not have and not capable of
buying gadgets for their online class. In which, the students will receive hardcopy or
softcopy modules that they will use to study without being obligated to attend the online
meeting sessions.
Many children from low-income families dropped out of school because schools
reported a lack of the devices required for such learning, and students found it difficult to
share them (See and Rinoza, 2020). Wherein, not every household is capable of buying
new gadgets needed for the online class. Sebastian (2020) stated that due to online
learning, power and internet expenditures have doubled. Since everybody is at home all
day, food and grocery expenses are now doubled per month. From food to electricity
and internet, were also doubled because of online classes. Buying a machine and a
printer are also financial setbacks, as certain worksheets need to be typed and printed.
This is a truly big increase in the monthly spending of many Filipino families. Alipio
(2020), pointed that if the financial, operational, and internet connectivity issues of
learners in the low-income sector and rural areas are resolved, the future shift to e-
learning should be considered. Further strategic planning and quality control processes,
11
COLLEGE OF SAINT ADELA, INC
without sacrificing quality learning, should be geared towards fair and inclusive
education. Some teachers may go back to basics and distribute annotated physical
textbooks via courier services to their students. As long as teachers and students are
active in the education field, the curriculum and content of the learning modules are well
developed and customized, technical constraints are understood, and user-friendly and
enjoyable materials are present, education can continue in one way or another.
Several factors need to be weighed as the Philippines moves into a new style of
learning. This involves the skill of teachers, the learner’s circumstance and context, and
the learning environment’s effectiveness (Joaquin, Biana, and Dacela, 2020). A child
who lives in a stressful home environment tends to become more stressed and produce
disruptive behavior at school. Also, students who worry about their safety at home tend
to underperform academically. Studying at a quiet place such as the library, or a quiet
room is the best way to concentrate. Having a noisy environment is disturbing. The focus
that you have while studying will be diverted to the source of the noise. That is why
Mayor Zamora banned videoke during weekdays and stated that “our students are
already having a hard time adjusting to their online classes. Loud music would only
make it more difficult for them at these times” (San Juan to ban videoke, 2020).
While on the other hand, amid perennial problems with slow internet, many parents in
Cebu raised concerns regarding internet-based learning (Parents: Slow internet, 2020).
Also, Garcia (2017) claimed that students can notice that when the internet connection is
stable, it is easier to access the LMS. Experiencing lag and disconnections during online
class is stressful for students as well as to some parents. With just a simple lag and
disconnection, the student can miss some of the important parts of the discussion.
Having fast internet access can help the students be at advantage in the online class.
Because of the quarantine measures, schools were required to keep the rest of their
semester online. Students told that some of their teachers were difficult to meet, with
one of them suffering a power shortage, making it difficult to contact them (Cua, 2020).
They found that the online learning format is not that effective. Being more considerate
to those who do not have an internet connection is needed and still, the online learning
experience is different in the physical classroom setting.

Local Literature
Some students were simply using 12 all of the available tools. Pobar (2012)
explained, “it means that their basic needs have not yet been met, making it difficult for
them to meet the next higher requirements.” A poor family, according to Flores (2020),
earns a low monthly income and lives in the NCR or Cavite. Because of that, they can't
provide their children a quality education at home. It is simply not enough, given the
monthly cost of data and a laptop, on top of rent, food, and basic utilities. It would
already eat up almost half of the monthly earnings of a family to have to buy a low-end
laptop.
Tullao and Rivera (2009) claimed that as the income of households’ increases, they
will also increase their expenditures on normal goods and services. According to Kritz
(2020), some families would be unable to adapt to the criteria for online schooling and
will be left behind or forced to find alternative methods of education for their children.
However, primary education is widely government-funded in the Philippines. The
Department of Education is doing everything for everyone not to be left out.
Faced with the great problem of the digital divide, the creation of an ICT-skilled
population in Asia is an uphill battle. Ramos( (2007) and Ali (2020) emphasized that
access to information, communication technology, and facilities in urban centers are
minimal and available only to those who can afford it. It is a big challenge for every
business, government agency, school, and home to have an access to information
technology. The Government of the Philippines has realized the need to address the
problems of ICT implementation, and committed itself, in its IT action agenda to ensure
that everyone will have access to information technology by the turn of the 21st century,
via community-based access at least.
Even back then, students in the Philippines were struggling to stay connected, with
inadequate internet connectivity preventing students from attending classes, affecting
their overall academic performance (“Lack of subsidies for gadgets and mobile data,”
2020). To apply requirements and keep up with classmates, some students go to the
extent of climbing mountains, crossing rivers, and living in improvised tree houses.
When considering the population’s access to devices to connect to the internet, the
figures do not make for any better reading. In the first place, the fact that such hurdles
13
COLLEGE OF SAINT ADELA, INC
exist should have been ample proof that the education system is flatly unprepared for
the reopening of classes.
Not every household is capable of the online class method. Instead of thinking
because they cannot afford a gadget and internet access, the modular method is the
other option. The Department of Education (DepEd) postponed the starting of the school
year and provided students at home with self-Learning modules (Dollanganger, 2020).
Also, DepEd will use television and radio-based instructions across the country to
broadcast lessons, materials, and instructions to those who don't have access to a
computer or the internet (Malindog-Uy, 2020).
In a nation of 108 million Filipinos, where less than a fifth of households have internet
access and many lack mobile devices, the transition to online courses, self-learning
modules, and television and radio programs has proven extremely difficult, according to
Lopez (2021). The outbreak of COVID-19 not only forced everyone to think about the
technologies for providing education, despite the different stresses it brings. It also
forced all to question the very essence of education itself. Specific policies that will
promote a new generation of distance educators should be created and enforced by the
government. In essence, educators need to innovate to ensure that education has still
quality.
“Adding more work to the students raises their burden and opposes the specified
intention of the lockout, which is to help their families prepare and adapt to the situation
at hand,” according to Bagayas (2020). It is a concern about the lack of environments
conducive to home learning and the effectiveness of online lectures. While the
government recognizes the need to continue studying, the diverse situations of
university students are not suitable and conducive to such conditions. Students
emphasized how the impact of the coronavirus outbreak on the community may make it
difficult for them to concentrate on academic requirements, especially if they are already
physically, mentally, and financially struggling. In light of the constraints imposed by the
lockdown, others can also cope with household preparations. The possible absence of
environments conducive to learning at home and the usefulness of online lectures is
another concern they posed.
Foreign Literature

A variety of mechanisms have been suggested that link socioeconomic status to child
well-being, with most involving disparities in access to material and
14
social services or responses by both the children themselves and their
parents to stress-inducing conditions. Checchi (2000) claimed that rich parents provide
all critical and required facilities for their educational achievements to their children and
they give good results in their examination in return. Students with this kind of
socioeconomic status have no problem when it comes to providing their educational
needs even in having online classes. They can directly focus on their studies and not be
bothered with any financial problems.
Money adequacy influences the academic performance of learners. Roulston (2009)
noted that children who struggle financially are far more likely than their wealthier peers
to have fewer basic needs. Knowing that their expenditures are limited, they do not
desire to have more but only to live on what they now have. To budget and find a source
of money for their educational needs is a big challenge for most of the students. The
need for stationery is another thing that eats deep into the pockets of students (Nnamani
et. al., 2014). Financial status has been found to depend on the source of finance. Self-
sponsored students are happier than those who either receive their money from their
parents or a fund for scholarships.
Maslow’s Hierarchy or pyramid of human needs explained that the most basic need
of a person is for physical survival are air, food, drink, shelter, clothing, warmth, and
sleep (Kenrick, et.al. 2010). Every child needs to attain all their basic needs. Quality
education is not only enough, they must be having a healthy environment where they
can go. An unlimited resource to have a strong foundation of life is an important factor to
consider.
Students' academic success depends greatly on parental participation in their
academic activities to achieve the highest level of quality of academic achievement
(Barnard, 2004; Henderson, 1988; Shumox & Lomax, 2001). Esparza-LeBlanc (2012)
have claimed that parent's connection and engagement with students are important, they
will feel nurtured and sufficiently encouraged to do a good work of rigorous learning.
Students can be motivated by those around them. Not feeling being alone increases
their determination to pursue their learning and to strive up even more. Wherein, Erwin
15
COLLEGE OF SAINT ADELA, INC
(2004) stated that unmotivated students do poor work and learn a little while motivated
students do well and learn well.
A child coming from a dysfunctional home setting appears to channel stress into
destructive school activity and to be less able to develop a balanced social and
academic life. Jensen (2009) pointed that students raised in poverty are prone to
pressures that weaken school performance and behavior. Socioeconomic status is
positively associated with good parenting, which facilitates academic achievement. Even
if low-income parents do whatever they can for their children, because of their limited
resources children will be at a major disadvantage.
A student must have a better place in doing school-related activities to learn and
have a good performance but it is hindered by a poor environment. Bradley and Corwyn
(2002) claimed that a child who comes from a stressful home environment may be
associated with that stress transfer with disruptive behavior at school and less likely to
develop a healthy social and academic life. Having this situation causes a big distraction
that limits the child's learning potential. Having a clean and relaxing place can help the
student to study and focus even more. However, poor home learning conditions (for
example, no books, lighting, or places to do homework), influence the functional well-
being and capabilities of children to learn Van der Berg (2008). Having limited resources
in learning cannot increase their performance perhaps it also limits their eagerness to
study.

Methodology
This chapter presents the research methodology to be used in this study. It will
describe in detail the research design, population and sampling of the study, research
instrument, data gathering procedure and statistical treatment.
Research Design
A quantitative approach is used in this research design which researchers use things
about mathematics such as numeric information that uses number instead of natural
language description and uses questionnaires to collect data which can be used as
research evidence. As a correlative study, it is the study where the two different
variables are measured to identify their relatedness, whether it is a positive correlation
that the two different variables comes in the same direction that when one variable
increase another variable also increase and vice versa while negative correlation where
the two different variables come to opposite direction whereas the one variable increase
another variable decrease or a zero correlation that there is no relationship between the
two variables.
The population of this study is grade 12 senior high school students. The researchers
selected 75 Academic strand students and 75 Technical-Vocational-Livelihood students
for this study. A total samples of 150 students from College of Saint Adela Inc. The
Researchers selected 25 respondents, consists 12 males and 13 females in each strand
from Science Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM), General Academic
(GA), and Humanities and Social Science (HUMSS). While the Researchers selected 13
males and 12 females in each strand from Information and Communication Technology
(ICT), Food and Beverage Services (FBS), and Bread and Pastry Production (BPP). The
Researchers did not select respondents from Accountancy and Business Management
since they were students from this strand.
Since this study would be done online, the researchers used convenience sampling.
Wherein, the respondents were chosen depending on their availability and willingness to
participate in the study.

To gather the data, the researchers decided on who would be the selected
respondents. After selecting respondents, the researchers asked permission to conduct
this study from the school principal, Mrs. Angelina F. Lim, including Ms.Liezel Paldez
and Ms.Ehlie Rose Baguinaon. After approval, the researchers started giving out a set of
questions that would be filled with data that is necessary for this study.
Statistical Treatment
To define the data effectively, the researchers will use the following formula.
1. Frequency. It was used to know the number of respondents who answered in the
options given for each questions.
2. Percentage. This was used to describe the respondents in terms of their profile
variables such as age, sex, socio-economic status and number of gadgets.

that some students are struggling with their internet connection and do not have enough
gadgets to cope up with other activities maybe they can provide free Wi-Fi and gadgets
to those students who badly need it.
Teachers. The Researchers want to recommend this study to inform them that some
students were struggling financially and prevent giving students a lot of activities that
may cost a lot of money and to inform them that some students are having problems
with internet connection so maybe they can extend the deadline.
Future Researchers. The Researcher want to recommend this study as an example of
how they should make research and to help them better understand the problem of
today’s students.
Parents. The Researcher wants to recommend this study to inform the parents that
they should be responsible for looking for some jobs to fulfill their children's needs and
give support to their children.
Administrators. The Researcher wants to recommend this study to inform them that
not all students are financially stable so they can give consideration for them like
decreasing payments and consider the promise-sorry note.
