ABSTRACT

The study titled ‘The Impact Of The Re-Implementation Of Face-To-Face Classes On The

Academic Performance Of Grade 12 Students’ aims to know and assess the influences of the

re-introduction of face-to-face classes on the academic performance of Grade 12 students of

Paco Catholic School. The researchers sought to understand the changes in the daily routine of

Grade 12 students after the re-implementation of face-to-face classes, how the re-implementation

of face-to-face classes influenced the academic performance of Grade 12 students, and the

particular aspects of parental involvement that had a significant influence on the academic

performance of Grade 12 students. The findings show the benefits of face-to-face instruction

compared to online learning in terms of student performance and personal growth. The majority

of students prefer in-person classes due to improved communication and collaboration. It

suggests that face-to-face instruction increases engagement and motivation, leading to higher

academic performance and easier communication and productivity. Overall, this study

emphasizes the importance of returning to face-to-face instruction and parental involvement in

improving academic outcomes.

CHAPTER I

INTRODUCTION

A. Background of the study

The COVID-19 pandemic has caused immense disruption in traditional education

methods resulting in a shift towards online distance teaching - but not all students had

equal access to high-quality technology resources or conducive environments necessary

for effective remote learning. As countries like the Philippines resume in-person classes

slowly but surely, we must understand how transitioning back impacts academic

achievement levels among learners. This research hones in on grade twelve students

from Paco Catholic School who underwent a shift from pure remote lectures towards

blended learning approaches featuring both remote and face-to-face instructions.

Distance learning, also known as distance education, e-learning, or online

learning, is a technique that uses various technologies to physically separate teachers and

students during instruction to facilitate student-teacher and student-student interactions

(Berg, Gary A. and Simonson, Michael, 2023). Distance Learning is an extensive

educational practice that involves various techniques and approaches. Online courses,

virtual classrooms, webinars, video conferences are just some examples of what

comprises this form of education. Its primary goal is making knowledge more accessible

regardless of location restrictions or social circumstances so people can learn at their own

pace in their preferred environment. Technology has enabled distance learning's delivery

Page 5 of 162
with teachers being able deliver lectures remotely while using digital resources for

sharing information and providing feedback on student progress.

Similarly, students can also become actively involved by accessing course

materials online participating in class discussions with peers resulting in increased

engagement despite being physically dispersed from each other. The beauty of distant

education lies in its ability to be flexible meaning it could serve learners' diverse needs

and is relevant particularly during crises like the COVID-19 pandemic when face-to-face

instruction isn't possible.

Bridge (2020) reported that schools and universities are shifting toward

educational technologies for student performance to prevent strain during the pandemic

season. Course Design pertains to the knowledge of the curriculum, organization of the

program, instructional objectives, and framework of the course (Wright, 2003). If it is

planned meticulously, it can enhance the satisfaction of the students with the educational

system (Almaiah & Alyoussef, 2019). An effective course design can lead to the

acceptance of the e-learning system by the students; as a result, their performance will

also increase (M. Raisamo, 2014). Hence, many instructors giving blended courses for

the first time will have to redesign their lectures to prepare them for online study. (Bersin,

2004; Ho et al., 2006). However, if the course is poorly designed, teachers and students

may be less likely to use e-learning platforms (Almaiah & Almulhem, 2018).

The COVID-19 pandemic remains a global health emergency as the world enters

its fourth year into the pandemic. The world will enter a new era; hospitalizations and

deaths will be kept to a minimum (Kimball, S. 2023). Most countries, including the

Page 6 of 162
Philippines, are going back to normalcy and re-implementing the return of face-to-face

classes, where parents and students have a choice to attend the blended-learning modality,

a form of schooling where learners study through electronic and online media as well as

traditional face-to-face instruction or online distance learning, subject to health and safety

requirements (Staff, T. 2020).

Developers and providers of online distance learning need a better understanding

of how students perceive and react to blended learning elements because student

perception and attitude are critical to motivation (Bali et al., 2018). Paco Catholic School

was one of the educational institutions to implement the blended learning modality before

committing to a full face-to-face setup. With this change being made again after two

years of only learning through online classes, the researchers aim to know how impactful

the re-implementation of face-to-face lectures is to the academic performance of Grade

12 students in Paco Catholic School.

The primary aim of this research is to evaluate the effect of blended instruction

on student academic outcomes following the move back to in-person classes. We'll also

assess factors such as quality technology resources, internet accessibility, and optimal

learning environment which might have impacted student motivation and engagement

levels during the period of remote instruction.

The researchers seek to understand students' thoughts on blended instructive

methods, their satisfaction levels and motivation towards this approach post-pandemic -

ultimately providing valuable insights for educational establishments and policymakers

navigating post-pandemic academic landscapes.

B. STATEMENT OF THE PROBLEM

The study aims to know and assess the influences of the re-implementation of

face-to-face classes on the academic performance of Grade 12 students of Paco Catholic

School after getting used to the online class setup. The following research questions are

what this study aims to answer:

1. What are the changes in the daily routine of Grade 12 students after the

re-implementation of face-to-face classes?

2. How did the re-implementation of face-to-face classes influenced the academic

performance of Grade 12 students?

3. What particular aspects of parental involvement have a significant influence on the

academic performance of Grade 12 students?

C. SIGNIFICANCE OF THE STUDY

Switching back to a traditional class setup is quite challenging, not just for the

school administrators, but for the students as well. In effect, we, the researchers, have

decided to conduct this study as a means to know the academic performance of the grade

12 students after re-implementing face-to-face classes. The following individuals and/or

groups, in particular, could greatly benefit from the key findings of this study:

Firstly, the re-implementation of face-to-face setup had a significant impact on

students' academic performance and achievements. This study would be able to help the

Page 8 of 162
students provide valuable insights about their performance between the two modalities of

learning. Furthermore, this research can help them understand the benefits and challenges

of face-to-face learning and how they can adapt to this change.

Secondly, this study would be beneficial for parents and/or guardians to help

them understand the struggles their children are experiencing during and after the

re-implementation. Increased engagement with children’s education; studying the

re-implementation of face-to-face classes can help parents become more engaged in their

children’s education and provide opportunities for them to get involved in school

activities and events. This can help strengthen the parent-child relationship and support

children’s academic and personal growth.

Thirdly, as guidance counselors, their primary responsibility is to support and

counsel students as they make academic and personal decisions. Students may be in need

of guidance as they face major changes like going back to face-to-face class setup. Going

back to the new normal, after 2-3 years, students may lack social communication skills,

as well as having their daily routines greatly affected. They may also provide emotional

support to students as the pandemic has taken a toll on their overall well-being as a

student.

Fourthly, teachers and academic coordinators are the ones who are responsible

for making sure that the students get a high-quality education. The findings of this

Page 9 of 162
research will help educators reform or improve their teaching approaches and strategies

that may be suited for the students to enhance their learning potential in a traditional

learning setting, especially since there were students who had a hard time adjusting to an

online setup. In addition, the teachers and academic coordinators may need to come up

with a course of action that’ll give additional support to the academic learning of

students.

Fifthly, Society could attain apprehension on how the re-implementation of

face-to-face classes influences, not only the students of Paco Catholic School but also

students nationwide. Whereas, there would be a common understanding among the

community about the impacts that the students experienced. In this way, the community

would be able to adjust and provide resolutions to certain predicaments caused by the

changes of the pandemic.

Sixthly, this study will be of great help to the researchers for it is able to give

findings to give clarity for the created research questions and objectives. Moreover,

understanding the significance of the research can help identify inadequacies in the

existing knowledge base and will be able to guide the researchers to identify the potential

impact of this study on society.

Seventhly, the role of policymakers in society is to create policies that promote

the common good and improve the overall well-being of society. This study as a whole

Page 10 of 162
will help to inform their policy decisions that will improve the quality of education for

students.

D. SCOPE AND DELIMITATIONS

The qualitative study intends to assess the impact of the pandemic on the

academic achievement of Grade 12 students as they move from online-distance learning

to face-to-face instruction. The emphasis is on the repercussions of reintroducing

face-to-face instruction on the academic achievement of current Grade 12 students

(2022-2023).

Furthermore, the study will revolve around Grade 12 students from Paco

Catholic School, specifically those enrolled in the STEM Senior High School program.

The data will be collected through in-depth interviews with the participants through

scheduled meetings in Microsoft Teams. The timeframe for the study is from February

until May.

Lastly, the study is limited to Grade 12 students from a single school and

program, which may restrict the findings' generalizability. The study also focuses solely

on academic success, perhaps overlooking other factors that influence student

performance. The study's time range is also four months, which may not represent the

pandemic's long-term consequences on academic performance.

Interpretation and Analysis:

The diagram assesses the procedure of the study and demonstrates an understanding of the

importance of Grade 12 STEM students' educational experiences by focusing on the impact of

returning to in-person classes on their academic performance. With COVID-19 having catalyzed

this shift from online learning, exploring its potential effects is timely and relevant.

Through semi-structured interviews with participating students, factors that influence scholastic

outcomes such as learning environment, teaching methods, peer interactions, and individual

characteristics were examined with care and attention to nuance. Ultimately providing insights

into what elements shape student achievement during this phase while highlighting parental

involvement as one particular key determinant.

This research adds to our current understanding by exploring how reintroducing in-person

classes affects the academic achievement of Grade 12 STEM students and highlighting the

influence of parents on their academic habits. The outcomes could be used to shape educational

methods and policies, striving for an excellent learning environment and supportive network for

comparable student groups.

G. REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE

Over the past 3 years, the COVID-19 pandemic has significantly impacted people’s daily

lives—not only in the Philippines but also in the rest of the world, in so many aspects such as

industry, healthcare, careers, economic activities, physical interaction, and education. Now, it's

getting back to normal and people’s daily lives are going back to how it was before the

pandemic. There is no denying the change that the pandemic brought on us, and how it affected

various aspects of people's lives.

● Impact of the COVID-19 Pandemic and the Transition of Learning Modalities

During the pandemic, students and teachers involuntarily switched from face-to-face

classes to online distance learning to cope with and immobilize the spread of the virus. Using

different apps such as Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and Google Meet, students and teachers were

able to continue their classes. At the present time, since the COVID-19 virus is a lesser threat

now, the concept of going back to school, and physically interacting with teachers and classmates

in a classroom is being re-implemented. The researchers aim to know the effects of the transition

which explores how the re-implementation of traditional face-to-face classes has influenced the

student’s overall academic engagement.

According to Serhan, D. (2020), Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, universities and

schools had to completely transition from face-to-face learning to remote instruction, resulting in

an unusual instructional setting for both educators and students. Teachers utilized various

functionalities of Zoom to establish engaging educational settings. Some of these features

include a virtual whiteboard with the ability to annotate concepts, breakout rooms to promote

Page 15 of 162
small-group collaboration, polls to gather student feedback and chat to facilitate class

discussions. Furthermore, Zoom meetings can be recorded and accessed for future reference. The

quality of teaching and learning through video conferencing falls short compared to the

experience in a traditional classroom environment.

According to the study done by Rezvan Nazempour et al., (2022) COVID-19 pandemic

has affected various aspects of daily life across the globe. To help slow the spread of the virus,

many countries have implemented lockdowns and stay-at-home orders. As a result, higher

education institutions in the United States have had to switch from in-person classes to online

platforms and distance learning. However, this shift to remote teaching has been challenging, as

neither students nor faculty were fully prepared for such a sudden change, and some institutions

lacked faculty members with online teaching experience. The study emphasizes the importance

of understanding the impact of the transition to online learning on different student subgroups.

While the results suggest that academically average to high-performing students with cumulative

GPAs above 2.90 may be negatively affected by the shift to online learning, the effects on

students with lower GPAs are inconclusive. It is important to comprehend the consequences of

this transition on students' academic performance as these findings could have implications for

future courses and policies. The researchers suggest that the template approach used in their

study could be applied to other courses and used by university administrators to create

emergency policies for situations beyond pandemics.

Page 16 of 162
● Challenges and Benefits of Online-distance learning

Another study conducted by Andrew E. Clark et al., (2021) found that due to the

COVID-19 pandemic, many schools have closed, and students have had to rely on online

learning platforms to complete their education. The closure of schools during lockdowns has

caused significant difficulties for teachers, students, and parents, and the lack of physical school

attendance may have a negative impact on student's academic performance and future

well-being, according to previous research (Aucejo et al., 2020; Azevedo et al., 2021; Engzell et

al., 2021; Eyles et al., 2020). In an effort to reduce the negative impact, many schools provided

online lessons, which resulted in a 0.22 standard deviation improvement in students' academic

achievement compared to students who did not receive any support from their school. However,

the quality of the online courses mattered, with students who received lessons from external

teachers outperforming those who received lessons from their own teachers. Although distance

learning benefited both rural and urban students, those who used a computer performed better

than those who used a smartphone. Finally, the study found that low achievers benefited the most

from high-quality teachers in online learning.

A society’s development depends on a society’s educational capacity. According to the

study of Mohanad & Mohammed (2020), both distant learning and face-to-face education are

considered major methods in the education system. This study wants to determine the

commonalities and differences between the two systems in terms of educational efficiency and

people are starting to wonder if the e-learning level of learners in the distant learning system is

lower compared to learners in the face-to-face system. The findings revealed that a distant

learning system is more flexible and economically desirable than traditional education systems.

Page 17 of 162
Due to the outbreak of the coronavirus education worldwide has been affected thoroughly and

because of this both students and teachers had to adapt to a new form of learning.

● Student Preferences on Learning Modality

In a study that Nasution et al. (2021) conducted, the researchers used descriptive research

with a quantitative approach. Their research aims to determine which of the learning modalities,

namely face-to-face learning, online learning, and blended learning, are most preferred by the

students. The scope of their study focuses on the student’s preference for the said learning

modalities in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, with the limitations that their study relied

on self-reported data from the participants and that the researchers did not explore the impacts of

factors on the student's perception of the learning modalities. Based on their research, out of the

100 students, 78% chose face-to-face learning as their most preferred learning modality, 22%

chose blended learning, and only 2% chose online learning as their learning modality. It proves

that the most preferred learning setup is face-to-face learning, despite their research proving that

there is no difference in their test results between the two learning modalities. The study that

Nasution et al. (2021) conducted is related to our research as it determined the student's

perceptions of learning and which learning is most preferred by students between face-to-face

learning and online learning.

The traditional form of education has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. To

enhance traditional classroom education, it is necessary to identify which components of online

education students preferred during the pandemic. According to the study done by Stoian et., al

(2022), These components include learning, teaching, assessment, and interaction with teachers

and peers. By adapting face-to-face education to their needs, we can incorporate the useful

Page 18 of 162
aspects of online education. It's essential to consider factors such as the integration of

technology, innovative teaching methods, smart technologies, and student experiences and

perceptions. The findings of the study, students prioritize the use of electronic educational

resources by teachers during face-to-face learning.

Based on the study of Vasile Gherheș et al., (2021) this study focuses on the beneficiaries

of the educational process and aims to find out their perceptions of face-to-face and e-learning

and their desire to return, or not, to the traditional form of education. The result shows that the

majority of the 604 students who were asked to answer the questionnaires want to return to

school.

According to Knipe and Lee (2020), the findings revealed that students in remote

learning had a lower quality of teaching and learning than their experience in the traditional

classroom. The finding of the study, students had an unfavorable perspective toward Zoom and

believed that it had an adverse impact on their learning experience and motivation to learn.

We know that there are a lot of factors to weigh in if what modality is best suited for a

pupil. This has been very evident since the pandemic struck our lives. The study of Bali, S., and

Liu, M. C. (2018) aims to understand how students feel about face-to-face and online courses in

terms of social presence, interpersonal interactions, and satisfaction. In order to examine student

learning perceptions independent of the method used to deliver the course and the online

environment, a comparison between the online group and the face-to-face group was conducted.

According to the study's findings, face-to-face learning was perceived as being superior

to online learning. However, there is no statistically significant difference between student levels

Page 19 of 162
in terms of learning preferences. Some students, meanwhile, were very at ease with online

education because it gave them the opportunity to be creative by utilizing technology.

● Impact of Learning Modality on Academic Performance

The learning outcomes related to the re-implementation of face-to-face learning policies

to overcome learning loss conditions are better than when using an online learning system

(learning from home). In addition, Rizaldi, et. al. (2021b) in their research also state that students

are more active during the direct learning process and provide opportunities for students to

establish good cooperation between classmates. The findings of this study coincide with our

research about finding out how the impact of the re-implementation of face-to-face affected the

student’s academic performance, positively and negatively.

Evaluating the proficiency level of undergraduates in their readiness for web-based

education relative to their technology aptitude, study methods, and autonomous drive forms the

primary focus of this inquiry. According to a study by Widodo et al. (2020) conducted among

tertiary-level learners residing in Indonesia, furnished researchers with valuable data pertaining

to student preparedness and ability when transitioning from conventional classroom setups

(face-to-face) to online medium. The findings demonstrate that students who exhibit competency

with technology alongside autonomous learning dispositions are better equipped for embracing

online learning environments effectively. As a result, it is crucial that proper guidance and

adequate resources be provided for those confronting potential challenges adapting. This study

conveys significant implications for improving virtual educational engagements.

Page 20 of 162
With the presented related literature and studies, it is clear that both face-to-face and

online distance learning have their positive and negative effects when in comparison. Having two

different modalities gives students the opportunity to have a more flexible and adaptable

approach to education. It also allows students to have more options that may suit their

preferences and accommodate their needs in studying, which may lead to their own academic

growth. However, it's important to acknowledge that not all students may do well in a certain

modality. As a result, the institution, system, and teachers must be able to provide various

methods or strategies that can support learning in all conditions to design a learning-based

system where students’ psychological conditions are understood and there is flexibility in the

materials that are used for learning.

CHAPTER II

METHODOLOGY

This chapter will revolve around the methodology the study utilized in data collection and

analysis. It discussed the setting where the study took place, population, sampling and sample

size, research design, instrument, and technique of data collection.

I. Population and Sample of the Study

a. Population

The researchers utilized the Purposive Sampling Method under Non-Sampling

Probability due to its effectiveness to gather data as the respondents are being

selected based on the goal of the studies of the researcher. The researchers, with

the assistance of the class adviser or class president of their respective classrooms,

were given a class rank, and a total of three (3) students was chosen per section.

The study is limited to Grade 12 STEM Students of Paco Catholic School. A

total of 15 respondents were involved in conducting the study. The researchers

ensured that participants match the following requirements below:

1. The respondents must be Grade 12 students from Paco Catholic School in

the School Year 2022-2023

2. The respondents must be enrolled in Paco Catholic School’s Senior High

School strand STEM.

3. The respondents must have experienced the transition of the class set-up

from online classes to face-to-face classes in the school year

Page 22 of 162
2022-2023.Given the importance of research ethics, each respondent will

be given a consent letter before being questioned to confirm that they

accept to participate in the interview and provide their replies.

b. Setting

The study was conducted in the Final Term of the Second Semester of the

Academic Year 2022-2023. Since the researchers are focusing on academic

performance, the researchers aimed to know how it affected the student's

academic performance as they transition from online-distance learning to

face-to-face classes.

II. Data Gathering Procedure and Tool

a. Instrumentations

The researchers utilized a semi-structured questionnaire to collect the necessary

data for this study. The questionnaire included a series of questions designed to

determine how the re-implementation of the face-to-face modality affected their

academic performance. Moreover, the researchers utilized a semi-structured

format as it allows open-ended questions in the questionnaire designed to collect

the data needed for the study. Lastly, the questionnaire will be subjective; this

way, the respondents would be able to elaborate on the reasons behind their

points.

Page 23 of 162
a. Procedure

The researchers used semi-structured interviews in Microsoft Teams; the

researchers were able to converse with the participants and unravel how the

re-implementation of face-to-face classes affected their studies, notably their

performance in class and academics. Through this, the researchers were able to

understand and realize how the pandemic truly affected the lives of Grade 12

STEM students who involuntarily transitioned into an online setting to continue

the academic calendar. Furthermore, the researchers became instruments that were

able to bring to light the different difficulties the participants have gone through.

The participants were interviewed virtually through their respective Microsoft

Teams accounts.

b. Design

The study employed a phenomenological approach which allowed the

researchers to comprehend, analyze, and evaluate how individuals experience a

phenomenon in their daily lives to gain deeper perspectives into how people

understand those experiences. This research design is functional for studying a

phenomenon known through a sensory experience such as the impact of the

re-implementation of face-to-face classes on the academic performance of

students after adjusting to online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Ethical considerations for this study included obtaining informed consent from

participants, ensuring the confidentiality of participants' personal information, and

Page 24 of 162
protecting participants' rights. The utilization of in-depth data gathering and

careful observation of Grade 12 students was able to generate discoveries and

insights that concluded the objectives and purpose of this research which brought

forth a thorough logical research conclusion.

a. Data Analysis

The study employed content analysis to analyze the gathered responses from the

participants and translate it into quantifiable data. Each response from each

question was transcribed and examined thoroughly to identify its main points.

After examining and synthesizing, each data underwent coding to identify the

meaning of the responses and to label them based on the essence of the

respondent’s answer. The similar coded responses were grouped into categories

and were arranged within a frequency table.

Interpretation of Data - Figure 1.1

The data collected shows that although some students preferred when they were in the

online modality, saying that they were more productive because of the availability to use the

internet when doing homework, and that they could chat with their friends and classmates much

more easily, while the majority of the students had a negative experience. Most students felt

more unproductive when they were in online class. Most said that it was boring, uninteresting,

and full of distractions. Others said that classes lacked excitement/engagement due to the online

modality, which also affected the sociability some students had, saying that because of the online

set-up they felt out of place and alone, not fully connecting with their fellow classmates.

There has been a noticeable shift in the daily routines of students following the return of

in-person classes. Participants reported a range of changes, including waking up earlier to

complete the test and prepare for afternoon classes, feeling more competitive and confident in

expressing themselves, and reacquainting themselves with writing in notebooks instead of

relying solely on technology for note-taking.

subsequent to the resumption of in-person classes. The data demonstrates that some students

have maintained their routines without any modification. Based on the collected data, the

majority of the participants disclosed that they usually took screenshots of the presentation

slides. Conversely, some students revealed that their schedule was impacted, compelling them to

adjust it to align with the school timetable. Additionally, some individuals reported being

accustomed to waking up early, as it was necessary for them to do so to take exams. Some

respondents expressed that they were keen on utilizing technology, whereas others claimed that

their bathing habits were affected. As a result, they had to alter their routine and bathe after class

Interpretation of Data - Figure 2.2

Most students excelled more in face-to-face classes rather than the online distance learning

modality because being in a real classroom where the interaction between friends, classmates,

and teachers are present, it offers more experiences for engagement affecting the student’s

academic performance and personal growth in a good way, where they are motivated, seen, and

heard. This coincides with the study of Rizaldi, Fatimah, & Makhrus (2022), who states students

look more enthusiastic and active in following each stage of the learning process. The return of

pleasant learning conditions for students will increase the chances of overcoming the problem of

learning loss in students.

All students believe that re-introducing face-to-face class improved their academic

lifestyle. Majority of them said that it is much easier to communicate with their classmates as

well as their teachers. If they have questions about academics, it is easy to bring it up since they

are there with their schoolmates and teachers. Some of them said as well that they are more

productive compared to online classes. Social interactions as well make academics easier.

Distractions are not that evident in face-to-face classes according to one interviewee, because in

online class, you can easily browse and scroll in your different social media accounts, unlike in

face-to-face, your whole focus is within the class discussion.

Interpretation of Data - Figure 3.1

The students clearly demonstrate that the role of parents in the academic success of their

children is significant. The majority of the participants were motivated by their parents,

suggesting that parental involvement plays a vital role in the academic performance of students.

Furthermore, the data shows that parents provide motivation to their children not by putting

pressure on them, but by showing support and providing encouraging words. This type of

motivation is effective in motivating children to perform better academically. However, some

students also said that they are not receiving any form of motivation from their parents when it

comes to academic achievements. These students tended to be more self-driven and independent

when it came to their academic achievements. They did not feel the need to rely on external

motivation from their parents and were more likely to pursue their own interests and passions.

Grade 12 STEM students had different experiences with the impact of their parents on their

academic performance. The researchers also observed that the impacts of parental involvement

can differ among students. and may either have no impact or a significant impact on their

academic performance. Some of the students stated that they get emotional, financial, and

informational support from their parents, which encourages them to perform well in school. Most

said that the pressure they experienced came from their own sense of responsibility as

individuals to strive harder in their studies without their parents pressuring them. On the other

hand, there are some who stated that their parents’ involvement in their studies has no effect on

their academic performance, while a few said that their parents gave them personal freedom to

do their academic-related work.

Interpretation of Data - Figure 3.3

Most of the students stated that the pressure that they are feeling comes from themselves to

achieve well in school when their parents get involved in their academic performance. This

relates to the study of Laura, L., and Mahia, S. (2019). It is proven in this article that children

whose parents have low involvement have lower academic achievement. It states that parents’

involvement in school has been said to be a key factor in their children’s academic outcomes.

Most of the students who answered question no. 3 stated that they feel pressure because they

want to make their parents proud and they want to repay them for what they’ve done for them.

Other students also stated that they don’t feel pressure to achieve high marks because their

parents motivate them to do their best and to avoid failure. Some believe that pressure would

kind of hinder a student’s academic performance and that the assistance of their parents is meant

to acknowledge and help them.

CHAPTER IV

SUMMARY, CONCLUSION, RECOMMENDATION

This chapter presents the summary of the findings, conclusions of the researchers with the

study based on the results gathered from the selected participants and their recommendations to

determine the impact of the re-implementation of face-to-face classes on the academic

performance of Grade 12 students.

a. SUMMARY

The researchers conducted a study about "The Impact of the Re-implementation of

Face-to-face Classes on the Academic Performance of Grade 12 Students" with the main

objective of knowing and assessing the influences of the re-implementation of face-to-face

classes on the academic performance of Grade 12 students at Paco Catholic School after getting

used to the online class setup. The participants were interviewed virtually through their

respective Microsoft Teams accounts. The study was limited to Grade 12 STEM Students of

Paco Catholic School and a total of 15 respondents were involved in conducting the study.

The following were determined in acquiesce with the First Statement of the Problem:

1. Some of the students preferred online classes due to the availability of the internet

and ease of communication. The majority found it unproductive, boring,

uninteresting, full of distractions, lacking excitement, and affecting their

sociability.

Page 77 of 162
2. The students have experienced changes in their daily routine after returning to

in-person classes, including waking up earlier, feeling more competitive and

confident, and using notebooks instead of relying solely on technology for

note-taking.

3. Some students have maintained their routines without changes after returning to

in-person classes, while others have had to adjust their schedules to align with the

school timetable

Moreover, the following were determined in acquiesce with the Second Statement of the

Problem:

1. Students acknowledge the importance of interactive learning experiences in

traditional classroom settings, and while they may concentrate more during virtual

classes, they are more engaged and attentive in face-to-face classes due to the

eagerness to participate in group activities and communicate and collaborate with

classmates and instructors, resulting in improved comprehension and the

generation of new ideas.

2. Most students performed better in face-to-face classes compared to online

distance learning because the presence of interaction with friends, classmates, and

teachers in a real classroom provides more engaging experiences that positively

affect the students' academic performance and personal growth, leading to

increased motivation, visibility, and communication.

3. All students believe that re-introducing face-to-face classes improves their

academic lifestyle, with the majority citing easier communication with classmates

Page 78 of 162
and teachers, increased productivity, and reduced distractions compared to online

classes.

4. The majority of the students agreed that the return of face-to-face classes

positively affected their academic performance, with increased engagement in

class discussions and active participation resulting in slightly higher grades.

Lastly, the following were determined in acquiesce with the Third Statement of the

Problem:

1. Parental involvement in the academic success of students is significant, with the

majority of the students reporting that they were motivated by their parents

through supportive words and encouragement, while some were self-driven and

independent in their academic pursuits.

2. While some students are motivated and encouraged by their parents' emotional

and financial support, others prefer to be more independent and rely on their own

sense of responsibility.

3. Most of the students explained that the pressure that they are feeling comes from

themselves to achieve well in school when their parents get involved in their

academic performance.

Page 79 of 162
b. CONCLUSION

Statement of the Problem #1. Majority of the students preferred face-to-face classes

over online classes. It was found that most students found online classes unproductive,

uninteresting, and full of distractions that negatively affected their productivity, and sociability.

According to Nasution et al. (2021), whose study focuses on the student's preferred learning

modality in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic, the most preferred learning set-up was

face-to-face classes over online classes, although it was shown that there was no significant

difference in the test result of the students, there was a drastic difference in the routines of the

students when it comparing the two learning modalities. While students explained that online

classes felt lack-luster, unengaging, and boring, students were a lot more active during

face-to-face classes and provided opportunities for students to establish good cooperation

between classmates (Rizaldi, et. al., 2021b). Returning to face-to-face classes resulted in changes

to students' daily routines, including earlier wake-up times and the use of traditional note-taking

methods. Some students were able to maintain their routines, while others had to adjust to the

school timetable.

Statement of the Problem #2: Every student has their own preferred method of learning

that they want to incorporate into their studies. This study addresses the impact of reintroducing

in-person classes on the academic achievements of grade 12 students. In this study of Vasile

Gherheș et al. (2021), the beneficiaries of the educational process aim to find out their

perceptions of face-to-face and e-learning and their desire to return, or not, to the traditional form

of education. Some students find that they are more invested in traditional in-person classes, and

Page 80 of 162
they observe greater personal and social development as a result. On the other hand, there are

individuals who favor online classes because they believe they will perform better in this format.

It also shows how students feel about face-to-face and online courses in terms of social presence,

interpersonal interactions, and satisfaction. In order to examine student learning perceptions

independent of the method used to deliver the course and the online environment, a comparison

between the online group and the face-to-face group was conducted Bali, S., and Liu, M. C.

(2018). Each individual student possesses their own set of preferences. Every person has unique

preferences.

Statement of the Problem #3: Parents are present to assist or offer guidance regarding

our education. Additionally, this research examines the impact of parents on the scholastic

achievement of students. According to a study by Widodo et al. (2020), it is crucial that proper

guidance and adequate resources be provided for those confronting potential challenges adapting.

This study conveys significant implications for improving virtual educational engagements. With

the presented related literature and studies, it is clear that both face-to-face and online distance

learning have their positive and negative effects when in comparison. Having two different

modalities gives students the opportunity to have a more flexible and adaptable approach to

education. The majority of students stated that their parents provide them with support rather

than pressure. However, some students tend to impose pressure on themselves to increase their

motivation and compensate for the efforts their parents put in. Parents exert a significant

influence on their children, inspiring them to pursue their academic aspirations and attain greater

success.

Page 81 of 162
In conclusion, this study sheds light on the impact of the re-implementation of

face-to-face classes on the academic performance of Grade 12 students at Paco Catholic School.

The findings suggest that while some students preferred online classes due to the convenience,

the majority found face-to-face classes more engaging, interactive, and productive. The students

acknowledged the importance of traditional classroom settings in generating new ideas,

increasing comprehension, and boosting personal growth. Additionally, parental involvement

was reported to be a significant factor in motivating students to achieve academic success, albeit

with varying degrees of influence. The results of this study provide valuable insights into the

challenges and benefits of returning to face-to-face classes after a prolonged period of online

learning, which may inform educational policies and strategies in the future.

c. RECOMMENDATION

The study can serve as the foundation in investigating the influences and

repercussions of the re-introduction of face-to-face classes on the academic performance

of students. However, the findings of this study must be treated with caution due to the

design, sample size, collection of data technique, and setting. Our world is very uncertain,

we don’t know what could possibly happen next. This research would be very significant

to future researchers for this study can serve as their reference and as guidance in the

future if any epidemic, pandemic, or any hazards can possibly stop the traditional

face-to-face setup. Moreover, they can fill in the gaps where we, the researchers, lacked.

With everything said, the following are the recommendations of the researchers:

1. Schools should consider the full return of face-to-face classes, as the findings

suggest that students performed better academically in physical classrooms.

Page 82 of 162
2. Teachers should incorporate more interactive learning experiences, such as group

discussions and collaborative projects, to keep students engaged in their classes,

may it be online or onsite.

3. Teachers should help students struggling to adapt through the changes and to

know what style in their teaching is needed for the re-implemented modality for

the betterment of both student and educator.

4. Parents should be encouraged to get involved in their children's academic

performance by providing emotional, financial, and informational support,

without putting excessive pressure on their children.

V. APPENDIX E - CODED INTERVIEW TRANSCRIPTIONS

SOP #1: How did your habits and daily activities change when face-to-face classes were

reintroduced?

1.1 How was your life before the face-to-face modality was reimposed?

● Participant 1: “In terms of school I don't think I was able to fully focus on the

classes because of many distractions that are brought by the online learning

modality.”

● Participant 2: “I would say that I began noticing that there were so many

distractions around me like my phone.”

● Participant 3: “I was more productive back then since I was the class president

when I was in grade 11 and being an officer makes me productive.”

● Participant 4: “During the pandemic it was very linear, boring, and unhealthy for

me as a student because I spent most of my time in front of my computer

attending online classes.”

● Participant 5: “For me, online seems to be really draining and more tiring than

face-to-face since you only sit all afternoon.”

● Participant 6: “It was hard because it’s just like a cycle since it’s only online so I

can only do limited things at home.”

● Participant 7: “I had a routine where I would wake up early and attend classes in

front of my computer. However, online classes lacked activities such as laboratory

experiments that were present in face-to-face classes”.

Page 122 of 162


● Participant 8: “I could talk to like whoever I wanted, like my friends from other

sections, it would be so easy to just talk to them like you would in face-to-face

class.”

● Participant 9: “Since I was stuck in the ODL, it was very anti-social, if that's

what I can say; we didn't have any interactions with each other, and we couldn't

go.”

● Participant 10: “In terms of contacting classmates, it was different for everyone

because some preferred certain times while others did not, which caused conflicts

in scheduling..”

● Participant 11: “What I noticed was that the online classes had a routine. You

would wake up early and go in front of the computer, and then everyone would do

the same thing when the teacher started to discuss the lesson. It was different from

face-to-face classes, where there were activities such as laboratory experiments..”

● Participant 12: “We can’t avoid stress, because it is online, for me it is quite

confusing.”

● Participant 13: “For me, it was much easier because you can be able to search

online, and also it is more accessible if you have activities to do, like if you lack

the materials, you’ll be able to have your materials easily.”

● Participant 14: “With face-to-face classes you will feel motivated and at the

same time it is fun because you are with your friends physically which I didn’t get

to experience with the online class so with that I can say it was kind of lonely and

hard.”

Page 123 of 162


● Participant 15: “Personally, Because you just sit for an afternoon, online classes

are more exhausting and stressful than face-to-face.”

1.2 What do you believe happened in your study habits when the class format was

changed back to face-to-face?

● Participant 1: “I became enthusiastic about writing again because I can express

my creativity.”

● Participant 2: “I took notes online but after the reimplementation of face-to-face

classes I started using a notebook again, starting reverting back to the old ways of

learning.”

● Participant 3: “My study habits have improved since when you’re in a classroom

and it helps me be more engaged in my own studies. It also helps me be more

consistent in all of my subjects”

● Participant 4: “For me, it was much easier because you can be able to search

online, and also it is more accessible if you have activities to do, like if you lack

the materials, you’ll be able to have your materials easily.”

● Participant 5: “I felt motivated to do advanced studying in the first few days of

the school year, as I had three science subjects and one math subject. I was

hesitant to recite during online distance learning but became more eager to

participate in face-to-face classes”

● Participant 6: “Even after my short time of going face-to-face, it rekindled my

note-taking, and I actually performed better this quarter than the previous

quarter.”

Page 124 of 162


● Participant 7: “For me, I have been able to become more productive. When it

was in online, I was very lazy to do task.”

● Participant 8: “Prior to the pandemic, I believe my study habits have improved

because I can easily keep track of all my assignments and coursework.

Additionally, I don't feel as tired from commuting and attending school, as I

previously had to walk home and would often be exhausted by the time I arrived.”

● Participant 9: “It changed in a way that I became more active in class. I can talk

to my other classmates more easily unlike online where it is difficult to

communicate with the teacher since you have to raise your hand like that.”

● Participant 10: “My study habits from before are still the same until now, so I

think nothing has changed”.

● Participant 11: “For my study habits, it’s the same.”

● Participant 12: “I developed certain habits during online classes such as taking

screenshots for notes. I also found it harder to digest lessons immediately and

developed a lack of discipline.”

● Participant 13: “Maybe the change is in terms of writing notes in a notebook

since, during online classes, our notes are usually screenshots. When we went

back to face-to-face classes, it became challenging for me because I wasn't used to

writing notes anymore. Not totally, but I'm not used to taking notes anymore, so

I'm still struggling with it right now.”

● Participant 14: “The face-to-face setup was tiring and then, there was

asynchronous early in the morning. So you have to wake up early when there are

summative tests like that or there are long tests.

Page 125 of 162


● Participant 15: “I would say that I made a lot of adjustments especially when it

comes to scheduling since as a student leader, a student, a child, your tasks are

different at home, at school so the concept of returning to face-to-face is a lot of

work especially in the aspect of transportation so something has changed for

sure.”

1.3 What habits do you think were retained or changed after the re-implementation

of face-to-face classes?

● Participant 1: “What hasn’t changed is the habit of taking notes.”

● Participant 2: “I maintained the habit of using technology, particularly the

laptop, this habit has persisted due to the school's hybrid system, which still

incorporates technology. I believe that technology is essential for research and

academic work and therefore anticipates that this habit will continue.”

● Participant 3: “What I do is type notes on the PC, use MS Word or take

screenshots so that I can focus more on the lesson. In face-to-face, I become more

active, and I use my notebook now which makes it easier to recall and understand

the lessons more.”

● Participant 4: “I really like playing PC or any online games, and it's something

that I couldn't get rid of. I'm not normalizing or romanticizing it but having a

breakdown didn’t change , but it's something that helped me release the pressure

from studies and other things, especially since I'm about to graduate.”

● Participant 5: “I think maybe taking a bath is also a factor because when we are

online I take a bath after class and I barely take a bath before class so I don't know

Page 126 of 162


what to do, maybe taking a bath helps with productivity now because you take a

bath and you are more productive when listening in class.”

● Participant 6: “ It is easier to ask questions, and interact with your teachers and

classmates regarding your activities, you don’t need to wait for their reply which

would take a longer time.”

● Participant 7: “Habits that did stay where I was able to start calling with Friends

more too like group study because before the pandemic i wouldn’t usually do that

together you will study with friends. The pandemic made me use Discord and MS

Teams for academic performances and I started to implement that in my study

habits now.”

● Participant 8: “With face-to-face classes you will feel motivated and at the same

time it is fun because you are with your friends physically which I didn’t get to

experience with the online class.”

● Participant 9: “I didn't retain any habits because everything changed again when

we shifted back to face-to-face classes. Online and face-to-face are really

different, so I didn't retain any habit,”

● Participant 10: “For that, I think I retained staying at home; that’s one. But I

think what changed was the time difference between when I would wake up. I

would usually wake up at the same time as my classmates.”

● Participant 11: “I think what's being retained is the studying after class, whether

it's online or face-to-face. You still need to review the lessons you tackled today to

be prepared for tomorrow, especially for subjects that require it.”

Page 127 of 162


● Participant 12: “What has changed is my work scheduling since the schedule

changed after classes in senior high, so I needed to adjust my sleeping schedule.

Either I’ll do it when I get home or I’ll do it the next day during asynchronous

time.”

● Participant 13: “I think what really changed is my sleeping schedule because last

year class started in the morning and this year classes started in the afternoon so

because of the changes it is hard for me to wake up early for synchronous

activities.”

● Participant 14: “I feel unmotivated to study because of online tests. I started

doing advanced studying after a change but noticed that tests are still being

conducted online in the retained setup.”

● Participant 15: “After the re-implementation of face-to-face learning, I find it

more challenging to keep track of my assignments since most tasks are now

assigned through traditional learning methods instead of using the online tools

like MS Teams that we used during online learning.”

SOP #2: How did the re-implementation of face-to-face classes influence the academic

performance of Grade 12 students?

2.1 Are you more attentive and participatory in the online classes compared to the

traditional face-to-face learning? Please describe your experience.

● Participant 1:“I am more attentive in face-to-face classes”

● Participant 2:“I’m definitely more participative in the face-to-face learning”

Page 128 of 162


● Participant 3:“I am more attentive face-to-face since it is more interactive when

face-to-face.”

● Participant 4:“I am more attentive and participate a lot in face to face “

● Participant 5:“You will be able to participate more and focus more; you will be

able to give it 100% if you are in a classroom”.

● Participant 6:“I am more participatory in face to face, because online, I am

distracted with things around me, even though you feel comfortable in your place.

● Participant 7:“I believe that reciting in a face-to-face class lets me interact and

engage with classmates more effectively, making me more attentive and

participatory.”.

● Participant 8:“I think I am more attentive and participative during face-to-face

learning. And I can say that it’s much fun in face-to-face classes because there is

an actual interaction between people.”

● Participant 9:“I prefer face-to-face learning as I am more attentive and

participatory. I also feel less motivated to recite in online classes, as I see fewer

classmates participating”.

● Participant 10:“Before, during the online class, I still recited and participated

especially in group activities but it was different because in face-to-face classes,

you can interact with your teacher and classmates.”

● Participant 11:“Honestly, I am more attentive to traditional face-to-face learning

because there are so many distractions in online classes. I know I'm not the only

one experiencing this, but during online classes, there are so many temptations not

Page 129 of 162


to listen. It's different when you're in a class where your focus is on the teacher,

and I'm more eager to participate and recite.”

● Participant 12:“I find face-to-face learning to be more effective than online

learning. I feel that traditional classroom settings allow for better communication

and collaboration between students, making it easier to generate ideas and

understand teacher instructions.”.

● Participant 13:“For me, I really feel like there is more interaction happening

when you are in a face-to-face setting rather than an online setting.”

● Participant 14:“For me I am more attentive in online classes because nobody is

around me and I only focus on the screen in front of me”.

● Participant 15:“I was actually more participatory in online classes because, for

example, when it came to reciting, I would know the concept and answer but

might forget a term or phrase. It's easier to search for these things during online

classes, so I didn't suffer as much from stage fright.”

2.2 Where do you think you excelled more on the online learning modality or

face-to-face? How do you say so?

● Participant 1:“It's face-to-face for me because as a competitive person, I am

more motivated when I have someone to study with, someone to share the stress

with, and someone to make me feel that I am not alone.”

● Participant 2:“ I think I improved more academically face-to-face. That is where

I ‘bloomed’ and I was able to use the old methods of learning like doing

experiments and being able to collaborate with your classmates physically.”

Page 130 of 162


● Participant 3:“I excelled more in face to face. There is no distraction in face to

face, and you are able to think and your brain can function more because you are

present there”

● Participant 4:“Face to face, because you are focused in your studies, in your

lessons, and the lecture. “

● Participant 5: “Face-to-face classes were more challenging, I think I excelled

more in them overall, including grades, recitations, performance, and

participation. Therefore, I believe that face-to-face classes are better than online

classes”.

● Participant 6: “I prefer face to face learning over online learning. I prefer face to

face tests because they are clearer, and I can use the effort I put into studying to

pass them. I believe that I can excel better in face-to-face learning because I can

feel more of the student experience.”

● Participant 7:“I'm trying my best to change the habits I developed during online

classes to be better in face-to-face classes. I can say it's effective because when I

transitioned to face-to-face, there was change in my grades.”

● Participant 8:“I would say that I excel more in online ‘cause it was so easy. The

fact that you have everything like the internet and technology and it makes it so

much easier and definitely comfortable when it’s online.”

● Participant 9:“I feel like I excel more online because before the online learning

set up, I never really got to achieve an honor reward and when the online modality

was implemented I started to achieve honor rewards”.

Page 131 of 162


● Participant 10:“For me, I think I excelled more in this online learning, but it was

only because of the reminders on the assignments tab. I think it would enhance

things like studying and grades more because using just one medium for learning,

just like speaking it out verbally, doesn't really get absorbed as much by students.”

● Participant 11:“I excelled way more in the online learning modality because it

was way more conducive to my learning style. In traditional face-to-face classes, I

often feel rushed and unable to fully grasp the lesson. With online classes, I can

take my time to understand and research details that I may have missed or need

clarification on. I appreciate the flexibility and autonomy that online learning

provides.”

● Participant 12:“I frequently experience rushing through and failing to fully

absorb what is being taught in traditional face-to-face classes. On the other hand,

with online classes I fully understand concepts and look up information I might

have missed or that I need to be more certain about. “

● Participant 13:“Face-to-face because you are more encouraged to study and you

are more motivated since you have your classmates around you then you have

your teacher in front of you who you can easily talk to if you have questions.”

● Participant 14:“I’d say online classes since I'm more aware of my

responsibilities and I’d be able to tasks in my own pace”

● Participant 15:“I am more attentive and participative face-to-face so I can feel

my engagement as a student more since I am more vocal. I interact with my

fellow students and I think I excelled more face-to-face, in terms of grades

maybe.”

Page 132 of 162


2.3 Do you believe that reintroducing face-to-face interactions will improve your

academic lifestyle?

● Participant 1:“Yes, because based on studies, interaction with other people gives

you growth and wisdom. If you interact with other people, you will see your

perspective in life to those who you interact with, and in some way you appreciate

your life because it will allow you to see how lucky you are in life.”

● Participant 2: “I definitely think that face-to-face interaction improved my

academic lifestyle both socially and academically. I got to know my classmates

more and the fact that I got to know my classmates more, the people who you

collaborate and study with together, the level of my education is getting higher”

● Participant 3: “Yes, since before the pandemic, our usual class, I was not that

productive. Now, I am more productive so I feel like it's better now face-to-face

again”

● Participant 4: “Yes, since it's such a different feeling when actually going

face-to-face rather than going online because you engage so much more and you

feel the words from your teacher actually affects you and it makes me atleast want

to be more responsible and participative in the lessons that they teach.”

● Participant 5: “I think you will really improve face-to-face because as we all

know when we get a job, social interaction is needed which can be applied

face-to-face so I really think that reintroducing face-to-face will really improve

our academic lifestyle”.

Page 133 of 162


● Participant 6: “It boosts me because we have someone beside us, we are not

alone in our own rooms, you are able to see and talk to your classmates if you

have questions and queries. That’s why for me, it boosts my performance”.

● Participant 7: “Yes of course, because it helped me a lot.”

● Participant 8: “I believe that transitioning from online to face-to-face will

improve the experience compared to online, but for me personally, it just returns

to normal. But in the context of that question, yes, it will definitely improve”.

● Participant 9: “I think somehow, it can improve my academic lifestyle since you

are not limited in what you can do anymore and you are engaged and you have

this sense of being inside the school again and it’s really different with just being

online and then you will see your friends too.”

● Participant 10: “Yes, face-to-face learning is preferable for improving academic

performance and socializing with peers, compared to online learning. Traditional

in-person classes are what people are accustomed to, and that being physically

present with classmates fosters more opportunities for social interaction and

collaboration beyond just academic discussions”.

● Participant 11: “Yes, because just like I said earlier, you become more active and

get more into the lessons. You become more hands on with the activities and

because before the pandemic we seem to be used to group activities with

classmates then when gone online it seems like it’s just different because

everybody has their own thing and it doesn't really become more hands on

because we’re always more on the internet.”

Page 134 of 162


● Participant 12: “Face-to-Face interaction is important for mental health and

academic success, and relying too much on technology can be harmful. Limited

online interactions are not enough, and it is important to balance academic and

social activities. The importance of having a circle of friends who can provide

support, motivation, and help in improving academic performance”.

● Participant 13: “Definitely, I think that face-to-face is better than an online setup

because you don't really get to talk to people. It kind of feels lonely and puts a toll

on their mental health. So I think having face-to-face interaction, like connecting

with your teacher and bonding with your classmates, is absolutely important. It's

kind of the key to academics and your overall school life, because if you don't

have that, it's like you're losing part of your developmental phase.”

● Participant 14: “Of course, yes, I believe that face-to-face learning is still the

best because online classes are quite challenging for those who are not privileged

like us. With online classes, you need internet access and gadgets, so those who

cannot afford them cannot focus on online classes and cannot keep up with the

lessons.”

● Participant 15: “For me personally, no. One of the reasons I chose to stay in

online classes is because traditional face-to-face classes take so much energy from

me. I'm a very kinesthetic person, and I need to be moving around or doing

something else, like multitasking. I have a very active lifestyle, and online classes

allow me to have more flexibility with my schedule while still being able to focus

on my studies.”

Page 135 of 162


2.4 Does the return of face-to-face classes to our institution affect your academic

performance?

● Participant 1: “Yes, because to be honest with you I am a transferee student and I

was really culture shocked because the difference is really significant when you

compare my old school to PCS”

● Participant 2: “I can say that it did, when the time of face-to-face came around i

actually started joining contest again in any given moment and i started become

more academically competitive “

● Participant 3: “Yes, because since the pandemic has started, we are more into

gadgets and devices. Though, it makes our life easier because we are able to type

it easily, it is much greater if we do our assignments while we are writing it with

our own hands”.

● Participant 4: “Yes, it affected my academic performance in a positive way;, I

have gained more knowledge in face to face”.

● Participant 5: “While my grades and exam scores slightly decreased during

online classes due to the ease of taking notes, my overall academic performance

improved when they returned to face-to-face classes because I was more engaged

in participating and performing well”.

● Participant 6: “Yes, for sure. The return of face-to-face affected my academic

performance. I think both negative and positive may introduce me to that effect.”

● Participant 7: “Yes, it affected me in a positive way. My relationship with my

classmates improved, and I got to know them better compared to when I was in

grade 11. Having a good relationship with your classmates also affects your

Page 136 of 162


academic performance, so I became more active in group work and in the

classroom”.

● Participant 8: “Yes, maybe. I have excelled more now than before for the past

two years. My academic performance became better. I became more participative

and it's the same but I excelled more now in terms of participation then in grades,

I become hands on in activities unlike before where it was a bit boring to do

leader stuff in groupings because in online classes, there are others who don't

respond through online, in chats than now when you see them face to face and

you can talk to them more.”

● Participant 9: “The return of face-to-face classes at Paco Catholic School has

been beneficial for me due to increased interaction with my classmates and the

school's focus on academic competitiveness. The school measures academic

performance through tasks such as thesis, allowing for a comparison between

online and face to face classes. I personally prefer face to face classes and have

seen an improvement in my grades since returning to in-person learning.”

● Participant 10: “Yes, because they implemented the blended learning style, so

some of my classmates are face-to-face, and I myself am stuck in the online

set-up, and whenever I try to recite, it always feels like you're on the other side of

the world, and I think it affects my academic performance.”

● Participant 11: “In terms of academic performance, I think it's about

self-discipline. Before, I didn't need to prepare early, but now that I have to

physically go to school, I need to prepare a lot of things beforehand. When I was

Page 137 of 162


just at home, everything was easily accessible. So, I think I need to be more

responsible when it comes to academics.”

● Participant 12: “Face-to-Face classes have a different impact than online classes

as the engagement and the impact of the teacher's words are felt more strongly. I

feel more responsible and participative in the lessons during face-to-face classes.”

● Participant 13: “Going back to face-to-face classes after two years of online

learning might be difficult for some students who have become used to the

computer. However, I believe that with time, students will be able to adapt.”

● Participant 14: “No, because I’m still in the online class setup.”

● Participant 15: “I think it won’t because my study habits really changed when

the online set up was introduced, so I think it won’t change and my only goal is to

prepare for face-to-face and to know what I need to do in order to be more

effective in face-to-face so I think it won’t change a bit and my only goal is to

improve.

SOP #3: What particular aspects of parental involvement have a significant influence on

the academic performance of Grade 12 students?

3.1 How do your parents motivate you to achieve academic success without

overlooking your individual interests and passions?

● Participant 1: “To be honest, they do not motivate me because they let me do

what I love and overall they know that my track is not STEM. My true passion is

in Arts and Design and before I enrolled in PCS I had enrolled in a school, I have

a section there already and I have established a connection between me and my

adviser there. What’s important for them is that I know how to balance my

Page 138 of 162


academics and my passion: I dance, I organize, I put my talents up for

commisions. They do not interfere with my life because they let me pave my own

path in life, but they always remind me to put my studies first before anything else

because I know it is for my own benefit.”

● Participant 2: My parents are not really pushy,of course they ask me from time

to time how was school doing but mostly it was in my own interest to study well,

in terms of passion actually i was more inclined to arts but i also think that

personally I'd rather take jobs that require less arts and more on logical thinking

since I was told before that, actually they say that don’t waste your intellect that

was what they said directly but i took that as, I kinda agree that i can be creative

but I wasn’t able to do my best on my own terms, I’ll do my best on my own

terms and less of they will.”

● Participant 3: “They let me do my thing, they give me the freedom to choose

what we want to do in life, and they are not giving me pressure in achieving high

grades, because they are not the ones who will choose the things that is for me, so

they let me do my thing.”

● Participant 4: “This pandemic, my mother and I are working and studying

online, though I am not used to my mother is at home always, but when I am

down, she will stop whatever she is doing, she will be there to support me and tell

me that I can do it. She will say something comforting everytime you need it.”

● Participant 5: “For an early age, my parents they took time to be strict with me

while I'm from like grade 1 to like about grade four but after that they just kind of

let me alone to do my own work and I find myself enjoying the competitive spirit

Page 139 of 162


when it comes to having academics. So I pushed myself more rather than my

parents, my parents are just there to like congratulate me when it comes to like

“oh you got a nice score on your test” or “you got a good score in your card” but

when it comes to like motivations of how to like take notes, or they don't really

remind me much but they are very supportive no matter what happens they

always try to accept me no questions asked there.”

● Participant 6: “My parents are very supportive of what I want, actually, they

tend to follow my desires in terms of academics rather than their own. For them, I

won't be motivated if I don't like what I'm doing, so they're not pressuring me.

They just look for what I'm capable of and if I can't do it, it's fine with them.

Though, I'm the one giving pressure to myself because I know I can do such

things that I thought I couldn't, so the pressure is just within myself, and my

parents are supportive.”

● Participant 7: “They’re very supportive of both and they don't really ask to see

my card anymore because they trust me now which is also a new feeling with

grades they’re not always like “uy mikan nasaan yung card mo, ganito ganyan ano

score mo sa test” because i don't do on our exam so when my exam grades were

bad, they asked that why are your grades so low but right now they see my cards

even if my grades is forty or fourty one over sixty i still passed so i’ve reassured

them enough that they trust me and they don't really mind me like just doing my

own thing even if like during class right sometimes my head hurts so i just like lay

down or yeah i just lay down and they don't really care anymore and they’re very

also supportive of my interest and passions they like when i want something new

Page 140 of 162


or like for example i want to join taekwondo they would go the extra mile of like

searching around our area because we just moved here right they went the extra

mile of like looking for of an taekwondo here in cavite imus for me which i really

appreciate so how do your parents motivate you to achieve academic success it

comes to the point that they don’t need to because they trust me and they know

the best way to motivate my academic to achieve my academic success is to

support my individual interest in passions because that’s really what keeps me

going again that’s it that’s the answer sorry I talk about”

● Participant 8: “When my parents look at my report card, they don't say much

except that I'm perfect or doing well. But I know deep inside they are happy and

proud of me. The way they motivate me is by saying things like "You can do it,

you can achieve honors." They motivate me without getting too much involved in

my personal interests. They keep themselves focused on my grades. As my dad

said, they support what I want to do, but when it comes to changing my interests,

they don't say anything. They support me in that way, which motivates me to

succeed academically without neglecting my individual passions and interests.”

● Participant 9: “Maybe they're just supportive, for example, if I need

something even if it's late or at night, they'll still look for it so they're very

supportive. In terms of individual interests and passions, they're also

supportive of what I want, although sometimes they suggest, "Hey, try

doing this." But at the end of the day, the choice is still mine. As a

graduating student, I was able to apply to universities and choose my

Page 141 of 162


course, and they were not a factor in my choice of course. They are also

supportive when it comes to entrance exams, so if it's a morning exam, they

wake up early, cook breakfast, and buy what I need, so that's it.”

● Participant 10: “Actually, regarding my academic success, it's okay with them

whatever the result of my grades is, as long as I pass, it's okay with them. But in

my case, I am the one pushing and striving harder for myself because I will be the

one to benefit from it in the future. If I start now by giving importance to my

grades and academic performance, it will be a great help for me in college,

especially in college applications where grades are also considered in the

selection process. Without overlooking my individual interests and passions, I

first focus on my nearest target, which is to get into college, and start improving

my grades and my academic routine. When I reach college, that's when I can test

myself if I'm really good or not. In addition, my parents motivate me by just

telling me to do my best, and as long as I am doing my best, they accept the

result.”

● Participant 11: “The motivation that my parents give me is that they always

provide me words of wisdom they say to me that “It’s not important to have high

grades as long as you are passing and we know that you are studying well” my

mother also reminds me not to let the work of my father go to waste because he is

still working despite of his age and those are the things that motivates me to study

harder and those are the motivations my parents always tell me. No because as

long as I can balance doing those things and doing my part as a student and as a

teenager it is okay for them because being a teenager isn’t just about studying, we

Page 142 of 162


need to have fun and continue doing our hobbies and my parents also reminds me

to not just study but to have fun sometimes.”

● Participant 12: “As for me, they don't really look at the academic performance,

they just say, what I need is what they seem to have done, which is how are you,

then it's like "Just do your best" without the pressure, it's like "Do your best. Have

fun" like that and "Enjoy yourself.”

● Participant 13: “As for my parents, since they are not the “You have to attain

this, you have to attain that”, more on the way they motivate me is through

rewarding, so even if it is not material or material; Let’s say, I’m more into KPOP

so they’ll motivate me more, for example let’s say there’s a concert, “Can I buy

something? So I’m the one who gets motivated when they give me rewarding

things and sometimes since my mom has a habit of really talking to us like that,

the words “You can do it”, “I’m just here, if you ever need help”, are

encouraging.”

● Participant 14: My parents have encouraged me to prioritize myself and choose

my own path in life, without putting too much pressure on me. My parents have

served as a source of motivation by working hard and sacrificing their time to take

care of our family.

● Participant 15: “My parents do not show excessive involvement in my personal

interests but are highly supportive of my academic success. They motivate me by

emphasizing my abilities to achieve academic honors without pressuring me to

pursue specific career paths or hobbies. I appreciate my parents' support and feel

Page 143 of 162


motivated to succeed academically while pursuing my individual passions and

interests”

3.2 Do you believe your parents have had an impact on your academics, particularly

now that we have returned to the face-to-face format?

● Participant 1: “The influence and impact they have on my academics is

immeasurable because they gave me the standard because before I was frequently

compared to other people and as a competitive person…actually my

competitiveness was a result of their influence on me because I don’t want to hear

those words of comparison coming from them. So, I had to excel and work

tirelessly up to the point that I met their standard and made them proud. But even

though I met their standard, I, myself, did not want to let go of that high approval

because I know that if I give up that high caliber of academic excellence, I will

neglect my studies. I am grateful for them for giving me high standards to reach

because they are the reason why my grades are high right now.”

● Participant 2: “Actually mostly no, but what impact that I could think of whether

face-to-face or online is of course I wanted to make a better future for myself so I

can’t really say that they are most impactful because we're both a mutual goal of

habit bringing the bright future for me.”

● Participant 3: “Actually they have a big impact, because they are parents,

whatever they say, whatever they do, whatever the decisions they made for

themselves, are affecting me as well because of course, I am their daughter. I am

very much affected, because as I have said, I am a daughter, every decision that

Page 144 of 162


they make has effect on me. But it is depending on each and every student, on

how they are going to handle the situation.”

● Participant 4: : “I can’t answer it with yes or no, because my mother, her

message for me all the time is, “do your best at all times, go with the flow, go

with what is great for you”. There is no pressure that I am receiving from her.”

● Participant 5: “As I said, I was not changed to the face-to-face format, but my

parents have been more lenient with me when it comes to my academics right

now,just as I said earlier they allow me to do my own thing and thankfully I have

the drive to actually do stuff cause if I didn’t i’d probably fail like right now and

i'll be sleeping in classes but I don't think that's much applicable to me. But when

it comes to their influence on my academic performance, they're just more

relaxed. Of course, trust is like one of the key things because if you cannot trust

your child to like just do their own thing, and like do what they do best they will

always try find that validation somewhere else. And it will really affect their

mental health and it won't be as good for their development I guess, because if

you don't trust someone like they just hide it from you, the truth from you, just as

the people say “like the more you struggle someone the more they want to get

free” like they want to be free from you. So, trust is the a key aspect of learning.”

● Participant 6: “Yes, their influence on my academic performance is that they are

supportive, which motivates me to study well. They don't require me to repay

their efforts, but there is something in me that wants to study hard so I can give

back even just a little of what they have sacrificed for me. So their support

influences my academic performance, and it motivates me to do my best.”

Page 145 of 162


● Participant 7: “I don't know if they started caring less about my grades because

of I don't think them caring about my grades or my academic performance is tide

to my learning modality so i dont have really an answer here”

● Participant 8: “I'll pick a because when I transitioned from online to face-to-face

classes. Suddenly, my parents decided to buy a bag and a uniform, so they told me

to be more thrifty because I only have one uniform that I wear every day and they

have to wash it daily. They really tried to make my face-to-face experience

normal again, even though their income was not yet stable due to the harsh

lockdowns. Even though their payday wasn't that high, they tried their best to

provide for my needs when it came to face-to-face classes. They saw that there

were more expenses for face-to-face classes, such as recollection and graduation

ball. But as I said before, they still tried their best to accommodate everything.

Witnessing their efforts inspired me to try my best and show them that their hard

work was worth it in making my face-to-face experience as smooth as it used to

be. For me personally, this is just a hot take but it doesn't really matter if they trust

me to do well on my own or not. It does affect me a little bit, though. If they trust

me, then that's good because I have more freedom to do whatever I want. Even if

I stay up late or go to bed early, they won't question me because they have trust

that I'm doing my best. So, there's not much pressure or conflict. And if they don't

trust me, it can affect me a little bit but I can find my way to convince them, so for

me, their trust does have an effect but it's very minimal.”

● Participant 9: “Yes, they have an impact on me. Since we are having

face-to-face classes, my parents have started giving me an allowance again, so my

Page 146 of 162


dad always tells me to study hard because the allowance is not that easy to get. I

understand that he just wants me to do well in school, and it serves as my

motivation to pursue my studies and make my parents proud. I want to give back

to them for all their hard work and also my tuition fees. Not really, ay….Yes

because they trust me so even if I don't ask for permission as long as I come home

safely and tell them where I came from, in terms of academics like having a group

work, I go to my classmate's house without worrying that they might look for me

or scold me because I know that they trust me.”

● Participant 10: “Yes, they have an impact on my academics since they are also

one of my inspirations to strive harder since they are the ones who provide for my

education, and the only thing I can do to repay them is to study hard since my

capacity to help them is limited to assisting with household chores. Their

influence on me is significant, and they inspire me to do better since if I don't care

about my parents, why should I care about my academics, right? So, they have a

huge impact on my academic performance, and they also help me strive harder.

They are also one of my motivations to study well.”

● Participant 11: “Yes, my parents have an impact because I study not just for

myself and they are my motivation because I plan once I get a job I will focus on

them first and they make a huge impact on my academic performance.”

● Participant 12: “Right now, there are no changes in how they treat me unlike

before in the online class, only that there are allowances again and there are no

certain impacts on academics.”

Page 147 of 162


● Participant 13: “Yes, I believe that my parents have an impact on the transition

to F2F since in a practical sense, they also provide an allowance; transportation

and the emotional and mental wellness like I said earlier, like there are times

when you feel not going to F2F like "Can I just go ODL today?" like that, but my

parents will encourage that if you really want to do ODL, it's okay. There are

times when you are down like that, and they also persuade me sometimes that

"You should still go to face-to-face because it’s your last year in PCS. You should

make the most out of it.”

● Participant 14: “I believe that my family's support has had a positive impact on

my academic performance, even during the pandemic. Despite concerns over the

pandemic, my family provides support and encouragement for their academic

pursuits, regardless of the outcome.”

● Participant 15: “My parents motivate me by not putting pressure on me to

achieve academic excellence, allowing me to set my own goals and work towards

them without feeling overwhelmed. I feel proud to have the support of my

parents, who accept whatever level of achievement I was able to attain.”

3.3 Do you feel pressured to achieve well in school when your parents assist you?

● Participant 1: “Without their assistance, I still feel pressured because I still don't

know what to do in my life. Anything they say I still follow; because if I do not

do anything then my time is wasted, and of course I do not want to just stand by

the side. But if we go back in time to when I was still in the first grade, I still feel

pressured because then one mistake equates to a slap on my forehead. I still feel

Page 148 of 162


pressured because if I do not want to get hurt, I must answer correctly. And even

when I was young my parents often compared me to my cousins who were

overachievers. The pressure continues to boil up to the present, even if they only

assist me financially today. I feel like I have to pay them what I owe like my

shelter, food, and education through my academics. But this last scenario will be

the most relatable to everyone: their fear of me not being able to attain my dreams

in life and become successful. That is all, thank you.”

● Participant 2: “Now that you say that, actually they really do help because my

dad is a professor of grade 12 in Benilde and Masters in marketing so sometimes

if i have questions regarding the topic that has relation to research and marketing

he is the one i approached because obviously he was more expert and have

knowledge regarding to that, So it really help me because directly he knows what

to do of course not the direct answer that i will ask but more on guidance

especially in performance task. I’m not really pressured even knowing that he is a

college professor. Whatever I gain on my own terms I think I'll be able to accept

that and I think that I will be able to accept it so it’s a win-win for both of us.”

● Participant 3: “No, for me I don’t feel pressured, because they have trust on me,

they have trust on what I can do, and they never judge my grades that I can give,

because what my grades are only just like that, so yeah. No, not at all, because I

never let them down, I always make them proud, even though I have other

activities, especially now in the church, and volleyball, and all.”

● Participant 4: “For me no, because my mother, even though you have

achievement or not, it’s okay for her. As long as your grades are passing. Even

Page 149 of 162


though you don’t have awards, its okay. But she’s telling me that, its better

ofcourse if you have awards, but if none, no worries as well.”

● Participant 5: “For me, Yes, I do feel the pressure to achieve well in school

because despite what I sell about my parents being lenient with me, when it

comes to academics it has been like its more of an internalize pressure for me, I

don't like being left behind when it comes to academics, and I don't like being

compared to others as like lower. So I guess it's more of an ego thing so I dont

think that’s much a good idea for other students who pursue but i think it's good to

have healthy competition because without healthy competition there wouldn't be

people who will strive for success. So a bit of pressure is good from parents but

too much will just make them more of a people pleaser. Honestly, it doesn't look

well on anyone.”

● Participant 6: “I think the pressure is just from myself. When they assist me,

they don't pressure me, but I put pressure on myself, thinking that they helped me,

so I need to do my best to not disappoint them. I need to do my best to somehow

repay what they have done for me. So, it's not my parents who pressure me, but

it's just myself, not in a bad way, but in a good way.”

● Participant 7: “I wouldn’t say pressure if people help me in like a creative

criticism it doesn't pressure me to do well i mean of course there some pressure

well oh i can’t but mostly it motivates me to do better because i know this is like a

safe space to try you know to try different things to find my own way of doing

things so if my parents assist me in a supportive way which they already do i don't

feel pressure at all like i'm more motivated to keep my grades up to keep you

know maintaining it because they gave me so much this is like the list i could give

right.”

● Participant 8: “Yes, I do feel pressure when they help me because I feel like I

am lacking and every move I make is being judged by them. And when they do

help me and the outcome is not good, I feel like they helped me for nothing and it

makes me feel bad. So in a way, this pressure and expectation negatively affect

me.”

● Participant 9: “It's not pressure, more like motivation because my parents are

not strict with me like "hey, you need to be perfect or else" and they just tell me to

do my best and not to fail, but it's up to me if I want to achieve it because it's

already in my conscience. Since my parents worked hard to enroll me in a private

school like Paco Catholic School which is private school, there's no pressure.”

● Participant 10: “No, I don't feel pressure from my parents, but sometimes I feel

pressure from myself, like what my answer will be, the "no," right? Because my

parents are not the ones pressuring me, it's me, is that correct? Actually, they don't

assist me, so no, they don't pressure me. Why? Because I am the one pressuring

myself in the first place. My parents don't feel any pressure because it's okay for

them whatever the result of my grades will be. But sometimes, we can't hide the

fact that we want to be competitive when it comes to grades. We want to excel, so

we're doing our best for ourselves because academic validation is important. For

me, I don't want to fall behind, so I'm doing my best, which is just an additional

benefit for my parents to see me getting high grades.”

● Participant 11: “I feel pressure when they assist me but they don’t pressure me

verbally because I only want to make them proud because I’ve been excelling

throughout this school year so why not continue it until the end that is the only

time I feel pressure and not when they assist me and my achievements are the

only thing that pressures me not my parents.”

● Participant 12: “For me, no. They didn't pressure me in some stuff like when I

said earlier that "Do your best. Enjoy" and as long as they support me, I feel

determined and everything.”

● Participant 13: “Somehow, I am also under pressure since of course, I have to

give back all the things they have done and given to me. They don’t ask me to

achieve well but, in my perspective, this is the way I can give back to them

through my achievements in school. I don’t need to say that I need to be an honor

student because I think just letting them know that I’m learning in school, it’s

already a big thing of my way of giving back.”

● Participant 14: “ I do not feel pressure or nervousness when my parents assist

me. Instead, I feel motivated to succeed and repay my parents' support. I believe

that feeling pressured or nervous would hinder my performance and that my

parents' assistance is meant to acknowledge and help me”

● Participant 15: “While my parents were aware of my goals, they did not exert

pressure on me and allowed me to pursue my interests”
