Chapter I
A. Introduction
The COVID-19 pandemic has brought changes not only in
our country, but to the whole world. And one thing that was
affected the most is the education system. Almost instantly
after the government put the whole world on lockdown,
schools in the Philippines were forced to close their doors
and end the school year because of the virus threat.
But even with the pandemic threat, the Department of
Education found ways to still continue the learning of the
students. They came up with two ideas, online learning in
which you would need a good internet because you will be
learning via a Zoom meeting or through the Google Meet
application. And the other alternative way will be the
modular learning wherein you will be given printed hand-outs
to be picked-up in the school or to be delivered at your
home and you will submit it after a week. For three years,
those were the choices for the students to learn amidst the
pandemic.
But in the year Twenty Twenty-two (2022), hope was seen
by the students as according to statista.com, one hundred
and seventy-nine (179) people out of two hundred (200)

people in the Philippines are already fully vaccinated which
is almost 89 point five percent (89.5%), and with the COVID-
19 cases slowly decreases, the Department of Education
announced that by the second day of November, face-to-face
classes can be carried out with the safety protocols in
place.
For Saint Rose of Lima Catholic School, they’ve been
carrying out face-to-face classes since August but there are
two sets for one section so the social distancing protocol
will still be observed. But after months of thorough
planning and with the go signal of the IATF, the sets per
section were abolished and full face-to-face classes sailed
away.
Some students consider face-to-face learning as the
best way to learn the topics of the subjects. According to
headspace.org, face-to-face is a really effective way to
learn knowledge because it often combines different ways of
learning including writing, reading, discussion,
presentations, projects and group work. And as firm
believers of facts, the researchers of Saint Rose of Lima
Catholic School, Inc. conducted a research about the
“Advantages of Face-to-Face Classes to the students of 11-
HUMSS in SRLCSI.”
For the first part of this research, the researchers
stated the purposes of this research and it’s benefits to
the society. And to further solidify the research, the
researchers conducted an interview to know what are opinions
of students in this topic. In the last part, the researchers
showed the result of the interviews to know the results of
the conducted research.

Review of Related Literature
This part contains academic and professional readings
involving the advantages of face-to-face classes. The
literature and studies attached to this research also
provides more insight with the motive to increase the
reader’s knowledge, especially those included in the
Importance of the Study. There are also components that can
contribute to this timely issue, particulary in the
advantages of face-to-face classes.
A. Related Literature
According to benchpartner.com, you’ll be able to
concentrate on your learning because there’ll be less
distraction than if you were at home. This is evident in the
modular set-up because students were distracted because they
are being told to do house chores while they are studying.
Another benefit is that you can gain greater
understanding, stories and real-world examples from teachers
and other students. (headspace.org.au)

Because of the possibility to interact immediately and
spontaneously, face-to-face classes interactions are more
likely to be successful because it provides instant feedback
and teachers can immediately view how the students
understand their lessons and make adjustments accordingly.
(topadvantagesof.com)
It also allows better communication, especially if
things become difficult. People are more comfortable
communicating in person because they are one step closer to
each other. (topadvantagesof.com)
Another benefit of face-to-face classes is when
engaging in real-time with the teacher and other students,
you will be improving your language and communication skills
for your future career, but also for your personal life.

B. Related Studies
Last year, the Cornell psychology research finds that
sitting face-to-face enhances learning and innovation. They
conducted an experiment with children and adults to solve a
complex visual and spatial problem which is opening a puzzle
box and the results showed that they solved the puzzle more
quickly after they watched a model demonstrate a solution

face-to-face, rather than the others who observed from next
to or perpendicular to the model. It also stated that test
subjects performed better when they could observe not only
an instructor’s hands but also their eyes, gaze and facial
movements.
According to the College of Arts and

Technology (2022), there are certain
advantages
of learning in a classroom such as
better comfort is being felt while
learning in a classroom
setup. The environment is familiar and
therefore, comforting. It is also said
that students can
understand better from ‘real world’
examples and stories from classmates
and teachers and
with this, students have the
opportunity to learn from other
students as well. This helps build
camaraderie, and in turn, have better

connections with people from different
backgrounds. It
is also known that students can
concentrate better in a classroom
because of lesser
distractions and lastly it promotes
collaboration with others easily
because not all school
work is done individually.

Standford researchers also found out that face-to-face
learning is much better compared to online learning because
“in-person communications make our brains happier”. In a
typical class in a campus, teachers are able to strategize
in terms of their lessons because it is least likely that
they need to still compress their lessons to fit in their
modules. A student who can meet and directly communicate
with a real teacher turns out to be more enthusiastic
compared to reading a pile of modules during modular
classes. Because of this, students can develop more and feel
more comfortable interacting with others while learning from
each other in a classroom setup.
Lastly, the students are better able to concentrate
harder on their learning because it provides a greater
chance of completing the lessons successfully by doing it in
a classroom situation because of a guidance of teachers and
even classmates as students can freely communicate with
their teachers and be given immediate feedback. (Du, 2021)
