INTRODUCTION
supporting the learning experiences of TVL students. This qualitative research study,
conducted by senior high school ICT students at Luis Y. Ferrer Jr. Senior High
School in the Philippines, aims to explore the perceptions of TVL students towards
the use of LMS and contribute to the development of effective strategies for
systems.
efficiently, provide feedback effectively, and communicate easily with their learners.
Previous research has identified several factors influencing the use of LMS
applications, such as Google Classroom. Muries and Masele (2017), Kumar et al.
(2020), and Aliazas and Panergayo (2021) found that usefulness and easiness were

the main factors influencing the use of Google Classroom from the perspectives of
students and instructors. However, students raised concerns about privacy issues,
peer interaction, and interface design, while instructors cited challenges in accessing
GC learning analytics and cloud storage. Alim et al. (2019) concluded in their study

smartphone access, internet connectivity issues, and inadequate mobile data plans
By considering these previous studies, this research aims to contribute to the existing
knowledge by exploring the perceptions of TVL students towards the use of LMS,
Theoretical Framework
Davis et al. (1989) defines perceived usefulness as "the degree to which an individual
believes that using a particular system would enhance his or her job performance.”
Perceived ease of use is defined as "the degree to which an individual believes that
using a particular system would be free of physical and mental effort.” (Davis et al.
1989)
TAM suggests that students' perception of the usefulness and ease of use of LMS
influences their acceptance of the technology. This study examines TVL students'
perceptions of how LMS enhances their learning experience and vocational skills, as
well as their comfort with using the system, clarity of instructions, and ease of
accessing resources within LMS.

the influence of lecturers' role and the design of the learning portal on students' usage
of the POLCA learning portal. They emphasized the importance of computer skills,
lecturers' active involvement, and the ease of access and navigation in facilitating
student engagement. The research also revealed a positive relationship between
lecturers' role, access to POLCA, and students' attitudes toward using the portal.
Synthesis
The studies analyzed in our research provide valuable insights into TVL students'
perception and usage of Learning Management Systems (LMS) like Google
Classroom. Ayub et al. (2010) emphasizes the role of lecturers and the design of the
LMS in encouraging students' engagement. Muries and Masele (2017) highlight the
importance of perceived usefulness, ease of use, and organizational support in
promoting consistent LMS usage. Shaharanee et al. (2017) and Santos’ (2021) study
focuses on students' varying levels of engagement, preference for specific features,
and the convenience and efficiency of online submission systems. Aliazas and
Panergayo (2021) emphasize the influence of perceived usefulness, ease of use, and
online learning self-efficacy on students' acceptance of LMS. Tseng (2020) suggests
that effective implementation and the integration of interactive elements can enhance
students' perception and engagement with LMS.
However, there are also contrasting ideas among the studies. Shaharanee et al. (2017)
and Santos (2021) highlight that not all students utilize all the features of LMS,
indicating varying levels of engagement and preferences for specific functionalities.
Furthermore, Santos (2021) points out the hindrance of internet connectivity on
LYFJSHS |Practical Research 2|Qualitative Research 12
consistent LMS usage, which can impact TVL students' experience with online
learning platforms.
In conclusion, these studies provide valuable insights into TVL students' perception
and usage of LMS, emphasizing the importance of factors such as perceived
usefulness, ease of use, lecturer support, and organizational management. They
suggest the need for user-friendly interfaces, efficient administrative tasks,
interactive platforms, and consideration of students' specific needs and preferences.
Addressing challenges related to feature adoption and internet connectivity is
essential for successful integration of LMS into TVL vocational training programs.
RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
Research Design
This study uses the case study for this qualitative research that we utilize to initiate
our work. According to Yin et al. (2018), case study is a type of research design in
which defines an intensive study about a person or a unit, which is aimed to
generalize over several units. To clarify, case study focuses on qualitative data using
methods like interviews, observations, and analysis of sources. We use case study for
this qualitative research to investigate the perception of TVL students from Luis Y.
Ferrer Jr. Senior High School on Learning Management System (LMS).
Sampling Technique
In our study, the Convenience Sampling Method was employed to select participants
for the interviews. According to Nikopoulou (2022) and Stratton (2021),
convenience sampling is a non-probability sampling method where units are chosen
based on their accessibility to the researcher. Stratton (2021) highlights that
convenience sampling is influenced by participants' motivation to engage in the
research which could introduce motivation bias, as their motivation to engage in the
study varies based on their interest in the research topic, a desire to express a
particular viewpoint, or support for specific opinions. Convenience sampling is
LYFJSHS |Practical Research 2|Qualitative Research 13
Ethical Consideration
The researchers ensure the privacy of every participant that participates in the
interview will be kept hidden in the eye of the public, in accordance to Republic Act
No. 10173 or the Data Privacy Act of 2012. The citated parts in this research got

“Benefits ng google classroom or any educational apps ano.. I think mas napapadali
yung sistema ng edukasyon natin especially na, na, nasa generation na tayo na
technology is ano na abundant na or ano, naka focus na tayo sa technology or naka
base na, and yun nga since dahil sa pandemic last year, uh, yung mga elms or
google classroom is gamit na gamit na ng mga estudyante.’’
(Participant 5)
However, one participant stated that using Google Classroom is not easy for those
that have no internet access, making it harder for students to learn when they lack
internet connectivity.

“Maganda siya kaso lang me- sa mga para saken maganda kasi may internet access
ako pero sa ibang studyante hindi kayang mag access sa ibang- sa internet
connection medyo mahihirpaan sila sa pag gamit ng google classroom.”
(Participant 1)
(Participant 2)
A respondent who still uses Google Classroom in the current school year
stated that it was useful in the middle of the pandemic, which we view as the
decreasing importance of Google Classroom as we get over the pandemic.
“Maganda dahil mas napadali nito yung- kahit nasa kalagitnaan tayo ng pandemic
mas nakapagfocus parin tayo sa pag aaral naten”

(Participant 1)
One participant stated the ease of use of Google Classroom, stating that it is easy to
use, user friendly, and the participant highlighted the intuitiveness of its interface
allowing users to easily learn its basic functions.
(Participant 4)
Based on the participant’s response, we conclude that the user interface of an LMS
platform affects its ease of use which would allow users to quickly and easily learn
basic and important functions of an LMS platform.
When stating the importance and usefulness of Google Classroom in their studies,
participants simply restated its benefits of Google Classroom, allowing them quickly
and efficiently access their learning materials, as well organize their workloads.
(Participant 3)
LYFJSHS |Practical Research 2|Qualitative Research 18
A participant stated the importance of Google Classroom to their study because aside
from organizing their workloads, Google Classroom also notifies them on their
pending, due, and missing activities, as well as notify them when their instructors
have upload a new learning material and/or activity. This gave the participants
awareness on their current tasks, as well as give him ideas about the progress of their
lessons.

4.4 Challenges and Issues faced by students when using Google Classroom
Most participants stated that the main challenge or issue that they faced when using
Google Classroom is that it becomes inaccessible when there is no internet
connection. However, one respondent experienced technical difficulties in Google
Classroom that can he attributed to lack of or slow internet connectivity, like the late
arrival notifications about new posts by the instructors, new learning materials, and
new assignment. This could delay their schedule, or even get them to miss a certain
task, which could lead to a point deduction when it's submitted late.
"Isa sa mga isyu na naranasan ko habang ginagamit ang Google Classroom ay ang
pagkakaroon ng technical difficulties tulad ng pagka-late ng notification ng bagong
post o assignment."
(Participant 3)
Another participant faced an issue that could be attributed either to the lack of or
slow internet connectivity, or to the main server of Google Classroom. The
participant stated that there was a time where he was not able to submit his work no
matter how hard he tried. And as a result of this, a point was deducted in his
submission.
LYFJSHS |Practical Research 2|Qualitative Research 20
"Nagpapasa ako pero di nya nasusubmit— di nasusubmit yung task na na aano ko,
kahit anong submit ko, kahit anong mark done ko, hindi niya nasusubmit. So nag
cause yon dati sa akin ng ayon, isang grade, ayon. Ayon lang naman ang partikular
na isyu na masasabi ko."
(Participant 4)
In conclusion, the most common difficulty a student face are connectivity issues. A
participant was faced with delayed notifications, while another participant was faced
with an issue where they were not able to submit their tasks. We suggest students to
have proper communication with their instructors so that their instructors can
understand them when they're facing connectivity issues.
Participants stated that Google Classroom made their studies easier and more
convenient. They were able to study even when they're not at school and they were
able to turn back to their lessons.
(Participant 1)
The use of Google Classroom offered convenience as a participant stated that its
accessibility allowed them to manage their time more effectively.
LYFJSHS |Practical Research 2|Qualitative Research 21
(Participant 2)
This is supported by Participant 4 who prefers to study their learning materials late in
the night. Google Classroom offered the participant convenience due to its
accessibility when internet access is present.
"Mas aano siya mas napapadali siya sa akin kasi ako kase sa gabi ako laging
gumagawa late super late na kaya yun oopen molang lang okay na maaccess mo
na."
(Participant 4)
However a participant stated that it haven't affected their practical skills that much,
as Google Classroom is only beneficial to written tasks.
"Wala, kasi para sa akin ang tvl practical talaga e, you have to improve practical."
(Participant 3)
However, in terms of creating documents, the same participant stated that most
document types are available on Google Classroom.
"Para sa akin sa written task. Kasi may mga option doon kasi kung anong document
ang gagawin mo, microsoft word, google docs, andon na yung mga gagawin mo."
(Participant 3)

Discussion
The findings in this research highlights the benefits and convenience of using Google
Classroom for academic studies. It allows easy access to learning materials, quick
submission of tasks, and effective communication with peers and instructors (Alim et
al. 2019). However, just as Alim et al. (2019) and Santos (2021) emphasized in their
own respective studies, connectivity issues, primarily due to slow or unreliable
internet connections, pose a major problem. The user interface of an LMS platform,
like Google Classroom, affects ease of use (Ayub et al. 2010), and participants
generally agree that it is user-friendly, especially for those with basic technology
knowledge (Shaharanee et al., 2016; Aliazas and Penergayo, 2021; Santos, 2021).
Students are recommended to maintain proper communication with instructors when
facing connectivity issues. The importance of Google Classroom is reiterated, with
participants emphasizing its role in tracking lessons, enabling remote learning, and
providing constant updates and notifications. The platform enhances convenience
and accessibility, allowing students to quickly memorize and review important
content. However, practical skills development may require additional practice in
laboratories or at home with the necessary tools and equipment.

Conclusion
In conclusion, perceived ease of use has a strong effect on the perception of TVL
students towards Google Classroom. Learning materials and activities being easy to
access is seen the most beneficial aspect of Google Classroom, and it can be
LYFJSHS |Practical Research 2|Qualitative Research 24
contributed to its convenient user interface and specific design features. However,
connectivity issues are a major problem concerning the difficulties experienced by
TVL students from Luis.
Recommendation
Teachers - Our dedicated teachers are strongly encouraged to provide support and
mentorship to their students, especially during hands-on activities and laboratory
practices. Furthermore, it is essential to place greater emphasis on the
implementation of Standard Operating Procedures to foster disciplined learning and
set high standards for TVL students.
Policy makers - Policy makers have a crucial role to play in ensuring effective
online learning experiences for TVL students. To address connectivity issues, it is
essential for policy makers to invest in improving internet infrastructure and ensuring
reliable and affordable internet access for all students. Allocating sufficient funds
and resources to provide necessary tools and equipment for practical learning in
laboratories is also important. Furthermore, policy makers should establish
guidelines and standards for user-friendly Learning Management Systems (LMS)
LYFJSHS |Practical Research 2|Qualitative Research 25
such as Google Classroom, with a focus on ease of use and accessibility for all
students. Additionally, providing training and support to teachers and students will
maximize the benefits of these platforms.
Proposed Projects
1. Luis Y. Ferrer Jr. SHS Online Study Archive - We propose a project that
focuses on enhancing the accessibility of learning materials for TVL students,
and to all strands and track as a whole. It could involve creating a centralized
digital application/website where teachers can upload and organize
educational resources like modules in various formats, as well as video
lessons. This ensures an easy access for students, as well as give them
insights on what other strands are studying, which would add to their
knowledge. The application or website may also inclkailude specifically
training teachers on effective content creation and organization, as well as
providing guidelines for creating accessible materials to cater to diverse
learning needs.
2. Luis Y. Ferrer Jr. SHS Learning Management Systems Promotion
Project - A creation of a Facebook page that promotes the use of the school's
Learning Management System or Online Study Archives. It would contain
information such as the website or application link, tutorials on its use, and
the covered topics.
