THE EFFECTS OF POST-PANDEMIC GADGET DEPENDENCY

ON GRADE 10 STUDENTS AT STO DOMINGO NATIONAL

TRADE SCHOOL

INTRODUCTION

The Effects of Post-Pandemic Gadget Dependency on Grade 10 Students at

Sto.Domingo National Trade School. This research examines how Grade 10
students cope with life without gadget dependency. According to the
research, a gadget is a new, usually expensive and largely unknown
hardware item or accessory that improves your life or makes the use of
another device less difficult or more enjoyable.

Based on research, school is where an individual learns and influences

many aspects of their lives. It is, indeed, a second place where teachers not
only educate but also nurture kids with all of their potential as educators. It
is also an aspect of their lives that they cannot avoid or ignore because
education is vital to their development. What if our second home, the
school, closes? What will happen to us as students, how will students
learn, and what are the students' causes and effects?

Furthermore, according to the study, dependency is a situation in which

you require something or someone and are unable to perform their duties
normally in their absence.

According to the research, a gadget is a new, usually expensive and largely

unknown hardware item or accessory that improves your life or makes the
use of another device less difficult or more enjoyable. However, excessive
use of technology by students results in addiction to laptops, tablets,
smartphones, video games, etc., which can have an impact on a student's
motivation, abilities, and desire to learn. It is dangerous for a student who
uses devices more than the restrictions allow.

As a result, this study will provide every student with new knowledge,
show how gadget dependency affects the students' physical and emotional
health, and show how they overcome their strengths and weaknesses.
As a result, this study will provide readers with a hint of how post-
pandemic gadget dependency impacts the learning process.

MODULAR OR FACE TO FACE CLASSES: ITS EFFECTIVENESS
IN LEARNING DEVELOPMENT OF GRADE 10 STUDENTS IN
STO DOMINGO NATIONAL TRADE SCHOOL

Modular or Face to Face Classes: It's Effectiveness In Learning

Development of Grade 10 Students In Sto. Domingo National Trade
School. Based on research, Education is described as the act or
process of educating or disciplining the mind, as well as a process of
character training. Education in the new normal is a heavy task in the
Philippines in an attempt to push through education throughout the
deadly pandemic caused by covid-19.

Based on research, The COVID-19 pandemic, often referred to as the

coronavirus pandemic, is a worldwide outbreak of the coronavirus
illness 2019 (COVID-19), which is brought on by a novel coronavirus
that causes severe acute respiratory syndrome 2. The outbreak in
Wuhan, China, in December 2019 was the first time the unique virus
was discovered. due to the COVID-19 pandemic, online learning has
been implemented at all levels of education. This abrupt shift from
traditional learning to 100% online learning may have an impact on
students' learning effectiveness. due to the COVID-19 pandemic,
online learning has been implemented at all levels of education. This
abrupt shift from Face to face classes to Modular Distance Learning
may have an impact on students' learning effectiveness.

Meanwhile, learning, motivation, and self-esteem are all enhanced in

face-to-face instruction. When these abilities and environments are
created, they frequently interact with one another. The activities that
pupils can engage in may range widely. According to research, Our
brains are happier when we communicate in person, thus in a
classroom setting, teachers can manage their topics very effectively
as they no longer need to condense them to fit each module.

This research tackles whether in-person or modular learning is more

effective for improving student learning. In additionally, this also study
the impact of modular and face to face classes of Grade 10 students in
Sto. Domingo National Trade School.
THE DIFFICULTIES THAT GRADE 10 STUDENTS FACED WHEN
TRAVELLING A SIGNIFICANT DISTANCE TO ATTEND FACE-TO-
FACE CLASSES AT STO. DOMINGO NATIONAL TRADE SCHOOL

INTRODUCTION

As soon as the pandemic struck, all regions, particularly schools, were placed
under lockdown. According to the news report published by Carlos (2022) about
the current pandemic of corona virus disease in 2019 (Covid-19), President
Rodrigo Duterte consented to the resumption of face-to-face meetings. (F2F)
lessons are critical to restoring normalcy to the country. In light of this, and after
years of isolation and distance learning, since society is gradually embracing
every shift the pandemic brought about, practically all schools now demand a
small amount of face-to-face classes. One of these schools is Sto. Domingo
National Trade School, which has students all over the province of Nueva Ecija.

Face-to-face learning, often known as traditional learning, necessitates daily

attendance from students. Students must get up early in order to travel to and
attend classes on time. In the Philippines, a mobility study performed in June
2022 indicated that 29% of interviewees said that in their everyday mobility, it
took them an average of 15 to 29 minutes to get to work, school, or university. In
contrast, 26% of respondents reported a daily commute time of 30 to 59 minutes
(Statista Research Department, 2022). According to Lamudi (2019), in order to
achieve good grades, students must follow their schools' attendance policies.
But, as if being a regular student wasn't stressful enough, being stuck in traffic
worsens the situation. Students commonly miss class due to tardiness, which
builds up over time and reduces motivation. When students reach home late,
they have less time to study and complete assignments. Worse, they stay up late
and risk missing a necessary nap.

Taking into consideration all these general challenges, student researchers

came up with the quantitative study entitled, "The Difficulties that Grade 10
Students Faced When Travelling a Significant Distance to Attend Face-to-Face
Classes at Sto. Domingo National Trade School." The independent factors are
forms of transportation for commuting and personal service; the distance
traveled by students while attending classes; and the dependent variables are
the obstacles experienced by students, especially grade 10 students at
Sto.Domingo National Trade School. The challenges might be classified as
commuting difficulties and physical and mental health disorders developed
while traveling.

Student researchers intend to analytically examine and classify the correlational

relationship between these variables in order to consider the students' situation.
