Introduction
The first case of Covid 19 was confirmed on January 25, 2020. The World Health Organization
had announced that the disease had become pandemic. From March 18, 2020, all governments,
schools, and university were closed. These closures affect the daily lives of students, teachers and
any individual involved with educational organizations throughout the country. During the pandemic,
the face-to-face teaching that we practiced for a several times had to be suspended. Because of

asynchronous, the instructor, students and other participants are not engaged in the learning process
at the same time. Online learning is fit for learners who have access to a laptop or tablet, with reliable
internet speed and connectivity, and have a comfortable place away from distractions and noise.
Based on our experience and research we’ve noticed that there are some students who are
having an issue with their internet connections. The situation might become more difficult for them to
study with because of lack of reliable internet. We’ve also noticed that communication skills and how

2. What are the effects of 2 years online modality to the communication skills of the respondents?
3. What can be recommended ways to enhance the communication skills of the respondents through
online modality?
Theoretical Framework
The study is anchored on Siemens and Downes (2005) connectivism learning theory. This
theory is a learning theory that suggests students should combine thoughts, theories, and general
It says that technology is an important aspect of the learning process and that our constant
connectivity enables us to make decisions about our learning. It also promotes group collaboration
and conversation by allowing for many perspectives while making decisions and solving problems.
4
Connectivism promotes learning that takes place outside of the body, such as through social media,
internet networks or blogs. The significance of technology in the learning process, as well as how the
digital age has facilitated students’ access to information. This theory consists of two terms; nodes
and links, to describe how we gain in a network. In connectivism students are seen as “nodes” in a
network. A node refers to any object that can be connected to another object, like a book, webpage,
person, etc. Connectivism theory explained that we learn when we make connections or “links”,
between various “nodes” of information, and we continue to make maintain connections to form
knowledge.
According to Siemens and Downes, understanding connectivism is one thing; putting it into
practice in teaching and learning activities is quite another. Keep in mind that with a connectivism
perspective, the students assume more responsibility for their own learning.
Unlike traditional learning and other theories, the teacher’s role is to support students in
becoming successful by their own learning and growth. In other words, it’s the student’s responsibility
to create their own learning experience, make decisions, and develop their learning networks.
But many students encounter various difficulties that interfere with the efficient delivery of
educational services. The situation might become more difficult for students to study with because of
distraction and lack of motivation. We’ve also noticed that communication skills and how students
interact with each other have changed, that can affect the performance tasks of the students.

CHAPTER II
This chapter contains five different themes; these are as follow: Difference of Traditional and
Online Teaching, the effects of Online Learning on Communication Skills of Students, The Challenges
Encountered by Students in Terms of Communication Skills, Communication Problems that Affect the
Life of Students, and The Effect of Student Engagement on Online learning Environment. This
chapter also thoroughly explains the studies that will be used in the study, this will ensure that the
Digital media improved teaching and learning experiences and become a common practice for
students and teachers. Traditional teaching or face-to-face is conducted synchronously, means that
the students are in the same place. Traditional teaching during pandemic must have proper risk
assessment and must adhere to the health protocols in place. (Llego, 2022).
Department of Health (2022), says that it is healthier for students to return to school after more
than two years in online learning. Face-to-face attendance in school will allow children to develop
That face-to-face classes will boost student's academic performance, improve on mental health and
instant chats, video and audio communications, discussion forums, and reflections, makes up the
vast bulk of communication between students and instructors as well as between students.

However, different from a face-to-face which also involves more in-person dialogue and
conversations, an advantage of an online course is that you can generally communicate with more
ideas as well as clear, global messaging given that students may view, reread, and review again and
again. Without synchronized meeting times and places for the whole-class like in face-to-face
courses, student engagement in learning in an online course may feel, or even actually be, more
personal and individualized than in a face-to-face setting. In general, teachers engage with students
more frequently on an individual and intimate level, which supports each student’s learning
throughout the course. Additionally, there are typically greater interactions between students ( Brown,
2019).
As researched by Llego (2022) in his study he defined that the role of facilitator, encouraging
active engagement from learners when they are physically separated from one another during
teaching by using a variety of technologies accessed through the internet. Peer-to-peer and learner-
teacher interaction are made easier by the internet. Live, synchronous instruction is possible with
online education. Participants must have a strong and reliable internet connection. In comparison to
other forms of distant learning, it is more engaging. Real-time responses are given. The students can
access online , complete and turn in assignments, participate in webinars, and take virtual classes.
According to Wahab (2020), explains how COVID-19 is affecting higher education, focusing on
the move to online learning, the challenges students confront, and the tough teaching conditions. Ali
makes the case that virtual learning is more efficient than traditional learning. He discusses the
challenges that students faced, which created many problems in the teaching environments because

The knowledge of sending emails and communicating online is already ingrained in them.
However, some universities closed because they could not create a good environment for their
students to learn. The oral mode refers to spoken language during face-to-face classes. In his paper,
he makes the argument that certain universities, like New York University, were prepared for a swift
shift and gave their students all the tools and technology they needed for online classes; however, he
also points out that successful modifications require advance planning and an understanding of all
changing circumstances. This study aims to explore whether online learning influences
communication to the instructors and students in a possible negative way. However, online learning
affects students’ productivity levels and to evaluate and suggest ways to make improvements on the
effectiveness of. Online communication between instructors and students. Results showed that most
people agree with the study’s questions. Due to numerous issues that arise when taking online
communication between the students and their instructors, and a sense of isolation brought on by
taking online classes, students continue to prefer classroom instruction over it. According to, teachers
and students should converse informally (through audio conversations, private video calls, online chat
groups, and instant messages) as well as formally (using email and online platforms), (Alawamleh, Al-
Additionally, some universities provide students with tools to aid in their learning and provide
them with the chance to study and converse. So, online learning prevents teachers from
understanding their students’ understanding of the material which allows them to know the
effectiveness of their materials and method they use. Also, it minimizes their ability to individually

contact their students to evaluate their levels. Furthermore, teachers had difficulty adapting to an
online format while still teaching effectively. He relates to Gee’s secondary discourse when he claims
that in this period, all people, especially students will easily adapt to online learning due to their big
knowledge, skills and familiarity with technology, so he states that the new technology affects us.
Communications in our daily lifestyle, and how our education under this pandemic allow us to learn a
This unexpected shift has an impact on their performances, grades, and attendance, which reduces
their capacity to actively participate in class. Online instruction also hinders students from physically
interacting in their labs or conducting research, which decreases their knowledge of lectures.
(Deepika, 2020).
Overall Research limitations/implications This research studied the impact from students’
perspective only as the sample was selected only from students. Students still prefer classroom
classes over online classes due to many problems they face when taking online classes, such as lack
of motivation, understanding of the material, decrease in communication levels between the students
and their instructors, and their feeling of isolation caused by online classes. (Alawamleh, 2020; Al-
According to Pekrun et al. (2017) one communication problem that can significantly affect the
life of a student is the lack of effective communication with teachers or instructors. Research shows
that poor communication between students and teachers can lead to lower academic performance,
decreased motivation and engagement, and negative attitudes towards learning. They believe that
cooperation has three subscales: usefulness of cooperation, individual orientation and inequity.
12
Another communication problem that can impact a student’s life is communication barriers that
arise due to cultural differences. Students who come from different cultural backgrounds may struggle
to understand and communicate with their peers and instructors, leading to social isolation, poor
academic performance, and frustration (Nussbaum-Beach & Hall, 2014; Grosseck & Holotescu,
2014).
Additionally, the use of technology in communication can also pose a problem for some
students. With the increasing dependence on digital communication, some students may struggle to
One communication problem that can affect the life of a student is language barriers. Students
who are non-native speakers of the language of instruction may struggle to understand lectures,
communicate effectively with their peers and instructors, and express themselves in written
assignments (Kaya & Bektas, 2015; Leki & Carson, 1997). This can lead to feelings of isolation,
frustration, and low self-esteem, which can in turn affect academic achievement and future
opportunities (Cumming & Cheng, 2016; Shen, Wang, Yang, & Chen, 2017).
Another communication problem that can affect students is poor interpersonal communication
skills. Students who struggle to communicate effectively with their peers or instructors may find it
difficult to form meaningful relationships, collaborate on group projects, ask for help, or express their
needs and preferences (Garcia & Cognetta, 2014; Horowitz, Horowitz, & Cope, 1986). This can also
Overall, effective communication is crucial for academic success and personal growth.
Addressing communication problems within educational settings, such as with teachers or cultural
According to Jackson and Fearon (2013) those academics who attended online training
complained that training was not as they expected. It did not give them enough confidence, it was not
inspiring enough for them to carry on learning. Online sessions were badly planned with errors, and
In contrast, Awal et al. (2020) discovered that online learning is both efficient and effective.
However, learning outcomes cannot be met because it is expensive to purchase suitable internet
packages, despite their understanding that online learning is effective as a response to the
distance and online learning, it can be seen that approximately 92% of all distance and online
education studies find that distance and online education is at least as effective.
Additionally, the industry of ELearning (2021) says that online learning is growing at the same
rate as before COVID-19. In online teaching, there is minimal physical interaction between students
and teachers. Many students skip tasks and classroom sessions, an action that has implications for
online education. While this can be supported by learning technologies, it also affects students’ ability

CHAPTER III
This chapter contains seven different procedures, these are as follows: Method of Research,
Research Locale, Sampling Method, Respondents of the Study, Research Instrument, Data
Gathering Procedure, and Statistical Treatment. This chapter also thoroughly explains the
instruments and procedures that will be used to the study, this will ensure the reliability of the results
of the study.
Method of Research
The researchers made use of descriptive method where the study directs on the effect of 2
years online modalities to the communication abilities of the respondents. Descriptive research is a
type of research method that concerns the description of a certain situation or phenomenon. It aims
to identify, describe, and distinguish the characteristics and features of the variables being
investigated. In this case, the study aims to describe the effects of online learning modality on the
communication skills of selected Senior High School students of HSL-Braille College, Inc.
Research Locale
This study was conducted at HSL-Braille College, Inc. Located at 26C Durian Extension Pag-
Asa Avenue Barangay katuparan, Signal Village, Taguig City. This study helps the students to
improve their both social and academic skills which helps them to become more globally competitive.
Sampling Method
In this study, the researchers used a stratified random sampling that determined the difference
not only in size but also in diversity, and thought it was more appropriate to take longer samples for
many variables. Strata and smaller samples from less variable strata to account for both stratum size
and stratum variability. Stratified sampling devices divide the universe into several subpopulations
that are individually more homogeneous than representative of the total population (differences
15
between subpopulations are called strata) and select items from each stratum to form the sample.
Because each stratum is more homogeneous in population, more accurate estimates are generated.
In total, the researchers had 119 respondents who all came from the Senior High School
students: 17 from Grade XI – St. Augustine; 9 from Grade XI – St.Dominic ; 19 from Grade XI – St.
Paul ; 14 from Grade XII – St. Anne ; 21 from Grade XII – St. Bridget; 14 from Grade XII – St.
Catherine: 17 from Grade XII – St. Helena and lastly, 8 from Grade XII – St. Therese.
In getting the sample size, the researchers used the Slovin’s formula where in ( n=N/1+Ne2 ).

Research Instrument
The instrument used for data gathering was the self-made questionnaire. The draft for the
questionnaire was based on the findings of the researchers. It is consisting of a set of questions or
other types of prompts that aims the collect information from a respondent.
Data Gathering Procedure
The following processes were used to construct the study; The researchers made the title for
the consent of the study. The researchers will make sure that the data they collect is relevant,
accurate and valid. Additionally, the researchers will do a self-made questionnaire. When the
questionnaires have been approved, the researchers will ask formally for consent to start the survey.
They will inform the respondent with regard to instructions about the survey. Also, the researchers will
allot questionnaires to the selected respondents. In the end, the result of the study will be clarified
and interpreted.
Statistical Treatment
After collecting the data required, the researchers compiled, sorted, organized, and tabulated
the gathered data in the study. It came up with simple summaries about the sample and the
measures. Moreover, the study used Average Weighted Mean (AWM) which is type of mean that is
calculated by multiplying the probability related to a specific event. The percentage was used to

the helps of these activity that the teacher has given; develop communication skills and abilities as
they collaborate with their classmates. Some researchers suggest that online communication can be
as effective or more effective than face-to-face collaboration This phase of development involves the
ability to recognise emotions, comprehend the cause and effects of those emotions, and use that
understanding to make proactive decisions meant to curtail undesirable behavior. (Rezaei, 2017).
However, Smith, et al. (2011) noted that students signed up for an online course frequently believe
that work in the course will be done individually; therefore, these students may resist team-based
approaches to distance learning. These authors report that students in online courses were more
negative about groupwork than students in face-to-face sections. In a different study, Friedman,
Karniel, and Dinur (2009) did not find a significant difference in the social dynamics between online
and fa
ce-to-face groups. Overall, research on the relative superiority of online versus face-to-face
communication, and their roles in facilitating groupwork, is not quite conclusive (Smith, Sorensen,
Gump, Heindel, & Martinez, 2011). It could be concluded that the majority earlier studies are in favor
21
of face-to-face groupwork in comparison with online collaboration; however, more recent studies
indicate that online groupwork has its own advantages and can be quite effective (Rezaei, 2017).
Effective emotion control is the last and greatest degree in the hierarchy of Emotional intelligence.
At this stage, a person can identify emotions, comprehend the reasons andimplications of those
emotions, and utilize that understanding to make proactive choices meant to curtail undesirable
behavior. (Brackett et al., 2019). In order for students to master their emotions when communicating,
they must begin working through the emotional intelligence hierarchy (Brackett et al., 2019). This
begins on the lowest level by realizing how one feels during the communication process. Despite the
apparent simplicity of such a task, in reality it can be a challenging undertaking (Whitbourne, 2014).
Emotions can be complex and overwhelming at times, and some people have great difficulty
expressing their feelings in words. In some situations, the amygdala – the emotional center of the
brain – can “hijack” rational thoughts and behaviors and cause us to emotionally overrespond
(Goleman, 1995, p. 14). This is a common occurrence for many when communicating, especially if
the communication occurs in a public setting (DeVries, 2019). This causes a speaker to demonstrate
emotional cues that signal fear or detract from the speaker’s performance overall (Sapolsky, 2004;
Whalen, 2006).

It is evident from the spoken words and sentences that the person has a positive disposition. One of
the issues with building confidence in public speaking is stage anxiousness. Even someone who
speaks perfectly in casual settings could suddenly develop a fear of getting up in front of others and
giving a speech. The devotion aims to boost students' self-confidence (Rahmat, 2023).
