CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS
BACKGROUND

2022
 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
The life of students is exciting for it comprises different experiences and
adventures — in and outside the school that will need much power, time,
and energy. Likewise, there are the challenges, problems, and stressors that
students encounter in different aspects of everyday life. Young people
should have everything to be happy about, but as the generation with the
least responsibility, they experience the most stress.

Since the COVID-19 Pandemic took a surge, things went away from their
respective settings. The education system took the hardest hits as most
countries, including the Philippines, refrained from the face-to-face settings
to altering to online classes. Although the online classes offer a lot of
advantages through their advanced features while also not requiring face-to-
face settings, they also have specific disadvantages.
 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
According to SDSN Youth Organization (2020), students in online learning do not connect
well with other people as they do in a regular setting. It directly affects their mental health,
causing them to lose interest in their respective subjects. 
In addition, in 2018, a study by the same organization found that 45% of Filipinos do not have
internet access while 74% of public schools also struggle to establish their respective
internet connections. (Kemp and Grieve, 2014) also stated that in online

learning, teachers and learners fail to notice and take into consideration each other’s verbal and
non-verbal cues. This hinders the communication method between the students and the
teachers.
Moreover, (Xu and Jaggars, 2016) pointed out that face-to-face learning offers numerous edges
and benefits that the online setting failed to deliver. While the traditional setting allows
students to spark their creativity and innovative ideas, online classes, on the other hand, are
being hindered by the limitations that the teachers and the students had to deal with.
 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY

More so, these setbacks directly affect the performance of the students. In most cases, they are

also being reflected in the grades of the students. Frontiers in Organization quoted that the

technical problems that are always present in an online setting cause the students to feel

disregarded, giving them a sense of ignorance of the importance of their activities and

performances. This dilemma spoils learning. 

 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
While the objectives of online learning are also to deliver learnings to students most efficiently and
safely, the setbacks that it brings add up to the current stress that the COVID-19 pandemic
ushered to both the students and faculty members. The University of Cumberlands defines this
stress as “Zoom Fatigue”. This term gets associated with mental burnout, depression, anxiety,
and lack of motivation. The university also marked those individuals who suffer from mental
health issues find it harder to deal with this specific kind of stress while most of them suffer to
a higher degree. Similarly, school closing may also affect students because of disruption of
teacher and students’ networks, 
leading to the poor performance reported that schools and colleges are moving towards educational
technologies for student learning to avoid a strain during the pandemic season. 
 BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Hence, the present study’s objective is to develop and test a conceptual model of student satisfaction
with online teaching during COVID-19, where both students and teachers have no other option than
to use the online platform for uninterrupted learning and teaching. While there are different
perspectives from the different people of the learning process such as learning achievement and
faculty perspectives, students’ perspectives are especially critical since they are ultimately the main
characters of this kind of topic. A student's perspective on online education is profoundly important.
Online learning has become part of the curriculum at the University of Batangas. This type of
learning by electronic technologies to learn outside a normal or traditional classroom. Presentations
can be recorded or presented live inside the used apps for E-Learning, allowing participants to
either learn at their own pace or even go back and review what they have already learned and ask
questions.
RESEARCH
DESIGN
The aim of this study is to assess the academic performance
of the Grade 12 Stem-Engineering students of
University of Batangas under online learning. To do
such, the researchers have chosen to conduct
quantitative descriptive research to collect and gather
sufficient data that will allow the researchers to describe
the data and its characteristics. As defined by Siedlecki
(2020), descriptive research aims to gather data and
evaluate the respondent’s perception of a certain
phenomenon 
 BREAKTHROUGH
POPULATION AND SAMPLING
With a total population of 229 Grade-12 STEM-Engineering students, the researchers
used 22% of the population above and yielded 50 ideal respondents as the study’s
sample size. More so, the sample size will be composed of students of the
University of Batangas Batangas Campus’ Senior High School Department. 
The researchers will utilize the benefit of the sample’s randomness to determine and
explore the spectrum of differences between the respondents. The researchers will
also entreat the respondents to fill out the questionnaire provided to further
develop a better understanding of the relationship between online learning and the
students’ academic performance.

Furthermore, the researchers will employ the Simple Random Sampling method as
their way of determining their ideal respondents. This means that everyone who is
within the range that was set by the researchers will have an equal chance of being
selected as a respondent. The method will also diminish the study’s possible
biases.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONS 

This chapter presents all the data gathered and the responses provided by the selected

response as well as the analysis of the results. Data were analyzed to guide the

researchers in coming up with an output that will help the students, parents, and

teachers to know the factors that they should deal with during online learning and

how these affect the academic performances of the students.

1. Difficulties that the respondents
have faced due to the current mode of
learning.

The researchers obtain this set of data in

order to identify the difficulties that the
respondents have to endure in order to
cope with the current mode of learning.
The researchers also identified the set of
learning strategies that the respondents
practice in order to aid their academic
dilemmas.

2. Complications of the respondents

struggled through or during Online
Learning.
The researchers collect this information in
order to discover the challenges that
respondents must face in ability to
engage with online learning. The
researchers also found a set of learning
techniques that respondents use to help
them with their academic quandaries.
