 CHAPTER 1

INTRODUCTION
 Background of the Study
• Fast-paced modernization and revolution in information
and communication technology -> integration of online
education.
• Generally, online learning has gained further importance
because of the COVID-19. In a survey conducted by
UNESCO, out of the 61 countries that have been
questioned, most of these countries’ educational systems
opted to utilize distance learning, e-learning at large
(European Data Portal, 2020).
• However, because of the unplanned and sudden shift to
online learning, according to the World Bank, there was
no universal curriculum for digital teaching and learning
by any country in the world (European Portal 2020).
 Cont…………

• According to Moralista and Oducado (2020), the faculty’s

lack of preparation to conduct online classes along with
the constant issue of slow internet in the country pose
challenges in the integration of online education in the
country (Cuaton, 2020).
• Relatively in nursing education, real-time learning
experiences, lack of resources, physical distance
separation, lack of real-time nursing situations, altered
communication methods, and interactions with technology
as a mediator are some of these concerns (Van Schyndel,
2015).
Purpose of the Study
• To develop an understanding of the
lived experiences of third year nursing
students on the integration of online
learning environment.
• To explore of the new challenges of
the online learning environment.
• Describe how students cope up and
what adjustment did the third year
nursing student take.
 Research Questions

1. What is the lifeworld of student nurses in an

online learning environment?
2. What adjustments have they done to cope with
the online pedagogy?
3. What insights can they share to their peers and
to the nursing academe in general?

METHODOLOGY
 Research Design
• Descriptive Phenomenological Research Design
• With this design, the researchers will be able to:
explore, describe, and understand the lived
experiences of the student nurses’ lifeworld in
online learning, ascribing their own meaning from
those.
Settings
• A private and non-sectarian
academic school located at Gen.
Malvar St., Davao City.
• The researchers choose the area
because there are nursing students
who enrolled in the school that
experience online learning.
Research Setting
 Research Partcipants
Emphasis on sampling technique, size, and inclusion criteria.
• Sampling technique
In this study the researchers used purposive sampling under the Non Probability sampling method.
This is also called judgement sampling
• Size
10 participants for IDI
2 participants for FGD (consist of 4 people each group)
Total of 12 participants to be interviewed
• Inclusion Criteria
Fully attending classes online
Regular nursing students of legal age 18 years old and above.
Currently enrolled both 1st and 2nd semester, school year of 2020-2021
Have the access to computer and internet service
 Data Collection Procedures
1. The researchers will secure approval from the program chair.

2. The researchers will secure an informed consent from the participating Third year
Nursing students.

3. The participants will be informed that the online interview will be done via zoom or
google meet.
4. The online interview will be set during their free time and will last approximately 30
minutes to an hour and a half.
5. The researchers will adhere the interview protocols and there should be two
interviewer assigned to each participants and there will be at least three sessions of
online interview.

6. When the online interview has been done the gathered data will be interpreted, all
of the information transcripts that the participants gave the conductor are valid,
accurate, error-free and precise.
7. The researchers will present the interpretations and analysis of the data.
 Trustworthiness of the Study
• Credibility
a. Researchers will ask numerous distinct questions about the topic and participants will be encouraged to
support their answer with real-life examples and interviewer will throw follow-up queries.
b. Methodological triangulation: In-depth interview and focus group discussion
c. Data collected will analyzed by two groups of researchers and interpretation will be compared.
d. All transcriptions of the interview will be sent back to the participants for feedback.
• Transferability
a. Researchers will provide a thick description of the research process to let the reader evaluate whether the
findings are transferrable to their own setting.
• Dependability
a. Audit trial, illustrating that the findings are based on the participant's narratives and involve describing how
they collected and analyzed the data in a transparent manner
• Confirmability
a. The researchers will set aside personal biases and motivations.
b. Researchers will make sure that the findings could be validated and confirmed by some researchers.
 Reflexivity
RESEARCHERS’ POSITION:
• Strive to adapt technology advancements
• Promote progressive and sustained education despite the pandemic.
HOW CAN THE RESEARCHERS’ EXPERIENCES AFFECT THE
INTERPRETATION AND ANALYSIS OF DATA?
• Numerous negative encounters in the current learning approach
• Strive to adapt changes mainly technological advances in all
nursing settings
How to do the bracketing in the study:
• 1. Discuss preconceptions and biases with the research members.
• 2. Keep a bracketing journal
 Role of the Researchers
• Preparing The Inform Consent
• Reaching Out The Participants
• Interviewer
• Recording The Interview
• Data Gatherer
• Securing The Data
• Analyzing and Interpreting the Data Collected
 Ethical Considerations
• The researchers will secure permission from the
program chair to conduct this study. Participants
are not subjected to any harm at all.
• Respect the dignity so as the privacy
• Anonymity is given
• Before gathering the data; Informed consent will
be given to the participants.
• Participation is voluntary
• For data gathering; handling of recordings from
the interview will be stored and carefully handled
 Data Analysis
• The study is based on descriptive phenomenology and through Colaizzi method the researchers can explore the lived experiences

of participants.
• Descriptive phenomenological approach should consider using Colaizzi method as its guide a clear and logical process through

which the fundamental structure of an experience can be explored.

Steps

1. Familiarization

2. Identifying significant statements

3. Formulating meaning

4. Clustering themes

5. Developing an exhaustive description-

6. Producing the fundamental structure

7. Seeking verification of the fundamental structure
