THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ONLINE SCHOOLING

TO STUDENTS IN MAINTAINING QUALITY EDUCATION

Chapter I

INTRODUCTION

Background of the Study

Education is definitely the most important thing we must obtain in this world of ours. It will be

our best weapon to face the reality of the world. Education also have different forms when it comes to

rendering it to anyone of every status in life. Education doesn’t look on the economic status of an

individual because whoever have the drive to learn is legible to learn in education.

The different form of education can be seen into what we called home-based education, online

education, self-education, distance learning and the face to face education. And in the modern education

system of our country and world, we always compete to quality education and how to maintain it.

Education is an essential needs of anyone to be able to compete to our world. And from the time being it

is one of the given identification of the norms of the many civilization, dynasties and empires. The so-

called scholars and keep by the hierarchy to maintain the stability of an empire.

As our world transform, the education and its application and implementation became stagnant

for quite some time and be somehow maintain its stereotypical approach to community. And the arrival

of the well-known philosophers such as J. Dewey, J.J Rousseau, M. Montessori and many more, slowly

transform the form of education. From the teacher-centered type of education it gradually become

student-centered type of education. This transformation was easily accepted by the community since

many of the known scholars were learned in the process whereas the professors and the teachers pattern

the education similar and the format of education is a total upgrade or promotional type. The

implementation of the new philosophy where discussed to be in the spiral form of education and the

implementation weren’t that accepted easily.

In the entrée of the 19th and 20th century makes education in the transformative years and it is

challenging that the educators have to maintain the quality of education and assure the learning of every

learners became useful in the future aspects.

Through the years, this quality education maintained its status throughout and this education was

applied in different forms. In other countries these several types of education were seen in different

forms. There we have distance learning, online learning, home-based schooling, tutorials, modular

schooling, alternative learning, informal education, blended education system and regular classroom set-

up. For quite some reason, these types of education system were not all available in the Philippines and
only few families were able to accommodate this education system. Because aside from its high

standards of results it is expensive and required internet connectivity or accepted reasons.

Hence, in the year 2020, whereas the entire humanity suffers the threat of COVID 19, many

were forced to do apply this method of learning. Of course, since the Philippines were not used to this

type of education, many were shocked and puzzled on how to go in the flow of education in this manner.

The nationwide adjustment of classes were immediately implemented and all the school activities were

cancelled. Even the world-wide sports conferences were also cancelled. Somewhat the education

department made some actions to continue the education system in the country and embracing all the

asynchronous learning style were implied, imposed and implemented to the country.

As of the moment, many are still questioning the effectiveness of online classes and online

schooling and modular classes and the like. The credibility of the learning schemes were questioned yet

both Department of Education and Commission on Higher Education remain steadfast in the appealing

to people and imposing that retention of quality education of the Filipino students.

This research will find proof about the effectiveness of the online education can maintain the

quality of education that were used to during the normal days. Since according to my deeper reading

about education done in other countries many were became successful and can coup up with those

people who finishes study in formal education. This paper will diminished the walls and errands of

online schooling is not the same to regular schooling in gaining quality education.

Statement of the Problem

This study generally aimed to determine how the students of Oriental Mindoro National High

School manage to gain and maintain quality education even through online schooling media.

Specifically, it sought answers to the following questions:

1. Is there a significance difference in the level of performance in pre-test of students in online

schooling and regular schooling in maintaining the quality education?

2. Is there a significance difference in the level of performance in post-test of students in online

schooling and regular schooling in maintaining the quality education?

3. Is there a significance difference of level of performance in between of online schooling and

regular schooling in maintaining the quality education?

 4. What are the evidences that shows the effectiveness of online schooling to students in

maintaining the quality education?

Statement of the Hypothesis

The study tested the following hypotheses:

1. There is no significant difference in the level of performance in Maintaining Quality Education in

Online Schooling.

Scope and Delimitation of the Study

The study focused on the effectiveness of online schooling in maintaining quality education

among students of Oriental Mindoro National High School.

Significance of the Study

The outcomes of this study would be useful to the following:

Students. This study would help the students in developing positive attitude towards

understanding fully how does online schooling could maintain the quality of education they are receiving

and can be compared to normal schooling whereas the student have the face to face interaction inside the

classroom.

Teachers. This study would guide the teachers in providing effective teaching skills in

enhancing its student’s capability and ability learn their lesson even through online media platform in

maintain quality education.

School Heads. This study would help the school heads in initiating different activities such as

webinars for teachers and providing electronic teaching and learning materials in all subjects especially

when a student is taking an online classes to maintain quality education.

Parents. Based on the results of this study, the parents of the students would be aware of the

necessary skills needed to be developed by the students to become successful in maintaining quality

education even under the online schooling scheme.

Curriculum Planners. The findings of this study would help them create a curriculum that

will be focusing on the difficulties encountered by students during online schooling and continuously

gain quality education.

 Future Researchers. The findings of this study might be used as base data in conducting

related or similar studies for the betterment of the students’ performance in online schooling and

maintain quality education.

Theoretical Framework

The study was anchored on the following theories:

The theories of some of the well-known personality in the field of education proven that there

are ways in gaining quality education if imparted to the learners to make it on their own. This theory

resembles in what John Dewey once told “Learning by doing” and was supported also by a researcher

namely Enriquez, M. A of DLSU. His research Students’ Perceptions on the Effectiveness of the Use of

Edmodo as a Supplementary Tool for Learning (Enriquez, 2014), states that utilizing Virtual Learning

Environments as a supplementary tool for motivating and empowering independent learning and

innovative teaching is becoming a crucial part of a 21st century education. Edmodo is one example of

social learning site which is now being used by professors and students in many institutions of higher

learning in the country. However, there are still limited researches in the Philippines about the impact of

using Virtual Learning Environments as supplementary tools for learning.

Also, (Thangeda et al., 2016)’s Education for Sustainability: Quality Education Is A Necessity

in Modern Day. How Far the Educational Institutions Facilitate Quality Education do, stated “From

generation to generation time changes affecting culture and the way people live and their society as well.

A change in time prompts new inventions and technologies, the twenty-first century where scientific

inventions and the latest of technologies are the basis of trade. It is evident that as years go by there

comes along sophistication and need for education that fits the times that we live in arises. The transition

in the teaching system offered in educational institutions and the introduction of technology in

educational institutions are a clear indication that education has to be of certain quality to meet the

certain standards in the market.

While, in the journal “The Effectiveness of Online Learning: Beyond No Significant Difference

and Future Horizons” (Nguyen, 2015) said that The physical " brick and mortar " classroom is starting to

lose its monopoly as the place of learning. The Internet has made online learning possible, and many

researchers and educators are interested in online learning to enhance and improve student learning
outcomes while combating the reduction in resources, particularly in higher education. It is imperative

that researchers and educators consider the effectiveness of online learning compared to traditional face-

to-face format and the factors that influence the effectiveness of online courses.

Nevertheless the theory was much related to the intervention since the main goal of the material

is to enhance the learning capability of every individual student in maintaining quality education through

online schooling. The ideology of this theories describes clearly how the intervention media of learnings

will works and manipulated. As stated by the research compilation of some universities in the United

States of America (Partnerships, 2011).

On the other hand the schemes of learning can always be different once the approach changes,

yet it will always gain the same outcome if it is studied well and prepared well (Menon, 2014) and it also

stated that “Education, as a service-rendering industry, demands quality maintenance and improvement.

In India, over the past decade, management education has been observing an upward trend which is

indicated by the mushrooming of an alarmingly large number of Management Institutes and the moving

in of an ocean of students seeking management degree.”

In some ways, this theory resembles the patterns of the intervention material whereas it will have

intervention using online and even offline schemes to investigate deeper and discover deeper the

effectiveness of using the online schooling.

Lastly, this paper will resembles or even pioneered a deeper study in the gaining and

maintaining the quality education that everyone wanted to since this pandemic became uncontrollable

and put fear in everyone’s face. The facet of this paper create façade of interconnecting possibilities and

positivity that will assure to maintain quality education.
