The Problem and Its Background

Introduction

Online learning is well-established and becoming more popular. The adoption of a

modern teaching–learning ecosystem known as e-learning has been empowered by the digital

transformation of education institutions at all levels. It offers new opportunities for students,

professors and in academic institutions. It is known to be more convenient and flexible

particularly for those with a hectic schedule. You will learn from the comfort of your own home,

when and how it fits your schedule. Many people now have their advanced degrees provided by

online education. The ability of colleges and universities to generate new revenue sources,

expand access, and give students greater scheduling convenience are among the primary reasons

for the growth of Online learning. However, as it has grown in popularity, there has been

ongoing debate about its efficacy, as well as awareness that several drawbacks to its widespread

acceptance in higher education.

Background of the Study

Typical learning usually happens inside the classroom setting and having face-to-face

interactions with their teachers. But when pandemic, typhoons, floods, calamites and other

emergencies come in, online learning or E-learning is one of the most effective alternative way

of education.

E-learning has never been adopted and accepted as real learning or the formal mode of

education before this ongoing pandemic that compelled to resort to electronic learning solution

by world over (Mahajan, 2018). Still, in the midst of a pandemic crisis, most educational

institutions are looking at and embracing e-learning to make it easier for students to adjust to

their current standard. Also, various e-teaching software are being explored by teachers or

educators to bring maximum possible ease for their students. (Nassoura, 2020)

The worldwide epidemic of Corona virus 19 (COVID-19) has rocked the education

system of the country, thus presenting prospects and challenges for higher education institutions

(Toquero, 2020). Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) in the country and around the

world must respond proactively to the disruption brought by the pandemic. In March 2020,

COVID-19 has resulted in school closure in the country. Consequently, a radical change has

taken place in education leading to online learning, with instruction practically done on internet

platforms.

Chua, Sibbaluca, Mack, et al. (2020) proposed using the Virtual Learning Environment

(VLE) as a technological method to promote the teaching and learning process. They believed

that teachers should be innovative in developing such an analytical learning atmosphere that will

best fit the needs of today's generation of students. McHaney, Reiter, and Reychay (2018) affirm

that simulation-based online can offer a great simulation experience when combined with good

pedagogical approaches, appropriate technology and educational technology, and the presence of

experts will provide a better experience in simulations. Simulations have the potential to be a

highly motivational mechanism in the e-learning classroom.

According to Bekmurat (2020), since information technology and the Internet are both

limitless, even a little boy has already been equipped with a device or a cellphone. It's no wonder

that new technologies have become a feature of the teaching and learning continuum. As a result,

they suggest that teachers use simulations to successfully incorporate this into their teaching

methods. Administrators, Deans, Heads, and professors can collaborate to develop the best E-

learning solutions as an immediate response in these times of crisis. Therefore, teachers as a part

of educational support system should be able to focus on emphasizing deep understanding and

engage students with real world data and tool. Teachers should be able to incorporate the use of

supportive technologies, problem-based techniques, and higher order thinking skills into their

learning strategies.

A series of recent studies has indicated that the idea of online learning could

revolutionize higher education by lowering the cost of high-quality learning experiences for

students who do not have access to conventional higher education is comparable to earlier

expectations for technology such as radio and television. If such a change is to happen, it is

already a long way off. Strong research suggests that students of poor academic experiences and

other risk factors fail the most in entirely online classes, resulting in greater demographic

differences in performance than in conventional classroom settings. The primary problem seems

to be a lack of sufficient personal contact between students and teachers, as well as within

students. Hybrid learning frameworks do not have the same issues, and there is room for online

learning to build solutions for solving these challenges. Meanwhile, closing disparities in

educational access and results necessitates extensive professional human engagement. Baum, S.,

& McPherson, M. (2019).

In the Philippines and other countries, teachers and professors in schools and higher

institutions of learning are conducting various virtual studies on the effect of these platforms on

students' academic achievement or learning. Nowadays, many academic articles, virtual learning

environments and other educational tools which are available in the internet for free can be

accessed by ordinary people. Students, in particular, used the internet or, more specifically,

social networking sites on a regular basis.

One of these platforms is the Learning Management System (LMS) that is currently used

by the students at Marian College of Baliuag, Inc. A learning management system (LMS) is a

software application that manages educational courses, training programs, or learning and

development initiatives through administration, recording, monitoring, reporting, automation,

and distribution. The idea of a learning management system arose directly from e-Learning.

The use of online learning platform such as Learning Management System (LMS) has

been implemented by some teachers as an attempt in integrating technology into teaching and

learning process in the classroom. The online platforms encourage interactions between teachers

and students even when they are not in the same space, they promote both inquiry-based learning

and independent learning.

However, The World Health Organization (WHO, 2020) has recorded 9,472,473

confirmed COVID-19 cases, and the Philippine Department of Health(DOH, 2020) has recorded

more than 30,000 positive cases. Online education is an inevitable option to decongest

classrooms amid physical or social distancing protocol. The lack of preparation of faculty

members and the problem of poor internet connection pose challenges in the adoption of online

education in the Philippines. The voices of faculty are needed in the acceptance of new

educational technology, and that will eventually contribute to the success of learning systems.

A web-based classroom is indeed one of the best possible alternative tools and a good

avenue for teaching and learning by which teachers and learners can continue their lessons even

in times of calamities. This was evident by the lived experiences of the respondents. The study

found out that Online learning was accessible, can promote time management, promptness and a

challenge for the users. Francisco C & Barcelona M. (2020)

The main goal of this study is to determine the perceived effectiveness of Grade 12

Students at Marian College toward online education in the Philippines during the COVID-19

outbreak.

Review of Related Literature and Studies

According to Mozahem, N. A. (2020) Web-based learning management systems are

becoming increasingly popular among higher education institutions. The aim of this study is to

investigate whether data obtained from LMS can be used to predict student success in classrooms

that use LMS to complement face-to-face teaching. Data was gathered from eight classes at a

private university in Lebanon over the course of two semesters. The researchers used event

history analysis to see if the likelihood of logging in was linked to the students' gender and

grade. Students with higher grades login to the LMS more often, female’s login more frequently

than males, and student login activity increases as the semester progresses, according to the

findings. As a result, this research demonstrates that student login behavior can be used to

predict academic success. These results indicate that educators in conventional face-to-face

classes may benefit from educational data mining strategies that are used to track student success

using data generated by learning management systems. Mozahem, N. A. (2020).

In the study of Gray,. JA., et al (2016) entitled “The Effects of Student Engagement,

Student Satisfaction, and Perceived Learning in Online Learning Environments” shows that

student engagement, learner interaction and instructor presence are considered an important

variable in students satisfaction and perceived learning in online learning environments. This

study expanded upon the existing literature about online distance learning and the variables that

impacts the student satisfaction and perceived learning. The result of this study is to inform

practice related to the improving quality of online distance learning. (Gray,. JA., et al 2016)

The virtual learning environment in higher education consists of substantial apparatus

such as descriptive, integrative, networking, organizing, creating, and technical orienting so that

it can solve all existing problems of higher education as well as the development in higher

education through technological use. This kind of interactive learning mechanism is carried out

by telecommunication, multimedia, and broadband networks, among others. As a result, the main

point is that in order to work with e-learning activities, we must have some equipment such as a

computer, phone, and so on, as well as some aspects of the equipment's relation. Without this

working with or learning via virtual environment is question mark for every higher education

students (Kerimbayey, N. 2016).

According to the study of Nurassyl Kerimbayev, we may conclude that virtual learning in

the e-teaching phase helps higher education students improve as professionals. Students in higher

education can study in a virtual world without fear. Students and instructors in higher education

are now studying technology-based skills such as running machines and related devices, as well

as living in a modern world and learning about computer networking topics such as WI-FI, cable,

and other technologies through e learning techniques. According to Kerimbayev et al., it is

important to research from suitable materials such as high-quality audio, video, and pictures,

which necessitate a high-quality camera, connection, and Wi-Fi quality. As a consequence, even

though the e-learning process offers a range of features of instructional activities, it includes

certain items to deal with. Without that content, the learning process is disrupted, and the low

quality of that material leads to distraction of the education platform (Nurassyl Kerimbayev,

Akramova, & Suleimenova, 2016).

A series of recent studies has indicated that the idea of online learning could

revolutionize higher education by lowering the cost of high-quality learning experiences for

students who do not have access to conventional higher education is comparable to earlier

expectations for technology such as radio and television. If such a change is to happen, it is

already a long way off. Strong research suggests that students of poor academic experiences and

other risk factors fail the most in entirely online classes, resulting in greater demographic

differences in performance than in conventional classroom settings. The primary problem seems

to be a lack of sufficient personal contact between students and teachers, as well as within

learning to build solutions for solving these challenges. Meanwhile, closing disparities in

educational access and results necessitates extensive professional human engagement. Baum, S.,

& McPherson, M. (2019).

As by reported by Yoo, M., & Jin, S. (2020) The literature review shows that in

asynchronous online learning environments, online dialogue is becoming increasingly important.

Although previous attempts to create learning analytics dashboards to promote such discussions

have been made, the majority of these dashboards have been developed without reference to data

or visualization tools that have been shown to improve the effectiveness of online discussions.

This study described the challenges and annoyances that learners face while participating in

online conversation activities and developed a set of graphic design guidelines to help them

overcome them. The dashboards were then revised and refined in three stages: (1) expert

validation to ensure that they followed the visual guidelines and provided learners with the

information they needed; (2) usability tests to identify usability issues, collect qualitative and

quantitative data, and determine participant satisfaction; and (3) user experience evaluations to

determine how well they worked. On the basis of the findings, practical and analytical

discussions are presented, which provide a valuable base of user experience data that can be used

in future studies. Yoo, M., & Jin, S. (2020)

E-Learning was effective in both subjects and other areas, but using this new way of

teaching with metropolitan students. This new way learning should be considered as an

alternative way of learning wherein the learners excel and developed their mental and cognitive

health. This is a good indicator that E-learning is best way and effective way of learning. This

blended learning involves combining student-centred learning (active learning) and teacher-

centred learning (e-learning). Students can exercise control over time, place, path, or pace. This

model might be the new solution to solving problems with low-performing students. E-learning

programs can be used with any students even if they do not have e-learning experience.

According to Kokoç, M., Akçapınar, G., & Hasnine, M. (2021) from the perspective of

temporal learning analytics, this study looked at students' online assignment submission

behaviors. Using a variety of machine learning approaches, this research attempted to model the

time-dependent changes in university students' assignment submission behaviour. In an online

learning environment, clustering, Markov Chains, and association rule mining analysis were used

to investigate students' assignment submission behaviors. In terms of assignment submission

actions, the findings showed that students followed common trends. Furthermore, the conduct of

students in terms of assignment submission did not improve significantly during the semester.

When these findings were compared to students' academic performance at the end of the

semester, it was discovered that students' end-of-semester academic performance can be

predicted based on their assignment submission activities at the start of the semester. Our

findings can be used to diagnose and predict students who will not apply the next assignments as

the semester progresses, as well as students who will fail at the end of the semester, within the

context of precision education. As a result, learning analytics interventions can be created based

on these findings to help students avoid academic failure. The study's results are also explored in

light of the advancement of early-warning intervention programs for at-risk students as well as

precision education.

The study entitled “Suddenly fully online: A case study of a blended university course

moving online during the Covid-19 pandemic” was successfully established as described by

Meulenbroeks, R. (2020) that using a qualitative approach, this research explores how students

encounter synchronous online and offline meetings in university education. The setting is a

teacher-training course that was forced to go entirely online during the Covid-19 pandemic,

when the course was almost over. Following the completion of the course, six randomly chosen

students out of a total of 24 were interviewed in a semi-structured interview about their

experiences during the online and offline synchronous meetings. The interview was transcribed,

coded, and subjected to a second round of coding. Because of the higher levels of all forms of

student interactions (student-student, student-content, and student-teacher), and the higher level

of relatedness, students prefer offline meetings. Students, on the other hand, value the ability to

operate in small groups outside of class in an online world. The findings support the use of

blended learning. There is a discussion of the ramifications. Meulenbroeks, R. (2020).

According to a study by the Babson Survey Research Group, surveys of faculty

conducted between 2002 and 2015 revealed approval ratings for the importance and credibility

of online education ranging from 28% to 34% . Although numbers have increased and decreased

over the thirteen-year period, faculty approval was at 29% in 2015, just 1% higher than in 2002 –

showing that expectations have remained largely stagnant over the years (Allen, Seaman, Poulin,

& Straut, 2016).

In a separate survey of chief academic officers, perceptions of online learning appeared to

align with that of faculty. Leaders were asked to rate the perceived quality of learning outcomes

in online learning versus conventional in-person settings in this study. While the percentage of

leaders who rated online learning as "inferior" or "somewhat inferior" to conventional face-to-

face courses fell from 43 percent to 23 percent between 2003 and 2012, it increased to 29 percent

in 2015. (Allen, Seaman, Poulin, & Straut, 2016).

In the study of Bettinger, E., Fox, L., Loeb, S., & Taylor, E. (2017) Online college

courses are quickly expanding factor of higher education, but little study has been conducted to
Perceived Effectiveness of Online Distance Learning among Grade 12 Students at Marian College of

compare their results to regular in-person lessons. Using an instrumental variables strategy, they

discover that taking a course online rather than in-person limits student achievement and growth

in education. Grades are smaller in both the online course and prospective classes. Students are

less likely to be enrolled at university. These figures reflect the local average treatment results

for students who have access to both online and in-person options; for other students, online

classes may be the only way to access college-level courses. Bettinger, E., Fox, L., Loeb, S., &

Taylor, E. (2017).

According to Jayaratne, K., & Moore, G. (2017). The purpose of this descriptive research

analysis was to find out what students perception about online courses. According to the

findings, 90 percent of students at North Carolina State University's College of Agriculture and

Life Sciences have taken courses online. When students have the choice of taking an online class

or a face-to-face class, they choose the latter based mostly on class scheduling versatility.

Students rated instructional videos, PowerPoint presentations with filmed narratives, quizzes,

video recordings of live lectures, instructional audios, case studies, reading materials, and hands-

on projects as the eight most useful and preferred online learning experiences.Discussion boards

and forums did not pique the students' interest. Except for word puzzles, there was no gender

difference in online instructional tastes. The most preferred teaching form was described by

Perceived Effectiveness of Online Distance Learning among Grade 12 Students at Marian College of
Baliuag, Inc. 19 | P a g e

students as ‘testing with a mixture of multiple choice and essay-type query exams administered

via an online class management software package. Jayaratne, K., & Moore, G. (2017).

Previous studies have emphasized that one of the main goals of precision education is to

enhance educational outcome prediction. To address the limitations of current practice of

forecasting learning outcomes only using a single methodology, this research combined theory-

driven and data-driven approaches. Students' self-reported approaches and impressions of online

learning, as well as observational digital traces of the sequences of their online learning events in

a blended course, were used to identify online learning trends. The study looked at how the

online learning patterns produced by the two approaches differed in terms of academic

performance predictions. The theory-driven approach used self-reported data to conduct a

hierarchical cluster study, which revealed two distinct online learning patterns that were linked to

academic performance discrepancies. The data-driven method used agglomerative sequence

clustering to identify four patterns of online learning that varied not only in quantity (number of

learning events), but also in quality (the proportions of types of learning events). The online

learning pattern with the most learning activities, as well as high proportions of viewing course

content and conducting problem-solving exercises, had the best academic results, according to a

one-way ANOVA. A cross-tabulation showed a substantial relationship between self-reported

and observational online learning trends, showing consistency of evidence from both a theory-

driven and data-driven approach and intercepting the two approaches' findings. Han, F., & Ellis,

R. (2021).

A recent study by Pedaste, M., & Kasemets, M. (2021) COVID-19 travel limitations have

posed new obstacles for international science conference organizers. The majority of the

conferences would need to be converted to an entirely online format. The researchers looked at

the challenges that it posed in planning the International Conference on Advanced Learning

Technologies and Technology-Enhanced Learning, which will be held at the University of Tartu

in Estonia in July 2020. Due to time zone variations and the difficulty of communicating and

socializing people in an online event, the conference had 131 attendees from all over the world,

which presented major challenges. In this report, the researchers gathered input on conference-

organization issues from five members of the local organizing team who served in various

positions. An abductive methodology was used to interpret their interviews. The challenges were

divided into eight categories, according to the findings: importance, management, timing,

program, people, security, scaffolds, and resources. There were multiple sub-categories in each

of them. It was concluded that holding an online conference has both benefits and drawbacks as

compared to a traditional one. For example, there are less challenges related to travel, lodging,

food, and beverages, but more attention should be paid to supporting people's socialization,

especially those who live in different time zones. Uncertainty about the conference budget

proved to be another big obstacle. The conference's carbon footprint was reduced, it was more

available, and it was easier to resolve all of the participants' technical issues. Pedaste, M., &

Methodology of the Study

Methods and Techniques Used

The Researchers will utilize the use of Qualitative style of research to discover the

efficacy of Online Distance Learning for Grade 12 Students of Marian College of Baliuag, Inc.

The goal of this Qualitative Research is to accurately and systematically discover the Beliefs of

Grade 12 Students in Marian College of Baliuag,Inc. Regarding the Effectiveness of Online

Distance Learning. With the use of Interview as our Research method we are looking for the

qualities of the Answer that the Grade 12 will Provide. However, the effectiveness of qualitative

research is heavily based on the skills and abilities of researchers, while the outcomes may not be

perceived as reliable, because they mostly come from researcher’s personal judgments and

interpretations. Because it is more appropriate for small samples, it is also risky for the results of

qualitative research to be perceived as reflecting the opinions of a wider population (Bell, 2005).

Instrument of the Study

The researchers will conduct 10 to 20 minutes one-on-one in-depth interview via Google

meet with semi-structured approach. Interviews will be recorded for later transcription and

analysis. The researchers’ collect the students’ preference, feedback, and problems to evaluate

the perception of Grade 12 students from Marian College of Baliuag, Inc. on their perceived

effectiveness on Online Distance Learning. Researchers present a particular, open-ended

questions to the grade 12 student participants and record their responses.

Data Gathering Procedure

In doing qualitative research there are a variety of methods of data collection in this

research, including observations, textual analysis (from books or recent study) but the

researchers chose an interview. This data collection is the most effective for qualitative research.

A letter of consent will be given to the Principal Marian college of Baliuag Inc. Senior High

School Department, to be informed about the research being conducted by the researchers. After

receiving an approval, the researchers will select a student from different sections from grade 12,

to ensure that they have enough data. The interview will approximately end from 10 to 20

minutes which will give the participants a sufficient amount of time to discuss their preference

and experiences. Interviews will be recorded. At the end of the interview, participants will be
