Based on the findings, the researchers consolidated these recommendations for
the following entities:
1. Administrator and faculty, utilize the findings of this study as grounds for
assimilation and integration of distance learning with traditional on-campus
learning. Distance learning can be a viable alternative to traditional on-campus
learning. It can also provide a gateway of hope and opportunity to those who are
marginalized and afar that are interested in the Engineering program of the
University.
2. Parents, can use the findings in this paper to justify the need to prioritize the
subscription of quality internet connection for the improvement of the students’
academic performance.
3. Department of Information and Communications (DICT) and the Commission on
Higher Education (CHED), use this study as a basis for a nationwide upgrade of
telecommunication systems in consonance to the goal of R.A. 10931 or the
Universal Access to Quality Tertiary Education Act. An improved
telecommunication system specifically broadband means giving each student an
equal footing and opportunity as the others leaving no student behind.
To further improve the research study, the following are highly recommended:
1. Factors such as age, income level of parents, educational attainment of the
parents, race, and other essential demographic profiles should also be
considered in determining the factors that may affect academic performance of
students in distance learning.
2. Broadening the target population and having larger sample size should also be
considered to be able to generalize the results in a larger scope; Students from
different courses should also be considered as the target population of the study.
3. Further statistical analysis of correlation between geographic location and
internet connection to academic performance should be conducted to know and
establish relationships between these factors.
