Objective/s of the study:
The objective of the study is to identify the challenges faced by
Educare College Inc. pupils in online distance learning.
Finding/s:
The findings of the study is that almost all of the respondents
sought the help from their parents, grandparents, siblings, or
other family members during online classes, especially in
manipulating their gadgets and in answering their activities. If a
family member is not available to help, the activity is postponed
or set aside until someone is available to help. This is a real and
authentic scenario in accomplishing given homework and
activities. If nobody can assist the child, the tendency is to either
learn or study independently or to just depend on others which
would cause laziness and demotivation. On the other hand, in
order to avoid unnecessary disturbances during the online class,
most of them prepare what they need such as paper, pen, colors,
and books so that when the teacher asks them to get pen and
paper for example, they are readily available. A few mentioned
parents taking charge of everything so that the pupils will not
encounter any problem during the online class. This can confirm
the previous answer of the respondents that parents cannot work
full time because they really have to attend to their children.
Conclusion:
In conclusion, Online Distance Learning is an alternative to the
traditional face-to-face learning since the pandemic emerged in
the Philippines. Like other educational institutions, Educare
College Inc., has opted for online learning in continuing
education. While ODL has advantages, primary pupils at
Educare encountered challenges during their online learning.
These challenges include poor internet connection, poor
comprehension and retention, lack of concentration, motivation,
interaction and support. Focusing on the pupil’s ultimate goal in
education should be a priority despite all the challenges online
distance learning may bring.
Recommendation/s:
•
In order to reduce the effect of these challenges,
students together with parents and teachers, should work
together.
•
Pupils and parents should stay in touch with their
teachers and inform them regarding their situations and
conditions.
•
Talking on the phone with classmates or to the teacher
for missed lessons and notes will also be helpful.
•
Staying in touch with classmates and teachers can
motivate students.
•
Students should also try to identify a quiet time and
place in their house to complete their coursework, and if
possible, building a schedule and sharing it to the
members of the house so that they know when is the
time for online class.
•
In case support is unavailable, pupils should look for
answers to questions online and watch tutorial videos
for items that require deeper understanding.
Your insight:
Online learning is an alternative to face-to-face classes, but it is
also a challenge for us students. There is the possibility of power
shortages, a lack of and poor internet connection, and the amount
of radiation we can obtain from simply looking at a screen
(which leads to eyesight problems). These are occurring because
of the financial issues that most of us are experiencing because
of the pandemic. Not everyone can afford to upgrade their
devices and pay the additional fees associated with electricity
use. We must be considerate if a student is frequently absent or
tardy, perhaps passing an activity late. Because we have no idea
what exactly their situation is or problem they're experiencing on
that day. Also, not all students are capable of learning online on
their own, so allowing students to seek assistance from their
parents, friends, or other family members for their online classes,
particularly in operating their devices and answering their
modules, is advantageous to them. On that way, the children will
learn even more, because someone will guide them to answer the
activity, not a guide who will take care of everything so that
pupils have no problem at all.
