CHAPTER 1 PROBLEM AND ITS SETTING INTRODUCTION In the past two years, Educational life worldwide has been shaken by the closure of schools due to the outbreak of the Coronavirus Pandemic. The effects have been felt both teachers and students have adapted to the constraints imposed by new online form of education. The present study focuses exclusively on the beneficiaries of the educational process and out their desire to return to the traditional form of educational (Gherheș et al., 2021). According to a survey, nearly three-quarters of students (73 percent) said they would prefer to take some of their courses fully online post-pandemic. Research shows that there are really students who prefers to learn via online or distance learning. Moreover, In face-to-face learning, students are held accountable for their progress at the class’s specific meeting date and time. Face-to-face learning ensures a better understanding and recollection of lesson content and gives class members a chance to bond with one another (Face to Face learning, ND). It’s important for students to find a learning model that suits them. This can be a tool towards success as students will be more motivated to study. Especially to those who have been affected by the change during the Lockdown due to COVID 19 virus. There are various reasons to expect that students might prefer at least some aspects of online learning to traditional classes. Previous researchers have suggested that in contrast to the faster, real-time pace of face-to-face classes, the extra time available for online activities might allow students to think about course material more critically and reflectively, leading to deeper understanding of the course content. Others have suggested that the less confrontational or personal nature of e-learning might encourage shyer students to engage more, or to feel less pressure than in face-to-face interactions (Kemp & Grieve, 2014). The advent of online education has made ’t possible for students with busy lives and limited flexibility to obtain a quality education. As opposed to traditional classroom teaching, Web-based instruction has made it possible to offer classes worldwide through a single Internet connection. Although it boasts several advantages over traditional education, online instruction still has its drawbacks, including limited communal synergies. Still, online education seems to be the path many students are taking to secure a degree. Many Filipino children struggled to study at home during the COVID-19 pandemic due to lack of motivation as well as social media and gaming distractions, according to research. Based on the study by Psychosocial Support and Children’s Rights Resource Center (PSTCRRC) commissioned by Save the Children Philippines, 33% of the student-respondents do not perceive the home as a conducive environment for learning compared to their schools. Mutual help is the top coping strategy among participants. Children tend to seek help from parents and other relatives for their modules, while adolescents are likely to seek help from their friends/classmates and teachers. Data from Save the Children also bared that “almost all” of the participants prefer face-to-face classes and want to go back to school. Based on the survey, 86% from the National Capital Region, 94% from Luzon, 97% from Visayas, and 97% from Mindanao want face to face classes to resume ( Embudo, 2021).
