Thesis Abstract

This research study examines the Impact of Online Learning in Nursing Students towards

compulsory digital and distance learning course amid Coronavirus (COVID-19). Tertiary Level

were surveyed to find their perspectives about Online Education in Philippines. The findings of

the study highlighted that Online Learning cannot produce desired results in underdeveloped

countries like Philippines, where a vast majority of students are unable to access the internet due

to technical as well as monetary issues. The lack of face-to-face interaction with the instructor,

response time and absence of traditional classroom socialization were among some other issues

highlighted by Nursing Students.

 Introduction

Whole educational system of tertiary level has been collapsed during the lockdown period of the

novel coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) in Philippines and across the globe. This study is a

portrayal of online learning modes adopted by the Student Nurses in St. Anthony College of

Roxas City for the learning process and subsequent semester examinations. It looks forward to

an intellectually enriched opportunity for further future academic decision-making during any

adversity. The intended purpose of this study seeks to address the required essentialities of online

learning and online skills in education amid the COVID-19 pandemic and how can existing

resources of St. Anthony College of Roxas City effectively transform formal education into

online education with the help of virtual classes and other pivotal online tools in this continually

shifting educational landscape. This paper employs qualitative approach to study the perceptions

of Nursing Students on Online Learning Modes. The value of this paper is to draw a holistic

picture of ongoing online learning activities, skills and discussions during the lockdown period

including establishing the linkage between change management process and online learning

process in educational system amid the COVID-19 outbreak so as to overcome the persisting

academic disturbance and consequently ensure the resumption of educational activities and

discourses as a normal course of procedure in the education system.

The COVID-19 is a highly infectious disease or illness caused by severe acute respiratory

syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2), originated in Wuhan city of China, has already taken

on pandemic proportions, affecting across all the continents (Remuzi, 2020), mostly spread

among individuals during close contact now resulting in millions of death. COVID-19 is referred

as pandemic due to its severity and fierceness also as the greatest global health crisis since after

centuries in human civilization. The onset of the novel coronavirus made everything from world
economies to social rituals (Schulten, 2020) devastated. For that reason, DOLE (Department of

Labor and Employment) estimated that 10 million jobs could be lost. One of the most preferred

ways to subdue the effect of this crisis is to enact the COVID-19 containment measures in their

respective territories. Nowadays lockdown is a common buzzword that has been mulled over by

the people during corona pandemic. In fact, lockdown is a state of the emergency protocol

implemented by the competent authorities (in this case it is central and state governments) to

restrict people from leaving their place of living resulting in mass quarantines and stay-at-home

across the world since March 2020. To get control over COVID-19 pandemic is possible to a

greater extent with people's unbridled determination of the stringent precautionary measures such

as maintaining social distancing, following medically instructed quarantine process and

embracing hygiene and sanitation (Khachfe et al., 2020).

Approximately over 24 million Filipino Students are not in school and this pandemic made this

situation further worst. As the COVID-19 pandemic spreads, there has been an increasing move

towards teaching online because of shutting down of schools, colleges and universities for an

indefinite time as the only option left (Martinez, 2020). Therefore, this is the time to gravely

rethink, revamp and redesign our education system in much demanding need of unprecedented

current situation. Informal and non-formal education is also tremendously affected. However, it

is a well-established assumption that no pedagogical approach can replace the peak position of

formal education due to having teacher-taught direct interaction. But, the aftermath of COVID-

19 crisis, online education became a pedagogical shift from traditional method to the modern

approach of teaching-learning from classroom to Zoom, from personal to virtual and from

seminars to webinars. Previously, e-learning, distance education and correspondence courses

were popularly considered as the part of non-formal education, but as of now, it seems that it

would gradually replace the formal education system if the circumstances enduringly persist over
the time. Some of the most popular online communication platforms that would change the

destination and direction of the whole education system across the world in post-COVID-19

circumstances are Google Classroom, Zoom and Edmodo seems relevant as the current scenario

tries to keep our Students away from the traditional formal education system and provide an

opportunity to flourish on their curiosity.

Lederman (2020) justly stated that due to the COVID-19 crisis teachers and students both find

themselves in the situation where they felt compelled to embrace the digital academic experience

as the summum bonum of the online teaching-learning process. Through digital intelligence (DQ

Institute, 2019) teachers can cater Students’ digital skills which are on the brink of cyber risk

into the educational opportunities to get success in future ventures especially in this pandemic

where Students are wholly dependent on online learning. The coronavirus is upending life

(EdSource, 2020) that caused an enduring threat to our educational institution in tertiary level

and day by day exacerbated the teaching-learning. Apart from the philanthropic efforts, some

people hoped to parlay their enterprising skills into profit-making opportunities.

For any innovative changes, external and internal, both forces are held responsible as Lewin

(1958) discussed the three-step process (unfreezing → changing → refreezing) in his change

management theory, which delineates the inherent process of any change. Unfreezing of

traditional teaching-learning occurred during unforeseen circumstances out of COVID-19, which

brought to the shift into online teaching because of anticipated uncertainties in pursuing the

traditional mode. As of today's scene, it is quite impossible to take classes in regular mode amid

the COVID-19 outbreak in which to maintain the social distancing is of paramount importance;

hence undoubtedly online teaching mode became a necessity that brought an organization and
individual both in a unfreeze phase. Unfreezing step provided an opportunity for motivation and

readiness among system and stakeholders (Siegal et al., 1996).

Besides, online teaching-learning mode is providing the feeling of psychological safety to

learning community in COVID-19 afflicting period. The second step is about changing process

under which two options are left either to adopt a new online mode in practice in other

institutions elsewhere or to innovate one's own. The research is always for a better

implementable model. Here, notably, change is not an event but a dynamic process as a break in

continuity. For any result-oriented change, we need to have a time suited outlook and a new

mindset (Bridges, 1991) for online teaching mode at an individual and organizational level to

supplement the transition phase.

After five months of online experiences, a paradigm shift has occurred with online teaching,

gaining prominence to have \near permanence even after COVID-19 pandemic leading to

refreezing. Refreezing step is inevitable for integrating technology in our teaching-learning

process that enables us to teach students with the methods in which they would not only feel

comfortable but also, they can match the demands of technology in 21st century.

Statement of the Problem

Scope and Limitation of the Study

This study focuses on the Impact of Online Learning on Educational System Among Nursing

Students in St. Anthony College of Roxas City during COVID-19 Pandemic. The Data

Collection will be conducted to 100 randomly selected Nursing Students in St. Anthony College

of Roxas City School S/Y 2019-2010 who will represent the population.

This study will cover problems encounter of Nursing Students regarding to their Nursing Skills

that is supposed to do in Skills Laboratory. Each of the respondents is given the same

questionnaire to answer. The results of this study will be applicable only to the respondents of

this study and will not be used as a measure to the impact of online learning in Nursing Students
to the those who do not belong to the population of this Study. The main source of data will be

the questionnaire which is prepared by the Researchers.

Definition of Terms

E- Learning - The term refers to various methods of technology-enabled learning systems,

supported by the use of information-communication technologies(Yang, 2020). In this study, it

will be used to examine the relation of nursing students towards E-Learning.

Online Learning - A term to describe an emerging approach to learn at students’ own premise

through advanced information-communication technologies (such as Blackboard, Moodle,

YouTube, Virtual Reality) either asynchronously or synchronously (Yang, 2020). In this study,

the structure of online learning expanded the nursing students' use of technology and surpassed

the technology used in the students' traditional classroom settings.

Online Learning Capacity – means how well an individual thinks. It involves, memory, attention

span and ability to sequence ideas in e-learning. In this study, this will be measure the level of

capacity of nursing students in online learning
