more variables using a variety of research methods. Unlike

experimental study, the researcher does not influence or alter the

variables; instead, they are observed and measured.

CONCLUSION

E-Learning is a great resource for helping introverted

students become more comfortable in the classroom and become

more confident in themselves. However, introvert students in sampled

school in Quezon City faces many experience and has affected their

academic performance. Experiencing struggles while studying gives

students low motivation, distraction, difficulty of concentrating and

lack of time management. Base on the information that we,

researchers gathered, it is advisable that Introvert needs more

assistance and understanding from their peers, acquaintance or even

in the society that they're living in. Our research study conveys

awareness and enlightenment about introversion. As some people

believed that introverts are just shy so they are isolating themselves,

but in our research, we proved that there are many factors and

various causes why they prefer to have some time alone.

RECOMMENDATION

If a study like this would be conducted, the group would

recommend other researchers use larger sample sizes. This would

help produce a more accurate result as more samples are used, thus

getting an input for a larger amount of the population. This also helps

in hypothesis testing. As the result of significance would be more

accurate. Additionally, the researchers would recommend others to

provide a more in-depth questionnaire so as to gain a more in-depth

input about the result. Also, based on the findings and conclusion

presented, the following recommendations are suggested:

INTROVERT PERSON/STUDENT

The researchers recommend that the introvert students must

understand what particularly overstimulates to them, for instance

being interrupted and asked to make decisions while you're

concentrating, noisy environments, turning on and off from being in

social mode, group socializing or group meetings, and replying to

people on social media.
