 ABSTRACT

Distance learning is the new normal way of studying by all students amidst this pandemic.

Through this kind of studying lot of students were suffering from this new normal set up

and find difficulty in learning, it also affects mental health because of pressure and stress

because they’re going to catch up with deadlines rather than learning. Students are now

relying on internet sources for their modules. Online classes are no easier than classes

offered in the traditional classroom setting and, in some cases, it can even be more difficult.

There are several reasons for this that affects the social relationship among the students

because of distance learning. Online learning is more on self-motivation which certainly

the most effective option for students to pursue their studies, and it is also the best way to

keep safe in the battle of this pandemic even the social relationship of students was affected.

CHAPTER I

Background of the Study

Online learning and teaching are the new education norm approach that everyone follows

due to the sudden transitioning because of the pandemic. Amidst the COVID-19 pandemic,

an immense impact on the educational system in the Philippines is evident. Various

downfalls of most parts in the modality of teaching and learning shed light (United Nations,

2020). At this point of risk, several concerns from the citizens arise as the class opening

was decided to push through. Also, knowing that this situation puts society in a state of

vulnerability. With the transition, this also puts socialization and physical interaction

among teachers and learners inadequately acknowledged in a distance learning

environment (Lesniak & Hodes, 2000); hence shows an effect on the social relationship of

students. In today’s era of covid-19 pandemic many students are missing out on the chance

to learn and graduate due to lack of adequate socialization with their colleagues and

teachers. There may be modalities to choose from, but it is still not enough for students to

focus on their students to focus on their studies without formal communication.
