RQ1: What are the experiences of students with low academic self-esteem in the new
learning modality?

1. Do you experience low self-esteem in the new learning modality?

Distant Learning modality or the new learning modality is hard for me because some
of the activities need to instruct in person or should i say i don't have an opportunity to
ask about the worksheet when it comes to the new learning modality

● Did you already have these experiences even before the new learning modality?
 Yes when i was in junior high school I'm really bad in understanding math
problems so i need a guidance of a teacher to explain again the equation

● Why do you think it developed in you?

I think it's because mostly i have to cope up with the task dependently without asking
other person. However i have to improved my coping skills in learning the activity by my
self whether it's hard to handle the question.

2. What particular experience that made you develop and have low academic self-esteem?
When seeing my classmates improving quickly in a short period of time while i have a
difficultly of understanding all the information about the module
● Was this particular experience difficult for
Unhappy upbringing where parent were excessively critical are just a few of the many
factors of poor self-esteem. In school, poor academic achievement leads to a lack of
confidence. An ongoing stressful life situation, such as a broken relationship or financial
difficulties can lead to develop low - steem

● How did this experience affect you?

This experience made me think that we have to be hard on ourself because some of
your love one's can't be there of you all the time when your breaking down.
3. What is the most difficult part or challenging situation you have experienced as a student
with low self-esteem in the new learning modality?
for me the difficult part situation in having a low self-esteem in a new learning modality
simply because i have hard time understanding some things and the pressure keeps
bugging me that i have to improved as soon as possible to make my life more easier. And
most importantly i had lack of interest in understanding or motivation should i say when
you've been on a breakdown
● Why did you find it difficult

Maybe you only need to change a few things so that you too, can start blooming. One of
the most common reasons students find it difficult to study, is because of a lack of
concentration. Once you start studying it is important to stay focused and not let your
thoughts wander.

● Did you face that challenging situation alone or with someone’s help?
sometimes my friends save me when breaking down. But i have to be hard on my self
because nobody is permanent in your life i have to dealt it by my self without someone's
help.
RQ2: How do students with low academic self-esteem cope with the challenges in the
new learning modality?

1. Do you have any way to manage or deal with the challenges in the new learning modality?
I have to try search some ideas or article that are connected to the topic
● If so, what are these coping mechanisms?
Try searching some ideas on Internet with the reliable sources and you have to read it
again to understand what's the answer in the problem
 ● Did these coping mechanisms really help you to deal with those challenges?
i could say yes to me

2. Is there someone who helped you cope with the challenges in the new learning modality?
yes
● How did they help you?
They send some sources or articles that is connected to the module and some of them
are delivering a right answer
