plan. Implementing new normal education changes everything, even the tool needed to teach and
the way of teaching like TV, radio, Laptop and cellphone are being change. Because of dilemma
brought by COVID-19 Pandemic, New Normal Education is being implemented but this new
normal education brought another dilemma and that is Mental Health problems like Depression,
Anxiety, Stress. These mental health problems are being encountered by students, however even
the students experiencing adverse level of mental Health, they are still managed to have a high
academic achievement, but students' mental health should be healthy especially in the middle of
pandemic, to help them to cope in a life problem (Jopet Vincent B. Medalla, 2021). Not only the
Mental Health is the problem. Many teachers are still unfamiliar with the internet related
activities and technological products such as Computer. They need to take time to adapt this type
of learning system. They need to be train so they can know the use of tools for learning materials
and online learning management. In research of (etc., 2014) It is essential in the job of a teacher
to motivate their child during Pandemic. They need to teach students, encourage them to
prioritize education and see what unseen in the world.

RELATED STUDIES

or learning and face to face teaching/learning. In the result they found out that 34 (41%) said that
there was a link between online learning and improved outcomes while 17 (18%) are favored in
face to face and 37(41%) said there is no significant difference. Studies shown all students that
have access in Internet, have technical skills, Willing to learn and have discipline in time
management are the students who will succeed in Online education. And In order to provide
more education options and enhance education innovation, Online education will continue
playing an important role in educational sector (Fiona Fui-Hoon Nah, 2020). On the study of
(Tus et... al 2021) They found out that the parents are still adapting their involvement in school
while the academic performance of a students at school was satisfactory. This study showed that
the students doing well in their academic performances despite of work from home arrangement,
The teachers are feel connected to school while checking the outputs and performance of their
students. Based on their study (Filomena T. Dayagbil, 2021) they found out that in the midst of
lockdown the teachers need to adapt the new way for teaching and learning design guided by
policies implemented. And because of lack of access in internet a lot of students have a difficulty
in complying their learning activities or outputs and requirements. Because of laziness, high
pressure to get a higher grade and failed scores a lot of students paying money to the academic
servers to answer their outputs. The result of the study, there is low quality of education in the
country and poor integrity of some students. The performance of the students increased during
the new normal education. The low achieving students shows that they have a greater
improvement in academic performance than the high achieving students. According on the study
of (Spitzer, 2021). The students who used smartphones and tablet, or the one who had lack of
access in technology and internet are the one who will experience more barriers or problems to
online learning in the future.
