RELATED STUDY
Based from the study written by Tang (2020) examined the efficacy of different online
teaching modes among engineering students using a questionnaire, the results revealed that
the students were dissatisfied which online learning in general, particularly in the aspect of
communication and question and answer modes. Nonetheless, the combined model of online
teaching with flipped classrooms improved students’ attention academic performance and
course evaluation. A parallel study was undertaken taken by Hew, who transformed
conventional flipped classrooms into fully online flipped classes throughs a cloud-based video
conferencing app. Their finding suggested that these two types of learning environments were
equally effective. They also offered ways on how to effectively adopt video conferencing-
assisted online flipped classrooms unlike the two studies, Suryaman looked into how learning
occurred at home during pandemic. Their finding showed that the students faced many
obstacles in a home learning environment such as lack of mastery of technology, high interest
cost and limited interaction/socialization between and among students. In a related study
investigated how lockdown impacts the students’ learning performance. Their finding revealed
that the lockdown made significant disruptions in students learning experience. The students
also reported some challenges that they faced during online classes. These include anxiety,
depression, poor internet service, and uncomfortable learning environment, which were
aggravated when students are marginalized and from remote areas .

This study is about the difficulties of students in online/distance learning

and not satisfied with it so this study can be used to find out the challenges of
each student such as poor internet access, low financial status or lack of
knowledge of technologies and the researchers will have any suggestion. They
attributed these results to students’ continues learning strategies which in rush, improved their
learning efficiency.

RELATED LITERATURE
Based from the article by Mary Kreitz (n/d) school provides structure and routine to the
lives of students. Following routine of getting up at a certain time, going to classes at specific
times and coming home at certain time provides a sense of normalcy in their lives. The
predictability of knowing third math class follows second period history class allows students’
brains to focus on academic content. Expectations for behavior and academic performance are
known and familiar. When schools closed earlier this month students lost this structure and
routine. Many were sent home with packets of assignment to complete but it is up to them to
decide when and in what order they will do the assignments. For most students it is not just
about academics, it is also about social interaction. Many friendships started by sitting next to
each other in class. The highlight of a students day might be walking down a certain hallway
between fifth ang sixth period because that is when she can reliably expect to see the person
has a rush on. Groups of friends eat lunch together everyday. One the most stressful aspects of
the current situation is not knowing. We don’t know who has been or will be infected. We don’t
know who might be a carrier, spreading the virus to others without even knowing it. We don’t
know when schools business will re-open. We don’t know what the long-term effects of this
pandemic will be. Facing so may unknown heightens anxiety. Some amount of fear and worry is
a normal reaction to this abnormal situation
In this article, students have difficulty studying due to the closure of schools, they will not
only have difficulty academically but also in social interactions because you have to stay at
home and you can also be away from your friends as well as studying while you are indoors you
will have difficulty studying due to distractions such as video games, social media as well as
unnecessary noise. This article can help the current researchers in understanding the difficulties
of students and in recommending ways to overcome them.
