 Introduction

Covid-19 really hit our world hard. It affected the daily lives of people all around the
world. The agriculture, economy, education, and many more. One of the precautionary move
done by the government to lessen and defeat this virus was going to a total lockdown and no face
to face contact. As a student, the pandemic mostly affected our education, on how we will learn
and how the teacher will give off knowledge to the students.
The Department of Education of the Philippines and with the help of all the teacher
around the country they found a solution on how education can be delivered to the students even
though they are at home, without having face to face contact. Online learning was one of the
solution that Deped have implemented to this school year for us teachers, students and other
people to avoid contact with each other. Online learning is basically using the internet or the
worldwide web (www.) to deliver the education needed by the students. There are many
platforms on the internet that can be used for this type of solution, and most of the schools in the
Philippines have decided to use Google classroom and Google meet as well as our school, as it is
so simple to use and very student friendly platform to deliver education.
The researchers chose to conduct a study on how efficient online class to the students,
specifically to grade 12 students of Honorato C. Perez Sr. Memorial Science High school. This
quantitative research study will explore the experience of the grade 12 students of HCPSMSHS
this school year.  Majority of the grade 12 students chose the Online class for this reason the
researchers decided to conduct this study if the online classes are beneficial or efficient to the
students. Since we are at the middle of the pandemic, the researchers wants to know how
efficient online class can be to the students.

In figure 1 it explains that stress is sometimes a variable on online classes so it may affect the
performance of a child on online classes, In figure 2 some houses have household chores that
needs to be done that maybe time consuming and may affect online classes’ efficiency. And
lastly Figure 3 other distractions that are being faced by students while they are in online classes.
The researchers’ aim to find out how efficient is the online classes are for the students, and
knowing the variables that affected them.

General Procedures (Level 2)

The researchers used descriptive method of research and The research method that the

researchers utilized are the Surveys or Questionnaires in identifying the how efficient online

class is to grade 12 students of HCPSMSHS.

According to Hammond (2018), descriptive research examines a phenomena, group of

people, idea or theory with a particular focus on facts and conditions of the subject. With the

help of this method the researchers were able to describe and observe the students' behavior on

how they manage their time between school works and other factors that pertains to the said
topic of the study without affecting and influencing them at any way by just using a question

form. It aimed to answer what behavior do the students show. It allowed the researchers to

measure the significance of the results on the overall population being studied.

Sampling Procedure and Samples (Level2)

The participants or respondents were the senior high school students from grade12 STEM

(Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics) and grade 12 ABM (Accountancy,

Business and Management) of Honorato C. Perez Sr., Memorial Science High School.

According to Gay (1976), the acceptable sample size for Descriptive research is 10-20%.

The researchers used the 10% of 180 the students from among the five sections of online classes

as respondents so the sample size was 18. The participants were selected by a Probability

Sampling called Stratified Random Sampling. According to Hayes (2019), Stratified random

sampling is a method of sampling that involves the division of a population into smaller sub-

groups known as strata. The researchers divided the target sample equally to the 5 sections of the

school mentioned.

Data Collection Techniques and Procedure (Level 2)

The estimating gadget utilized is the Survey or Questionnaire. It is a helpful strategy that can be

used in huge places yet costs low. A portion of the benefits of overviews is that respondents can

address inquiries individually, and may answer all the more genuinely as surveys give obscurity

(regardless of whether genuine or what they saw). And keeping in mind that the reactions might

be one-sided with respect to the member, they are liberated from the gatherer's inclination.
Results and Discussion Level 1)

Leeuwenhoek 5 respondents
Pasteur 5 respondents
Zillionaire 5 respondents
Maxwell 5 respondents
Rutherford 5 respondents
The figure above shows how many students have answer the researchers survey, That would be 5
respondents from Leeuwenhoek, 5 from Pasteur, 5 from Zillionaire, 5 from Maxwell, and 5 from
rutherford.

The figure above shows the scaling of the respondents that have answered the researchers’ survey, It
was equally distributed 20% each.
Out of 25, 18 students have answered that they have issues with online class. The very top issue that is going on in
their online class is technical difficulties with 7 answers. Next issue to that is teachers have a hard time teaching
the lesson properly with 4 answers. Another issue is that the online class now has insufficient time to teach with 3
answers. The very least answered issue with online class are many school works and emotional problem with both
having 2 answers.
The figure above shows how many students have found a solution for their issues with the online class.
Out of 18 students who answered that they have an issue with their online class 14 answered yes and 4
answered No. This shows that there are still students who face a very hard time when they go to their
respective online classes.

This figure above show the distribution of answers of students on what solutions they used to help fix
the issue that they were facing. As this part of the survey is a checkbox type meaning a responder can
have 1 or more answer on this question. It is determined that self study is the most efficient way to help
with the issue with the online class. Next to it is researching or surfing the internet. As we all know that
the internet can answer most of our question, hence it is expected that it is used often by students to
help with their studies. Also, watching youtube videos have also become a very good help to students.
With the very least count in the table, the students also answered that their solution for their problem is
academic freeze, finding a place with good reception and finding something to cheer them on.
The figure above shows how efficient online classes would be, 44% percent of the respondents
answered slightly efficient, also 44% percent of the respondents answered efficient, while 8% of the
respondents answered very efficient and the remaining percentage answered inefficient.

Conclusions and Recommendations (Level 1)

Conclusions (Level 2)
CONCLUSION

Online classes is one amongst the new innovative study ways that are introduced within
the pedagogy field. Within the previous couple of years, there has been an excellent shift in the
coaching methods. Students will currently learn remotely using the web and computers. Online
classes comes in several forms and has been developing with the introduction of recent
technologies. Most of the universities, high schools and alternative establishments in the world
have all instituted this way of learning and therefore the student population in the online class is
increasing fast. There has been loads of analysis on the impacts of online education as compared
to the standard schoolroom education.
This study aimed to know how efficient online class is to students during this pandemic,
also the factors that affect them academically, psychologically and physically for online class to
be inefficient to the students. The data gathered will be used to help the students and other people
in terms of online class to have a better learning experience, more quality education and better
knowledge in using certain apps or platforms used in online class. It sought answers to the
profile of the respondents, the common difficulties and problems during online classes, and
which of these habits are most answered and least answered by the respondents.
The study was conducted within the online class of grade 12 students of Honorato C.
Perez Sr. Memorial Science High School during November 2020 to February 2021. It mainly
identified the common difficulties and problems of the grade 12 online class students of
HCPSMSHS. The participants or respondents were the online class of grade 12 students STEM
and ABM. The researcher used approximately 14% of the 180 students as respondents so the
sample size was 25 which were divided equally to 5 sections.
The researcher were able to obtain the results by analyzing and tallying the answers of
the respondents. The following are the conclusions drawn from the results of the study:
1. The percentage of respondents that experience difficulties through online class are 72%
while the remaining 28% doesn’t experience any difficulties towards the use of online
class. Out of 25 respondents, 72% or 18 responded yes and 28% or 7 responded no.
 2. The percentage of respondents that found a solution to their difficulties are 77.78% while
22.22% didn’t find any solution to fix their problem. Out of 18 respondents that have
said that they face difficulties, 77.78% or 14 responded yes and 22.22% or 4 responded
no
3. The common solution of the grade 12 students to fix their problems or difficulties are by
self- studying, surfing the internet/ researching, academic freeze, watching You tube
videos, finding something that makes yourself happy, and going to places where there is
faster internet speed.
The most answered through this question is self-study while the least answered are
academic freeze, finding something that makes yourself happy and going to places where
there is faster internet speed.
4. The respondents rated the online class based on their experience using a scale, the scale
consist of 4 choices; very efficient, efficient, slightly efficient, inefficient. Based on the
respondent’s experiences, the online classes are efficient for the reason that out of 25
respondents 11 answered it was very efficient and it is tied with efficient. So out of 25
respondents, 22 are satisfied with the online classes despite having problems and
difficulties while 2 respondents answered slightly efficient and 1 respondent answered
that the online class were inefficient .

Recommendations (Level 2)
Recommendation
In line with the findings of the study, the conclusion reached, and their various
implications, the following recommendations are hereby made;

1. The future researchers should include the grade levels from grade 7 to grade 11.
2. The future researchers should gather the experiences of students during face to face
classes.
3. Then, compare the experiences of students from face to face classes to the experiences
gathered in online classes.
