Introduction
proportion of the world’s population, usually over the course of several months.
Pandemics arise from epidemics, which are outbreaks of disease confined to one part of
the world, such as a single country. Pandemics, especially those involving influenza,
disease activity, may be followed by another period of high disease prevalence. Infectious
The COVID-19 Pandemic started 2 years ago. It created the largest disruption of
online learning; it affects billions of people all over the world. The COVID-19 Pandemic
has triggered new ways of learning. When the COVID-19 Pandemic started, all of the
students are expecting to be back in school in just a week and it started to go on and on
until today that it has been 2 years since the COVID-19 Pandemic started. When the
online learning began, many students are having difficulties on their class and on how
they can attend their class. Not all of us have the same lifestyle, not all of us have internet
and electronic devices at home. There are some students who have committed suicides
just because they cannot pass their module on time, and they cannot attend their class
because they do not have internet or electronic devices at home. We live in a world of
2
technology these days. Technology has changed our lives right away. It has advantages
and disadvantages.
Online Learning has its own set of positives and negatives, understanding the
positives and negatives will help the teachers on how their discussions will be effective in
these days. Teachers have their own different ways on how they can make their class
enjoyable and exciting. One of the advantages of Online Learning is the efficiency, it offers
teachers an efficient way on delivering lessons to the students. And, one of the
disadvantages of online learning is the inability to focus on screen. Most of the students,
one of the biggest challenges to them is the struggle on focusing many hours on screen.
There is also a big chance for students to be distracted easily by social media or any
other sites. During this time, each of us has trials and tribulations that we face and
overcome. This Covid-19 pandemic has caused a variety of problems, difficulties, and
challenges. Some people can no longer cope and end their lives because of lack of food,
because of the stress they get and can't survive each day because they cannot work due
of different circumstances and protocols. Today, the pandemic is more than a year
already and online learning is still going on in different places in the Philippines but not
anymore in the other countries. Many are still getting positive with the virus, and health
workers continue to expand the mind of the people so that they can be vaccinated to
Education is a must but at this time of the pandemic, safety and good health are
what we need. And in today's era of the proliferation of various technologies, the internet
is also one of the human needs, so with their help, online learning has spread or
implemented so that students can learn more than just module learning. In this case,
3
students can be flexible with their learning and will be guided by their teachers virtually.
But also, technology, social media and internet can be a hindrance to the students,
Nowadays, we all are staying in our homes due to the lockdown policy
implemented by the government. However, learning should not halt. Different countries
worldwide have introduced various answers during the pandemic to continue the
education process - the introduction of distance learning. These are online learning
platforms such as google, TV broadcasts, guidelines, resources, video lectures and online
The word "pandemic" comes from the Greek "pan-", "all" + "demos," "people
or population" = "pandemos" = "all the people." A pandemic affects all (nearly all) of the
people. By contrast, "epi-" means "upon." An epidemic is visited upon the people. And
"en-" means "in." An endemic is in the people. An epidemic (a sudden outbreak) that
becomes very widespread and affects a whole region, a continent, or the world due to a
susceptible population.
individuals at the same time. A pandemic is a kind of epidemic: one which has spread
across a wider geographic range than an epidemic, and which has affected a significant
portion of the population. An outbreak is “a sudden rise in the incidence of a disease” and

broadens still further, and affects a significant portion of the population, the disease may
be characterized as a pandemic.
Intermittent outbreaks of infectious diseases have had profound and lasting effects
on societies throughout history. Those events have powerfully shaped the economic,
political, and social aspects of human civilization, with their effects often lasting for
centuries. Epidemic outbreaks have defined some of the basic tenets of modern
Since the initial transmission of the COVID-19 our country is facing a really hard situation
that even some of the students are requesting an academic freeze. According to them
there are many hindrances in learning that the students may face like the temptation of
social media, online games, noise, etc. Philippines is one of the 100 poorest country in
the world. The country is not yet ready for this kind of new mode of learning and not all
students are able to access wi-fi’s, mobile phones, laptops and computer’s this can affect

independence and autonomy of the learner, industrialization of teaching, and interaction
and communication. The term ‘distance education’ covers the various forms of study at
all levels which are not under the continuous, immediate supervision of tutors present
with their students in lecture rooms or on the same premises, but which, nevertheless,
benefit from the planning, guidance and tuition of a tutorial organization (Holmberg, 1977,
p. 9). Distance education implies that the majority of educational communication between
(among) teacher and student(s) occurs non contiguously. It must involve two-way
communication between (among) teacher and student(s) for the purpose of facilitating
and supporting the educational process. It uses technology to mediate the necessary two-
way communication (Garrison and Shale, 1987, p. 11). Since the early 1900’s, distance
education has been incorporated into the practices of many institutions, as has the
traveling of faculty to meet students off campus to conduct educational instruction (Moore,
1990). According to Meyer (2002), in order to help alleviate the demands of travel for
faculty and students, institutions began utilizing available technologies, such as audio
efforts. These types of delivery methods and media continued to be used, as distance
education began to grow as a form of education. For Wedemeyer (1981, see Saba), the

can help formulate a systems view of distance education, and “provides a foundation for
epistemology capable of serving the field in the foreseeable future” (p.17). The online

Here, students spend their time using the following technology. Most of the
respondents, 38.2%, answered that in a week they spent 5-10 hours using a

4.2.5 What are the problems you encounter while studying during Covid-19 pandemic?
One of the biggest problems that a student encounter during this pandemic is
having a hard time because they can’t catch up easily with the lesson. Not all student is
a quick-learner, there are students who can’t understand the lesson with just one round
of tackling it. And because of the situation, they are left behind and they loss motivation
With 88.2%, students prefer the face-to-face classes than other. Only 8.8% of the
respondents prefer online class and did not disclose the reason why they prefer it.
Evidence from this graph clearly shows that students want physical interaction with their
teacher, classmates and friends. Because face-to-face class allow physical interaction.

21
The research instrument used in this study was survey questionnaire. In the first
part, the researcher identifies the age, gender and field of specialization of the
respondents and for the second part are the questions related to this study.
The findings of this study, researchers able to understand the hardship of every
student struggle with today’s set-up. Students prefer face-to-face classes than online
class because they know that they can really learn and understand what is being taught
to them. Students had problem with the internet connection, catching-up with the
lesson, even though they get a high grade but they don’t really understand what is being
taught to them. Students use technology to answer the activities and assignments.
From the internet pass it to the teacher, as it is, as long that they submit it they can had
a grade.
This study only shows that students use technology or gadgets all the time,
because of it they got distracted, they lack in socialization, and they became lazy.
Conclusion
The researchers had come up with their conclusions based from the gathered
Technology is now becoming even larger part of the students and teachers
experience. However, technology become a problem during this pandemic. The COVID-
19 Pandemic has triggered new ways of learning. When the online learning began,
many students are having difficulties on their class and on how they can attend their
class. Not all of us have the same lifestyle, not all of us have internet and electronic
devices at home.
22
So, simply put that this study shows that this pandemic really leaves a big impact
not only to the studies of the students but also to the behavior they create during this
time. One of the impacts of the pandemic is students had a hard time making up their
time with their class schedules. Lacking of socialization makes students to not interact,
maybe they interact but not verbally. They interact through social media and that make
it worst.
Recommendation
The researcher makes the following recommendations for students, teachers and
parents:
• Students should focus to their studies and lessen the time they spent using
gadgets.
• Students should develop time management skill so that they had control for the
• Students should improve their self about knowing what is more important and
• Teachers should improve the materials they used during the discussion, and
should not just present a recorded video lecture instead; they should explain it
well so that students that had a hard time to catch-up won’t leave behind about
the lessons.
• Parents can encourage their child to keep positive whatever the situation is.
23
• Parents should ask them if they had a difficulty learning and try to communicate
