CHAPTER 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS BACKGROUND
INTRODUCTION
Education plays a significant role in our society. According to Malcom X
“Education is the passport to the future, for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it
today.” Education is the foundation to a kids’ future that is why it is crucial for any kid to
have a sustainable and healthy learning environment. Moreover, better quality of
education would lead to a better future that is why one of the Sustainable development
Goals of United Nation is to have better quality education for everyone. With this, having
quality education and a healthy learning environment plays a significant role on how a
student would grow and contribute to our society.
In the midst of this global pandemic, we are reflecting in real-time on how
systems undergo large- scale transformation how government, businesses, schools,
cities, and communities adapt and make fundamental changes to existing ways. One of
the most difficult obstacle communities have to deal with is how the hope of the nation or
"Pagasa ng bayan". Adopt the new normal in terms of expanding knowledge to gain
new skills and learning. The COVID-19 has resulted in schools shut all across the world.
The traditional learning language environment has been neglected to prevent wide
spread of COVID-19. As a result, education has changed dramatically, with the
distinctive rise of e-learning, whereby teaching is undertaken remotely and on digital
1
platforms. Different factors that affect the student behavior are one by one exist. That
lessen improvement of learning value that students must learn.
In today's society, online learning are widely used in colleges providing easy
access to course materials, classroom discussions, and feedback to instructors. The
course materials and activities may be accessed from any computer, whether it is from
the University or from the comfort of your own home. Online learning is education that
takes place over the Internet. It is often referred to as “e- learning” among other terms.
However, online learning is just one type of “distance learning” - the umbrella term for
any learning that takes place across distance and not in a traditional classroom.
Reactions to the novel corona virus/COVID-19 have caused a great many changes to
daily life in recent days. One group particularly affected by these changes is the
students. They are facing challenges this year that have never happened before on this
scale.
COVID-19 is killing a large scale of people which causes people to panic and
become more aware of their health. One causes of this pandemic is the mental health of
everyone especially the students who switch into Electronic Learning. Big adjustments
are experiencing by the students in these days due to this “No to face to face” to lessen
the physical contact of the students to their classmates and professors. There are lot of
students having difficulty what they need in this Electronic Learning such as the stable
internet connection, laptops and mobile phones. Not all of us are capable of having the
needs in Electronic Learning because some students are working for themselves and
that gives the students issues in their mental health.
2
Students' ability to learn is as much affected by their interpersonal and
intrapersonal behavior as it is by their academic skills. In a classroom environment,
teachers can employ practices to manage students' day-to-day behavior. But many
parents may find behavior management challenging while adjusting to virtual or at-home
education. This can be especially difficult as many children deal with emotional
challenges like increased anxiety or stress as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic.
Parents and caregivers of children with behavioral disorders like ADHD may also face
unique challenges during this time, American Psychological Association (2020).
In the book, “Adjunct Guide to Driving With Care” (PBT: Jessor, 1987, 1991,
1998; Jessor & Jessor, 1977) explains, Behavior system includes both problem and
conventional behavior structures. Problem behavior is defined as behavior that departs
from the social and legal norms of society and causes social control response from
external sources. In this case, there are many behavioral problems affecting their
personality and attitude in general.
BACKGROUND OF THE STUDY
Online Learning is a huge adjustment to all of the students, professors and also to
the parents who are guiding their children in their studies. It is important for the Aircraft
Maintenance Technology students to have a hands on learning especially on their
chosen course which relates to the safety of an aircraft. In related to their course, some
students may struggle when their On-the-Job training comes because of the absence of
3
laboratory experiences. Many students are pressured these days that will likely affect
their mental health due to shrinking of the economy of Aviation Industry. They are
overthinking of what will be their position after they graduated knowing that Aviation
Industry is in loss of employees due to COVID-19.
The importance of this study shows us how fourth year students of Philippine
State College of Aeronautics FAB Campus cope in this kind of learning style and know
how they deal with the online classes with or without affecting their attitude towards in a
new social environment. Especially, Philippine State College of Aeronautics FAB
Campus they are teaching highly technical course and most of students need to focus
without distractions. Moreover, according to Prameswari & Budiyanto (2017), “Teachers
need to create models or an effective way to learn, in addition, assist students in
understanding the development of related courses. And effective learning is directly
related to effective teaching and effective classroom management.” With this, teachers
need to make an interactive environment with a virtual setting so that the students would
learn more. That is why in this study, the researchers are exploring this idea and if it is
truly effective to the Seniors of Philippine State College of Aeronautics FAB Campus.
Overall, with the current situation of the world being in a pandemic, most schools
adjusted to online learning to follow healthy protocols. Furthermore, with these changes
happening, education is bound to be modified. Now with this study the researchers’ goal
is to find the effectiveness of this modification. Specifically, the change to Online classes
and modular activities especially, since for a student to fully learn and engage with their
lesson they need an effective learning environment.

CHAPTER 2
REVIEW OF RELATED LITERATURE AND STUDIES
This chapter presents related literature and studies of the research. The
information included in this chapter helps in familiarizing information that are relevant
and similar to the present study.

Foreign Related Literature
Maheshwari and Thomas 2017 explained that there are various learning contexts
in which learners can learn, including face-to-face learning, distance learning, learning,
and online learning. Although the terms "online learning" and "e-learning" are sometimes
used interchangeably, there is a distinction between the two. E-learning is the process of
gaining access to web-based technology resources that can be used in or out of the
classroom. Oblinger et al. 2005 stated that Online learning is about describing the
learning “wholly online” where the learners learn outside the classroom and is
considered similar to distance learning but using online platforms.
Distance education, according to Keegan (2002), is defined as "teaching and
learning in which learning generally occurs in a distant place from teaching." In distant
education, he continues, materials and support structures are developed and prepared
by an educational organization that employs technology media to connect teacher,
student, and subject. Learner characteristics such as interest, attitude, and motivation
are other essential ideas that are being researched in the field of remote education and
will most likely be examined in the future. Instruction is more than just displaying
information; it requires an integrated fit that takes into account the topic, learner
differences, and delivery mode to be successful.
Karadeniz 2004 explained that individual variations become more prominent in
web-based education when students are primarily studying alone. With today's internet
technologies, it's easy to create a variety of designs that accommodate for individual
characteristics. Individual differences should be considered. Students' achievement
would be low primarily because the learning environment's organization would not
correspond to the organization of real life in their thinking.
10
There are strong relationships between attitudes and beliefs, as well as
correlations between attitudes and behaviors, according to research. Attitudes build the
foundations of one's beliefs, which impact one's activities. According to Workman
(2005), when people have positive opinions regarding a technology, they are more likely
to employ that technology. He also claimed that people are impacted by subjective
norms, or one's sense of significant others' attitudes toward a specific technology, which
can either encourage or discourage one from utilizing it.
With the advent of remote education in campus-based institutions around the
world in recent decades, ensuring a smooth transition between face-to-face and distance
education has become a more essential management challenge for universities. The
attitude of learners toward online learning and distance education is one of the variables
influencing this transformation. Understanding their attitudes and perspectives can aid
universities and academic staff in developing and implementing appropriate online
learning models and formats to fulfill the needs of students. Many scholars have
emphasized the necessity of educational institutions researching and reporting students'
perceptions about online learning. Other researchers believe that learners' attitudes and
viewpoints toward online learning are a significant impact in their learning outcomes.
Students' positive views toward online learning, according to Lim et al. and Selim, are
crucial to their readiness and inclusion in distance learning.
Local Related Literature
Educators, trainers, and researchers have been looking into the aspects that
contribute to efficient learning management. Many circumstances, both inside and
11
outside the school, might have an impact on a student's academic progress. These are
known as student factors, and they include family, school, and peer influences (Crosnoe,
Johnson & Elder, 2004). Aside from other elements, socioeconomic status is one of the
most examined and contested aspects of a student's academic achievement. The most
common argument is that a student's socioeconomic situation has an impact on their
academic achievement. Most experts believe that pupils' poor socioeconomic level has a
detrimental impact on their academic performance since their basic requirements are not
met, and as a result, they do not perform better academically. (Adams, 1996)
The rapid rise in COVID-19 cases has resulted in the shutdown of educational
institutions, including elementary and secondary schools. Students' attitudes about
education and school attendance can be influenced by their absence from the
educational environment. The goal of this study was to assess kids' attitudes and
emotions concerning school closures due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
During times of quarantines and viral outbreaks, it appears that online learning is the
only realistic option for continuing to learn from afar. This, however, appears to be based
on a faulty premise. It is important to note that online learning is only one type of
distance education. Distance education is broadly characterized as any form of learning
experience where the learner and the instructor are physically separated from each
other (not only by place but also by time). Arguably, such a dislocation is “the perfect
context for free-flowing thought that lets us move beyond the restricted confines of a
familiar social order” (Hooks, 2003). Moreover, this type of education is a way of
providing learning opportunities to every learner, whatever their circumstances might be.
This means that distance education may extend access to education through distribution
12
and economies of scale (Guri-Rosenblit, 2005; Owusu-Agyeman and Amoakohene,
2020).
One may claim that the main thrust of distance education is to bring education to
those who are unreachable, under-resourced, less-privileged and inaccessible (Biana,
2013). Taken as such, distance education “reaches out to students wherever they live or
wish to study” (Guri-Rosenblit, 2005). This kind of flexibility gives students more freedom
to actively participate in learning (Guri-Rosenblit, 2005; Daniel, 2016). Students learn
even if they are separated from their instructors by space and/or time (Edge and
Loegering, 2000). In the time of COVID-19, distance learning became a necessity for
learners and educators all over the world (Ali, 2020).
The Philippines, Thailand, Vietnam, and Indonesia are all in the same economic
and sociocultural boat, and they're all dealing with the same COVID-19 education
difficulties. However, these issues present a chance to increase our understanding of
education and adopt long-term, sustainable improvements that will improve the quality of
our educational institutions. The Philippines will require a clear set of laws and standards
based on an innovative educational framework in the future. This necessitates a
thorough and honest assessment of the country's readiness to provide learning
programs that go beyond the norm. Several aspects must be considered when the
Philippines begins on a new method of education. This encompasses instructor capacity,
the learner's circumstance and context, and the learning environment's efficiency. These
are, of course, in addition to the more obvious concerns about internet speed, material
costs, and delivery methods. Taking a step back and designing a strategy that involves
teachers, students, parents, school officials, and technology-based corporations is the
13
best approach to move forward. This kind of innovative solution, based on a shared
vision, is exactly what this unusual challenge calls for (De Vera, 2020).
Synthesis
Overall, the specified studies and literature are indeed helpful and relevant to the
aim and objectives of the study which is determining the factors affecting fourth year
students adaptation towards online learning. Considering the past studies that revealed
that online learning has an effect to the students’ performance toward their online class,
and factors effecting students, is essential in a way that the researchers are being
familiarized with the relevant concepts and ideas which are crucial in formulating the
framework and the hypotheses of the study. Aside from that, this would also aid the
researchers in choosing the most appropriate research instrument or tools and adding
realizations to the past studies which can be seen from the changes that took place.
Understanding the factors affecting student is the focus of the study. This will aid the
researchers in determining the underlying benefits and advantages that it will bring to the
community, as well as the possible improvements on updates that could be applied.
These findings are of great significance in alleviating the current status and the factors
that can affect the students.
CHAPTER 3
RESEARCH DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY
Research Design
14
The study used a quantitative research design to determine the adaptation of the
Fourth Year students of Philippine State College of Aeronautics Fernando Air Base
Campus. Quantitative research uses mathematical theories and statistics.
The researchers believed that descriptive method is the best to use in the
analysis and interpretation of the study because this method is a fact-finding study with
adequate and accurate interpretation. Moreover, using this method provides a basic
contribution as procedures go by and it creates a good relationship with the
respondents. It also deals with the appropriate investigation which results to the desired
outcome and credible conclusions from the information gathered in the study.
Participants of the Study
Fourth year students from Philippines State College of Aeronautics are validated
in conducting our research because they experience both face to face and online class.
In line with the study, the respondents of the study would be from all the Aircraft
Maintenance Technology and Aviation Electronics Technology students. With the total
number of 80 respondents for the study since they all have experienced the same
scenario. In that way, the researchers could find the reliable information they need for
the study.
Research Instrument
The researchers used self-made survey questionnaire that serves as the study’s main
instrument that resulted by collecting info about the study. Google Form were distributed to the
Fourth Year Aircraft Maintenance Technology Students at Philippine State College of
15
Aeronautics Fernando Air Base Campus. The questionnaires are divided into two parts. The first
part consists the profile of the respondents in terms of gender, section and course.
The second part were determined the factors that may affect their adaptation towards
online learning. The statements provided by the researchers are based on their experience. The
respondents rated it as strongly agree, agree, disagree and strongly disagree.
The items were deconstructed and interpreted based on the following scales:
SCALE MEAN RATING INTERPRETATION

Data Gathering Procedure
In gathering data, researchers used statistical instrument that collected the respondent’s
answers from their profile and factors that affect their behavior towards online learning.
Researchers’ eagerness to gathered data made through reading books, research from the
internet and other related materials can be used or concerning about factors affecting students
behaviour towards online learning. From the evaluated studies, and articles, researchers made a
draft of the instrument. This was immediately examined by their quantitative research teacher.
Researchers made letter of request to close the permission from the head of college
department at Philippine State College of Aeronautics Fernando Air Base Campus and for
number of respondents w/ numerical Fourth Year Aircraft Maintenance Technology Students
16
and Aviation Electronics Technology for conducting the study. After the approval, researchers
distributed the questionnaires and systematic random choose respondents to answer the
questionnaire honestly and correct. The questionnaires were immediately retrieved from the
respondent’s response written in the questionnaires were analyzed, interpreted and statistically
treated.

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter is in line with presentation, analysis and interpretation of data. The
researchers collected information and discussed the finding in a sequential technique in
time with the statement of the problem indicated in the study.
1. Respondent’s Profile
In order to derive a more accurate result for the study, it is important that the
researchers sought the respondent’s profile. It comprises the gender, course, and
section of the different respondents involved in data gathering. The gathered information
served as the basis for the succeeding undertaking.
17
1.1 Gender
The first variable under the respondents’ profile is gender. Gender is socially
constructed in response to local context. Specifically, gender differences in social
behavior arising from the distribution of male and female into a social role with in a
society. This variable is presented through frequency distribution revealed at Table 1.1
and percentage distribution at Figure 2.

supports are crucial for a student to adapt to online learning. These resources include
stable internet connection, quality gadget, a conducive environment for learning, as well
as other material resources like paper, pens, notebook, and many more. By having an
easy access to such resources, students would experience less hassle during their
learning times online. However, not all students are guaranteed to have an access over
the aforementioned learning resources. This causes many students to be less motivated
and struggle more during the online learning. At the worst case scenario, students would
drop-out of their classes since they are unable to perform their academic tasks due to
lack of quality resources. However, the learning resource is not the only factor that affect
the students’ adaptation to online learning. Based on the table, statement 3 got the
highest mean of 3.55 and an interpretation of “Strongly Agree”, while statements 4, 6,
12, and 13 got an interpretation of “Agree”, garnering a mean of 3.1875, 3.075, 2.65, and
2.625 respectively. This connotes the fact that the eagerness of the students as well as
their dedication to learn plays a vital factor in their way of adapting to online learning.
With that being said, it is important to highlight that those students who are more eager
to learn and participate in class are more satisfied with online learning as compared to
students who just submits requirements for them to finish the year. Perhaps, this also
23
goes hand-in-hand with the availability of the students’ resources. In addition, time
management also affects the way students adapt to online learning. As seen from the
table, statement 5 got an interpretation of “Agree” and a mean of 3.075, which means
that students are able to manage their time wisely. This allows them to adapt well on
online classes and activities since they have more time to spend for their personal
things. On the contrary, people who tend to procrastinate and people who really who do
not have enough free time finds it hard to adjust with the pace of the online learning.
Furthermore, statements 14 and 15 also showed an interpretation of “Agree”, by having
a mean of 3.1 and 2.8215. The two consecutive statements reveals that improvements
during online learning also affect students’ adaptation towards the given setup. This is
because most people who sees that they are improving during the online setup may
yearn for more experience than those who do not. This makes them adapt more easily to
the challenges brought by online learning as they find it productive and efficient. Lastly,
statement 10 is the only statement which showed an interpretation of “Disagree” by
having a mean of 2.425. This means that majority of the respondents experience a poor
body clock, connoting a negative effect on their adaptation towards online learning.
Ultimately, the aforementioned factors are clearly vital on the students’ perception and
behavior when adapting to online learning.

Table 2.2 reveals the significant difference of the factors affecting the students’
adaptation towards online learning, measured using the one-tailed T-Test of two
samples with unequal variances. Under the same degrees of freedom of 158, the
results have generated both statistically significant and insignificant difference between
the factors. Based on the compiled data above, it can be seen that statements 1, 2, 3, 4,
7, 8, 9, 10, 12, 13, 15, showed a t-stat of 3.813, 5.911, 6.824, 2.230, 4.404, -1.782, -
4.038, -4.750,
-3.045, -3.521, and -1.837 respectively. Since their t-stat is beyond the one tail t-critical
value of 1.66, it is safe to assume that there is a significant difference between the
factors and the students’ adaptation towards online learning. This means that the
practices of each of the respondents are different from the practice of the total
population. This is because each respondent have a different practice with regard to the
different mentioned factors. Meanwhile, statements 5, 6, 11, and 14 showed that there is
no significant difference on the practice of each respondents to that of the whole
population, by garnering a t-stat of 0.813, 0.860, -0.357, and 1.043 respectively. This
26
implies that the responses of the respondents in the aforementioned statements
accurately reflect their attitude towards online learning.
Despite having both statistically significant and insignificant differences, it is
noticeable from Table 2.2 that all factors reveal a positive p-value. By having so, all
factors are deemed to have positive relationship towards a well adaptation of online
learning. In this case, as previously found on Table 2.1, almost all of the respondents
have agreed that they practice the different mentioned factors. Overall, this assumes
that all of the respondents adapt well to online learning.
