Date Completed: April 2022
This research study aims to understand and explain the students’ domestic roles
and its effect on e-learning adaptation among Accountancy, Business, and Management
students. This study used a researcher-made questionnaire survey: what are the domestic
roles of the participants, how these domestic roles affect their adaptation to e-learning,
what are the challenges encountered by the participants through conducting an in-depth
interview with the participants online. The researchers analyze the data by performing
thematic analysis. Furthermore, completing the procedures of the study, six of the
participants resulted to having difficulties learning online while being a student at the
same time, the participants stated both positive and the negative struggles and how they
cope up in managing their stress throughout the e-learning adaptation which it influences
the relationship between participants towards their family and colleagues and comes to
an understanding the roles among themselves.

Government is making an effort to implement E-learning due to the risk of the Covid-19
pandemic. However, most of the highschool students are posting their feelings and
thoughts on social media that online class is very hard, that they are struggling
academically, and the experience is not the same as the face-to-face classes. Since all the
students are studying from their home, parents often forget that their children are having
online classes. Students had to do their roles/ responsibilities at home like doing
students focusing on their view of e-learning and their performance. However, none of
those studies looked into the domestic roles of the students if it affects their adaptation to
e-learning. In the review of the related literature section, it shows the students’ role, their
international setting, the medium used, perceptions and impact of the students towards
online learning, the advantages and disadvantages, and Philippines shifting to E-learning

Theoretical Background
Thelma Lee-Mendoza, ‘role’ is the socially expected behavior imposed for an individual
individual, he/she has a social role that needs to perform. These roles are socially
expected behavior imposed for an individual that occupies a particular status or position
in society. Each role has a set of rights, duties, expectations, norms, and behaviors that a
person has to face and fulfill in every interaction. Basically, the performance of an
individual to his/her social roles will lead to social functioning (Lee-Mendoza,). For an
instance, a person has the role of being a home-based call center agent. On the other
hand, he/she also has another role of being a husband/wife, son/daughter at home.
Moreover, role conflict may occur when there are conflicting expectations
2008). For an instance, a person has the role of being a home-based call center agent. On
the other hand, he/she also has another role of being a husband/wife, son/daughter at
home. These roles overlap and the person is experiencing role conflict.
The study also anchors the theory of William Bridges known as the “bridges
transition model”. The ‘bridges transition model by William Bridges (1991) implies that
transition is what ends up in people’s minds as they experience change. There are three
(3) stages in this model; these are the endings, the neutral zone, and the new beginning.
The first two (2) stages of this model which are the ‘endings’ and ‘neutral’ will be used
in this study. In the first stage, people are forced to let go of something, identify what
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 1
they are losing and how they manage the loss. In the second stage, people are integrating
the new one from the old one however the new one is not fully operational (Bridges,
1991). For an instance, when a person is fired from his work, he has to let go of the fact
that he lost his job and will become jobless. Afterward, he has to accept that he’s already
jobless. However, he might experience distress thinking that he doesn’t have a source of
income.
specific external and internal demands that are appraised as taxing or exceeding the
resources of the person (Lazarus & Folkman, 1981). The use of coping strategies will
greatly burdened with the requirements that need to be submitted. The student will
control his/her emotion thinking that she can do it all in order for him/her to cope with
students’ changing roles in higher education. These are the following: students as
Along with, students who are studying online have the responsibility to learn
and must be self-regulated learners. They have to make decisions in planning, setting of
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 1
goals, communicating with teachers and classmates and time management in their
learning process. By this, it will lead to efficient use of their learning resources and
complete tasks on time (Yeh, et. al., 2019). In order to facilitate communication between
the teachers and students, there is a need to use communication tools like instant
messaging, live chat, e-mail, and video call. Students need to interact with teachers and
The students usually have their time to gather around and share their ideas.
During their peer session, they examine someone’s work if there’s no missing words or
grammatical errors and try to correct it. Also, all students can benefit from the activity to
improve their composition of a specific topic. Whether the students are highly proficient
embedded to them that they should have a good education so that they’ll be able to
support their parents in their old age. Also, Filipino children are expected to help their
parents in doing housework and other activities that involve family affairs (Medina,
2015).
Filipino youth have roles and responsibilities at home that they need to perform.
These roles and responsibilities are set by their parents. These could be being caregivers
to their younger siblings and helpers of housework. Moreover, they have to perform
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 1
household chores such as cooking, cleaning the house, doing laundry, fetching a bucket
At a very young age, Filipino parents are teaching their children a “mabuting
asal”. It is where the children should know how to be respectful to everyone, especially
to others. Also, being generous with what they have, loving their siblings, and being
obedient. It is always believed that if the children are well-mannered, they will become a
competent adult in the future. They’ll be able to distinguish what is right from wrong.
(De Leon, 2012). Sons/Daughters should greet the elder and “mano” as a sign of respect
In doing household chores, men are usually doing chores that are intended for
men like fixing things. On the other hand, women are doing chores intended for them
like child-caring or buying foods to eat (Cerrato and Cifre, 2018). Filipino daughters
claimed that their parents are much more strict compared to their sons. It is because if the
daughters will engage in premarital pregnancy, it will bring shame to the family. On the
contrary, sons/boys are being tolerated by their parents and have freedom. Thus, Filipino
children are expected to follow or obey what their parents told them to do. (Cruz, et. al,
2001)
their younger siblings. They have to take care of their siblings when parents are not
around. Moreover, women are the main household caretaker and caregiver. It is
inculcated in society to stay most of the time at home and do most of the house work
(Blanco, 2016). Thus, the sons and daughters should respect and do their obligation in
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 1
the household. They are expected to have “utang na loob” towards their parents for
having taken good care of them since they were born. If the sons and daughters don’t
follow or honor their parents, they are branded as “not a good child” where they don’t
E-Learning Adaptation
In Thailand, the students’ level of acceptance is above average and senior year
students tend to adapt to the online class. However, these students only get fewer online
courses because they are working a job aside from studying. Also, those students who are
able to adapt to online learning, thinking that it is easy and useful, are those who are
more self-regulated They can work independently and able to manage themselves and
their time for them to be able to do all their online courses (Adams & Ngampornchai,
2016). Moreover, the students who take the elective course or the courses that they
selected themselves rated the use of learning modules slightly positive compared to those
students who take required courses or the courses that are mandatory to take. Students
are likely to get motivated to study if they choose the courses they want.
When COVID-19 pandemic came, a lot of countries were shifting and trying to
adapt to the sudden shift of education which is E-learning because of the Covid-19. It
was found out that most of the students are unable to access a high-speed internet
connection due to financial problems. Only a few schools are offering online learning.
Also, online classes were not effective and students are having difficulty doing group-
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 1
activities because of the lack of physical interaction between the teacher and the students.
Students prefer face-to-face classes because they are more motivated to do it than the
E-learning in Saudi Arabia however, the study of Khalil, R., et. al (2020) is to
explore the synchronous e-learning of medical students during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The students point out that E-learning is beneficial to them since they can repeatedly play
the recorded lectures. But the experience of e-learning is not the same as the clinical
practice where they have to deal with people. E-learning is helpful in a way of studying
concepts until they can finally understand it (Khalil, R., et. al. (2020).
Massive action on the E-learning classroom was the decision of almost all the
HEI’s in the Philippines amid the pandemic. However, the Commission on Higher
Education has declared guidelines for all HEIs so that students could cope with the
requirements set by their professors. The researchers have distributed an online survey
called survey monkey to find out the status of implementation of their E-learning
Classroom and as an immediate intervention in these times of crisis. Teachers who have
been positive in the use of the E-Learning classrooms are those who are motivated to
teach and to learn the new technology. Teacher’s motivation plays a vital role in
providing the best strategies for students, whether online or in traditional classrooms.
Although it was fun and easy, teachers may be able to learn more about how to conduct it
with the students. Overall, the professors who were teaching in various courses have
positive feelings and experience in using the E-Learning Classroom (Chua, et. al., 2020)
PAGE \* MERGEFORMAT 1
institutions tend to support e-learning because they are aware of the risk of COVID-19
that may bring to them. However, for the faculty staff to fully embrace and understand
the nature of online learning, they must be supported by providing training (Moralista &
Oducado, 2020).
Students can learn online via the internet. Students can connect to the internet in
their homes, schools, cafes, and restaurants. For the students and the teachers to
essential tool used by educators for teaching (Humaira & Mahmood 2018). Devices like
smartphones, netbooks, and desktop computers are most likely used by the students in
their online classes (Adams & Ngampornchai, 2016). L Vitoria, et. al (2018), said that
students are ICT literate since they are familiar with using modern technology.
The kind of LMS that is mostly used by the students in their online classes is
Moodle. Students prefer to use the software because it can be synchronous in which the
teacher and the students meet in real-time online. On the other hand, it can also be
asynchronous in which the students can do their learning activities whenever they want
In the study of L Victoria, et. Al (2018), it was found out that students consider a
web-based module in e-learning useful. It lets them access a variety of learning resources
online. Also, the students' motivation, independence, and self-discipline are also
improved. Students also claimed that it was easy to navigate the module online since
they are already familiar with how to use basic word processing, web-based modules,
and forums. They know how to access the learning resources online however, they
encounter problems like slow internet connection and some technical problems.
The result of the study of Mutiara Ayu (2020) found out that some students in
higher education are very active in doing activities and assignments since it will be done
online and the submission is also online via the link or through Google form. They
perceived that online learning is helpful because they can access the learning materials
online as well as the lectures. However, there are also some students who prefer face-to-
face interaction because they can directly interact with their teacher or their classmates
that, they perceive that online learning is not suitable for learning and prefer to have
face-to-face learning because it is more fun for them. Further, the teachers have difficulty
in e-learning because they noticed that students are easily distracted and the students
didn’t participate well in their discussion. It’s hard for them to control the students like
There are advantages and disadvantages of online learning. The key advantages
of online learning are the reduction of time, cost, and flexibility. Students can save time
and cost from commuting to go to school for them to gain new knowledge and skills.
Students no longer experience the hardship of being trapped during a traffic jam. Also,
the students can learn at their own pace where they can learn whatever time and/ or
wherever they want. On the contrary, no social interaction is one of the disadvantages of
online learning because young individuals are supposed to interact with other people
whom they have the same age. Besides, some courses need to be done inside the
classroom like when the students are doing practical or hands-on activities and skill-
In the study of Brittany Gilbert (2015), the benefits and challenges of online
learning identified by the students are unlimited access to the course taken with the use
of the internet. Whenever they don’t understand the discussion, they can access the
specific course again and try to study it again and again until they finally understand the
lesson/discussion. On the other hand, the students’ challenges are the lack of internet
access at home. Some don’t even have an internet connection even though they are

This section dealt with the presentation, discussion, analysis, and interpretation of
the data gathered. Specifically, discussion on student’s (a) domestic roles (b) effects of
domestic roles to e-learning adaptation (c) challenges experienced and (d) coping
strategies/management.
All of the participants claim that they have identified that cooking, cleaning,
washing dishes, doing laundry, running errands, planting, and assisting their younger
It is expected that daughters have house work and look after their younger
siblings. This was supported in our review of related literature that Filipino children are
expected to help in the house when it comes to house work or domestic roles and other
family related affairs (Medina, 2015). Girls are often tasked to have domestic roles in
order for their parents to go to work (ILO, 2021). Moreover, the role of an individual is
different when he/she is at home or attending school whether it is online or offline. This

determined their domestic roles. They accepted the tasks or house works that are
assigned to them because they don’t have a choice and are already accustomed to it.
Moreover they are following these assigned tasks to serve as payback for giving their
support and letting them stay in the house. This small act could become a sort of help to
their parents/guardians.
“Utang na loob” or debt of gratitude is one of Filipino values that every Filipinos
possessed. This is an act of reciprocating the help given by the other person or an
opportunity to return a favor (Pua & Marcelino, 2000). The participants showed “utang

Most of the participants suffered stress due to their domestic roles that they have
to perform at home while taking class activities. They suffered anxiety, emotional
breakdown and pressure from school and home. It is draining on their part that they have
to perform their domestic roles even though they are attending a class online. It results in
Due to the transition of mode of learning, the participants experienced stress. This
is brought by the change that is happening. Stress theory by Rahe and Holmes (1967)
says that stress serves as a stimulus to make adjustments or to respond to the demands.
Thus in this study, emotional stress brought the participants to adapt to change and this is
the first step that they will experience before they can create coping strategies to fully

2.4 Not able to understand the lessons and more likely to do self-study
Due to the domestic roles of the students, they’re are instances that they cannot
focus, get behind in class and don't understand their lesson. As an effect of doing both
the domestic roles and school work, they tend to do self-study. Participant no. 1, 6, 9 ,10
2008). Due to multiple roles, the students cannot focus on one role because they have to
do the other roles. That is why, the students are doing self-study to compensate for their
role as a student where he/she didn’t perform properly because of doing first the
domestic roles.
(“I can’t focus much on the discussions… Sometimes if my parents were present
naa akong parents, mas gyud unahon ang trabaho sa balay te. So ma distruct jud ko sa

Multi-tasking is doing two things at once and widely practiced by most people.
This could bring advantage where an individual can finish two tasks at the same time. On
the contrary, Jackson (2009) argues that multitasking is not really a good thing.
Moreover, an individual cannot give their full attention to either of the two things he/she
does.

eating, doing the laundry and cleaning. I also listened to one who was discussing.)

Participant no. 4, 5 & 6 share that their way to cope with the challenges they have
experienced is that they have to manage their time. Being mindful of their time so that
they can finish both their domestic roles and their school work. Moreover, by managing
their time they are able to set priorities on what they will do first.
Practicing it organizes someone’s time and setting off priorities. Also, time management
can improve the productivity of an individual that could lead in having quality of life.

conflict of an individual. This is supported by the supporting theory of this study which
is the coping theory by Lazarus and Folkman (1981). Effective coping strategies

In order for the students to do and attend their classes online, they are trying to
tell their parents not to disturb them. Participant no. 1, 6 & 8 claims that they let their
parents or anyone in the house not to disturb them when having a class. That being
always on the phone doesn’t mean they are not doing something.
According to Tom Lemanski (2015), role awareness is giving clarity on one’s job
objective. Through role awareness, the parents can be aware that in the house, their
sons/daughter are not just having a single role. In the household, the students are not just

CHAPTER 3
This chapter presents the conclusion and recommendations in relation to the study.
Summary of Findings
This study adds to the evidence of the existing literature review of how the
The first research objective explored the domestic roles of the students and they
have identified cooking, cleaning, washing dishes, doing laundry, running errands,
planting, and assisting their younger siblings in doing their module as their domestic
roles. This was supported by Medina (2015) that is shown in our review of related
literature which states that Filipino children are expected to help in the house when it
comes to housework or domestic roles and other family-related affairs. Also, it is shown
that the parents/guardians are the ones who assigned the students with domestic roles.
The students are accepting this that served as payback. The students show “utang na
loob” to their parents/guardians because they are the ones who provided their support to
them.
With regards to the second research objective which is the effects of domestic
roles on e-learning adaptation shows that students are being forced to adapt to e-learning.
This is because they don’t have a choice and just slowly adapt to change. They can’t do

anything about it because the government is prioritizing health and it is beyond their
control. The forced acceptance and slowly adapting to e-learning got supported by our
sub-theory which is the “transition model” of William Bridges (1991). In addition, the
students are interrupted in their e-learning because of the sudden call of their parents
telling them to do their domestic roles. Students are being reprimanded for not doing
their domestic roles. Due to the multiple roles of the participants, they tend to experience
role conflict. This is anchored by the main theory of this study which is the role theory of
Thelma Lee-Mendoza (2008). Moreover, the students are suffering stress due to their
domestic roles that they have to perform at home while taking class activities. Suffered
anxiety, emotional breakdown, and pressure from school and home. It is draining on their
part that they have to perform their domestic roles even though they are attending a class
online. It results in a loss of focus in class and a feeling of exhaustion. This is supported
by the Stress theory by Rahe and Holmes (1967) that says that stress serves as a stimulus
understand the lessons for they cannot focus and are always left behind due to their
domestic roles.
The third research objective, examining what are the challenges encountered by
the students while they are doing domestic roles and e-learning at the same time. It
shows that students tend to multitask just to comply with the demands of their possessed
roles. According to Jackson (2009) that multitasking is not a good thing. It is much better
The last research objective that looks into the coping strategies that the students
used to cope up with the challenges they have experienced. It shows that students are

practicing time management, releasing stress and self-encouragement, and trying to let
their parents understand their roles. These are anchored to the sub-theory of this study
Conclusion
It is a big challenge for the students in times of this pandemic to study online
while performing their domestic roles. Students are forced to accept and adapt to e-
learning but not fully. Also, students have identified their domestic roles and they need to
do it while studying. They experienced role conflict however they learned to practice
Recommendation
The results of the study shows agreeable, and acceptable outcomes. The
researchers recommend further extended studies on the domestic roles of the students.

Extend their services to the parents or guardians, not just the students.

Looking at other factors that could further enhance the study such as those
who are in lower class or the poorest of the poor. Other than that, the researchers
advise to have a study whether performing domestic roles and studying online
