"The Impact of Face-to-Face Learning to the Academic performance of

Grade 11 Students of Sta. Lucia Academy, Inc."

Introduction:

Students across the country are returning to school, in some cases for in-person
instruction for the first time since March 2020. Much of society’s focus will
understandably be on COVID-19 safety, but returning to school is also a time to think
about the other ways we need to keep students safe and to build an environment that’s
inclusive of everyone. 

These challenges may feel more acute this year as students and teachers deal
with the highly stressful challenge of returning to classrooms amid the pandemic or
otherwise strive to make virtual education work. The Wall Street Journal, for example,
recently reported on the pandemic’s major mental health impacts that will stay with
students as they return to school.

Learners can benefit from a greater level of interaction with their fellow students
as well. In face-to-face learning, a better understanding and recollection of lesson
content is made secure while class members are also given a better chance to bond
with one another.

Face-to-face classes boost academic performance, improve on mental health

and well-being, and help develop social engagement skills. Furthermore, many of the
bright yet disadvantaged students find it difficult to spend on devices and internet
access.

Likewise, students be able to concentrate harder on their learning because

there'll be less distraction than they were at home. They may feel more comfortable and
learn more easily in a familiar, traditional classroom situation.

According to Post, et al., (2021), that online pedagogy may have negative effects
on students’ academic performance when compared to the performance of students in
F2F classes. In their study, they examined the significant difference in the means of
final course completion grades between two instructional modalities, face to face and
online and found out that F2F classes is a strong determinant of success.

In the study of Mahlan et al., (2022), they compared the student performance in
online and Face-to-Face learning. As found in this study, female students overall have
better achievement than male students during face-to-face learning.
