ABSTRACT
Employee development is incomplete without training. Training has evolved into an

online, technology-based format as a result of new normal changes. E-training is
currently used by institutions and organizations to reduce training time and assess faculty
and staff on new information and skills. This study entitled “Perception of GADTC
Employees on the Benefits and Challenges to E-training and Development” was
conducted to evaluate the benefits and challenges in engaging e-training. A qualitative
research method was used in the study with an interview-guide questionnaire as a data
gathering tool. The participants of this study were twenty (20) employees randomly
selected among the GADTC faculty & Staff. The results revealed the benefits that the
employees experienced on engaging to online training. These benefits included reduced
cost and saved money, professional development, build unity and cooperation,
convenient and fits employee’s flexible lifestyles, and provide employees with ongoing
access to key resources. The results also revealed the challenges that employees
encountered during e-training such as slow internet connection, adjustment on e-training,
lack of focus, and poor learning outcome. Thus, e-training benefits the employees of
Gov. Alfonso D. Tan College in attaining improvement of skills, knowledge9, and
proficiency. E-training for employees is commendable to sustain their skills as these are
always useful in their fields of work.

Chapter 1
THE PROBLEM AND ITS SCOPE
Background of the Study
The provision of opportunities for continuing education for faculty and staff is
part of Gov. Alfonso D. Tan College's (GADTC) mission statement. Training is essential
for all employees, but especially for those working in academe. All employees, including
instructors and professors, should be trained on a regular basis to improve their
knowledge, skills, and competencies in their respective fields. GADTC trainings are
being shifted to e-training, which is being implemented virtually in order to reduce social
interactions as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic. GADTC's e-training employs a
number of software platforms, including Google Meet, Microsoft Teams, and Zoom.
Other factors, aside from the software used, should be considered when determining the
outcomes of e-training. It is critical to understand the benefits and challenges of e-
learning.
According to Juneja (2015), the training process shapes employees' thinking and
leads to high-quality performance. Arsovski (2007) added that training is a specific
activity with different goals and specific groups, and the objective of every online
training is to improve employees' performance, contentment, and skills enhancement. Its
mission also includes providing employees with the resources, equipment, and
information they need to become more productive and creative at work (Pappas, 2016).
Prior to the pandemic, GADTC conducted face-to-face trainings and workshops,
with employees physically attending each training. However, due to the new situation,
2
GADTC now conducts their trainings online using various software’s. Training and
development via e-learning has emerged as an alternative platform for developing or
improving skills required for faculty and staff work. However, it is important to
understand the benefits and challenges of employees in this new setup. Indeed, feedback
is essential for improving any organization's system and operations.
In this regard, the researchers of this study wanted to determine the benefits and
challenges of e-training at Gov. Alfonso D. Tan College. The researchers would like to
determine what are the challenges faced by the employees in online training.
Conceptual Framework
This study was anchored to the following insights of the varied authors whose
focus relates to the objectives of the research work.
E-training means training with an electronic platform. Companies and institution
can use it to teach employees without gathering them in one place at the same time.
Which saves time, effort, and organizational strife while also ensuring that an entire
workforce is kept up to date with the latest guidelines and practices (Brown, 2018).
Furthermore, online training is also the art of transferring knowledge via the internet to
targeted audiences from anywhere in the world who want to learn a specific subject. (Ali,
2018). In addition, this online platform contains a variety of different multimedia
elements such as graphics, audio, video as well as web links to keep trainees in touch.
Njane (2014) stated that training online is web-based, so educators can participate
from the convenience of home, school or anywhere they have access to a computer and
an internet connection. In addition, Bleich (2018) added the major benefits of eLearning
for your employees and company: improved employee retention for most training topics;
3
collaboration; eLearning guarantees training consistency quality and standardization; and
timely feedback for employees and managers. Last but not least, it ensures a risk-free
working environment for employees. This benefits will help the institution or
organization to achieve its goals and objectives, as well as to improve the productivity of
its employees.
According to Martenille (2017), online training has grown in popularity in recent
years. People are generally busier, and technology has made significant advances, so
online learning is becoming a much more appealing option for personal and professional
development. Unfortunately, challenges encountered in engaging online training are
present. Paylou (2021), stated that there are five potential stumbling blocks with online
learning: technical issue, a lack of interaction, online distractions, disabilities and special
needs, and poor digital literacy. In addition, Pappas (2021), noted that some challenges
that employees encountered in engaging online training. This includes issues with time
management, slow internet access, and limited interaction with online participants, which
can be frustrating at best and can completely ruin their training experience at worst.
Statement of the Problem
This study aimed to determine the benefits and challenges of e-training for
GADTC employees.
Specifically, this study aimed to answer the following questions:
1. What are the benefits of e-training as perceived by GADTC employees?
2. What are the challenges encountered by GADTC employees during e-
training?
Significance of the Study

4
The following group of individuals may use the result of this research in different
ways:
Instructors. This study would help and serve as an instrument in developing and
enhancing their skills with the help of e-training. It will serve as a guide in
improving the online training that could be provided to them and foster the
effectiveness and efficiency of online training.
Management. The result of this study would give an insight and improvement to
training employees and reduce difficulties. It will also help them to
enhance the online training they would provide. It will also provide a
justifiable and reliable guide in designing and implementing e-training
towards to the improvement of its employees.
Other Institution. Since trainings are needed and important in every institution,
businesses and organization for its improvement. This study will help
them in designing their future trainings to its employees and give insights
to establish and develop strategy for achieving sustainable growth.
Future Researchers. The study will be beneficial for them as it will serve as a
guide and will give insights about the online training.
Scope and Limitation of the Study
This study was conducted to determine the benefits of e-training at Gov. Alfonso
D. Tan College. The researchers also determined what are the challenges faced by the
employees during their online training program. This study was conducted in the second
semester of the academic year 2021-2022. The participants were the faculty and staff of
Gov. Alfonso D. Tan College.

Research Methods
This part discusses the research design, research participants, research setting,
research instrument, instruments validity, data gathering procedure, and data analysis of
the research
Research Design. The researchers used a descriptive qualitative research method.
This method employed an in-depth interview, which is ideal for gathering
information about people's personal pasts, points of view, and experiences,
especially when sensitive topics are being discussed. According to
Creswell (2014), in the study process, the specific procedures of data
collection, data analysis, and report writing are referred to as research
design. Which mostly assists in answering the what, when, where, and
how questions about the research challenges, rather than the why.
Research Setting. This study was conducted at Gov. Alfonso D. Tan College
located at Maloro, Tangub City, Misamis Occidental. GADTC is an
institution that offers different programs and operates for almost 37 years
and where the participants are currently employed.
Research Participants. The participants of this study were the faculty members
and staff of Gov. Alfonso D. Tan College who underwent training and
development virtually. A stratified random sampling was used in
identifying the participants. There were 20 faculty and staff considered as
participants of this study. Crouch and McKenzie (2017) wrote in the logic
of small samples in interview-based research that by using 20 participants
in a qualitative research study will generate a better outcome.

6
Research Instrument. A researcher-made interview guide questionnaire was
used to gather data from the faculty members and staff of GADTC in
order to know the benefits and challenges of employees towards e-
training. This questionnaire was used to generate answers from the
participants.
Instrument’s Validity. The interview guide was checked by the adviser and
research editor. After checking, a revision was made to suit the required
data. Before the interview with the participants, the researchers integrated
the corrections. Pre-testing was conducted, and the questions were tailored
to the participants’ level of knowledge. The questions do not have a right
or incorrect response.
Data Gathering Procedure. The study started with the formulation of the
problem. The researchers used an interview guide to further strengthen the
result of the study. The researchers make a letter that was approved by the
research instructor and the adviser. Then, the researchers asked permission
from the GADTC college president to allow them to conduct the study.
After the permission was granted, the distribution of the questionnaires to
the employees followed. The researchers surely made a clear direction for
the participants to understand the given questions. After they answered the
questions, the instrument was retrieved and organized. Then, the data was
tabulated, analysed, and interpreted.
Data Analysis. The researchers of this study used thematic analysis as a method
to identify, analyse, and report patterns within the data. According to

7
Caulfield (2019), thematic analysis is a qualitative data analysis technique.
It is frequently used to define a collection of texts, such as an interview or
transcripts. The researchers immersed themselves in the data by
repetitiously reading over the material as they prepare for analysis. The
data collection, note-taking, and coding was transpired simultaneously
from the onset of the research, and a sorting process facilitated project
organization to achieve categorical saturation.
Ethical Considerations
The participant’s confidentiality was not exposed or revealed to anybody. Before
the start of the dissemination of the questionnaire, a written informed consent form was
presented to the participants. It was emphasized that the data gathered from the guide is
used for academic purpose only. The researchers assured the participants that the
information to be gathered in the instrument is strictly confidential and the anonymity of
their identities would be constantly maintained.
Trustworthiness of the Research
This study was conducted with outmost reliability. To observe credibility of the
interpretation, the researchers consult experts and professionals regarding the data
gathered from the participants.

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS, AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA
This chapter shows the presentation, analysis and interpretation of the data
gathered by the researchers. The researchers of this study conducted an interview to the
employees of Gov. Alfonso D. Tan College. A total of twenty (20) participants were
selected. The researchers used the method of combining the answers with similar theme.
Problem 1. What are the benefits of e-training as perceived by GADTC employees?
During the interview, the following themes have emerged based on their
responses:
Theme 1: Reduce Cost and Saves Money
Since training has evolved into e-training, participating in it during this pandemic
has benefited employees by lowering the cost of training and travel expenses. The
following theme is being explained by the participants below.
As stated by Participant 2 “Reduce Cost” and Participant 16 also

added that, “It reduce cost”.
Participant 13 said that, “First, it occurred to me that using online

training saves money”.
Participant 15 conveyed that,” The benefits of e-training is that it

saves me my money and energy because I don’t have to pay for it and I
don’t have to go to other places just to attend training”.
Participant 20 added that “Reduce Cost”.

10
Out of twenty (20) participants who answered during the interview, four (4) of
them responded that the benefits of e-training is it reduce cost and they were able to save
money. According to Axelssons (2017), an online training system reduces the costs
associated with traditional face to face training. Also, Andriotis (2021) added that
through online training, travel expenses, catering, and venue costs can all be
avoided. With online training there is not much expenses that the program can reach far
more learners.
Theme 2: Professional Development

The continued acquisition of knowledge by employees is very important as
it serves as their foundation and the building blocks for their continuous
learning. Another theme emerged from the responses of the employees about the benefits
of e-training. Below are their responses.
As stated by Participant 9, “Increase knowledge, awareness, and

enhance skills”.
Participant 7 conveyed that “…I gained so much knowledge from

the training”.
Participant 10 said that “It help me enhance my current knowledge

on various areas of teaching. It also equipped me needed competencies
for research and other professional activities. It also boosts my morale for
they conducted training that allow me to express what I feel and able to
voice out something”.
While, Participant 11 added that “It enhance our skills and it help
to improve ourselves”.
Participant 14 further conveyed that “These trainings have helped

me in my pursuit for professional development. These provided me with
opportunities to exhibit my expertise in teaching hoe to teach. I have also
learned the technicalities of conducting research as essential part of
teaching”.
11
Participant 17 exclaimed that “to improve your professional

development” and
Participant 18 also added that “For professional development”.
Lastly, Participant 19 also added that “the benefits of this

electronic training is to improve our skills”.
Out of twenty (20) participants who answered during the interview, three (3) of
them responded that one of the benefits of e-training is professional development.
According to Dimoff (2020), educating personnel is one of the most important
investments an organization can make during these tough times. Where most of the
organization have engaged into online training. According to Ridgewood (2017),
employees who participate in professional development will feel more confident and
competent to succeed. E-learning helps employees broaden their professional growth
opportunities while also increasing their happiness. Furthermore, Sharma (2017) stated
that skills are the foundation of all corporate training. Every piece of information and
experience the participants gain helps them improve their skills. Which of the following
employee trainings includes growth and development in specific skills, abilities, attitudes,
or behaviour of employees in order to achieve higher performance at the current job
Theme 3: Built Unity and Cooperation

Another theme has emerged from the participants. It states that another benefit of
e-training is that it built unity and cooperation. Below are their responses.
According to Participant 3 stated that “The benefits I’ve learned

from e-training are many to mention, such as camaraderie, unity, and
team building…”
Participant 12 added that “…it fosters amenity & cooperation and

the sense of belongingness”.
12
Out of twenty (20) interviewed participants, two (2) said that the benefit of e-
training is it built unity and cooperation. "Unity is strength," writes Stepanek (2014), and
"wonderful things can be accomplished when there is teamwork and collaboration." In
addition to this, Xaxx (2017) added that cooperation and teamwork boost organization's
efficiency significantly, were a cooperative team can achieve goals using far less time
and energy. Conversely, through this, employees could able to work together, and will
support one another to complete projects on time.
Theme 4: Convenient and Fits Employee’s Flexible Lifestyles
Every institution has been affected by the pandemic crisis. Not only in the
external environment but also in internal interactions, movement becomes restricted,
training has changed into an online platform, and employees attend through online
software. Another theme has emerged from the participants. It states that another benefit
of e-training is that it is convenient and there is a flexible access. Below are their
responses.
According to Participant 1 said that “…it is comfortable since we

just listen it through online”.
Participant 4 added that “one benefit is we can learn while we are

just in our homes…”
Participant 6 stated that “It provides training & seminars in the

comfort of your home/office”.
While, Participant 8 conveyed that “It is an advantage for those

who were from faraway places, were online training is convenient”.
Furthermore, Participant 20 also added that “…efficient way of

delivering it can be done anytime and anywhere...”
Four (4) out of twenty (20) interviewed participants said that e-training is
convenient. According to Brown (2018), stated that one of the most significant benefits
13
of e-learning is the ability to access courses from anywhere and at any time. E-learning,
or e-training, according to Christians (2020), has transformed and is used in schools and
businesses by allowing students and employees to learn on their own in a relaxed
environment. Furthermore, Andriotis (2021) stated that the flexibility available to
learners in an e-learning environment is increasing. Where they can access courses at any
time, from any location, and on any device, whether a laptop, tablet, or desktop . In
addition, Madden (2021) stated that through online training, participants can learn from
the comfort of their own homes while completing the same training as their colleagues.
Theme 5: Provides Employees with Ongoing Access to Key Resources
E-training courses and resources are accessible to participants anywhere and
anytime, whenever a participant needs them. Another theme which has emerged from the
participants on the benefits of e-training is that it provides employees with ongoing
access to key resources. Below are their responses.
Participant 19 said that “I can access resources easily that are used
during the training anytime and anywhere”
Participant 16 added that “I can easily access information and

materials in e-training”
According to Pappas (2020), online resources be accessed anytime, anywhere
from a mobile device or any device that an employee have, as long as there is an internet
and information are accessible. Where trainees can access courses on their smartphone
whenever they have a minute to spare-whether on their commute, in between gatherings,
or during a rest period (Brown, 2018). Furthermore, according to Bleich (2016), e-
training is an alternative that allows employees to access material from anywhere, at any
14
time, and it gives them the opportunity to access those resources right whenever they
need them. This online training provides employees with the information and materials
they need to improve, which leads to organizational success.
Problem 2: What are the challenges encountered by GADTC employees during e-

training?
In this question, four (4) themes have emerged. Employees of Gov. Alfonso D.
Tan College shared their experiences about participating on e-training and development,
especially in these trying times.
Theme 1: Lack of Focus
In this time of pandemic, many institutions and organizations have been
challenged, particularly in engaging in online training to maintain and develop employees
even in this tough time. However, one of the challenges that employees recognize during
e-training is the lack of focus. The following statements are some of the responses.
Participant 1 stated that “there would be a time that due to personal

matters we could not be listening and at the same time due to signal”.
Participant 2 added that “Time conflicts to my class schedule”
Participant 15 also added that “Less focus because it is in an online
platform”.
In addition, Participant uttered that “…lack of attention due to
several factors”.
While Participant 10 further conveyed that “there are times that I
cannot focus in the training because of other task that I need to attend to”.
Lastly, Participant 16 explained that “lack of motivation to the
listeners”
Out of twenty (20) participants who answered during the interview, five (5) of them
responded that one of the challenges they have encountered during e-training is the lack
15
of focus. Pavlou (2022) stated that online training participants simply sit, read text on a
screen, or listen to a lecture. When employees are not required to interact with the
information, they lose interest. The same author added that less emphasis on e-training
occurred as a result of less online interaction.
Theme 2: Slow Internet Connection
Our communication now is through the internet. Thus, it is now easy for us to
communicate with one another. However, we cannot control the internet connection that
we have, which has also emerged as one of the problems during e-training. The
utterances below explained another challenge which emerged in attending e-training.
According to Participant 3 and Participant 4 stated that “the

challenges of e-training is poor internet connectivity…”
Along with Participant 6, 7, 8,11, 12, 15,16, 17, 18, and Participant
14 added that “As I have conducted a training online, one obvious
challenge I have faced/encountered was the slow internet connection.”
Furthermore, Participant 20 conveyed that “slow internet

connection is one of the challenges in attending online webinars &
training”.
Out of twenty (20) participants who answered during the interview, thirteen (13)
of them responded that the challenges that they have encountered during e-training is the
slow or poor internet connection. Due to factors such as a poor internet connection,
online participants have experienced a lot of drawbacks or complications. According to
Delhi (2020), one of the most significant barriers to online learning/training is a lack of
strong and stable internet connections.
Theme 3: Adjustment on E-training
In this time of pandemic, there are many adjustments that employees need to
adopt, particularly in engaging in training programs that use a variety of software and
16
technology that is new to them. The utterances below explained another challenge which
emerged in attending e-training by employees. It is adjustment on e-training.
According to Participant 13 stated that “One of the challenges in

E-learning in GADTC, is that we have to adjust and be flexible enough to
current situation amidst pandemic. Adjusting the learning model for
students and on how to deliver learning in the most effective and efficient
way”
Participant 19 added that “there is big adjustment on the new

sitting of training which is through online that uses online platforms”.
Out of twenty (20) participants, two (2) said that the challenge that they have
faced on online training or e-training is the adjustment on technologies and learning
model. According to Anu (2022), it is difficult to shift from the traditional classroom
setting to the virtual learning environment. Where some employees are unfamiliar with a
particular online platform or technology,
Theme 4: Poor Learning Outcome
Due to the changes in platform on attending training, there are many factors that
affect the learning of employees on engaging in e-training, like the environment
and distractions that are present. The utterances below explained that another challenge
the employees encountered in attending e-training is the poor learning outcomes.
According to Participant 16 said that “one of the challenges in e-

training is the poor learning outcomes”
Participant 5 conveyed that “sometime e-training is not conductive

to learning”.
Out of twenty (20) participants who answered during the interview, two (2)
answered that e-training is poor on learning outcome. According to Martinelli (2018),
poorly trained employees are more likely to have poor job performance and higher levels
17
of work-related stress. Furthermore, the study of Riddle and Gier (2019), showed poor
engagement on learning outcome in online training.

SUMMARY OF FINDINGS, CONCLUSIONS, AND RECOMMENDATIONS
This chapter presents the summary of findings, the conclusions made and the
recommendations endorsed.
Summary of Findings
This study was conducted to evaluate the benefits and challenges of e-training of
the faculty and staff of GADTC. Descriptive qualitative research method was used to
come up with answers for the objectives of this study. A total of twenty (20) employees
were randomly selected among the employees of Gov. Alfonso D. Tan College.
Qualitative method of research was utilized, and an interview-guide questionnaire was
the tool used in gathering the data. Moreover, this study was conducted to determine an
effectiveness and challenges of e-training and development in this new normal and
recommend it to other institution or organization.
It was found out that employees gained benefits in attending e-trainings offered by
the institution. These benefits were reduced cost and saves money, increase knowledge
19
and skills, professional development, built unity and cooperation, convenient and fits
employee’s flexible lifestyles, improves teaching and learning efficiency, and provides
employees with ongoing access to key resources. These helped employees to gain and
improved their productivity at work. Moreover, challenges were also present in engaging
e-training and the challenges that employees identified were conflict to other task, slow
internet connection, adjustment on e-training, lack of focus, and lastly, poor learning
outcomes. Despite the situations due to Covid19, the institution was still able to provide
employees trainings to improve their skills and knowledge. Employees are the lifeblood
of any institution or organization, which is why institutions value their employees by
providing training and development.
Conclusion
The researchers conclude that the e-training have benefited the employees of Gov.
Alfonso D. Tan College. E-training enhances employee performance, skills, knowledge,
and proficiency. They are more engaged and driven to perform efficiently because the
institution consistently provides prospects for advancement. They are also confident in
their ability to accomplish their duties and remain productive because the institution
provides timely trainings for professional development. Engaging into e-training reduce
the cost, and saves time as employees do not need to travel and only learning in their

concluded that employees are still facing difficulties in e-training. Even though the
employees attended or participated e-training for a long time, they still experience
challenges. Thus, e-training has benefited employees who had participated in online
training in Gov. Alfonso D. Tan College.

guidance and accountability of employees, must provide relevant trainings and
development to employees that are best suited to their needs.
It must provide employees with information feedback or a training evaluation
based on the training they have received. Also, they must provides proper
announcements and information about the e-training that will be conducted to
prepare employees. The faculty and staff should undergo proper trainings to
improve and enhance their knowledge.
2. Employees must manage their time and know what task should be prioritized
during e-training.
