Introduction
pressure in the current scenario. With the continuous stress of completing the given
assignments before the deadline or preparing projects which is really not that useful for us,
children and their parents and teachers often tend to forget what is education, the importance
of education in life and how to impart education within the minds of the students rather than
just making them fill their notebooks like a robot. Though the education system all over the
world has taken a great leap and includes various methods of creative learning for the
students, yet the present education system entails a lot of drawbacks with it. Even with the
grading system being introduced to almost every other country, students still chase behind
scoring parameters rather than focusing on the essence of learning. (Adams, 2019)
The COVID-19 Pandemic has brought many changes to the world especially in the
and Bangladesh kept their schools closed for the longest, because of the increasing cases of
COVID19 victims. In total there are 131 million students in 11countries who have missed
more than three quarters of their face to face learning. School closures have created a shadow
crisis for the learner including the struggles they’ve experienced in home based learning and
in online learning.
Education is a solid foundation of life because it develops important life skills that are
useful in growing up. Students commonly experience struggles at school, normally it is part of
learning but because of COVID 19 Pandemic, the struggles being experienced by the students
are uncontrollable. It leads to mental breakdown and lack of opportunities to learn. The
COVID 19 Pandemic has a devastating impact in all aspects of human life, in a span of weeks
we all have been affected; it crashed economies, challenged our living and brought a
permanent effect on the education system. It turned out to be something like a whirlpool that
destroyed us with no warning but the government is doing precautionary measures to stop the
virus from spreading. This all resulted in schools being shut down. Globally, there are 1.2
billion total students in 186 countries are out of the classroom, this all resulted in independent
learning at home.
Behavior and attitude of students in the new normal perspectives have an impact in their
learning process. It contributes to self-determination in the new normal classes and framework
theory of learning engagement and supports the influence of the new normal classes and
learning perspective development. The study examines how the observed behavior and
attitude of students in the new normal perspective of learning and identify how the behavior
and attitude of students can be addressed in the new normal perspective of learning among the
respondents. The study employs the qualitative descriptive phenomenology research design
and method. It is a scientific and philosophy method that undertakes the variation of the study.
It is a typical method of data collection involved in the Focus Group Discussion (FGD),
respondents. Results show that behavior and attitude of students during their online learning
classes are lazy to study, wake-up late in the scheduled time of their classes, students are
enjoying their sleep in the morning, lack of sleep, and are hungry because they have not eaten
their breakfast during their online classes. Moreover, adjustment in online classes show that it
is very early, students are not used for online classes, students are not serious in their studies,
and students have difficulties in their online classes, while internet issues show that students
encounter slow connection, busy doing online game aside from their online classes, and
Theoretical Lenses
There is broad writing contrasting the qualities and shortcomings of internet instructing
versus up close and personal educating. Now with standing and shortcoming of internet
instructing the assessment of under studies with respect to the two modalities. Brownstein and
Gerlowski (2008) thought about the various modalities utilizing an appraisal rubric for two
understudy articles. They found that learning results were similarly vigorous in one or the other
organization. Gibson (2008) analyzed and observes that the eye to eye understudies did
somewhat better than the web-based understudies. Chen and Jones (2007) inspected two
segments of a course, one helped eye to eye, the other showed principally on the web and
observes that the two courses had comparative last learning results.
The purpose of this qualitative study is to understand the experiences of North Davao
Colleges Senior High School Students in academic learning in the new normal and how they
came up with the new learning strategy to continue their study despite of the situation.
Research Questions
1. How do the experiences of the SHS students during the new normal affect their studies?
2. What are the disadvantages of having a class in new normal?
3. How do the students handle the new normal teaching method?

This chapter is a discussion of the pieces of literature and the result of other related
research to which the present study is related or has some bearing similarities.
Amidst the coronavirus outbreak, many countries are encountering a dramatic situation in
terms of the global economy and human social activities, including education (Tang et al.2020).
Education is responsible for shaping a person, just as individuals play the most significant role in
shaping the status of a country. As a result, education is the backbone of any country (Bansal,
2020) and the COVID-19 Pandemic has given everyone a chance to pave the road for digital
learning to be introduced (Dhawan, 2020). Moreover, schools have changed from traditional
face-to-face classroom instruction to flexible learning and virtual classrooms, wherein learners
must overcome various challenges (Tria, 2020). The said pandemic outbreak poses serious
concerns to global and local education system. Efforts to contain COVID-19 triggered the
unscheduled closure of schools in more than 100 countries throughout the world, resulting in the
absence of nearly one billion students (Onyema, 2020). In a study by Plakhotnik et al (2021),
they study the impact of the pandemic on university students living worldwide. It concentrates
on the students well-being which has been found to be as crucial to students’ lifelong prosperity
as their educational achievement (Bates and Boren, 2019). It was found and revealed that this
major crisis negatively influences student’s well-being and their interests in their studies.
Identical to a research article by Almendingen et al. (2021), it is aimed to analyze how university
students perceived the unexpected shift to online teaching during campus closure due to the
Covid-19 outbreak. In May 2020, students in Public Health Nutrition completed questionnaires
after two and twelve weeks and took part in digital focus group consultations. After two weeks
of lockdown, 75% of students said their lived had become more stressful and difficult, and 50%
thought learning outcomes would be harder to attain as a result of the abrupt move to online
schooling. According to a research article written by Amir et al. (2020) which explores the
perspectives of classroom and distance learning during the Covid-19 pandemic in Dental
University Students in Indonesia, they investigated the preferences of most of the students based
on the situation during this pandemic. The result revealed that a greater quantity of students
preferred classroom learning for group discussions, as distance learning resulted in more difficult
communication and gave less learning satisfaction because it is associated with challenges.
According to Pham (2021), these challenges included external factors such as unstable internet
connection, the extra financial burden for the internet allowance and internal factors such as time
management and difficulty concentrating while comprehending online for a longer period of
time. Tipon et al. (2021) investigated the relationship between self-efficacy and academic
motivation of senior high school students from public schools amidst the new normal of
education in the Philippines due to challenges such as internet connectivity, overload of lesson
activities, financial-related issues, lack of resources for online classes, and mental health-related
problems. The findings demonstrated a high level of self-efficacy, implying that Senior High
Students remained in high and intended to complete their school tasks and other activities.
Access, cost, flexibility, and approach are the vastly new normal learning difficulties (Silva,
2021). Moreover, the absence of social connection, housing accommodations inappropriate for
some office tasks, particularly inadequate data bandwidth, and an overall sense of lost desire and
effort were the most prominent difficulties among students in different regions (Jandric, 2020)
and it shows that students who struggle to engage in online learning or who lack of reliable
internet connection and resources are said to be falling behind (Jeantheau, 2020). However, a
growing number of resources have been produced with recommendations on how to best
implement recovery programs, such as scaling up tutoring, summer learning programs, and
The Coronavirus pandemic influences global understudy portability as a rule, albeit the
degree changes due to sociocultural, conservative, and political complexities for various
gatherings of worldwide understudies. Specialists and teachers have made fast moves to inspect
the effect of the pandemic on Chinese understudies or global Chinese undergrads' instructive
results and emotional wellness during the Coronavirus pandemic. For instance, Chi et al. (2020)
analyzed the predominance and chance variables for poor emotional well-being of Chinese
college understudies by directing a cross country online study of north of 2000 understudies in
China and viewed that as more than 30% of respondents showed side effects of posttraumatic
stress jumble. Yu et al. (2021) did a comparative study on Chinese undergrads and their
outcomes were significantly more disturbing with practically 57% of respondents (n = 1681)
demonstrating burdensome side effects. Contrasted with these understudies in China, worldwide
Chinese understudies experienced more difficulties that could affect their emotional well-being.
Chinese global understudies in the U. S. experienced at the early and later phases of Coronavirus.
In the beginning phase when the infection was first found in China, Chinese worldwide
understudies got analysis for "bat eating", loading up facial veils to send back home, and the
Wuhan lockdown. In the later stage, when the episode of Coronavirus began in the U.S., Chinese
worldwide understudies got going against messages. Families and companions encouraged them
to return to China (when China had balanced out the circumstance). In any case, rare trips
between the two nations suggested that understudies ought to remain in the U.S. to stay away
from the spread of the infection in the two nations (Mama and Mill operator, 2020). Different
difficulties of strategy changes incorporated the chance of being not able to get back to the U.S.
because of the movement boycott forced by the U.S. government and the danger of being
powerfully sent back to their nations of origin without a trace of face to face class enlistment. As

From the presentation of the Chinese Service of Training's "Home Study" Drive in mid-
February 2020, eye to eye guidance generally stopped what's more, around 180 million Chinese
essential and auxiliary school understudies started going to classes on the web, under confined

(MoE, 2020). The resulting spread of Coronavirus all over the planet has seen more nations join

Reseach Design
This study describes how the researchers addressed the crisis; a qualitative
phenomenological research design was used by the researcher. This design is used to study a
person's own experiences with a certain issue. The major goal of a phenomenology research,
according to Christensen, Johnson, and Turner (2010), is to explain the meaning, structure, and
topic. The issue being examined in this instance is the experiences of NDC SHS students in
academic learning in the new normal. Because this is a relatively common occurrence nowadays.
Participants
There are 10 participants of the study, 3 students from Grade 11 STEM, 2 students from
Grade 12 STEM, 2 student from Grade 11 HUMSS and 3 students from grade 12 HUMSS. In
choosing the respondents of our study, we’ve established criteria. First the participants must be a

month among the Senior High School Students of North Davao Colleges who have experienced
the new mode of learning. All the interviews were recorded and lasted for 15 minutes or less.
Collection of Data
The data was being gathered through Key Informant Interview, which entails asking questions
about the study that have been approved by the instructors. And was done via messenger calls
and voice messages. Since the participants have had prior experience, they can supply the
necessary data as well as their insights instantly. The data was collected in the following manner:
first, the researchers obtained the participants' agreement via a letter requesting for permission to
participate that was delivered to the participants as well as the school where they were studying.
After obtaining permission from the school and the intended participants, the researchers were
able to schedule an interview at a time and medium that was most suitable to them.
