7.1 Background of the Study

Study habits play an important role in the

development of knowledge and visual perception abilities.
Students will be able to perceive how much they will gain
knowledge and how deep they can progress with overall
better study habits, especially in the attainment of good
academic performance. The purpose of this research is to
provide students and educators with knowledge about the
perceived effects of study habits on the academic
performance of the University of the Cordilleras College
students. The primary goal of this study is to measure
the effectiveness of study habits of students of the UC
College students during online distance learning and
face-to-face classes and their gender based perspectives.
The researchers want to attain a greater understanding of
the factors that affect students' study habits so that
this study can guide college students on how to improve
their study habits and educator on how they can guide
students.

7.2 Summary
This study aimed to find out the study habits of UC
College students and the effectiveness of study habits on
the academic performance of the students, specifically
determining the answers to the following research
questions:

1. What is the level of effectiveness of UC college

students post pandemic study habits on their
academic performance along:
a. time management;
b. study environment;
c. availability of resources?
2. What is the significant difference of post pandemic
study habits of UC college students along:
a. Online Distance Learning; and
b. Face-to-Face Learning?
3. What is the significant difference in post pandemic
study habits: perspectives that are based on
gender?

The study used the descriptive correlation method

in order to achieve its purpose. The data were collected
through a questionnaire and treated using the Likert
scale. The data is then tested using weighted means, an
average mean, and an analysis of variance in order for
the researchers to come up with conclusions and
recommendations.

7.3 Findings

The following were the significant findings of this

study:
1. Level of Effectiveness of Study Habits on the UC
College Students along:
a. Time Management: The study habit’s overall
effectiveness significantly improves student
academic performance. Spending a day studying
and studying before the examination day are the
study habits that the students find highly
effective. T h es i s
b. Study
AbstractEnvironment: The study habit’s ove r a l l
effectiveness moderately improves student academic
performance. Studying alone is effective for
students.
c. Availability of Resources: Availability of resources
and their overall effectiveness moderately improve
student academic performance. Using the internet to
get information and as a reference for assignments
is effective in helping students prepare projects
and assignments that help them get better grades.

2. There was no significant difference between Online

Distance Learning (ODL) and Face to Face (F2F)
limited classes.
3. There was a significant difference between male and
female college students.

7.4 Conclusions

The following conclusions were deduced from the

findings of the study:
1. Level of Effectiveness of Study Habits on the Academic
Performance of the UC College students along:
a. Time Management: Time management set clear goals and
priorities in order to complete significant
priorities that will help improve academic
performance.
b. Study Environment: Students who study in a
comfortable environment are more likely to work
much harder and boost their academic performance.
c. Availability of Resources: Resources provide
learners opportunities to learn that allow them to
develop concepts and abilities while working in a
variety of situations that will help students get a
better grade.
2. There was no significant difference between Online
Distance Learning (ODL) and Face to Face (F2F)
limited classes.
3. There was a significant difference of Study Habits
between male and female college students.

7.5 Recommendations

In relation with the findings and conclusions of

this research, the followings are recommended:
1. Students should not have a long break intervals between
classes and the instructors should give graded recitations
or activities after discussion for them to make sure that
the students understand the discussion.
2. Implement noise control measures in shared spaces, such
as installing soundproofing materials to minimize
noise transmission between rooms.
3. Professors should provide activities that involve a
visit to a library.

THE PROBLEM

Background of the Study

Academic performance is impacted by study habits,

according to international research. Data suggests that

students who lack knowledge about learning strategies do

not accomplish efficient and consistent studying, and

therefore do not achieve a proper level of academic

achievement. Students with higher academic accomplishment

use these abilities more than educators with lower levels

of achievement. Good (2019) stated that "the study habits

produce positive academic performance, while inefficient

study habits lead to academic failure".

Ozdamar-Keskin, Ozata, Banar, and Royle (2020),

students in online distance education in Asia have a

variety of learning preferences as well as problem-

solving and project management skills. Ambar and Boedhi

(2019) note that participation in a higher education

institution's open and distance learning program

necessitates autonomous study on the part of the

students. Students' performance in Open and Distance

Learning (ODL) courses is also influenced by their study

habits. According to Faize (2018), educators who work

with ODL students must look for learning environments

that support students' study habits. according to the

 The Problem
15

technology used. Online settings can meet learners’ needs

in open and distance learning by ensuring that learners

utilize available media or material to enhance their

learning as they learn at their own place, pace and time

(Georgiadou & Siakas, 2020).

In Baguio City, study habits significantly

contribute to the development of knowledge and perceptual

capacities. With improved study habits, students will be

able to gauge how much they will learn and how far they

can go particularly in the accomplishment of learning

tasks stated in their self-learning modules. According to

Rabia as cited by Carino (2021), students’ study habits

are often disregarded as they rely on their teachers in

understanding their lessons in face-to-face interaction.

But this time, the pandemic paved the way for learners to

develop their study habits suitable to their needs. If

improved study habits result in improved academic

performance, then students’ self-confidence improves as

well. Moreover, the academic performance of the students

is the product of an inter-play of factors like effective

study habits and skills, good teachers, and congenial

school and home environment. Thus, students’ poor

performance in an examination could be attributed to

teacher non-performance, and poor study habits and skills

and uncongenial learning environment.

 The Problem
16

Based on observation most of the University of the

Cordilleras students like the researchers, experience

poor study habits that negatively affects the academic

performance. Several studies indicate that a lack of ICT

equipment (e.g. printers) at home and limited knowledge

on its use, and even the lack of a quiet place to study

are among the negative impacts of Covid-19. An

increasing number of college courses are delivered

online, especially with the use of synchronous

technologies, which provides an opportunity for

educators to search for the most suitable learning

environments for students’ study habits. According to

the technology used, online settings can meet learners’

needs. The synchronous setting serves desktop sharing,

video sharing, audio, verbal chat, presentation,

whiteboard, online survey functions. The instructor

presented the content during synchronous sessions, and

discussed students’ questions.

Emotional intelligence is a main area in educational

psychology and a key factor in the academic life of

students. It deals with deviant behavior through self-

awareness and self-motivation, regulates emotional and

social skills and converts emotional energy into positive

energy. (Iqbal, Asghar,Ashraf, Yi 2022) . Thus, they have

a positive impact on academic performance conditions.

Conversely, negative emotions such as hopelessness and

 The Problem
17

boredom are set to reduce motivation and easy processing

of information, implying a negative impact on

performance.

Online learning platforms enable a wide variety of

videos, images, animations, texts, and audios to be

created and shared. In their study, Sharpe and Benfield

(2020) found that there were some connections among

habits and performances and suggested a deeper

investigation into eliciting the experiences, habits,

and strategies of effective e-learners. ODL students

are, therefore expected to exhibit a great level of

digital literacy (Maphosa & Bhebhe, 2019).

There are so many factors influencing the ability of

student to cultivate effective and efficient study habit.

The point to poor study habits as one of major causes of

poor academic performances among Nigerian University

students. Other researchers agree that good study habits

have positive effects on performance. According to Thomas

and Robinson as cited by Avenido et al. (2018), further

experiments on study habits have shown that the SQ3R

method has the main features of effective studies,

particularly when the purpose is to gain a thorough

understanding of content. To improve test performance

students should begin reviewing a week before a test. The

key to improving test performance is to employ effective

 The Problem
18

study habits and techniques all semester and then employ

effective reviewing techniques one week before a test.

The four-step PRWR (Preview, Read, Write, and

Recite) study approach is more popular in the

Philippines. According to Langan, who was referenced by

Avenido et al. (2018), it entails scanning an entire

chapter for several minutes before reading it carefully.

At both the high school and college levels, students who

adopt effective study techniques, such as taking notes

and analyzing notes and texts, are more likely to retain

what they have learned. Students in distant education are

more immersed now in a web-based learning environment, as

Harris (in Peker Ünal, 2021) wrote. According to Radha

et al. (2020), online distance learning has become the

solution for most students to continue their schooling

amidst the pandemic, since people choose to learn at the

comfort of their home and the convenience attached to it.

Regrettably, this may not be similar nor applicable for

all students in a developing country like the Philippines

where internet connectivity is unstable and technological

resources are bounded due to high demands and costs.

During the pandemic, internet connectivity is a

popular complaint being highlighted among students of the

University of the Cordilleras since the internet is slow.

Wireless connectivity is another challenge as the nation

 The Problem
19

has seen on television or read news reports of students

going up on flexibility in the curriculum for non-

mountain sides or on hilltops to catch wireless signals

to use the internet (Averia, 2020). Additionally, Adonis

(2020) mentioned a teacher who believed that the smaller

class size was caused by a bad internet connection

because millions of kids and parents were having trouble

adjusting to the new educational platforms brought on by

the recent coronavirus outbreak. Students, especially

those from outlying areas, struggled greatly due to the

slow internet connection. There is significant evidence

in the literature that online distance learning

presented difficulties for students.

The study was planned and carried out keeping in

mind the importance of the students' learning abilities

and habits as well as the crucial part they play in

academic performance, as well as the fact that different

people and places have different study habits and that

the findings of related studies can vary. The lackluster

study habits of college students, which have a

detrimental effect on their academic achievement,

motivated the researchers to carry out this study.

The primary achievement of distance learning and

regular students is managing time effectively.

Mismanagement disturbs the academic achievement of

 The Problem
20

learners. Time Administration plays a significant role in

improving learner’s performance and accomplishments.

According to a study conducted by (Ahmad; Batool;

Choudhry 2019) Time managing is a massive distinction

between formal and web-based education, the capacity to

manage time effectively is identified with scholarly

achievement, and alternately, a poor timing leads

towards failure and achievement level is decreased.

Furthermore if a student manage time effectively then

their educational achievements are improved

successfully. Thus time management is very important for

each students.

Further, the variables for study environment are:

are within reach, have radio, record player, and

television when studying, prefer to study alone rather

than with others, the area of study is free of noise and

distractions and is comfortable, and can study in the

area for at least half hour without getting up, walking

about, taking snack or TV or phone breaks.

Lastly, the variables used for the use of resources

are: go to the library at least once a week for studying

and reading and use books and other printed materials to

study, use the internet of online research engine, such

as Yahoo and Google to find out information, watch

videotapes, movies and short files to help me practice

listening to and speaking the English language, use

 The Problem
21

people-resources available when needed in asking

questions and help, and attend review sessions when

offered. These variables are useful in the present study

to determine the study habits of Gulf College Students.

Expectancy Theory explains motivation in terms of

an individual's perception of the performance process

through assumptions. This includes that student expect

certain outcomes of behavior and performance along with

students believe the effort they put forth, the

performance they achieve, and the outcomes they receive.

To have good study habits, a student must stop

depending on their teachers for constant guidance. This

will enable them to develop into independent learners who

can retain information in their long-term memory. Some

habits are bad study habits, such as memorization,

bringing information to learn at the last minute,

learning in a dimly lit environment, and using messy or

disorganized workspace. As these practices have long-term

detrimental effects on students' academic performance, it

is expected that students will not take them into

consideration.

The way that students approach their studies is

important. Each student's ability to succeed or fail is

based on his or her individual study habits. Studying

requires practice because it is an art. Some students put

 The Problem
22

in more study time yet do not get better results. Some

students learn less yet accomplish more. Each student's

talent, intelligence, and effort have a direct impact on

their success. Without a doubt, successful study habits

have their own rewards in the form of success. Study

habits are the actions taken by students to enhance their

learning when they are engaged in the learning process.

Studying habits are meant to elicit and direct a

learner's cognitive processes.

The objective of the study is to determine the

effects of study habits students at the University of the

Cordilleras along time management, study environment, and

availability of resources in order to have a clear

understanding of the study habits of students that would

help in future plan formulations for a better study habit

towards improved academic performance.

The study's findings can be used as a starting point

for analyzing how pressures placed on students affect

their study habits. This study will serve as a guide and

aid the College students of University of Cordilleras in

developing tactics to enhance students' learning

techniques. It will also act as the cornerstone for the

college's upcoming innovation program, which aims to help

students develop better study habits. The results of this

study will help professors and deans better understand

 The Problem
23

the study patterns of college students, enabling them to

give the students the support they need to improve their

academic performance.

This study will guide students in determining their

positive and undesirable learning strategies that affect

their performance in school. This study will serve as a

motivator to boost the academic performance of college

students through effective study routines. This study

would also serve as a guide for further research into the

study habits of college students at other universities in

Baguio City.

Theoretical/Conceptual Framework

The theory used to guide the study is Expectancy

Theory.

Expectancy Theory. In this study, according Victor

Vroom as cited by Oluwandamilola (2019), the students

will behave in a way that will produce the results they

desire for. In other words, students make decisions

depending on what they anticipate the results to be.

Students anticipate that if they study with the correct

mindset, they will perform well on assessments. Vroom

did propose, however, that the decision-making process

is also influenced by how likely believe those rewards

to be. In this case, students may be more motivated to

study more effectively if mid-term and final exam is

 The Problem
24

approaching and it is important for them to do well on

it. When scholarship opportunities are plentiful and

will give students an additional motivation to succeed,

this is another factor that motivates them to study.

This theory is related to the study habits because

it can be used to understand behavior and performance

based on how the individual expects certain outcomes

from the performance or behavior that occurred. A person

could want an 90-100 on a test so they would be very

motivated and driven to study days prior to receive the

reward.

This would allow us to understand the individual behavior

towards work and to predict the performance. The key

constructs in the theory will also help to understand

ones behavior and predict performance when its applied to

a situation.

Along time management expectancy theory can be

observed because the students managing their time

effectively because of their efforts will lead to a

successful task completion, which is then followed by

desirable outcomes or rewards. Expectancy of students

can be seen in the question of “I do advance reading

during vacant time”, instrumentality is seen in the

question of “I spend more time in studying” while

valence can be observed in the” I study before the

examination day”.
 The Problem
25

Along study environment expectancy theory implies

that students are motivated to engage in academic task

when they believe that their efforts will lead to

success. Educators can enhance motivation by providing

clear expectations, showing the relevance of discussions

in real-world applications to help students to

understand that their efforts will yield positive

results and value their academic outcomes.

In the context of availability of resources,

expectancy theory suggests that students should expect

that investing time in studying will lead to the

availability of study resources and consequently better

academic performance then, they would likely be

motivated. University of the Cordilleras can enhance

motivation by ensuring that necessary resources are

readily available, communicating their relevance, and

fostering an environment where students see clear

connection between their efforts, availability of

resources, and academic success.

DESIGN AND METHODOLOGY

This chapter focuses on the research design, locale

and population of the study, research instruments and

tools for data gathering, data gathering procedures and

statistical treatment of the data.

Research Design and Methodology

The researchers used the descriptive-correlational

method as their research design. A descriptive

correlational study is one in which the researcher is

primarily focused on describing relationships between

variables rather than attempting to establish a causal

relationship. This quantitative research method seeks to

describe the relationship between two or more variables.

The purpose of this study was to provide a better

understanding of the effectiveness of study habits on the

academic performance of the University of the Cordilleras

college students between male and female, and the

significant difference between online distance learning

(ODL) and face-to-face learning methods.

Population and Locale of the Study

The study was conducted in University of the

Cordilleras, Baguio City school year 2023-2024. This

study involved the UC college students. The researchers

chose UC College students as respondents to determine

their study habits along time management, study

environment and availability of resources.

The respondents of the study were the UC College

students that experience Limited Face to Face and Online

Distance Learning who were enrolled in the University of

the Cordilleras. The total population of the study are

the 15,928 UC College students who were currently

enrolled at the University of the Cordilleras. The

researchers used Slovin’s formula to get the total

number of respondents which is 390 in all.

A simple random sample is a randomly selected

subset of a population. In this sampling method, each

member of the population has an exactly equal chance of

being selected. This method is the most straightforward

of all the probability sampling methods, since it only

involves a single random selection and requires little

advance knowledge about the population. Because it uses

randomization, any research performed on this sample

should have high internal and external validity (Thomas,

2022).
 Design and Methodology
31

Simple random sampling is used to make statistical

inferences about a population. It helps the researchers

ensure high internal validity: randomization is the best

method to reduce the impact of potential confounding

variables. Each member of the population has an equal

chance of being selected. Data is then collected from as

large a percentage as possible of this random subset.

Data Gathering Tool

The questionnaire is the primary tool for gathering

data from student-respondents. These questionnaires

comprised pertinent information that aimed to find out

the study habits of UC College students and the

effectiveness of study habits on the academic performance

of the students. A questionnaire is the research tool of

this study because this can provide a quick and effective

method for collecting a large amount of data from large

sample sizes. This tool was utilized for assessing the

attitudes, preferences, and behaviors of the UC College

students.

The questionnaire was adopted from Puma-at and

Hamed's study on "Study Habits of Business Students

Towards Achieving Academic Performance”. The

questionnaire’s reliability was evaluated with ten

respondents using Cronbach's Alpha, and the results

showed a 0.87 that is in the range of 0.80-0.89 and the

 Design and Methodology
32

internal consistency is good which means that the

questionnaire has passed the reliability.

Part I comprised the personal profile of respondents.

Part II comprised the study habits of the UC College

students along time management, study environment, and

availability of resources. Part III comprised the level

of effectiveness of study habits on the academic

performance of the UC College students.

Data Gathering Procedure

The following stages were followed in carrying out

this research, which was effective in assessing the

effect of study habits on the academic performance of UC

College students: The researchers formulated a

questionnaire that was checked by the adviser for the

questionnaire validity. After that, the researchers

prepared a request letter and cover letter for the

respondents, stating the purpose of the research, which

is to be approved by the adviser and the dean. The

researchers then requested data from the registrar's

office on the total number of students in the UC

Colleges for the school year 2023-2024. In order to

obtain the total number of respondents, the researchers

used Slovin’s formula to determine the sample size.

After that, the researchers started collecting data by

letting UC college students answer the questionnaire

form, the
 Design and Methodology
33

researchers explained that in Part II of the

questionnaire, and they determined the level of

effectiveness of study habits on their academic

performance. After the students finished answering the

questionnaires, the results were immediately tallied and

tabulated. The collected data formed the basis for the

presentation, analysis, and interpretation of the

findings.

Treatment of the Data

To be able to carefully analyze the findings in this

research, three methods were used because the

questionnaire varies and must be treated with different

methods.

The researchers will be using statistical

treatments to interpret the gathered data and answer the

research problems. Each question in the statement of the

problem has its own statistical treatment used to

interpret the data effectively. Mean Interpretation and

Analysis of Variance are the statistical treatments

needed for this study.

Average Weighted Mean. The average weighted mean

used to calculate the center of the data from the

respondents' answers to Part II of the questionnaire.

Likert Scale. To answer statement of the problem 1,

a four-point Likert scale was used to determine the level

 Design and Methodology
34

of effectiveness of study habits on the academic

performance of the University of the Cordilleras college

students.

The 4-Point Likert Scale on the level of

effectiveness of study habits on the academic performance

of the UC College were shown below:

PRESENTATION, ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION OF DATA

This chapter presents the data, interpretation and

analysis of data gathered from the survey questionnaire

and interview and review of studies and resources related

to this research.

Level of Effectiveness of Study Habits on the Academic

Performance of the UC College Students

Tables 4 to 6 showed the indicators for the level of

effectiveness of study habits on the academic performance

of the UC College male and female students, along with

time management, study environment, and the availability

of resources. The level of effectiveness of study habits

on the academic performance of the UC College students is

effective, along with time management and environmental

factors and the availability of resources.

Time Management. Table 4 shows the level of

effectiveness of study habits on the academic

performance of the UC College students along with time

management, with an overall weighted mean of 3.16

interpreted as effective, which signifies that the study

habit's overall effectiveness moderately improves

student academic performance. The factor time management

is effective which means that scheduling tasks and

assigning them the proper amount of time will help

students to accomplish
 Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data
37

their task on time and utilize the available time

productively.

Overall Weighted Mean 3.16 Effective

The indicator with the highest weighted mean of 3.45

describes that they usually spend a day in studying and

study before the examination day and with the overall

weighted mean of 3.16 along time management suggests that

the UC college students are using their time management

skills effectively. It shows that studying for long

periods of time can help in the productive retention of

information. Preserving information comes with time, thus

highlighting the importance of studying over a period of

days to ensure that one’s brain is efficiently

 Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data
38

registering the information presented to them. It is a

good indication that students spend more time studying

before the examination day, which is a good study habit

for them to obtain higher grades and finish their course

as scheduled. If students can devote their time and pay

attention to acquiring information and knowledge, their

academic performance will improve (Yadav, Ansari, &

Savant, 2018). Students receive better grades if they

spend more time studying (Kim, 2019). They must take the

necessary approaches and apply those strategies in order

to be effective and more productive. Having these skills

gives students the ability to plan ahead and prioritize

upcoming assignments and events. This is an important

factor in keeping students organized and avoiding

procrastination, and ultimately leads to academic

success.

These findings imply that the Level of Effectiveness

of Study Habits on Academic Performance of the UC College

students along Time Management is effective in their time

management skills students can have a positive impact on

students' study habits. When students learn to take

control of their time on a daily basis, it improves them

in their ability to get things done, good grades and make

better for their academic performance. Ahmad et al.

(2019) stated that human beings need to create balance

 Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data
39

among things and activities while adopting time

management techniques effectively.

Study Environment. Table 5 shows the Level of

Effectiveness of Study Habits on the Academic

Performance of the UC College students along study

environment with an overall weighted mean of 2.95

interpreted as effective which signifies that the study

habit's overall effectiveness moderately improves

student academic performance. The study environment is

effective which means students prefer to study in a

place where they can focus completely and less likely to

be distracted by others. Acording to Abdolreza et al

(2018) that environmental factors (noise in educational

institutions has a negative and appropriate

coloring ,lighting of educational environment and

schools' open space) has impact on learning and academic

achievement of elementary school students.

As shown in the table, students prefer to study in

a quiet and comfortable place. Students who study in a

positive learning environment have been shown to be more

motivated, engaged, and to have a higher overall

learning ability. On the other hand, students learning

in poor environments – those that are uncomfortable,

loud, or full of distractions – will find it far more

difficult to absorb information and stay engaged.

Acording to Abdolreza et al (2018) that environmental

factors (noise in educational institutions has a

negative and appropriate coloring ,lighting of

educational environment and schools' open space) has

impact on learning and

 Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data
41

academic achievement of elementary school students. With

this in mind, let’s look at how your surroundings affect

the way you study, and consider some of the best ways to

create your ideal learning environment (Hendrix, 2019).

Studying alone allows you to set the perfect study

environment so you get the most out of studying. Studying

alone also allows you to use the study tactics that are

the most effective for your learning style (Loeffler,

2022). However, Effective study groups can help students

learn course material in a deeper, more concrete way.

Groups that are effective generate positive energy,

encourage active participation, instill discipline, and

require commitments from members. These skills are

certainly important for learning (Annenberg Institute at

Brown University, 2019).

The lowest indicator along environmental factors is

the statement “I study continuously without standing,

walking, taking snacks, TV and phone calls/messages”

with a weighted mean of 2.48 for students. These

findings imply that it students prefer to take small

brakes between study their study period thus helping

students to divide larger, more, time-consuming task

into smaller, more manageable chunks. Taking a break

while studying is a way to refresh the brain and body to

increase energy, productivity and ability to focus. To

corroborate the
 Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data
42

findings, based on the study of Kisno (2020) students

which have breaks in between their study session improves

student’s reading ability accountability and manage

distractions. Taking breaks also helps reduce mental

fatigue.

Availability of Resources. The use of internet to

get information and as a reference to accomplish the

assignments is a study habit that is very effective

along availability of resources which means that Table 6

shows the Level of Effectiveness of Study Habits on the

Academic Performance of the UC College students along

Availability of Resources with an overall mean of 3.30

interpreted as effective which signifies that the study

habit's overall effectiveness moderately improves

student academic performance. The factor availability of

resources is effective which means that resources give

students learning opportunities by allowing them to

develop concepts a while studying in a variety of

situations, which will help them to get a higher grade.

Chenyere et al(2019) both students and teachers need

facilities such as libraries, laboratories, good

buildings, classrooms, good water supply, toilet

facilities, security, etc., for teaching and learning to

take place and the student’s use of available physical

 Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data
43

resources in schools influence their academic

performance.

“I use the internet to get information and as a

weighted mean of 3.20, Students use the internet to get

meanings of the terms that they do not know. They gather

information from various websites when they are preparing

their individual or group presentation as well as their

 Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data
44

projects and assignments. This finding was also noted in

the study of Sharna (2019) wherein the importance of

internet in the education of students means that it

makes easier for them to research things and relearn the

content taught in the school. People use it according to

the needs and interests.

The statements " I go to the library for studying,

reading and borrowing books" and " I use other people’s

books and other resources" which garnered the lowest

weighted mean of 2.78 for UC college students,

suggesting that students are less likely to visit the

library because they prefer to utilize the internet and

e- library in canvas, which is faster than borrowing a

book from the library. It implies that the students do

not frequently go to the library for studying, reading

and borrowing books and frequently use other people’s

books and other resources.

This finding was also noted in the study of Kim

(2019) in which the Korean students use resources such as

magazines, video tapes, maps, books, encyclopedias,

globes, drawing sets, library resources, and many others.

To corroborate the findings based on the study of Marcus

Bank (2019), students must still go to the library.

Yutchman and Seashore stated that Resource System Theory

is relevant to this study because school interaction with

its environment is critical for the acquisition of

 Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data

educational resources which ones utilized effectively by

students in UC College students to have good academic

performance.

The t-test value of 5.33 resulted to a p value of

0.01 which is greater than .05, hence, the hypothesis

that there is no significant difference between Online

Distance Learning (ODL) and Face to Face (F2F) classes

is
 Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data
47

accepted. The findings imply that there is a significant

difference between Online Distance Learning (ODL) and

Face to Face (F2F) classes. More time to learn from

classmates and from family members, and more time given,

would mean more practice in completing the requirements

given in a subject. This implies that the significant

difference between face-to-face and online learning

relates to the role of the instructor and the

implications that this has for the learner. In face-to-

face learning situations, instructors can maintain a

stronger sense of leadership over classroom processes.

They can exercise greater control over learners’

attention, motivate learners, and make immediate

adjustments if communication breaks down. Although some

may decry a strong leadership role for the instructor,

others suggest that a teacher-directed approach in a

face-to-face environment is beneficial in certain

situations.

To corroborate the findings, based on the study of

Munirah et.al (2021) wherein online learning is less

effective and inspired among students than face-to-face.

Students’ readiness for online learning is good, but it

must be accompanied by adequate internet connection and

technological equipment. Based on the study of Faith and

Hafize as cited by Mahlan et al. (2022), the level of

 Presentation, Analysis and Interpretation of Data
48

achievement of students who take online class is better

when compared to the face-to-face. In an in formal

interview conducted, implies that online learning was

more satisfying than face-to-face since online academic

achievement was at a relatively high rate due to the

availability of information shared online, which is more

creative than traditional methods. Students are more

satisfied with online learning. Similar study conducted

by Chalerm et.al (2020), which evaluated the test scores

of students who have taken online and face-to-face tests.

The findings indicated a significant difference in scores

between the two approaches, with the online examination

scoring significantly higher. They also proposed that

more studies need to be done to discover new effects and

assessment to maintain the level of knowledge in the long

term.
