imposition of strict health protocols (Rotas & Cahapay, 2021). Because of this,
many school systems migrated from the traditional face-to-face classes to online
classes, also called the distance learning program launched by the Department of
administrators, teachers, parents, and learners every day (Bangayan et al., 2021).
difficulties and challenges related to online classes, such as but not limited to
isolation, significant decline in the learners’ mental health, lack of technological
topics for discussion with the professors, lack of proper environment for learning
or doing online tasks, and poor internet connection (Barrot et al., 2021; Gillet-
universities/colleges (Barrot et al. 2021; Wasil et al. 2021; Rotas et al. 2021). But
there are limited studies regarding the challenges, the coping mechanisms, and the
effects
of these coping mechanisms to learners that are still in the K-12 curriculum. And
if there are, like the study of Bangayan et al. (2021) discussing the challenges,
effects, and coping mechanisms of 21st century TLE learners in online learning.
The data that it was able to provide was limited to form a robust generalization.
Thus, this study aims to fill in the void by further studying the challenges
brought by the new normal classroom as well as the effect of those challenges to
the 21st century TLE learners. Moreover, the ways on how TLE learners cope
with those challenges and how the coping mechanisms they utilize affect them.
The completion of this research will help academic and health institutions
generalize the possible challenges the learners are facing and the coping
mechanisms that the learners employ to deal with it. This can also help in the
formulation of a proper response and guidance for the challenges that can be
foreseen. Plus, this can serve as a guideline for learners to know what possible
coping mechanisms are available for the challenges they are facing.

b. emotionally; and
c. socially?
3. How do the 21st century TLE learners cope with these challenges?
The results of the study will be beneficial for academic institutions as it can help
them to learn about the challenges and coping mechanisms of learners in the new
normal classroom. Data derived from the study can be a guide in creating a better
educational system.

classroom; discern the positive and negative effects of those challenges to their
mental, emotional, and social health; discern the appraised changeability of these
challenges as perceived by the 21st century TLE learners; and identify the coping
mechanisms TLE learners do to cope with the challenges brought by the new
