 Malayan Colleges Laguna - Senior High School Research Papers
The researchers of section B23, group 4 of Malayan
Colleges Laguna, have concluded that most of the students
are able to cope up with their studies with the implementation
of the new online learning system in this pandemic, but there
are still some that are having a hard time coping. Even though
some are able to cope with it, they are experiencing mental
health and emotional problems just like the others that cannot
cope due to the different environment and situations that they
each have caused by the pandemic. Lastly, the results of the
survey from the 76 respondents showed that they prefer
face-to-face classes or suspension of classes more than taking
online classes till the pandemic ends.

Recommendation

For future researchers interested in the topic, it is

recommended to take a much larger and much more diverse
sample size, that can include students from varied
backgrounds to get a much more accurate representation for
the entire student population in the Philippines.

However, based on the findings in the study conducted on

Malayan Students, It is recommended that schools should be
more considerate in how they manage the system for the
instructors and their students. They should give less activities,
make sure that the online tasks they give can be done without
any short due deadlines, so that the overlapping or piling of
works will most likely not occur or have the same due date
with other tasks, and to fix their class schedules so that it will
be more comfortable and fitting for the students. Due to the
pandemic, it has also brought many financial problems,
especially with some parents losing their jobs and aren’t able
to provide for the studies of the students. Due to this reason,
we also recommend that schools be temporarily suspended
until the pandemic ends, it may seem like it will take awhile
for each student before he/she could study again, but what
matters more are their safety, health, and the financial welfare
for them and their families. With all that being said, it will be
much better if everything could go this way, for it will benefit
and even help the students focus on their personal problems
caused by the pandemic without the hindrance of online
classes adding more difficulty to their situation.
