“…This evident with the very slow to no internet connectivity of the low-income sector and people in rural areas [25]. The problem with internet connectivity has already been plaguing the Philippines even before the onslaught of the pandemic [5]. Participants of the study of Rotas and Cahapay (2020) indicated unstable internet connectivity as one of key challenges they face when doing flexible learning specifically online learning [31].…”

This research primarily aimed at determining the frequently occurring words, the sentiment and the underlying latent themes in the responses of faculty members towards the shift from conventional to online teaching using data mining techniques. Orange data mining software was utilized to preprocess and analyze the data. VADER sentiment analysis and Latent Dirichlet Allocation Topic Modelling were used to generate the overall sentiment and the themes of the teachers’ responses. Results revealed that the most frequently occurring words in the responses of teachers were blended, online, students, teaching, teachers, learning, difficult, challenging, internet, and connectivity. Twenty-three (23) out of 37 (62%) responses were determined to have negative polarity making the general sentiment of faculty members towards the shift to online learning negative. The following themes were generated after the application of Latent Dirichlet Allocation Topic Modeling technique: unexpected shift from conventional to blended teaching, Mental and Physical Health Issues Related to the Implementation of Blended Learning, Online tools used in the conduct of Online Classes, Difficulties and Challenges in the Conduct of Blended/Online Learning, Slow Internet Connectivity as a Major Impediment in the Conduct of Online Teaching.

“…In relation to this, several studies in the Philippines showed some opposing views regarding the connectivity of the internet and the utilization of gadgets or devices for virtual learning. Another relevant concept by Casillano (2019) points out that only a small number of students have accessibility to the internet, which prevents them from accessing various elearning platforms used in school. Moreover, in a similar study conducted by Cleofas and Rocha (2021), students who come from households that generate low income do not have the luxury of owning computers or laptops, and their internet access is also limited.…”

The main purpose of this study was to examine the correlation between parental involvement (PI) and academic performance (AP) among junior high school (JHS) students in selected schools in Cebu. This study employed a quantitative correlational design. There were thirty (30) JHS students who participated in this research who were identified using a simple random sampling method. Descriptive statistical tools, particularly mean and standard deviation were used to describe the level of PI and AP of the students. Consequently, the Pearson product-moment coefficient of correlation test was run to assess the correlation between PI and AP among JHS students. Based on the findings, it showed that there is a very low negative correlation between the two variables. Thus, there is no significant correlation between PI and AP among JHS students, r (30) = - .06, p = .74. With these results, the null hypothesis was not rejected since the p-value is greater than the significance level, p > .05. Therefore, PI does not affect the AP of the students. Findings suggest that educational staff and administrators be able to identify other factors that influence the AP of the students. Because the scope of this study is restricted within the perception of students towards PI, it would be better for the future studies to let the parents of the students be involved, and their side will be taken into consideration; new variables in the inquiry – motivation and self-competence among students; and to conduct a qualitative or a mixed-method study for future studies about the topic.

“…This is supported by various studies in the Philippines that have revealed some conflicting feelings about internet connectivity. A research conducted by Casillano (2019) revealed that only a small percentage of students have internet access, making it difficult for them to reach the elearning platform.…”

This study investigated the growth mindset of college students in English language learning and the challenges they encounter in an online setting. Using a researcher-made questionnaire about the growth mindset of college students in English language learning and the challenges they encounter in an online setting, data from the 60 respondents in the study coming from the different colleges or departments of the Notre Dame of Midsayap College were analyzed quantitatively. Findings indicated that students have a high growth mindset and that factors such as motivation, criticism, environment, and effort had played a major role in their English language learning. Major challenges of students in an online setting include finding difficulty in accessing online materials due to poor internet connection, experiencing headaches and body pains due to prolonged exposure to gadgets, and getting bored easily when class time is too lengthy. The least challenges encountered by students in an online setting yet also hampered their learning are lacking gadgets such as a cellphone and laptops, feeling disconnected from the instructor, and excessive workloads. Furthermore, there is no significant difference in a growth mindset in terms of sex and college or department. However, it was found out that College of Nursing (CN) got the highest mean when it comes to their growth mindset. Meanwhile, College of Information Technology, and Engineering (CITE) got the lowest mean. Moreover, there is a significant relationship between the growth mindset of English language learning and the challenges they encountered in an online setting.
