Senior High School Students’ Attitude Towards the Implementation of Emergency Remote Teaching amidst the Pandemic
The effects of the COVID- 19 pandemic on students are not equal because of some factors, including cognitive and non-cognitive acquisition. Also, the availability of educational tools and connectivity dramatically affected the students and added to the existing academic gap. This study determined the attitude of Senior High School students (SHS) at Western Institute of Technology, Philippines, towards the implementation of emergency remote teaching (online delivery mode) amidst the pandemic. The qualitative analysis was used to gather the attitudes of respondents. The number of respondents and the interview length were determined when the point of saturation was reached. The formulated researcher-made questionnaire in the quantitative analysis was based on the results of the qualitative analysis. The total collected responses were 329 via Google form. The summary of thematic analysis recorded five (5) statements of apprehensions and five statements (5) of openness. The results of the central tendency showed that the majority of the students, regardless of gender, grade level, and strand had higher confidence about the listed apprehension than the listed openness. Statistical analyses showed that students’ responses in the listed openness regardless of gender, grade level and strand had no significant difference (p>0.05). Statistical analyses of listed openness were not consistent with the listed apprehension. In conclusion, the implementation of emergency remote teaching (online delivery mode) brought advantages and disadvantages to the students during the pandemic.
