Profile and problems encountered in distance learning among Bachelor of Elementary Education students: A basis for a proposed action plan
Abstract
This work sought the profile and extent of problems Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) students encountered in distance learning as the basis for a proposed action plan. This study made use of descriptive-correlational research methods. Respondents were the Bachelor of Elementary Education (BEEd) students at Mindoro State University, Bongabong Campus (MBC). The study used a researcher-made instrument. Results showed that most BEEd students enrolled at MBC are 21 years old, female, in a state of lower income, single, and in their 4th year. BEEd students foster problems in distance learning concerning geographical location, internet connection, time management, and study habits. There is a significant correlation between demographic characteristics and issues faced, particularly regarding civil status and geographic location. These characteristics include adaptability, distractions, computer problems, and a lack of motivation and support. Socioeconomic status is only significantly related to internet connection, as not all students can participate in distance learning due to financial constraints.
