A Quantitative Analysis of Different Learning Strategies for Senior High School Students in the "New Normal"

Along with hitting certain regions of the country, the COVID-19 outbreak substantially impacted all academic institutions, prompting the traditional classroom structure to be adjusted immediately. Governments have shifted to a virtual learning environment to alleviate separation from educational activities and boost involvement. The primary objective of this research is to examine the different learning techniques used by senior high school students at a Philippine University when they engage in online learning. This study investigates the underlying pedagogies and instructional designs employed in the production and delivery of online courses. Numerous challenges, including infrastructure and school readiness for a rapid transition to distant education, would develop due to the rapid transformation in education. The researchers employed a descriptive technique in conducting this study and set survey questions to collect data from respondents. The non-probability sampling approach is used in this study, and the results are analyzed using a 5-point Likert scale to determine the mean and standard deviation. The study's results indicate that although students are dissatisfied with the online setting due to its performance differences from the traditional approach, they believe the course material to be fascinating and relevant for the future. It is also indicated that the online learning materials have a significant impact and are convenient to their education. The researchers recommend that institutions arrange asynchronous and synchronous sessions throughout the week and that institutions pay more attention to course design. Finally, students should investigate the school's potential for online instruction.
