Honie Mae Belen

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

One of the major effects of the COVID-19 pandemic is the sudden shift to distance learning among basic education schools in the country. With this, stakeholders play a critical role in helping pupils cope with the demands of the said modality. This study was conducted to determine the school, parents, and community support in the new normal and their relationship to pupils’ academic success in Alcala East District, Division of Cagayan for the School Year 2020-2021. A mixed method of research was utilized employing both quantitative and qualitative research designs. A stratified random sampling was used in this study to determine the total number of participants from Grades 4 – 6. The results revealed that the extent of support of the school and the parents for pupil’s academic success was to a moderate extent. Meanwhile, the extent of support of the community for pupil’s academic success was low. Furthermore, there is no significant difference on the extent of support of the parents in terms of the profile variables. Moreover, pupilparticipants had a moderate level of motivation in learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. There was also a moderately favorable attitude of pupils in modular learning in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic. As a result, the academic performance of pupils in modular learning approached proficiency with a mean grade of 81.01. In addition, there is a significant relationship between the extent of support of the school, parents, and the community and the level of academic success of pupils in terms of motivation, attitude towards learning, and overall academic performance. Results of the qualitative data revealed four major problems encountered by pupils in modular distance learning which include the following: (1) lack of academic support, (2) poor internet and mobile connection, (3) physical and mental stress, and (4) overloaded lesson activities. The study concludes that school, parents, and community support for pupils’ academic success during the new normal is important.
