Vol.3, No.1C

Abstract

This research shows the students the effectiveness of knowing their preferred learning style during an online class. One another needs to be informed of what their learning style should be applied when listening to the professor's discussion. Coping with the discussion somehow makes it difficult for the students who don’t know how to use their preferred learning style. We chose this topic first: to give some knowledge to students struggling with their studies. It might help and guide them as we learn about the differences of each learning style that best suits their capability to learn, especially during the pandemic when we use our gadgets to learn online classes. 

As we face the pandemic, many countries, including the Philippines, have shifted from classrooms to online education through online learning platforms. Even the Governments have endorsed mobile learning as a cost-effective way for students to continue their education. Online learning systems have benefited from this trend.

The researchers used purposive sampling, a form of non-probability sampling, to draw the respondents and will be used to determine the feedback of the population of the respondents. In purposive sampling, research relies on special knowledge or expertise about a specific group to a select subject who presents this study population. The researcher shows factors and advantages that criminology learners acquired during online classes. It also shows how the surroundings affect the focus of a student. Researchers tend to gather information on 4th-year Criminology students in Bestlink College of the Philippines. This research shows the efficacy of online classes by using your preferred learning style to communicate or participate with the professor, especially easily. Online class is the most known medium used during the pandemic.

One of the topics that this research shows is the problems that a student faces during online classes, and the survey shows that having an unstable internet connection, time management, and inappropriate surroundings has a high percentage of distracted students.
