Vol.3, No.1D

Abstract

Online learning offers several benefits for students who want flexibility while attending senior high school. The Internet is our main method of learning in this new type of education: gaining knowledge, attending classes and managing virtual classes. Also, the pandemic has changed the education system drastically. As of today, students are attending online classes, and students have to adjust to virtual learning. However, students faced problems in online classes due to internet connectivity because some faced problems regarding Internet Connection. To prove the assumption that there are challenges encountered by grade 12 humanities students from an internet connection for online classes, an online survey was distributed to fifty (50) grade 12 humanities students as a respondent to the study, and we used a simple random sampling technique to give all humanities students an equal chance to be selected as our respondent. Based on the results presented through survey and questionnaire, most grade 12 humanities students agreed on the challenges of internet connection in terms of academic performance, financial status, technical issues and time-bound. They also said that students usually have difficulty doing morning activities due to slow connection. They often do all their paperwork at night because the internet connection is much faster at night rather than in the morning. Based on the summary of the results, the researchers came up with the following recommendation. For students, saving their internet usage and using it wisely for their academics is recommended. It is recommended for the teachers to do lessons and other activities that can easily be seen, read and learned by the students with less internet consumption. Based on the findings, the internet is a helpful tool for students in academics, and students cannot access e-learning sites without internet connectivity if a student wants to have better grades. It is recommended to have a stable internet connection when entering an online class.
