Jasper Pabroa | Daisy Obiso

Discipline: Education

 

Abstract:

The rapid expansion of online education due to the pandemic necessitates an examination of the relationship between online learning quality and academic performance. This study utilizes a mixed-methods approach, combining multiple regression analysis and thematic analysis, to explore this relationship comprehensively. The multiple regression analysis, with a significant p-value of 0.00 (p<0.05), establishes a clear connection between online learning quality and academic performance, affirming our hypothesis. This statistical foundation forms the basis of our investigation. In parallel, the thematic analysis delves into practical dimensions, gathering insights from interviews with Lyceum of Cebu, Inc.- Barili Campus students who experienced online classes during the 2021-2022 school year. It uncovers effective teaching strategies, emphasizing the positive impact of high-quality online learning on learning outcomes. The analysis also highlights the significance of regular virtual discussions and proactive teacher-student communication, which enhance interaction and accountability, leading to improved academic performance. Furthermore, the thematic analysis identifies key determinants of learning outcomes within the home online learning environment. Factors such as parental support, a conducive study environment, and opportunities for socialization and collaboration are linked to online learning quality. In conclusion, this integrated approach provides a comprehensive understanding of the relationship between online learning quality and academic performance. It emphasizes the crucial role of a well-designed online learning environment in achieving positive learning outcomes, highlighting the need for ongoing research and action to enhance online education's accessibility and quality.
