 Learning Online: “Promoting Quality Education in the New Type of

Learning Modalities Amidst Pandemic”.

II. Introduction

A quality education is one that provides all learners with capabilities they require to

become economically productive, develop sustainable livelihoods, contribute to peaceful

and democratic societies and enhance individual well-being.

Today, growing numbers of Colleges in Universities are temporarily canceling their

face-to-face classes to deal with the impact of the COVID-19 situation. In our life there

have been many changes. Schools and Universities have been closed down including

Bicol University and that has affected students' education. Students, their parents, and

educators around the world are feeling the extraordinary ripple effect of the novel

coronavirus as schools are shutting down and quarantine methods are being ordered to

cope with the global pandemic.

Even we're in pandemic, education still wanted to pursue by government as

students dwelling in different situation. Obviously, they're concerned that we will be late

in the system of education if this wouldn't be conducted. Our advocacy is intend

specifically to the students of Bicol University. The bueños' social status where belong

to higher class and mostly in middle and in lower class. It shows that, not all are capable

to adopt this mode of learning. For the fact that they don't have same situation and

same background in able to agree in having synchronous class always. But

2
unfortunately, all bueños have no choice, so they must do something in able to join

online class. It is fortunate to have professors that conduct asynchronous and even

synchronous, they need to understand the students' problem. Due to some reason like

having poor connection. But it's not only about the capability's issue that they are

experiencing. With online classes, students may experience challenges as it relates to

increased screen time,” Oyoque and Brown said in an email. “(Students) may

experience increased fatigue, headaches, lack of motivation, avoidance/procrastination,

ineffective time management, feelings of isolation due to limited socialization in-person,

minimized awareness and understanding of others created by in-person dialogues.” It is

also included in their mental health, the lack of financial and some of personal

problems. These past month ago a three student in our region died to an unexpected

illness that took a wrong turn, who committed suicide and the reason was the online

class. The first case was a 19-year-old female student from Sto. Domingo, Albay. The

reason financial and she was stress on it as their family's income isn't high. Second, a

21-year-old male from Sto. Domingo, Albay again. His mothaer believed that being not

enrolled was the reason behind of his departure. Also, she was not fully aware that his

son suffered from depression. Third, it happened this past month of September. A 21-

year-old female from Iriga City committed suicide where her parents don't know that she

have problems. It said, gadget and internet connection was the recent problem which

gives difficult on her online class. So these issues is alarming and we should take any

actions. We don't want let it happen to some of bueños, which is there are hindrances in

this new of education system that leads to mental health problem. This advocacy will be

3
the voice of bueños that no one should left. Where the unfortunate and unprivileged

students must give attention.

As the primary key to ensuring the quality of online education, instructors need to

adjust their attitudes to teach online, understand what qualifications are needed, and

know what they could do ensure the quality of online education instruction. As Deubel

(2003) has argued an instructor’s attitude, motivation, and true commitment affect much

of the quality of online education instruction. High quality online education instruction

encourages discovery, integration, application, and practices. Instructors need to

discover students’ learning preferences, integrate technology tools, apply appropriate

instructional techniques, put them all into practices, and generate the most suitable

method for individuals.

VI. Evaluation/Reflection

We heard a lot of news about status of students dealing with the new normal

education system. Many problems and issues occur and it continues to rise that may

lead to sudden decision such us to give up and cease on what they are facing now. This

project's purpose is to achieve and to obtain the main goal of this advocacy as it has

said in the title, “Promoting Quality Education in the New Type of Learning Modalities

Amidst Pandemic.” The proponents want to have fair and equal condition for the fact

that we students are the future leaders. Also, the proponents deeply believed that

students are willing to learn and they are hoping for a better education system to feel

like it’s still normal (like face to face class) despite the fact that we are all in this new

type of learning.

No one actually knows when will the end of this pandemic and there is no

assurance for some students if they'll still pursue their online classes until it last. So with

this advocacy, it wants to show the importance of education, as stated in 1987

Constitution Article XIV Section 1, that “The state shall protect and promote the right of

10
all citizens to quality education. Make such education accessible to all.” As citizens of

the country, we have seen how blind the government was, about the education system

we have. So as the proponents of this project, we strongly emphasize to have an equal

treat to all the students—privileged or not. The proponents aim to give priority to discuss

the adversities that are still experiencing by students and make ways on how to build

quality education.

This advocacy can also be an instrument or voice of every students of Bicol

University to reach out their concerns regarding this new normal education. In addition,

this advocacy wants to acknowledge not just the essence of quality education, but also,

the mental health awareness and financial problem, that the government and other

agencies should take actions to solve the said issues.

The proponents will also be benefited in this project. Aside from being involved in

raising and addressing the problems, it will also enhance our critical thinking,

communication and awareness about the current issues. In addition, as the

proponents, our knowledge would be widen to discuss a reliable and precise

informations about our advocacy and its implementation.

The goals of our advocacy aren’t easy to achieve. We, the proponents from Bicol

University, and the other students in our university will be the target audience, the

University's Student Council would be a great help. They can help us meet the goals of

this advocacy project since they can target lots of individuals. Yes, the proponents are

11
still students. But, as the future of this society, everyone must do their part in showing

that the students are seeking for help and that the government must hear our concerns

so that they can have a better education system that will surely be accessible for all.
