Parents' Assessment of Online Learning: The Case of Grade One Students during the COVID-19 Pandemic

Abstract

In an elementary school in the Division of Lapu-Lapu City, this study assessed how the parents felt about their first-graders online learning. Thirty-four (34) parents in the school above were handed survey questionnaires as part of a descriptive-correlational study, and the data collected were analyzed using descriptive and correlational statistics. The study results showed that parents were generally impacted by the challenge of juggling the demands of employment and the educational needs of their children, overworked work, and sporadic Internet connectivity. They were less pleased with the advantages of online learning than with traditional face-to-face instruction. Parents' barriers and satisfaction with their children's academic success were not significantly correlated. In conclusion, parents are involved because they impact their kids' distance learning online. To assist and support parents and the school, action plans were created.
