Abstract

A study described the lived-experiences of teachers who implemented online education in various schools in Palawan. Data were gathered through in-depth interview and researcher-assisted survey questionnaire. Results showed that teachers perceived online education as easily adaptable. Similarly, challenges such as extended time spent in preparing learning materials like modules and digital presentations; complexity of assessing students’ works, and inadequate knowledge on tools, applications and the different online teaching techniques and assessment methods. While numerous problems and challenges were encountered, there were also identified opportunities in online education such that it will ensure teachers and students safe from COVID-19 and other communicable diseases; learning can continue in the comfort of the participants’ homes; students who are technically advanced can learn fast in online education; students can connect to their teachers more personally using chats or emails; and students living outside the city or town can save more money instead of traveling and renting apartments or boarding houses for face-to-face learning.
