Summary

The study aimed to determine the challenges encountered and the

suggestions offered by the faculty members who are currently employed to

private schools and how they assessed the implementation of online learning.

The respondents of this study were the Faculty members from the St. Anne

Child Study Center and Infant Jesus Learning Academy Center of Rodriguez Rizal.

This study utilized Descriptive Evaluative Method, the researchers conducted an

online survey through Google form and a virtual interview via Google meet, as well

as document any analysis in gathering the data needed to know about the

challenges encountered in the online learning in the private school. Most

iii
of the faculty members agreed that online learning platforms helped them in the

new mode learning both schools utilized the online application “Schoology”.

The challenges encountered by the faculty members of the private schools

in online learning, most had encountered poor internet connection and cheating.

Some of the faculty members also had struggled in interacting with students and

to follow the new teaching system. While others struggled with students’

dishonesty and their lack of desire to learn.

The faculty members of private schools suggest enhancing the features of

online learning platforms such as upgrading accounts to premium and to have

stable internet connection and complete devices for both teachers and students.

Most of them also suggested to equip them with seminars and orientation on how

to effectively use online learning platforms and to master other techniques in

teaching through online. Most of the teachers were fresh graduates who were

eager to gain teaching experiences in private schools. Female faculty were more

dominant than male teacher in numbers

The Faculty members assessed that the implementation of online learning

was useful and it helped them ease their teaching. Most of the respondents were

interested and enjoyed teaching using online learning platforms. The faculty

members of private schools encountered challenges and they suggested that the

online learning platforms should be practiced and enhanced.

The researchers recommended to school administration to administer an

intervention program that may enhance the capabilities of their teachers. The

school may strengthen the partnership with its stakeholders through continuous

iv
communication. It is important that in implementing various Distance Learning

Modality, there should still be strong partnership with the learners, parent, and

community for a successful implementation of new learning modalities.
