Difficulties in Remote Learning: Voices of Philippine University Students in the

Wake of COVID-19 Crisis

Introduction

Erwin Rotas and Cahapay Michael are both the authors of "Difficulties in Remote
Learning: Voices of Philippine University Students in the Wake of the COVID-19 Crisis," which
focused on the educational systems that migrated to remote learning due to the COVID-19
crisis. The pandemic had a big impact on education in the Philippines; all the face-to-face
classes turned into online classes or remote learning that responded to the challenges of
educational delivery. During the first few months of the pandemic, many students took it as an
opportunity to have time with their family since it was online, but when the pandemic continued,
many of us got bored, wanted to bond with friends or other people, got angry because of
difficulties on the internet, and many more reasons. Remote learning not only gives students
headaches but also gives them existing inequalities, which may translate into barriers to online
learning. This pandemic has advantages and disadvantages in the educational crisis in the
Philippines. Like poverty, many students don’t go to school because they don’t have money for
transportation, but during the pandemic it gives them an opportunity to study at home, learn,
and save money.

Discussion

My reactions to the journal were mixed emotions because, during the time of the
pandemic, there were positive and negative changes in the education crisis. One of the positive
impacts or changes in the education crisis is that we can learn from our homes, we can study
wherever we are, we can attend classes even if we are far away, and the distance is not a
problem to take exams, but we also experienced negative impacts or changes such as that we
must have loads of internet to connect with our teachers since we can’t communicate with them
face-to-face, we also experience stress because of too much school paper work, there is no
quiet place for us to study during exam weeks, and many more.

I think that through this journal, the voices of Philippine University and other schools will
be heard, and face-to-face classes will be back to normal since many students stop attending
their schools because of the requirement that each of them must be vaccinated.
I have also found a most recent comprehensive study including 31 countries (Bozkurt et
al., 2020) was also conducted to look at how the COVID-19 pandemic interrupted the education
arena across the globe. This multi country study significantly reported reflections, lessons
learned, and suggestions on how to navigate education in this time of uncertainty.

Conclusion

In conclusion, I would strongly recommend that the government hear the voices of the
students regarding the face-to-face classes so that everyone will be back to normal, including
the bonding, the classroom environment, face-to-face consultation with the teachers, and other
activities related to academics.
