INTRODUCTION

Context and Rationale

One of the sectors that took a beating at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic

was education. The UNICEF, which continues to advocate for the resumption of in-

person classes in various countries, mentioned in an article that in 2020, while

schools globally were forced to suspend operations for an average of 79 days,

schools in the Philippines did not hold face-to-face classes for more than a year and

opted instead to have classes through online and distant learning modalities.

The indefinite suspension of classes and the subsequent, abrupt shift to new

forms of learning modalities posed several challenges, particularly for marginalized

students, such as unequal access to gadgets and online resources. This was another

blow to the country which, prior to the pandemic, was already struggling to raise the

quality of basic education. Two years after the government implemented lockdowns

and strict safety restrictions to quell the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the DepEd has

formally opened schools for face-to-face classes.

According to Laura W. Perna and Taylor K. Odle When academically qualified

people do not have the financial resources needed to enroll and succeed in education

fails to fulfill the promise of promoting social mobility and may actually serve to

reinforce social inequities. The cost of college attendance is rising faster than family

incomes, and increases in federal, state, and institutional grants have been
TAGUIG CITY UNIVERSITY
College of Education
insufficient to meet all students’ demonstrated financial needs between 2008-2009

and 2017–2018. Students who do not have sufficient savings, wealth, or access to

other financial resources have few options for paying costs that are not covered by

grants: they can take on loans, get a job, or do both. While these options pay off for

many students, a higher education finance system that requires the use of loans and

paid employment disproportionately disadvantages individuals from groups that

continue to be underrepresented in and underserved by higher education.

There are amazing things to be said about working while studying, student

work must be managed well. There’s no pressure for you to start working the second

you step onto that campus as a first-year freshman. Students study and try to earn

money for some specific reasons. Additionally, students before should only take on

work that they can handle but when a pandemic occurs more students decide to work

and there are some factors affecting how they can manage work and studies. Due to

the Pandemic working students are having difficulties managing work and studies at

the same time, but there are some resources that they can use to learn like video

records, power point modules, and etc. Also, they can attend classes through/using

their device. The importance of this study is to proposed flexible learning scheme to

justify the working students in third- and fourth-Year College pursuing bachelor's

degrees in physical education and elementary education are capable of attending the

Face-to-Face resumption and that doing so, won't have an adverse effect on their

employment or financial situation. It is also important to know if they are prepared to

learn.

THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK

Bandura’s Theory (1986)

The Social Cognitive Career Theory (SCCT)

Figure 2. The social cognitive career theory model of person, contextual, and

experiential factors that affect career-related choice behavior (From Lent et al. 1994.

R. W. Lent, S. D. Brown, and G. Hackett). This theory affirms that personal attributes

such as an individual’s internal cognitive and affective states, external environmental

factors as well as overt behaviors influences one another. In terms of career-related

behaviors, Lent and Brown (1996) identified three building blocks that regulate an

individual’s career behavior. These are self-efficacy beliefs, outcome expectations

and personal goals. A person’s self-efficacy beliefs enable the individual to judge his

or her capacity to not only organize but to implement various courses of action in
TAGUIG CITY UNIVERSITY
College of Education
order to arrive at a goal. Outcome expectations are the beliefs that are associated

with the consequence or the outcome of engaging in a particular behavior. Personal 4

goals become the motivation factor because they determine the individual’s intention

to engage in the outcome-producing activity (Bandura, 1986)

According to MacCuspie, et al. (2017), the IPO model represents a system in

three stages: input, process and output. Inputs are modeled as consumables and

efforts that are introduced to a system at the beginning stage of the lifecycle. Outputs 5

are modeled as the result produced by the system. Process is modeled as the

conversion of the inputs to the outputs.

The study's general framework and direction were provided by the IPO model.

The researchers created the model you see above by replacing the variables from

this study with those from the IPO model.

The flow of information and materials into the process is represented by the

Statement of the Problem

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, most countries have implemented lockdown and

social distancing measures, resulting in the closure of schools, training institutes, and

higher education facilities. A paradigm shift is occurring in the way educators deliver

quality education—via various online platforms. Despite the challenges that

educators and learners face, online learning, distance learning, and continuing

education have emerged as a panacea for this unprecedented global pandemic.

Therefore, this study aims to determine the Extent of Readiness of Working Students
TAGUIG CITY UNIVERSITY

to Face-to-Face Resumption: Basis for a Proposed Flexible Learning Scheme in the

College of Education at Taguig City University. Specifically, it seeks to answer the

following questions:

1. What is the demographic profile of the BPED students in terms of:

1.1 age;

1.2 sex;

1.3 year level;

1.4 status of employment; and

1.5 nature of work?

2. What is the level of readiness of the respondents on the Face-to-Face class

resumption in terms of:

2.1 financial capabilities

2.2 health

2.3 mobility and proximity; and

2.4- time management?

3. What are the perceptions of the respondents regarding the face to face class

resumption?

4. Is there a significant relationship between the level of readiness of the respondents

and their perceptions toward face to face resumption?

METHODOLOGY

Research Design

The studies make use of Descriptive Research the researcher utilize a survey

questionnaire to determine the level of readiness of working student towards face to

face class resumption. It enables the researcher to gather data in a setting that is

natural and provides accurate and high-quality data. Data collecting is quick and

simple, especially when conducting surveys.

Sampling Techniques

In order to conduct the study, the researchers used stratified sampling.

(According to Business Research Methodology,) stratified sampling is a type of

random sampling in which the population is divided into two or more groups (strata)

based on one or more common characteristics. Depending on the study's goals and

objectives, these attributes may include gender, age, income, level of education, and

so on. Drawing the boundary for this study, the researcher attempted to include the

3rd and 4th-year 24 BPED students of the College of Education at Taguig City
TAGUIG CITY UNIVERSITY
College of Education
University. In order to determine the Demographic profile, the perception and level of

readiness in the face to face class resumption in terms of financial capabilities,

health, mobility or proximity, and time management.

Research Instruments

Researchers use a Likert Scale to assess the research surface. The researcher

first ascertains whether students in the third and fourth years of the Bachelor of

Physical Education and Bachelor of Elementary Education programs are currently

employed before collecting data for their survey. They also consider their ability to

attend in-person classes.

Data Gathering Procedures

A letter of request was written to conduct this study. The subject-matter expert

gave his or her approval before the researchers produced the questionnaire checklist

and delivered it. The researchers used Google Form to conduct the study at Taguig

City University due to its strengths as a survey tool. The responders were asked to

react honestly at the researcher's request.

Statistical Treatment of Data


TAGUIG CITY UNIVERSITY
College of Education
The following statistical analysis will be used by the researchers in order to

interpret the data properly. The tools that will be used to evaluate the data are the

percentage, weighted mean, and Likert scale. The researcher combined the 3rd and

4th year colleges of employing purposive sampling to obtain the necessary number of

responses for this study.

Frequency Distribution (f). This tool was used to show how frequently

different study results occurred. The table provides a summary of the distribution of 11

values in the sample by counting the instances of each value within a certain group or

period.

Percentage (%). Based on the frequency/tally acquired, the tool was utilized

to determine a portion of the overall profile of the respondents.

Weighted Mean (WM). To calculate the entire frequency distribution and

arrive at the question's weighted mean, the frequency of respondents' perceptions as

asked in the research questionnaire were added up. Since it is less likely to contain

errors, the mean is most frequently used in central tendency calculations. Tabulated

data will also be handled using frequency distribution, percentage, and weighted

mean.

Pearson correlation coefficient - The strength of the correlations between the

various variables is measured by the Pearson correlation coefficient, sometimes

referred to as the Pearson R statistical test. When doing any statistical test between

two variables, it is usually a good idea for the analyst to compute the correlation

coefficient value to determine how strong the association between the two variables

is.

 If the correlation coefficient is -1, it indicates a strong negative relationship. It

implies a perfect negative relationship between the variables.

Written by CFI Team (2021) Self-employment refers to working for oneself

rather than working for a specific employer who pays them a salary. Self-employed

individuals often act as independent contractors by collaborating with other

businesses. Self-employment refers to working for oneself rather than working for a

specific employer who pays them a salary. It is common in a variety of occupations,

but one common theme is that self-employed individuals tend to be highly skilled in a

specific area. Some common types of self-employment include independent

contractors, sole proprietor ships, and partnerships. Advantages of self-employment

include being able to work with a high degree of freedom, independence, and control

over business decisions. Still, downsides include a high degree of employment risk

and a volatile income, as well as unlimited liability, and taking responsibility for all

business losses. Self-employment is common in a variety of occupations, but one

common theme is that self-employed individuals tend to be highly skilled in a specific

area. Examples of occupations in which self-employment is common include various

jobs within the skilled trades, writers, freelancers, artists, lawyers, accountants,

financial services professionals, and investors. Freelance is an Occupation.

allowance, accumulated 3.21 weighted mean. Secondly, the respondents also agree

that they was able to save money for the Face-to-Face class resumption, garnering

2.88 weighted mean. Next, respondents strongly agree that they have to consider

purchasing necessities like their personal hygiene kit and school supplies, which

gathered 3.29 weighted mean. Following that, respondents agree that they can save

money for other purposes in Face-to-Face classes because they don't need devices

or an internet connection to attend a class, with a weighted mean of 2.85. Finally,

3.00 weighted mean respondents agreed that they now have a steady income that

can cover potential expenses such as projects and activities.

The overall results of Table 7.1 demonstrate a weighted mean of 3.04, which

is explained as High level or Agree. This explains that the level of readiness of the

BPED and BEED 3rd and 4thYear College of Taguig City University on the Face-to-

statement of Face-to-Face class resumption will affect their sleeping routine

positively. The fourth statement’s mean score is 2.82, it indicates that the

respondents agree that they have energy to attend Face-to-Face if they have work.

As a last point, the respondents with the weighted mean of 3.15, agree that they need

to consider having check up to experts to make sure that they are vulnerable to

Covid-19 or in any viruses.

Results from all of the table no. 7.2 demonstrate a weighted mean of 3.04,

which explained as the High level or Agree. This explains that the level of readiness

of BPED and BEED 3RD and 4thYear College of Taguig City University on the Face-

To- Face class resumption in terms of Health is ready.

According to UNICEF (2020), resumption of face-to-face learning requires a

number of policy measures and clear guidance at the national level, some of which

the government has already outlined. This includes implementation of a

communication plan with schools and community members, continuous testing, use

of masks, hygiene promotion and access to functioning water, sanitation and hand

washing facilities, social distancing, transportation to and from school, disinfection

and ventilation of classrooms, safe food preparation, proper waste disposal and

prevention of stigma and discrimination, among others. The Framework for

Reopening of Schools and Guidance for Safe and Healthy Journeys to

Schools provide helpful checklists for adequate preparation. More than 22 million

Filipino children are able to enroll and avail of education services through different
TAGUIG CITY UNIVERSITY
24
College of Education
distance learning modalities. Distance learning must be understood as

complementary to, and not a replacement for, face-to-face learning. This is especially

true for learners who have no access to the internet or technology and whose parents

and caregivers are unable to provide active home-based support. The longer children

are out of school, the less likely they are to return, which alsoplaces them at

heightened risks for physical, emotional and sexual violence, exploitation and abuse.

In recognition of the crucial role of educators, UNICEF also calls for teachers to be

prioritized as recipients of the COVID-19 vaccine when it is available in the country

and once front-line health personnel as well as high-risk populations are vaccinated.

Affording teacher’s protection from community transmission of COVID-19 is a critical

step to provide education for all, especially the most vulnerable children. Our task is

clear but challenging. We must work together to improve education outcomes while

ensuring equitable access and strengthening the protection, health, and safety of

children.

In the study of As per Kyle Reiner Pineda Mass transportation is essential to

modern society. It is not exclusive to a particular demographic and should not be

taken for granted, even by people who do not rely on it to go about their daily

business. the worsening traffic congestion in the metro, the Philippines’ mass

transportation issue is now tantamount to a life-and-death issue, affecting all sectors

of society. Filipino students from different walks of life complain incessantly about

being late for work or about the amount of time they waste sitting in traffic. The mass
TAGUIG CITY UNIVERSITY 27
College of Education
transportation crisis affects students as well. As if trying to make it to class on time in

this traffic situation wasn’t tough enough, students must deal with other important

things like academics, family life and self-care.

The problem of mass transportation and getting around the city affects

Filipinos physically, emotionally and mentally. From sitting behind the wheel of a car

stuck in traffic for hours to lining up at the bus, jeepney or train stop under heavy rain,

students lose precious time that could have been used in studying, doing projects or

bonding with family and friends. Some students from the Katipunan area in Quezon

City are forced to use up their allowance (including lunch money) just to get to school

on time.

explain the high level or agree. This explain that the level of readiness of the BPED

and BEED 3RD and 4thYear College of Taguig City University on the face to face class

resumption in terms of Time Management is ready.

As stated by Rob Sabo (2011, January 15) balancing work and school is no

easy task, especially for full-time students who work more than 25 hours a week.

Juggling academic demands and a busy work week takes more than dedication and

determination. Careful planning can help you avoid overloading your academic and

work schedules, which can lead to poor performance and less favorable grades.

Avoiding outside distractions during study time can also help keep you focused on

your academic work.

CONCLUSION

This quantitative study explored the working students to face-to-face resumption:

basis for the proposed flexible learning scheme. The results were gathered,

computed, and based on the three (3) Statement of the Problem, which are the

following:

1. What is the demographic profile of the BPED students in terms of age, sex, year

level, status of employment, and nature of work?

The demographic profiles of the BPED students in terms of age are between

the ages of 21 to 23. The majority of our respondents are female, some are in their

third year and they all work full-time in preventative customer service.

2. What is the level of readiness of the respondents on the Face-to-Face class

consumption in terms of financial capabilities, health, mobility and proximity, and time

management?

In terms of verbal interpretation, the respondents' level of readiness for Face-

to-Face class consumption in terms of financial capacities, health, mobility and

proximity, and time management was Agreeable.

3. What are the perceptions of the respondents regarding the Face-to-Face class

resumption?

The respondents’ perceptions regarding the Face-to-Face class resumption

was Disagreeable.

4. Is there a significant relationship between the level of readiness of the respondents

and their perceptions toward Face-to-Face resumption?

Based on the result gathered by the researchers, there is no significant

relationship between the level of readiness of the respondents and their perceptions

toward Face-to-Face resumption.

Common questions

Powered by AI

Although the document does not explicitly link demographics to preparedness, demographic factors such as age, enrollment year, and financial background can indirectly affect readiness. Students from low-income backgrounds might face greater financial stress, influencing their readiness despite high agreement levels on financial capability (3.04 weighted mean). Educational backgrounds might relate to their subject-specific readiness, experiential learning, or year level, affecting confidence in resuming face-to-face classes .

Overall, students report a high level of readiness with means above 3.0 in financial (3.04), health (3.04), and time management (3.02) aspects, indicating agreement on their readiness to resume face-to-face classes . However, individual factors like managing work-studies balance (2.94 mean) and health precautions such as vaccination and check-ups (3.15 mean) show variability in individual preparedness levels .

Self-discipline contributes significantly by enabling students to attend and participate in classes regularly, as reflected by a weighted mean of 3.12 for self-discipline in class attendance . It helps in managing time, prioritizing tasks, and negating the desire to procrastinate, thus fostering an environment conducive to academic engagement and performance .

Full-time students working over 25 hours weekly face challenges in balancing academic and work responsibilities. High commitment levels and planning are necessary to prevent academic overload and poor performance. Avoiding distractions during study time is crucial. Despite agreement on self-discipline (3.12 mean) for class attendance, time management remains a struggle due to external pressures such as financial constraints and transport challenges .

Socio-economic factors impacting readiness include financial capability, access to transportation, and health resources. Financial ability to afford educational resources impacts perceived readiness (3.04 mean agreement on financial readiness). Transportation issues, such as traffic, consume time and financial resources, affecting overall preparedness (wasting time in traffic that could be for academics). Health resources, like vaccinations and check-ups, also influence confidence and readiness for class resumption .

Students perceive balancing time between work and study as a significant challenge, with an accumulated mean of 2.94 indicating agreement on this difficulty . They agree on having self-discipline for regular class attendance (3.12 mean), but despite agreeing to prioritize classes, they find it difficult to avoid postponing important tasks (2.91 mean).

Financial capabilities influence readiness by affecting students' ability to cover costs associated with education, such as school supplies and transportation. The document indicates a high level of agreement (3.04 weighted mean) among students that they have sufficient financial means for the resumption of face-to-face classes . Nonetheless, financial insecurity remains, as some low-income students rely on need-based assistance that may not cover all expenses .

The lack of a significant relationship, as indicated by Pearson Correlation values greater than 0.05, suggests that perceived readiness is influenced by factors not measured by financial, health, or time management aspects considered in the study. This discrepancy might arise from psychological, environmental, and social pressures not directly linked to those measurable aspects, leading to a disparity between perception and actual readiness .

Key health-related concerns include COVID-19 protocols adherence, vaccination status, and energy levels related to work. Students generally agree (3.04 overall mean) that they feel comfortable attending classes if COVID-19 protocols are followed and have increased confidence if fully vaccinated (3.26 mean). Regular health check-ups are also considered important to assess vulnerability to illnesses .

The mass transportation issue affects students by causing them to waste time in traffic, which could otherwise be used for studying or personal activities. It also leads to spending more of their allowance on transportation costs, thereby impacting their financial capability for other academic expenses . As a consequence, students are physically, emotionally, and mentally affected, leading to challenges in managing academic and personal responsibilities .
