The study focused on the lived experiences of English teachers in Online Distance Learning (ODL) in the new normal. The study aimed to determine the degree of the pre-identified challenges and their feelings about teaching through ODL. The participants of this study involved five (5) Junior High School English teachers of the Basic Education Department (BED) in private schools in Laguna, Philippines in this first school year under the new normal, the SY 2020-2021. The study employed quantitative and qualitative research methods. The researcher obtained the mean from the raw data of the pre-identified challenges in teaching English through ODL in three (3) aspects: preparations, conduct of lessons, and assessment and feedback. The results revealed that the participants, being in ODL modality for almost a year now, found preparations very easy, having a mean of 3.40. Consequently, they considered that in the other two (2) aspects, they did not find much difficulty with 3.00 as the mean as the school year ended. These results showed that the participants have a low degree of difficulty in the pre-determined challenges as experienced in the ODL. This is due to their adjustment for a year now being first time-teachers in this new normal. As for the qualitative results, the hermeneutic phenomenology was used to identify their feelings about their teaching through ODL. Eight (8) themes emerged about their feelings in the beginning, middle, and end of the school year. At the beginning of the school year, the teachers had feelings of anxiety and challenge. In the middle of the school year, they had feelings of inefficiency and stress. However, they also felt hopeful that this pandemic would soon be over. Lastly, at the end of the school year, the teachers concluded their first school year in ODL with the feelings of fulfillment, confidence, and resilience.

Using the descriptive research design, this study aimed to do a results-based analysis of online and modular distance learning of the students’ academic performance in English on first and second quarter of school year 2020-2021 in Don Manuel Rivera Memorial National High School. The respondents of the study were composed of 50 Online Distance Learning (ODL) Students and 250 Modular Distance Learning (MDL) Students from Grades 7 to Grade 10 levels of Don Manuel Rivera Memorial National High School. This is a descriptive study using the questionnaire as the main tool in gathering the data. The data gathered were treated using frequency distribution and percentage statistics, weighted mean, standard deviation, and T-test. The mean level of parents’ support to ODL students was 2.72 interpreted as “Moderately Supportive” indicates that parents are somehow extending additional support to their children in accomplishing the tasks given to them. On the other hand, the mean level of parents support to MDL students was 2.95 interpreted as “Moderately Supportive” indicates that only few parents extend their support to their children despite the awareness that their children have no direct contact to their subject teachers to give them assistance in understanding the lessons. This concludes that students under online distance learning gets more instructional support rather than the students under modular distance learning which gives a huge impact to their academic performances.

This study aims to determine the levels of status of the roles of the teachers and behavior of the students in English online distance learning during the first and second grading periods of the school year 2020-2021. There are ninety-five (95) students who participated in the study. The instrument used to gather data was the questionnaire. Employing the descriptive survey method of research, the teachers’ roles are examined into three categories. These categories are teachers’ affective roles, teachers’ planner roles, and teachers’ managerial roles during the English online distance learning. The roles have 10-item descriptors to describe the online distance learning teachers. The students’ behavior is examined into three categories, too. These categories are students’ behavior when reading, students’ behavior when writing, and students’ behavior when viewing and listening during their English online distance learning classes. Each role has 10-item descriptors to describe the behavior of the students. This study hypothesized that there is no significant relationship of the teachers’ roles and the students’ behavior in English online distance learning during the first and second grading periods of the school year 2020-2021. To test the significant relationship between the teachers’ roles and students’ behavior, correlation analysis is used.

As a response to the COVID-19 pandemic, many school administrators are forced to transform traditional schooling into an online distance learning environment. This commentary addresses how some of the challenges and implications of our research in leadership and instruction of one-to-one laptop schools are applicable to establishing a distance learning environment alongside current standards for instruction. School administrators are strongly encouraged to collaborate with teachers as soon as teachers report for the school year to help create a shared vision of effective online instruction and implement supplemental frameworks that will guide evaluation of teaching and learning online.

For a number of reasons, in particular the introduction of urgent quarantine measures, a temporary change is taking place in the format of full-time studies on distance learning. This requires a quick reorientation of the teacher and students to use educational solutions to provide remote access to teaching material. The article studies the requirements for building a distance course in order to quickly adapt full-time education to distance learning. The features of the organization of distance STEM education are determined. The pedagogical and technological aspects of supporting distance learning STEM are established. The problems that may arise during the organization of distance learning are analyzed and models for overcoming them are considered. An example of constructing a course in accordance with established requirements is given.

Online distance learning is offered not only in post-secondary distance education institutions but in traditional universities as well. With advances in mobile and wireless technologies, completing academic studies anywhere anytime should become feasible. Research in distance education and online learning has focused on computer-mediated communication, instructional design, learner characteristics, educational technology, and learning outcomes. However, little attention has been given to where exactly learners do their learning and studying and how the physical and social aspects of the physical environment within which the online learner is physically embedded (e.g., the home) supports and constrains learning activities. In this paper, the author proposes a conceptual model for understanding the role that the physical environment plays in online distance learning in higher education, drawing on theories and research in environmental psychology, online learning, telework and mobile work, and higher education. Several gaps in research are identified, and suggestions for future research are proposed.
