Abstract

The use of online learning in teaching Technical Vocational in the Senior High during this pandemic is a challenge. This study examines the impact of online learning in the Senior High School exit assessment in the Technical Vocational specializations in Alejo M Pacalso Memorial National High School. The use of phenomenological approach and thematic analysis, face-to-face talks, online interviews and observations were applied to synthesize, identify and come out with the findings. Findings confirm that education using online learning significantly impacts the exit assessment of the technical vocational learners as respondents has issues in technical, technological, physical, environmental, personal and psychological difficulties while using the said platform. Further, the research reflects that the knowledge domain can be highly met using online learning using discussion, video and learning materials as strategies but psychomotor and affective domain does not. Although some acknowledge that online learning benefits them because its self-paced, respondents clamor to be more confident when they learn the competency skills using hands-on than in online platform. Strengthening parent-teacher-stakeholders in partnership with the Department of Education will guarantee innovations, interventions and continuity of online learning to ensure high exit assessment results of senior high school technical vocational learners.
