Survey data assessing the junior high school students’ learning attitudes toward home-based education amidst the Covid-19 pandemic

Abstract

This dataset was obtained to determine the learning attitudes of junior high school (JHS) students toward Home-Based Education (HBE). A descriptive - survey approach was used employing a proportional stratified random sampling to determine the samples n = 398 drawn from a total population of N = 75,542 junior high school students enrolled in 42 public secondary schools in Zamboanga City Division for SY 2020–2021. The data collection was conducted from August 2021 to September 2021 amidst lockdown thus, a combined data collection - Online & Offline was conducted using an adopted validated instrument. Out of 398 samples considered, only 383 eligible consenting JHS students completed the survey with a response rate of 96.23% to include 274 (71.54%) Online & 109 (28.46%) Offline. There were two problems investigated to include determining the learning attitudes of JHS students measured in terms of Nature, Anxiety, Expectations, & Openness to Learning, and to determine whether there exists a significant difference between the learning attitudes of junior high school students across four Independent Variables (IVs): gender, grade level, age and socioeconomic status (SES). Mean, Standard Deviation, and MANOVA were used to analyze the data gathered. Data assumptions were employed before employing MANOVA, and based on the results obtained from the data analysis, the overall learning attitudes of junior high school students toward HBE is High; and learning attitude varies significantly across grade level and age in terms of Nature and Anxiety of Learning, and in the SES in terms of Expectations of Learning. .
