Summary

The study aimed to determine the challenges encountered and

the suggestions offered by the faculty members who are currently

employed to private schools and how they assessed the

implementation of online learning.

The respondents of this study were the Faculty members from

the St. Anne Child Study Center and Infant Jesus Learning Academy

Center of Rodriguez Rizal. This study utilized Descriptive Evaluative

Method, the researchers conducted an online survey through Google

form and a virtual interview via Google meet, as well as document any
iv
analysis in gathering the data needed to know about the challenges

encountered in the online learning in the private school. Most

v
of the faculty members agreed that online learning platforms helped

them in the new mode learning both schools utilized the online

application “Schoology”.

The challenges encountered by the faculty members of the

private schools in online learning, most had encountered poor internet

connection and cheating. Some of the faculty members also had

struggled in interacting with students and to follow the new teaching

system. While others struggled with students’ dishonesty and their lack

of desire to learn.

The faculty members of private schools suggest enhancing the

features of online learning platforms such as upgrading accounts to

premium and to have stable internet connection and complete devices

for both teachers and students. Most of them also suggested to equip

them with seminars and orientation on how to effectively use online

learning platforms and to master other techniques in teaching through

online. Most of the teachers were fresh graduates who were eager to

gain teaching experiences in private schools. Female faculty were

more dominant than male teacher in numbers

The Faculty members assessed that the implementation of online

learning was useful and it helped them ease their teaching. Most of the

respondents were interested and enjoyed teaching using online

learning platforms. The faculty members of private schools

encountered challenges and they suggested that the online learning

platforms should be practiced and enhanced.

vi
 The researchers recommended to school administration to

administer an intervention program that may enhance the capabilities

of their teachers. The school may strengthen the partnership with its

stakeholders through continuous

vii
communication. It is important that in implementing various Distance

Learning Modality, there should still be strong partnership with the

learners, parent, and community for a successful implementation of

new learning modalities.
