ABSTRACT

This study examines essential factors that affect children’ quality of response towards a non-traditional learning platform specifically, self-learning modules (SLMs) as Philippine public school’s mode of service-learning delivery. Our objective is to determine the predictive power of access to internet, household food security, and parental involvement on the level of students’ engagement in these modular classes amid the health crisis. Drawing online responses from parents of public-school students (n=359), our regression analysis confirms the viability of our model F(3,355) = 19.2, p<.001. While we found that food security and parental involvement are predictors of students’ satisfactory engagement in their SLMs, internet access is not. Therefore, our model suggests that children with parents who take time to be involved in their studies and who reside in households with enough food are more likely to engage positively in their modular classes, whether or not the household has access to the internet.

摘要

本研究考察了影响儿童对非传统学习平台的反应质量的基本因素，特别是自学模块 (SLM) 作为菲律宾公立学校的服务学习交付模式。我们的目标是确定在健康危机期间，互联网接入、家庭食品安全和家长参与对学生参与这些模块化课程的水平的预测能力。从公立学校学生家长 ( n = 359) 获得在线回复，我们的回归分析证实了我们模型F (3,355) = 19.2, p的可行性<.001。虽然我们发现食品安全和家长参与是学生满意地参与 SLM 的预测因素，但互联网访问不是。因此，我们的模型表明，父母花时​​间参与学习并且居住在食物充足的家庭中的孩子更有可能积极参与模块化课程，无论家庭是否可以上网。
